Abstract:This paper emphasizes the significance of urban social and economic activities for the sustainable conservation of historic environment by elaborating the current predicament of urban historic environmental conservation and the development and evolution of the conservation of historic and cultural heritage at home and abroad. It illustrates that Space Syntax, as a theoretical method linking urban spatial structure with social and economic activities, can quantify the relationship between historic fabric and block vitality, which is applicable to the study of sustainable conservation of historic environment. Taking Xiguan
historic area in Guangzhou as an example, this paper uses space syntax to construct its quantitative spatial structure model in different periods, and reveals its spatial structure characteristics. This research will hopefully contribute to inspiring the sustainable conservation of historic environment of other cities.
