Preserving historical sites is essential for safeguarding cultural heritage and promoting tourism. This research focuses on developing maintenance management system for the conservation of historical sites, with Kimbiji and Mbuamaji in Kigamboni as case studies. The objective is to address maintenance and preservation challenges in the region. A mixed-method approach is employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Interviews, questionnaire and on-site assessments gathered insights from stakeholders, experts, and local communities. The aim of this research was to develop maintenance management system for the conservation of Kimbiji and Mbuamaji historical sites. Factors affecting maintenance effectiveness were identified, maintenance management model and maintenance management system was developed based on findings, integrating modern technologies, best practices, and community involvement for sustainable preservation. The developed maintenance management system (MMS) aims to conserve Kimbiji and Mbuamaji historical sites and serve as a model for others. This research supports policymakers, heritage managers, and communities in safeguarding cultural heritage, fostering responsible tourism, and promoting socio-economic growth.
