Kilinc, Aysem. "Value Assessment For Industrial Heritage In Zonguldak." Master's thesis, METU, 2009. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/3/12610680/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to develop a value assessment method for industrial heritage in Zonguldak, one of the symbolic industrial cities in Turkey where mining has been the leading force since the discovery of hard coal in the mid-19th century. Values to decide what to conserve and why are searched during this process under the light of discussions on industrial heritage and values of the architectural conservation.
Focusing on this aim, this study is structured in four parts as the survey on industrialization and industrial heritage, review and discussion of value types, research on Zonguldak, and implementation of value assessment process for the selected study area with the proposed value types.
To conclude, value assessment process is a vital step in conservation of cultural heritage. For the industrial heritage, a relatively recent concept in the conservation discipline, existing value types need to be re-assessed. This thesis performs an
exemplification of value assessment for industrial heritage over a selected study area in the Zonguldak coalfield and proposes possible decisions under the light of this valuation.

Shackelford, J. "Heritage matters : understanding value in crisis Syria." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2015. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1465059/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the production and consumption of material cultural heritage in contemporary Syria, both prior to and during the uprising that began in March 2011. Guided by a material culture perspective, this research pays particular attention to the network of relationships between people and things, and how these relationships illuminate larger social cosmologies. Through field research conducted in Syria, it has become evident that in times of economic and/or political crisis dramatic changes occur regarding what heritage means and why it matters. Prior to the crisis, a general modern humanist conception of preservation and conservation of the material landscape prevailed in Syria. However, during the crisis, general moral values have been in a constant state of flux, and heritage objects have become opportunistically exploited symbolically and economically in ways that paradoxically both enhance and physically endanger the value of the objects in question. This issue is one that goes to the heart of UNESCO’s World Heritage mission, which began in reaction to the enormous amount of plunder and destruction during the Second World War. It’s not that heritage really stops mattering; rather, it simply starts mattering in a different way. I argue that, in crisis Syria, what heritage does is confer a perceived greatness in the past, symbolized through its material remains, unto whatever group is able to assert physical and/or discursive authority over heritage objects in the present. This, in turn, reinforces that group’s authority and grounds it, literally, in the material world. Thus, as social control breaks down, heritage objects and sites become primary nodes of contestation, which both increases their value and makes them more susceptible to exploitation and destruction.

Full textAbstract:
Heritage sites, inclusive of cultural landscapes, are understood to derive their significance from perceptions of beauty, sense of place and, when it has been impacted by humans, its genius loci and tangible qualities and the overlay of their intangible associations. In order for a site to be recognized concurrence of an Authorised Heritage Discourse whose content is constructed by academics and professionally trained heritage experts and an Autochthonous Discourse defined and expressed by laypersons, occupying or having an association with the site or sites. When Ida's Valley Cultural Landscape underwent processes of identification and declaration (formal process) as a National Heritage Site in 2008 the assumption was that there was consensus between the two views, the Authorized Heritage Discourse and the Autochthonous Discourse. The hypothesis, then, in the case of Ida's Valley Cultural Landscape which lies just beyond the limits of the town, Stellenbosch, was that there was agreement between the AHD and the AD. The question that arose was whether the two readings of heritage value aligned and whether there really was agreement in terms of the significance of the site and the values it represented. This is found not to be the case. Concerns were raised regarding the manner in which the public participation process was handled, the content of the statement of significance around issues of identification, identity and, consequently, its impact on the idea of value. In addition, the issues of land for development, the locus of land ownership and the subsequent value and universal acceptance were placed under scrutiny and severely criticized by the local public and community groups. The conclusion was that there was no agreement between the two positions. The dissertation describes the exploration of these tensions.

