By preserving the historical significance, and respecting and enhancing the local living environment, it is possible to imbue the site with renewed meaning during its rejuvenation process, taking into consideration the residents and other stakeholders. This conceptual approach aims to explore and define individual and societal aspects regarding cultural, economic, and local characteristics. How can we achieve a more equitable living environment for all stakeholders to foster autonomy and diversity at the site amidst challenges posed by cultural erosion and environmental changes.

Just as cultural beliefs have evolved at this location while commercial routes have ceased to exist, there has also been flooding due to rising water levels. Consequently, remaining residents have shifted towards an agricultural focus. It is evident that Sabli not only holds ancient histories but also experiences significant lifestyle transformations and spiritual culture shifts influenced by complex historical factors, environmental conditions, and economic influences. Therefore, approaching this historical site from a broad anthropological perspective is crucial in identifying opportunities for stakeholders at various levels to revitalize the site with new significance.
