Abstract
Nowadays, a lot of challenges are facing the urban development of spaces in cities, especially the heritage public spaces; these urban spaces provide significant ambiances and senses. Most of the cities have a strong well-acknowledged urban ambiance that is derived from its context, especially if the context of the cities is full of heritage sites that have deep, rich senses of knowledge. These public spaces are rich and full of significant heritage which is important to the cultural heritage of the users. This cultural heritage plays an important role in the perception of current and future generations. The main objective of this paper is to explore the senses of the users toward the historic preservation of those public spaces through adding creative ambiance to the existing atmosphere. Researchers will focus on literature review in analyzing the placemaking as its main tool in making successful heritage public space. Consequently, the analysis achieved through different phases, the main goal of the research, is the role of this attached space in the social approach. A qualitative method based on a theoretical analysis is introduced by theorists and practitioners on designing and understanding the principles of those heritage public spaces as well as integration of ambiance dimensions. This framework will be applied to the selected case study as a new proposal for evaluating the attached space in the heritage site to make it more successful. The results include a thorough evaluation and several questionnaires that are provided to the users as an attempt to shed the light implicitly on guidelines and recommendations to the community in the form of approaches, which in turn, could help in the development of those heritage sites and make them more attractive.
