Without a doubt, accurately identifying and improving historical sites and buildings is extremely important because it allows communities to continue to exist while preventing history from fading and being demolished. Abandoned sites may intentionally cause the deterioration of the assets and the surrounding urban area. (O.E.C.D., 2020)

The complex problems of abandoned historical sites pose a threat to surrounding structures and present a direct risk to the type and rate of crime in a process known as "house stripping," "scavenging," or "urban mining." In those cases, the offender destroys the asset and then sells it away. Abandoned urban areas are highly linked to naturally increasing and developing crime rates and types, which increases the value of the asset as well. (O.E.C.D., 2020)

This empirical research will demonstrate the importance of involving the preservation of archaeological sites that should be linked to a long-term conservation plan to prevent them from being abandoned and demolished, as well as discussing the term "heritage crime" and the relation between crime and abandoned heritage areas.

That will be discussed through studying the local area of "El Amir Hamad Corner," which is considered to be one of the extensive archaeological areas at Meet-Ghamr Dakahleia, Egypt. And it also states what the area suffers from; like negligence, demolishing, and fewer amenities and services by the recent users of the space, from criminals to displaced people.

The study aims to properly prepare a development plan for the archaeological site of El Amir Hamad Corner, taking into consideration the area's physical built environment on an urban scale. Throughout:

A conclusion will be obtained at the end based mainly on the analytical data and research results to create an optimum solution for that archaeological site of El Amir Hamad

Since Tourism remain a common phenomenon in Egypt as a modern country consists of 1/3 of world-historical sites, so it is clear for various reasons that developing and conserving those sites in a way to improve social, sociological, and psychological aspects of that district is a must. And not abandoning them and which in consequence will perceive as an explicit and healthy image for space. (Source not found, n.d.).

Tourism leads to a temporarily increased number of people from outside the local district to enter in a relatively compact area, it can easily change a hazardous site from being unsafe to safe, once introducing the tourists (allowed stranger) to the local district which lead to transform the area character to better one especially if it was already suffering from certain types of crime like drug dealing, theft, prostitution, and vandalism. (Source not found, n.d.)

For a city that have many archeological and historical sites , the unused urban space and abandoned urban gaps between buildings and other physical built areas with no community attention will cause many problems concerning social, psychological and physical spaces. Those spaces have high potential for reconstruction and conservation, and integrating them to the surrounding community gradually with well-designed plans of conservation will help in developing those areas through time.

And for taking case study of el Amir Hamad corner to prepare an economic and social development plan to improve regional security and reduce the local crime rate as it already consists of some historical buildings (El Ghamry Mosque-el Amir Hamad minaret-El Arwam church), also suffering from neglecting and low conservation and maintenance level, also accommodate certain types of criminal acts which merely make it an unsafe area for local citizens.

It was constructed by El Amir Hamad Ben Mekled Beik in the year 1615 and it was considered as an Islamic an archaeological site in 21 of November 1951 with an official declaration no.10357. It typically consists of El Amir Hamad minaret which is close to el grand Ghamry mosque founded on The Mamluk Period and the historic mosque occupies a significant position with a Nile view of Meet-Ghamr, Egypt.

Inheritance crime is a concept attached to any heritage site that means "any offence which harms the value of heritage assets and their settings to this and future generations or which impairs their enjoyment." In other words, it could be said that it's a punishable offence in which any individual intentionally harms the moral or physical value of inheritance assets and their historical settings. (Source not found, n.d.)

According to Yaron Gottlieb, there are many different types of crimes against our heritage, including: theft of lead and other metals from churches and other historic buildings; architectural theft; illegal metal detecting; unlawful alteration and damage to listed buildings; unlawful demolition of buildings and structures in Conservation Areas; damage to monuments; arson; graffiti; and other forms of antisocial behavior in proximity to heritage assets. (Source not found, n.d.)

Most heritage assets are properly protected by specific legislation to typically prevent harm intentionally caused by possible damage or unlicensed alteration. However, other crimes such as apparent theft, criminal damage, aggravated arson, and anti-social behavior offences can also damage and harm inheritance assets and interfere constructively with the allowed public's social enjoyment and personal knowledge of their cultural heritage. (Han & Helm, 2020).

In Egypt, the touristic sites are carefully secured, most of them by the established rules and local legislation, but in some lesser cities that typically have a lot of local historical heritage and valued assets, they suffer severely from being away from the excessive regulations and political rules and are scarcely left for gradual deterioration, as in the proposed area of Meet Gamer Dakhalia, Egypt. It could easily be affected by heritage crime. (Thwaites et al., 2016)

The proposed study area typically contains one of the famous and valued minarets of el Amir Hamad and also the ruined Gamry mosque, which is similar in a unique design to "Azahar el Sharif." They suffer from some types of heritage crime that include architectural theft of some ornaments from the mosque and church (particularly of wood and stone); criminal damage (e.g. graffiti on a scheduled monument); illegal remain detecting; anti-social behaviour (most particularly occupying and living inside historic sites and some activities); unauthorised changes to historic buildings and the illegal trade in cultural objects. (Source not found, n.d.)

