Bu araştırma, Kıbrıs'ın merkez bölgesindeki önemli bir tarihi alan olan Elefteria Meydanı için uygulanan yenileme girişimlerinin kapsamlı değerlendirmesini incelemektedir. Bu çalışma, meydanın kültürel önemini, mimari özgünlüğünü ve toplumla ilişkisini göz önünde bulundurarak meydanın yenilenmesinin çeşitli yönlerini derinlemesine analiz ediyor. Ayrıca, Elefteria Meydanı örneğini derinlemesine inceleyerek, çağdaş yenileme yöntemleri arasındaki karmaşık ilişkiyi aydınlatmayı ve kültürel açıdan önemli bir tarihi çevredeki farklı yaklaşımları ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, mimari analiz, kültürel mirasın korunması ve paydaş bakış açılarını bütünleştirerek, çağdaş işlevsellik ile tarihi unsurların korunması arasındaki karmaşık dengeyi aydınlatmayı hedeflemektedir. Sonuçlar, Elefteria Meydanı'nın yeniden canlandırılmasına dair değerli bilgiler sunmakla birlikte, kültürel korumayı, tarihi ortamlardaki kentsel alanların modern gereklilikleriyle bütünleştirmek için daha geniş bir çerçeve göstermektedir.
