The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to collecting and analyzing information from the site visit, conducting a field survey represented by personal interviews with families, and conducting a questionnaire prepared for this purpose. In addition to documenting a heritage house, they were elected according to specific conditions and collected data on the physical structure. The research concluded by diagnosing many criteria related to the social structure and measuring the extent of the changes that occurred in it, in addition to discussing the impact of changes in the social structure, extracting their repercussions on the physical structure, and measuring the extent of the changes in the architectural characteristics that occurred in the heritage houses. It was concluded that the change in the social structure due to wars and the lack of awareness of methods of architectural preservation of cultural heritage leads to changes in the physical structure of residential homes, which in turn is reflected in the city's cultural identity. © 2024 The authors.
