Urban historical environments are one of the most prominent and effective
ones of some components to whom citizens can consubstantiate themselves to
cities, and give identity to them and time perspective to living spaces of
the cities. These areas are not only the histories of a society but also its
memory, culture and even future. Therefore, the conservation of urban
protected areas is not just a responsibility for local people living in these
areas also a responsibility for all society. Conserving and ensuring
sustainability of these areas is just possible with a process on which area
participants involve.
