Shimoni is a pre-colonial town along the East African coast distinguished by Swahili architecture and slave trade heritage. This study employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, including condition surveys and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), to examine the condition of cultural heritage and residents’ perceptions toward conservation. Findings revealed deterioration of heritage resources caused by neglect, vandalism, inadequate maintenance, and uncontrolled architectural modifications. CFA confirmed nine key associative heritage values: economic, aesthetic, social, educational, historic, spiritual, symbolic, use, and sustainability values. The study further established a strong relationship between heritage preservation and community perceptions of heritage value. Despite strong community attachment, Shimoni’s cultural heritage remains vulnerable to continued decline without deliberate conservation interventions. The study recommends participatory conservation planning, adaptive reuse of historic buildings, stronger planning controls, heritage documentation, and community stewardship initiatives. These measures can support sustainable preservation, strengthen local identity, promote heritage tourism, and safeguard the historic town from extinction while contributing to scientific conservation approaches for Swahili settlements along the East African coast.