Abandoning that historic site without merely maintaining it has naturally led to radically increasing violent crime rates through time, with some specific types of punishable crimes that intentionally harm the abandoned properties and local habitations, and consequent crimes that inevitably take place and develop as well. (Postma & Schmuecker, 2017)

The potential tourist and resident users of a certain space simply propose an economic diversity of possible options to some more economic improvements to typically increase the nominal income for both stack holders and local habitats of that local area. The idea of the local tourism industry on the economic scale naturally involves many alternative options, so it offers and generates continuous occupations in many altered areas. (Source not found, n.d.)

By encouraging local tourism through the introduction of a suitable development plan, the local economic value of the urban space will increase, which will help to bring investments to the area and Local hotels, cafes, food courts, gathering pedestrian points, tour guide agencies, retail, and souvenir giveaway shops will typically help to reliably deliver many diverse levels of gainful employment for local people in the neighborhood. (Bryant, 2020))

According to a study in Philadelphia, which is considered to be one of the heritage cities that suffer from vacant and abandoned buildings, the city is using an abandoned building remediation strategy to reduce blight and crime, stabilize real estate value, and encourage economic development. The result was that the low-cost method of possible renovation could possibly be an effective means to reduce crime. And other outcomes, this study provides useful evidence of the potential effect of abandoned building remediation policies on decreasing crime rates in cities. (WTO et al., 2002)

Cultural tourism positively receives a massive consequence in flourishing any archaeological site by its vast impact of radically increasing pedestrian safety, social balance, positively enhancing criminal attitude, and economic balance to the place, so it was humbly proposed to conserve the historic site with all the great archaeological buildings inside it (ElAmir Hamad Minaret, El Local Ghamry mosque, and El Arwam Church) and to widely establish a current path for tourists to instantly get inside the site to enjoy the magnificent scenes offered by the historic buildings and mosques inside after carefully restoring it to the past situation, and from outside, the extensive view of the Nile and El Arwam Church. The solution proposal indicates precisely the following steps of considerable improvement:

The touristic path proposed according to the arrangement of the significant archaeological building inside the site with profound respect to the main streets, Secondary Street, car pathways, pedestrian walkways, and empty land distribution.

Three possible pathways came clear to the specific plan proposed as following:

The potential problem of abandoned buildings and vacant lots is that they are devastated structures seen daily by urban residents, may create physical opportunities for violence by sheltering illegal activity, and ignoring the historical assets and areas and enabling them for destruction, abundance, and ignorance could lead to severe radical changes on the minor scale of urban fabric and also in crime typology and rates.

A complete management plan should be applied by the government to improve those sites and to improve them gradually, not barely maintaining the case as it is. An essential part of the potential problem was because of the endowment policies and how they properly treat the old assets of the local area.

By following the lead of abandoned building remediation by introducing the historical tourism resources to the site, many problems will be easily rectified by time. It also contributes to the elimination of crime and fear of crime rates, which will ensure the continued development plan proposed to the captive population of those areas. And the economic factor of the site comprises a crucial factor that will affect the factors of development. Urban planning studies for heritage areas that involve tourism as their main source of income in order to benefit from their development, the creation of new economic value that is supportive to the wellbeing and lifestyle of the inhabitants and users.

Improving the behavioral, social, and psychological conditions and wellbeing of the local community represents a significant challenge to typically decreasing the prime rate of possible crime and fear of crime.

It truly supports the successful completion of the work and appropriately regulates cultural tourism at such archaeological sites. The alternative relationship between crime rates and cultural tourism undoubtedly remains a sensitive spot of debate for a long time. Some researchers suggest that tourist destinations can clearly increase the rate of crime and the area image, and most research states that relation. But on the other hand, involving a modern type of active users from different cultures inside any space can definitely affect the crime rates that will gradually decrease by the time the local area is improved as a recent economic source for work will take place and also a new lifestyle will be developed under the supervision of the authoritarian government and will affect economic and social seriously.

Empirical data on the area of crime types and sufficient quantity should be sufficiently cleared from time to time to identify hot spots and initiate the exact action at the right time. And crime data that will be generously offered by the communist government for the general public to ensure the key role of local awareness and encourage inhabitants to help in solving crime issues, and to increase the inhabitant's self-ownership feeling that will lead to increasing the perception of safety and decreasing crime rates.