Full textAbstract:
All communities form attachments, both physical and metaphysical, and these define a community’s cultural identity. The social phenomenon that connects people and places is as significant as the material heritage; at times more significant. The dominant disourse of heritage has long focused on the preservation and conservation of material remains, and as a consequence it has drawn attention away from the social and cultural contexts which are important. Originating from a set of Western elitist ideas, the ideas of patrimoine and historic monument directed the heritage conservation of the early French in Angkor. Since the rediscovery of the Angkor temples in 1862, early French research was concentrated solely on Angkor’s monumental heritage. A systematic process of documentation, restoration and conservation was begun with the establishment of Conservation d’Angkor in Siem Reap in 1908. The interventions centred on the monuments paid very little attention to the social relevance to the small communities that lived in the region at the time. The local Khmer associations with Angkor Wat and some of the ruined temples through Animism and Buddhism went unnoticed and as a result there is a limited understanding of social values that may have previously existed. The political instability of the 1970s further contributed to this lacuna of knowledge. Authorised Heritage Discourse (after Smith 2006) is legitimised internationally through a series of recommendations, charters, conventions and documents; including the 1972 W orld Heritage Convention. The imposition of these hegemonic constructs of heritage exclude other notions of heritage, and the over-arching outstanding universal value negates the local social values, overshadows local communities and raises concerns about fundamental cultural rights. Angkor World Heritage Site (AWHS) was studied using case study methodology. Five study villages were chosen due to their proximity to signifi cant heritage features, and sixty-three villagers were inter! viewed u sing semi- structured in-depth interview methods, along with thirteen experts. The findings from the interviews clearly establish that the local Khmers are connected to the Angkorian landscape, amidst the heritage conundrums. The study has helped reveal the complexity that exists at Angkor, and the tenuousness of cultural connections that link the local villagers with the Angkorian temples and archaeological remains. These delicate connections, currently threatened by heritage management restrictions, development and tourism need to be nurtured and strengthened. They are important in the assertion of the local community’s cultural identity and an understanding of these connections will help facilitate a better management of the AWHS.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis explores the relationship between archaeological tourism, World Heritage and social value in contemporary China. It intends to provide an innovative insight into such connections by scrutinizing the impact of archaeological tourism on the social values that local communities attribute to archaeological sites that are either inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites or in the process of becoming one. Archaeological tourism refers to people’s activity of consuming the past through visiting places of archaeological significance. In this doctoral thesis, the discussion concerning archaeological tourism focuses on specific types of archaeological sites; those that are either inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List or are in the process of achieving World Heritage Status. The growing commercialization of archaeological sites for tourism, compounded by the rising influence of the World Heritage List, has greatly affected the lives of communities in the immediate vicinity of archaeological sites. One way to comprehend such an effect is to analyze the changes in the social values assigned to those sites by their local residents. This is because archaeological tourism has an ability to (re)create and modify those social values attributed to archaeological sites by their local population, by changing their function, capacity, quality and meaning. In this process, the UNESCO World Heritage List also plays an important role in providing advice on the touristic transformation of these sites in preparation for World Heritage inscription, especially during the pre-nomination period.Set against this background, this doctoral thesis aims to analyze the impact of tourism on the social values that local communities attribute to archaeological sites that are either on the UNESCO World Heritage List or in the process of being assigned World Heritage status. The Daming Palace archaeological site and the Huashan rock art area are taken as its case studies. Both sites are excellent examples when it comes to representing Chinese archaeological sites in the two main phases of attaining World Heritage status; nomination and full designation. In order to achieve the general aim of this doctoral research, four objectives are proposed. The first is the identification ofthe main issues that have emerged from the current development of archaeological tourism in China. Secondly, this thesis critically examines the development of archaeological tourism at the two case study sites. Thirdly, an in-depth analysis is made of the perceptions and attitudes of local communities towards such development in the two cases studied. The final objective is the discussion of the impact of archaeological tourism on social values attributed to the two sites by their local communities with reference to the influence of the World Heritage List. To attain these objectives, the investigation undertaken in this doctoral thesis employs qualitative approaches under the theoretical framework of archaeological ethnography. The ultimate goal of the research is to