“…One is that space is deteriorating over time. As Farhadikhah et al [40] found in their study of Tehran, more and more early built communities in cities are experiencing problems such as single spatial function, inadequate supporting facilities, traffic congestion, and poor environmental hygiene. The other is that people's space requirements are increasing in the new era.…”

Toward the Sustainable Development of the Old Community: Proposing a Conceptual Framework Based on Meaning Change for Space Redesign of Old Communities and Conducting Design Practices

An increasing number of old communities are experiencing deterioration in their living environments, which negatively affects the sustainability of the urban environment. Many cities have tried to solve the above problems through reconstruction or micro-renovation, but the result is unsatisfactory. Social change has led to a shift in the meaning of community, so the space transformation of the old community cannot be carried out simply by increasing the function and beautifying the environment. To achieve sustainable development of the old community, we should recreate the contemporary meaning of the old community. This paper aims to innovate urban design approaches and promote sustainable urban development in its environmental, ecological, and cultural dimensions through the reinvention of vitality and contemporary values of built community spaces. Based on the theory of meaning change, this paper constructs a conceptual framework for the reinvention of space in the old community. In the case study of a block in Rongxiang, Wuxi, we verify the framework’s effectiveness and build spaces more in line with people’s lifestyles in the new era. Based on the study, we conclude that meaning change is the key to achieving sustainable development of old community spaces. The framework can provide a new reference for solving the social problems of aging urban space and achieving sustainable development of the urban environment.

“…Sachs [4] emphasizes the core values of equality and democracy, defining social sustainability as the comprehensive adoption of all human rights by all individuals. Despite the conceptual ambiguities surrounding social sustainability [19,23,24], studies emphasize the importance of parameters aimed at enhancing societal stability, cohesion, and well-being, revealing similar underlying relationships.…”

Social sustainability has emerged as a critical factor in evaluating societal welfare and well-being. Consequently, researchers have initiated the development of a theoretical framework to delineate the components of social sustainability, achieving notable progress in this endeavor. However, the interplay between the social dimension and the environmental and economic dimensions remains insufficiently explored in user experiences, posing challenges in integrating social sustainability into preliminary design parameters in the built environment and resulting in socially inefficient spaces. This study seeks to elucidate the relationship between social sustainability and the environment while devising a measurement methodology that encompasses the physical environment. Concentrating on public spaces, pivotal in daily experiences and reflective of individual interactions, the research was conducted across five distinct public spaces in the Seyhan district of Adana. Methodologically, the study employed field research, preliminary examination, and statistical analysis. Data collection techniques, including surveys, observations, and measurements, were utilized to unveil statistically significant correlations between social sustainability and the physical environment of public spaces. Consequently, this study delineates the dimensions of these relationships and translates them into actionable design data.

“…As mentioned in the introduction, the step of choosing proper indicators is relevant to obtain a coherent model [29]. Nowadays, several performance indicators were drafted, from energy [29,47] to the environmental [28,48]. According to the research performed to analyse the energy consumption habits and trends of occupants in nearly 50 homes in France and Spain [49], there was a strong relationship between the outside temperature and the heat consumption behaviour of the families (in apartments or single-family houses).…”

“…The three dimensions of environmental, economic, and social parameters play a relevant role in sustainable growth [26,27]. In this regard, a recent study [28] proposed an analysis based on the level of social sustainability of a neighbourhood. The social sustainability of two districts of Tehran, new and old, was compared to investigate how the social sustainability of citizens is affected by the quality of new buildings.…”

The Environmental and Energy Renovation of a District as a Step towards the Smart Community: A Case Study of Tehran

et al. 2023

As the world’s third-largest oil and natural gas producer, Iran consumed enormous amounts of non-renewable energy during the last twenty years. There are many obsolete buildings in the Iranian building stock, which required energy renovation. Many studies in the literature proposed energy retrofitting strategies to increase the efficiency of buildings, but few of them involve an energy network for the entire neighbourhood (such as district heating). Moreover, energy renovation is not sufficient to improve the smartness level of a community; in fact, it is essential to evaluate sustainable and social aspects. In this direction, this study aims to develop a comprehensive analysis of the current criticalities of a district in Tehran (District 5), proposing strategies to face the pollution of the city, provide a healthy environment for the citizens, and renovate the old buildings. The application of a decision support method is presented to set a priority ranking, pointing out the positive and negative impacts of each evaluated scenario. The energy renovation solution involved the installation of two storage tanks and solar collectors in each building and the connection with the district heating powered by waste to the energy plant. A multi-level car parking system and a noise mapping application were evaluated to solve mobility and pollution problems. Moving to the results, the priority ranking assesses that the most affordable action is the installation of a Solar Water Heater since energy and environmental indicators demonstrate its efficacy compared to the other solutions.
