Abstract

The renovation of waterfront industrial heritage sites represents a highly effective strategy for urban land reutilization. Such projects not only provide additional public spaces within cities but also significantly contribute to showcasing urban history and culture, fostering regional economic growth, and enhancing human well-being. Conducting post-occupancy evaluations（POE） from the user perspective is crucial for improving the sustainable management, maintenance, and design of future projects. This study focuses on the Yang Pier Historic Area, a significant waterfront industrial heritage site in Jingzhou City, China. Through field research and surveys, user satisfaction and importance were assessed. The collected data were then analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Kano model to quantitatively assess survey responses and establish an evaluation framework. The findings aim to inform the future renewal and optimization strategies for the Yang Pier’s waterfront industrial heritage and offer insights for the renovation and design of similar sites.