encourage further reflection on the existing management mechanisms of archaeological heritage in China and worldwide.Esta tesis doctoral analiza la relación entre turismo arqueológico, Patrimonio Mundial y valor social en China, proporcionando una visión innovadora en las conexiones establecidas entre cada uno de estos tres parámetros. Se pretende examinar el efecto que el turismo arqueológico está teniendo en los valores sociales que las comunidades locales atribuyen a los sitios arqueológicos que, o están inscritos ya como Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, o que están en proceso de convertirse en tales. El primero de los elementos centrales en este trabajo es el “turismo arqueológico”, concepto con el que nos referimos a la actividad de consumir el pasado a través de la visita a lugares que contienen monumentos y otro tipo de cultural material del pasado. En muchas partes del mundo, los sitios arqueológicos se utilizan cada vez más para fines comerciales sobre todo mediante la promoción del turismo cultural, a la vez que, dada su capacidad para hacer propaganda narrativas nacionales y siguiendo una tradición establecida durante los dos últimos siglos, siguen siendo explotados como medio de promoción del nacionalismo. Con esto quiero dar a entender que estas dos funciones que acabo de exponer más arriba, por una parte la promoción de la identidad nacional y la educación del público sobre la narrativa nacional y por la otra el turismo arqueológico-cultural no son incompatibles, siendo este último el de más reciente aparición pero habiéndose convertido hoy en día en un componente cada vez más importante de la economía local e incluso nacional, puesto que fomenta la generación de ingresos y la creación de puestos de trabajo. El segundo de los elementos centrales a esta tesis doctoral es el Patrimonio Mundial. El análisis de la forma en la que el turismo está afectando a la arqueología se centrará no en todos los sitios arqueológicos sin distinción, sino en aquellos que ya han inscritos en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial o están en proceso avanzado de conseguirlo. Con “Lista del Patrimonio Mundial”. El valor social, el tercer elemento crucial en esta tesis doctoral, está relacionado con la reflexión sobre las comunidades locales en áreas de Patrimonio Mundial.

Antoniazzi, Luca. "The sustainability of film heritage : cultural policy, digitalisation and value." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2017. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/16918/.
Full textAbstract:
Digital preservation is posing major challenges to audiovisual institutions. However, debates surrounding infrastructural sustainability and stewardship in relation to film heritage (FH) are still underdeveloped. In light of this, the thesis examines changes in external relationships and the internal processes of film heritage institutions (FHIs). The methods used are document analysis and elite interviews. The former allows investigation of the broad institutional climate in which FHIs operate. The latter allows analysis of the insights and values of established professionals who are key figures in policy formation. The findings of the thesis are structured in three blocks. Firstly, the institutional context. FHIs have been influenced by neoliberal cultural policies, in three main ways: (1) they are de facto asked to prioritise digital access over other activities; (2) they have been pushed towards collaborative provision to pursue economies of scale; (3) they have been pushed towards a more frequent use of public/private partnerships. Meanwhile, the relationships with other important institutional players (universities and the film industry), seem to remain substantially intact. Secondly, organisation. The rapid increase in preservation costs is not being met by public subsidy or other forms of income. Indeed, new economic resources are provided mainly to support digital access so that preservation solutions are, in most cases, temporary and fragmented initiatives. As far as the analogue collections are concerned, the readjustment of some archival practices does not correspond to substantial changes in archival principles. Thirdly, dissemination. Due to the configuration of the institutional context, online access, for the time being, is only offering limited opportunities. More opportunities, in the long run, might be offered by theatrical presentations due to lowering distribution costs. The thesis offers three main proposals for action in relation to each of the previous blocks: (1) systematic lobbying and development of stronger relationships with academia to gain legitimacy and to encourage regulations for the IT sector; (2) setting up publicly-owned digital preservation infrastructures and, when possible, safeguarding analogue processing capacity to avoid mass digitisation; (3) elaboration of a richer articulation of the cultural and social value of film heritage.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout history, the direct or indirect choice of preservation has resulted in the successful incorporation of tangible products of the human past into modern cultural environments. Within the current American historic preservation system, "significance" is used as a delimiter for identifying historic properties that are determined beneficial to the heritage of the American people. As defined under U.S. law, however, "significance" is attributed only to places and objects whose importance is limited within an historical or scientific framework. This thesis proposes that the significance of historic properties transcends the boundaries of these limited frameworks of importance, and demonstrates that the public benefits of preservation are maximized when history is reified through the modern-use of these places and objects as cultural resources for the current and future generations of the American people.

