The tendency to apply the discourses on tourism and population pressures from coastal cities to these inland territories can be detrimental to their analysis given the sheer difference in demographic dynamics. Transformations in traditional architecture\u2014a key facet for defining these historic urban landscapes\u2014require analysing within this social context. The imperative need to rehabilitate traditional buildings, endowing them with the living conditions communities today require, must be guided by morphological analysis, knowledge of housing history, typologies, and traditional construction techniques. This rehabilitation concept integrates into the transformation processes that traditional architecture has been undergoing for centuries, constituting adaptable and flexible structures across their organisational variants, which should be studied through a prospective approach. The article characterises the transformation of urban domestic architecture in the region, from the early modern period to the present. The results of various research projects are summarised, gathering over 500 cases. The conclusion argues that the historical process itself results in a set of themes, tools, and opportunities for these buildings\u2019 adaptation to current needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/architecture4010004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,5]],"date-time":"2024-01-05T10:06:43Z","timestamp":1704449203000},"page":"35-45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Contribution of Typological Studies to the Integrated Rehabilitation of Traditional Buildings: Heritage Enhancement of Urban Centres in Inner Alentejo, Portugal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Ana C.","family":"Rosado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Din\u00e2mia-CET, ISCTE, 1649-026 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"CEAACP, Campo Arqueol\u00f3gico de M\u00e9rtola, 7750-353 M\u00e9rtola, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9894-7811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Reim\u00e3o Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEAACP, Campo Arqueol\u00f3gico de M\u00e9rtola, 7750-353 M\u00e9rtola, Portugal"},{"name":"CEAACP, Universidade do Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1080\/09669582.2011.596279","article-title":"Community-based cultural tourism: Issues, threats and opportunities","volume":"20","author":"Salazar","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
