Abstract: (37 Views)
Human settlements, especially historic villages, play a fundamental role in dynamic, vibrant, and sustainable communities, serving as a cradle for living, interaction, and growth. However, past experiences and traditional management methods have proven ineffective in addressing the new challenges faced by these settlements. This research aims to analyze the application of the "agile service" approach in the revitalization of the historic village of Esfahak, seeking to answer the main question: "How can the agile approach transform the revitalization of settlements into a living, human-centered, and effective process?" In contrast to traditional methods, the agile approach, by emphasizing public interaction, incremental action, responsiveness to change, and continuous learning, makes the revitalization process lively, dynamic, and human. Through field studies, semi-structured interviews with residents and experts, direct observation, and analysis of local documents and sprint steps, it is demonstrated that utilizing this method not only leads to physical revitalization but also social and cultural regeneration, shaping a settlement where people strive to enhance their lives and solve their problems. This approach is introduced as a practical and effective solution for managing human settlements, especially in historic contexts.
Keywords: Revitalization of Human Settlements, Agile Service, Public Participation, Sustainable Development, Historic Village of Esfahk.