Full textAbstract:
This three-year PhD study looks at heritage performance in impact assessment (IA) practices, analysing the urban planning context and management experiences of selected urban World Heritage (WH) sites in the UK. The research develops recommendations for assessing the impact of plans, programmes and projects on heritage values in culturally significant urban areas with the emphasis on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of large-scale projects in an urban environment. The research analyses theoretical and empirical approaches to heritage management, investigates methodologies for heritage IA and explores opportunities for and barriers to improved heritage IA in the context of current UK policy. In particular, the research contributes with the conceptual framework of identification, interpretation and management of the cultural heritage in the urban planning system. The review of academic and other relevant literature helped to develop the conceptual framework. The data was collected by means of desk-based documents analysis, case studies, focus-group seminars and an on-line Questionnaire with the experts in the heritage and IA fields. The world’s most well-known and arguably most protected sites with officially identified Outstanding Universal Value – WH sites – provide general lessons for the heritage management and IA of new developments and infrastructure projects. The management of UK WH sites could be said to have the features of what is known as a values-based approach to conservation. This approach emphasises the identification of cultural heritage significance with the early participation of different stakeholders in the planning process; the latter has a scope for improvement in the UK context. Research on the boundaries of the heritage and IA fields leads to an improved understanding of cultural heritage and provides a framework for the IA process. The developed framework and the criteria for an enabling environment could be useful for achieving agreement between the different stakeholders, and could allow a smoother planning decision-making process, leading in turn to a reduced need for monitoring from international bodies. The results are useful for planners and developers in the context of western practice, and could also be relevant to the development of international guidelines.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to explore perceptions among 9th through 12th grade students from Brazil, Haiti and Jamaica, with respect to their heritage languages: Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and Jamaican Patois. An additional purpose was to understand in greater detail possible variations of perception with respect to heritage language maintenance (or loss) in relation to one’s gender, first language, and place of birth. The research implemented semi-structured interviews with male and female adolescents with these heritage language backgrounds. Participants’ responses were recorded and transcribed. The transcriptions were analyzed via a categorizing of themes emerging from the data.
Data were analyzed using inductive analysis. Three categories emerged from the inductive analysis of the data: (a) heritage language, (b) bilingualism, and (c) English as a second language. The analysis reveals that as participants learn English, they continue to value their heritage language and feel positively toward bilingualism, but differ in their preference regarding use of native language and English in a variety of contexts. There seems to be a mismatch between a positive attitude and an interest in learning their heritage language. Families and teachers, as agents, may not be helping students fully understand the advantages of bilingualism. Students seem to have a lack of understanding of bilingualism’s cognitive and bi-literacy benefits. Instead, employment seems to be perceived as the number one reason for becoming bilingual. Also, the students have a desire to add culture to the heritage language curriculum.
The study was conducted at one of the most diverse and largest high schools in Palm Beach, in Palm Beach County, Florida. The results of this study imply that given the positive attitude toward heritage language and bilingualism, students need to be guided in exploring their understanding of heritage language and bilingualism. Implications for teaching and learning, as well as recommendations for further research, are included.

Melvin, John D. S. "The family visitor experience at heritage attractions : value creation within a service environment." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/38000/.
