Many buildings and archaeological sites suffer from issues primarily caused by a lack of community awareness regarding their importance. Recently, all sustainable development plans aimed within their three axes (environmental, social and economic) and other axes that intersect with them, to achieve societal sustainability by providing the needs of society and improving their living conditions, environment and economic status. This improvement reflects positively on its surrounding environment including archaeological and heritage sites and buildings. Therefore, the study came with the aim of clarifying the role of local communities in rehabilitation plans of archaeological and heritage buildings and sites, which were applied to Bab Zuweila and Nafisa Al-Bayda Sabil and Agency. To achieve this, the study relied on the applied methodology through field visits and monitoring the current state of preservation and the nature of current uses. This was followed by a proposal to overcome the problems negatively affecting the buildings and the heritage site and a proposal to rehabilitate each of them relying on the community inquiry and participation. The study revealed the positive impact of community participation in rehabilitation plans, showing community acceptance and support for the current uses of Bab Zuweila and Nafisa Al-Bayda's Sabil. However, the majority did not accept the current use of Nafisa Al-Bayda's Agency. Consequently, a proposal was developed with local community participation to reuse Nafisa Al-Bayda Agency as a craft and exhibition center. Besides a proposal to develop the surrounding urban area and overcome its problems.
