Abstract

This study examines the regulation of residential conservation areas in Salisbury, Marshall, and Peters Townships in Pennsylvania, USA, to derive guidelines for Chiang Kham City. It focuses on analyzing land use activities and building density and form controls. The findings suggest that Chiang Kham City could benefit from detailed regulations on density and architectural styles, highlighting a gap in its current conservation approach. This research underscores the need for Chiang Kham to refine its conservation policies by incorporating lessons from the case studies, aiming to enhance its residential areas while preserving environmental and aesthetic values.