Full textAbstract:
The world is becoming characterised by services. This evolution is transforming the way people consume services, with significant implications for both business and society (Ostrom, Bitner, Brown, Burkhard, Goul, Smith-Daniels, Demirkan and Rabinovich, 2010). The role of the consumer has also been transformed, with a much more active and integrated role envisaged (Grönroos, 2011; McColl-Kennedy, Vargo, Dagger, Sweeney and van Kasteren, 2012). The role of the organisation is now to facilitate consumer value creation through the design of the service system and appropriate provision of resources (Grönroos and Voima, 2013; Gummerus, 2013). Service-dominant logic (SDL), service logic (SL) and customer-dominant logic (CDL) have emerged, as marketing researchers attempt to better conceptualise the construct of value and how value is created. Recent definitions consider that value is a phenomenon relating to ‘value in use’ and ‘value in the experience’ (e.g. Heinonen and Strandvik, 2015; Helkkula, Kelleher and Pihlström, 2012b). One of the main impediments to advancing understanding and conceptual development of value creation is the relative lack of empirical research, with some recent notable exceptions (e.g. Echeverri and Skålén, 2011; McColl-Kennedy et al, 2012; Tynan, McKechnie and Hartley, 2014). In the hope of generating insight and understanding into the value creation process, there has been an increasing number of calls for research (e.g. Russell-Bennett and Baron, 2015; Fitzpatrick, Varey, Grönroos and Davey, 2015; Grönroos, 2011; Heinonen and Strandvik, 2015; McColl-Kennedy, Gustafsson, Jaakkola, Klaus, Radnor, Perks and Friman, 2015). In response to these calls, this exploratory study investigates value creation in the context of family visits to Edinburgh Castle, one of the most popular heritage visitor attractions in the UK. In-depth interviews with local families were conducted before and after a visit. These were complemented by visitor observations and interviews with managerial and frontline staff. Grounded theory methods were employed during data analysis. This study makes five important and timely contributions to the literature. The first is that understanding of the intricacies of the value creation process has been significantly enhanced. Rich insights were afforded into how families created and co-created value. Advancing beyond the simplistic customer-firm dyad, multiple interactive pathways within the complex service system from which value can emerge were identified. Illuminating examples of potential value being destroyed or remaining unrealised were observed, providing greater appreciation of the complexities inherent in value co-creation. Secondly, this thesis presents a matrix that depicts different approaches among the family members towards interaction within the service system. More detailed appreciation of how and why some consumers undertake ‘approach’ behaviours while others do not adds greatly to the understanding of consumer behaviour. By proposing that consumers are heavily influenced by their orientation to interacting with different aspects of the service system as well as their ability to access and utilise resources, this matrix offers a conceptual framework that can guide future research. Thirdly, ten different value-creating activities are identified within families’ cognitive, emotive and physical interactions undertaken during their visit. Fourthly, it endorses recent conceptualisations of the resource integration, which view value as emerging from both the resource integrative process as well as value as an outcome of this integration (Gummerus, 2013; Mohd-Any, Winklhofer and Ennew, 2014). Finally, it proposes an enhanced conceptual framework to better understand family behaviour in service settings. This builds on the family identity framework of Epp and Price (2008) and recent work by Schänzel, Yeoman and Backer (2012) that is finally addressing the dearth of research on families (Obrador, 2012; Small, 2008).

Full textAbstract:
This report asks the question how to balance thepreservation of cultural built heritage against other publicand private interests in local planning. The aim of the studyis to contribute to knowledge about how different actors valuethe built heritage and how they interact in planning. The studydiscusses how this knowledge can be taken into account inplanning practice. As society develops further into a knowledgesociety, the valuation of local environmental qualities seemsto be more complex than during previous decades. For thatreason the maintenance of cultural built heritage is moredifficult to handle than before. The planning process has bytradition been characterised by a strong public sectorinvolvement and by strict procedural links to the regulationsystem. However, private initiatives have come to play anincreasingly important role in the planning process. Thesechanges have led to a situation where decision-making becomesinformal. The question is if planning functions in such waythat all values represented by different interests areconsidered carefully when decisions are made for preservation,renewal or change of the builtenvironment. There are reasonsto question the notion of citizen representation by localpoliticians and experts of various kinds. The theoreticalfoundation for the study is economic valuation theory, andespecially environmental economics, in combination withnegotiation theory and planning theory. These theories are usedas a starting point for an analysis of different actorsunderstanding of the cultural built heritage, their incentivesfor participating in planning, and, hence, for understandingthe interaction which determines preservation practice.Empirical findings are based on a case study of planning andheritage management in the municipality of Umeå. Itincludes studies of five recently completed planning processesconcerning specific real estate properties, as well as, aquestionnaire directed to a random selection of 1000inhabitants in the municipality. The study concludes that theoutcome of planning to a substantial part is depending of theinteraction and relations between the stakeholders, and, hence,structured by what has developed as the intellectual traditionand context of the city. The study shows that the builtenvironment seen as a public good in general is not fullyacknowledged and understood. Consequently, the private goodcharacteristic of the built environment is stressed inplanning, not only by private actors, but also by the publicsector. Furthermore, the study concludes that one importantissue in the management of the cultural built heritage is todraw on the actorsincentives for preservation, hence,paying more attention to the question of future direct andindirect use of the built heritage. An actor who primarilyfocuses on existence value runs the risk of being situated inthe margin of planning, with no real influence on decisionsconcerning heritage management.

