The purpose of this book is to assess re-adaptive building impact to the social life of the users and their satisfaction after application of adaptive reuse and to evaluate the contribution of Asia Heritage Row after application of adaptive reuse towards cultural and aesthetical heritage values. The data is mainly collected from literature review, case study and questionnaires distributed to the end users of the Asia Heritage Row. The data is analyzed by determining the statically reliable relationship between adaptive reuse and social sustainability parameters. The associations between variables are examined by correlation. The findings show that adaptive reuse of Asia Heritage Row building has a significant value both; culturally and socially. It preserves the heritage significances as a place of social interaction and ensures its sustainability. The book then provides recommendations to improve application of adaptive reuse to the heritage buildings for future reference.
