The conservation of architectural heritage has received significant attention due to the pressures of rapid urbanization and the complexities of stakeholder dynamics. However, existing studies frequently fail to pinpoint key issues or develop effective response frameworks. This study employs a multi-stage mixed-methods approach, integrating Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) with a five-dimensional analytical framework that includes architecture, urban planning, social factors, economic considerations, and property-related issues. Data collection involved 22 experts and 573 residents, leading to the identification of 36 critical issues in architectural heritage conservation. The findings underscore five key concerns from residents' perspectives, including challenges in structural reinforcement, pressures from modern transportation, and impacts on their quality of life. To address these challenges, the study suggests innovative solutions, including intelligent reinforcement technologies, smart traffic management systems, and shared community benefit funds. By presenting a systematic, multi-dimensional framework, this research offers practical tools to foster stakeholder collaboration and enhance the sustainability and social benefits of conservation efforts.