Full textAbstract:
Value and value co-creation have received increasing interest among service, marketing and tourism researchers in recent years. The Marketing Science Institute (MSI) has identified “delivering customer value” as a key priority research topic in its latest 2020-2022 research priorities. Understanding the tourist experience value co-creation process has strategic importance for destination managers. Previous studies in tourism have investigated value from an economic perspective and focused the impact of experience quality on value; less attention has been devoted to the study of tourist experience value from a multi-dimensional and co-creation perspective.
This research aims to examine how experience value is perceived and co-created by tourists at a heritage destination. This research draws upon the service-dominant logic paradigm to investigate the dimensions, antecedents, and consequences of experience value from the tourists’ perspective in Huangshan, China. Specifically, this thesis explores how to measure tourist experience value at the destination level, the role tourists and destination play in the value co-creation process, and how tourist experience value leads to subsequent outcomes on tourist evaluations.
This study applies a sequential mixed-methods approach consisting of two stages: qualitative and quantitative. The first stage of the study employs interviews with 50 tourists who have just completed a trip to the heritage destination, Huangshan. The qualitative phase is used to derive insights regarding the nature and dimensions of tourist experience value and also tourist co-production behaviour at a tourist destination. The second stage involves two stages of questionnaire data collection. A pilot study (N=183) and then the main survey (N=958), conducted to test the proposed model using structural equation modelling and mediation analyses.
This research provides several important findings. First, this research indicates that tourist experience value is a multi-dimensional construct with seven dimensions, namely aesthetic value, positive emotional value, restoration value, social relationship value, educational value, spiritual value, and economic value. Second, both tourist involvement and perceived competence significantly and positively influence tourist experience value. Additionally, destination quality also has a significant impact on tourist experience value. Third, tourist co-production is a multi-dimensional construct involving physical interaction and social interaction, which has a direct and positive effect on tourist experience value. Furthermore, tourist co-production has an important mediation effect in the value co-creation process. Fourth, tourist experience value has a positive and significant influence on tourist wellbeing and destination identity. In conclusion, from a service-dominant logic (S-D logic) perspective, tourist-owned resources, destination-owned resources, and tourist co-production play important roles in the tourist experience value co-creation process in the heritage destination.
The findings of this research make significant contributions to the body of knowledge about tourist experience, value co-creation, S-D logic, and heritage tourism. This research has developed a multidimensional scale of tourist experience value at the destination level, especially in a heritage destination context. In particular, this research extends the experience value literature by explicitly adding aesthetic, restorative, and spiritual value dimensions to the measurement scale. This research also extends the traditional “quality-value-satisfaction” model by adding tourist owned resources and tourist co-production into the model, providing a more holistic and theoretically founded framework to better understand the tourist experience value co-creation process. The research not only enriches the knowledge of heritage experience research, but also lends empirical support to the proposition that customers are important co-creators of value in the S-D logic.
