Yazd city has long been one of the most important producers of handmade textiles in Iran. In the early of twentieth century, textile transformed to industrial setting. With the establishment of large factories, Yazd was recognized as one of the main hubs of textiles production in Iran. Unfortunately, this industry has been declining for decades sin...

... planners can evaluate the economic, social, cultural, ecological, environmental, political, and other factors using the External Factor Evaluation matrix and also using Internal Factor Evaluation Matrix, they can identify and evaluate the relationships between the different subjects and provide solutions for them (David, 2011). The sum of the final scores of the factors in the IFE matrix is the total final scores of the internal factors, and the sum of the final scores of the factors in the EFE matrix is the total final scores of the external factors, which is a number in the range of 1 to 4 and the average is 2.5 as presented in (Tables 2 and 3). ...Similar publications

... The large-scale factories that began to arise in Yazd in the early part of the 20th century were contextualized and adapted to incorporate social-cultural forms and functions ( Table 2). The Yazdi karkhanehs, known as large-scale factories, were able to maintain their existing vernacular architecture almost through to the 1970s [46]. Eventually, however, as state-of-the-art industrial technologies increasingly entered the city, factories lost their identity and harmony along with the existing historic urban texture. ...
... Many other new buildings and architectures were affected by these modernizing technologies as well. New textile manufacturing machineries and industrial forms began to be increasingly imported from Europe and the United States as the 20th century progressed [46]. With the introduction of these new western technologies in Yazd, textile manufacturing expanded into a commercial industry, and newer, more modern factories appeared. ...
... With the introduction of these new western technologies in Yazd, textile manufacturing expanded into a commercial industry, and newer, more modern factories appeared. The first new industrial buildings built close to the end of old historic residential neighborhoods retained some vernacular accents, for example, the use of a central courtyard, portico, badgir or wind-catcher, as well as traditional techniques such as brick columns, vaults, and domes [46] (Table 2). These early factories reveal an industrial process incorporating vernacular urban texture with vernacular architecture and hired local weavers. ...
This research studies the traces of an ancestral textile produced in karkhanehs (workspaces) located in the historical city of Yazd, Iran. The case study undertaken here demonstrates how an intangible heritage of textile weaving through generations of families in Yazd, Iran, interrelates with tangible vernacular architecture and tourism at three different scales: (i) in everyday life in karkhanehs at home, (ii) in the neighborhoods, and (iii) the UNESCO World Heritage city of Yazd. The three scales related to the enactment of this vernacular handicraft are examined using architectural methods to examine structures ranging from 90 to 600 years in age. This was complemented by discussions with local weavers and residents, as well as direct observation in domiciles, neighborhoods, and the city. Actor-Network Theory helped to trace the networks of actors and relationships between the tangible built architectural heritage and intangible cultural practices of weaving, showing how different genders, ages, worldviews (beliefs) and practices came together to produce this heritage textile. Actor-Network Theory also helped to study the relationships between economy, culture, society and tourism, with respect to the evolution and transformations of the historic urban dwellings, vernacular architecture and vernacular weaving handicrafts through the three scales examined. Implications for sustaining and conserving this ancestral tradition of textile weaving and managing tourism's positive as well as disruptive influences on cultural heritage conservation are discussed.
This paper aims to explore the social and economic values of textile manufacturing heritage sites in Yazd (Iran). A critical literature review was made to address the values of heritage. Then, the values of heritage were scrutinized based on industrial heritage sites in Yazd through the case study method. In-depth interviews with 12 experts were conducted, and the results showed that prior to reusing industrial heritage, its historical and cultural value should be recognized. The results also revealed that the holding of events at these sites with an impact on the collective memory should involve people. Moreover, adaptive reuse has had an impact on urban macroeconomics and created economic value added for locals. The results also confirmed that having multiple buildings inside a factory might help with the restoration phasing plan.
