Abstract

StatementHousing in Syria needs to be rebuilt due to the recent war. There are several different reconstruction methods used around the world. Most of them agree that maintaining a neighborhood’s identity is one of the most important criteria during reconstruction. Since reconstruction of residential buildings in Syria has not yet begun, so practical research plays a crucial role in choosing the reconstruction strategy.Research objectiveReconstruction of residential areas in Homs in accordance with the city's physical identity. It will be performed by analyzing post-war reconstruction approaches and selecting the most appropriate method according to experts.MethodsDifferent post-war reconstruction strategies have been identified to preserve the physical identity of residential buildings. Four criteria and several sub-categories are discussed for architectural identity. After that, several scenarios for architects to consider when undertaking reconstruction work. Then, experts complete a questionnaire, and the Analytic Hierarchical Process and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchical Process models are used to determine the results.ConclusionAccording to the experts, post-war reconstruction should consider historical and contemporary aspects, maintaining coherence between them, and maintaining neighborhood identity.
