Abstract
Heritage buildings result from human cultures and are a significant expression of civilization and cultural thought. It has become part of our lives, and informatics has become in all areas of life; it has a real place in human production and affects the present and future. From here, it was necessary to think about how to preserve the heritage buildings and their protectors in a way that suits the requirements of the present era and preserve them for future generations by introducing sustainable development and its fields to conservation operations. Minimal sustainable conservation operations are using modern technologies without compromising the essence of the building and its identity, but rather working to strengthen its heritage features. Thus, the focus of the general research became modern procedures for preserving heritage buildings. The research problem is the existence of a knowledge gap between theory and practice related to how to preserve heritage buildings, including their continuity for future generations because they are a source of inspiration for the local architect. Therefore, the analytical framework included building a comprehensive theoretical framework of knowledge about heritage buildings, preservation, and sustainable development factors and how to introduce technology to preserve the building in the future.
