PL

Po wpisaniu historycznej części miasta Jazd na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO w 2017 r. liczba odwiedzających miasto turystów wzrosła. Omawiany w artykule obszar składa się z kilku dzielnic. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu przedstawienie propozycji planu ochrony najstarszej z nich, czyli dzielnicy Shah Abul-Ghasem, stworzonego na podstawie podziału elementów zagospodarowania przestrzennego zaproponowanego przez Golkara (2000). Analiza została przeprowadzona w oparciu o badania terenowe w rzeczonej dzielnicy. Obiekty będące elementami zagospodarowania przestrzennego zostały sfotografowane, a następnie podzielone na kategorie jako środowiskowe, funkcjonalne oraz estetyczno-eksperymentalne. Na podstawie zebranych wyników zaproponowano rekomendacje dla rozwoju turystyki w badanym obszarze.

After the inscription of the Historic City of Yazd on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2017, the number of tourists visiting increased. The area is formed of several neighborhoods. This study aims to propose a conservation plan for the oldest, the Shah Abul-Ghasem Neighborhood, using the urban design qualities suggested by Golkar. The study based on a field survey in the neighborhood was carried out in such a way that items related to urban design qualities were photographed and categorized into environmental, functional and aesthetic-experimental components. Proposed measures and recommendations for the development of tourism in the area are presented based on the field survey results.
