Over the past sixty years, the main stream of heritage conservation has been striving to reach a consensus and establish an optimal framework -the most effective approach for conservation, applicable in any scenario. It is alleged that this ultimate framework can be depicted in the form of conservation doctrines. In this article, we argue that the roots of this way of perceiving the situation of planning and making decisions for heritage can be found in the rationality inspired by enlightenment and rational planning, and it is called "Rational conservation". The rigid view of rational conservation has restricted conservationists in their approach to real-world challenges. The Historic Urban Landscape Recommendation is a recent rational conservation doctrine that proposes a six-step linear process for conservation of urban heritage. This rational conservation guideline transforms the decision-making process into a simplicity and certainty world and proposes solutions that can be applied universally. As a result, it has impeded the ability to effectively tackle the obstacles.
The primary aim of this article is to shed light on the stagnant state of the current theories of heritage conservation in terms of understanding theoretical challenges: Their perspective on heritage conservation is limited and narrow-minded. In order to pursue this fundamental problem, the authors ask a question: What is the competing paradigm for this rational view of conservation, and can it draw the better way for urban heritage conservation?
This article reviews the literature, critiques rational conservation and suggests the paradigm shift from rational conservation to pragmatic conservation through qualitative research method and abductive reasoning strategy. The presented pragmatic conceptual model alters the planning context into a complex and uncertain circumstance. In this situation, the conservator is not faced with a neutral and non-political backdrop, but rather a heavily politicized world with power relationships at play. The Pragmatic conservation underscores the shift from viewing conservation as an external and objective concept to recognizing it as an internal and intersubjective realm. It emphasizes the significance of the conservator as a person engaged in communication with other actors. This article explores the concept of communicative action, wherein actors engage in dialogue and exchange ideas as "deliberative practitioners". The outcome of this deliberative process culminates in the final decision regarding the conservation of urban heritage. During the deliberative process, in addition to pre-determined rules and guidelines, rational arguments, emotions, and innovation also contribute.