Practically, this research can help heritage destination marketing organizations and the tourism industry to acquire an in-depth understanding of the tourist experience value co-creation process. More specifically, the measurement scale of tourist experience value identified in this study can be used as a benchmark to better meet the needs of tourists. In addition, this research provides destination managers with knowledge in terms of the factors that influence tourist experience value. Heritage destination managers should be aware of the important role of tourists in co-creating value, including their involvement, perceived competence, and also co-production behaviours during the trip. The heritage destination should shift the value creation perspectives from creating value for tourists to creating value with tourists. In summary, this research helps destination managers to better design destination marketing and management strategies to improve competitiveness.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Stigma has been seen as a barrier to the adaptation and reuse of buildings and for historic former asylums, the fear of the "madhouse" has been argued to have transferred to the buildings themselves. They are buildings which are both socially and historically challenging. However, as these sites have closed and have begun to be converted into residential accommodation, the negative perceptions of the asylum appear to have eased, to be replaced by an appreciation of their built form through their architectural and heritage features. Research into the reuse of historic former asylum sites is limited, as is research exploring the subjective or emotional influences on property development decisions. This research addressed this gap by investigating the phenomenon of reuse of historic former asylums. It did so through the examination of the intersecting factors involved in that process; the perceptions of the stakeholders in respect of place attachments, stigmas, and values ascribed to the sites. It also investigated the perceptions that stakeholders had of themselves, each other and the re-development process. Three historic former asylums in the North of England were identified to provide context to this research: St Mary's in Stannington, Northumberland, St George's in Morpeth, Northumberland and Lancaster Moor Hospital in Lancaster. Within the context of each of these sites, interviews were carried out with the different stakeholder groups involved in the redevelopment of these sites. These stakeholders were planners, developers, heritage bodies, former staff members and the owners of the sites. The public was also surveyed in Morpeth and Lancaster through questionnaires, as were new residents of converted former asylum sites. Through the analysis from this data collection, it was found that an acceptable level of stigma surrounding these sites persisted; any stigma that remained did not prevent the reuse and redevelopments from taking place. The buildings were viewed as heritage buildings but predominantly from an age or aesthetical value perspective rather than being valued for their specific history. However, this history was not simply forgotten or erased, it was often incorporated or used in subtle ways within the developments, the level to which depended on the individual developer and site concerned. This research brought together two areas of research in the built environment which are not often combined: heritage and real estate. The examination of the reuse of historic former asylum sites showed more fully the valorisation process of a historic iii building through the redevelopment and reuse process. In doing so, it highlighted that the reuse and redevelopment process of historic former asylum sites was a complex one. The valorisation of the sites through their age and aesthetics was connected to their perceived economic value which enabled the sites to be converted by developers; as the sites become reappraised as heritage and therefore valued as such, this consequently created a perception of economic value and therefore a demand for the properties. This research project also highlighted that as well as a perception of value, people were attached to these sites, including some of the professional stakeholders involved in the development process. Former staff members were strongly attached due to the length of time they had spent working and living on the sites. Some of the development professionals also expressed attachment or a sense of responsibility for sites that they worked on. This was an unexpected finding as they only worked on the sites for a relatively short time and were seen by themselves, as professionals, to be objective in their working lives. This revealed an interesting juxtaposition in that the professionals felt that they were objective experts in the process, unhindered by the emotions those non-development stakeholders were thought to feel. In fact, many of those non-development stakeholders held pragmatic views about the need for something to happen with the empty sites, something not anticipated by the development stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of community participation in values-based Cultural Heritage Management (CHM) has taken on a currency that increasingly raises the expectation for reconciling the gap between the values of heritage professionals and the local communities and empowering the latter in decision-making processes. The World Heritage Site of Mount Athos in Greece offers an excellent opportunity for a case study-based research that critically reflects on the complex processes that create tensions among stakeholders and allows for a discussion of the application and improvement of existing CHM decision-making models – particularly for places of living heritage value. Drawing on a variety of methodologies and sources this thesis explores the issues raised by the concept of heritage and the practice of CHM at a living religious heritage place of recognised international significance. More specifically local problems and solutions that are widely relevant to the international heritage discourse are investigated in three key areas of CHM: the legislative and administrative frameworks; the tension created by the conservation process with regard tangible and intangible perceptions of heritage; the display and accessibility of collections in the light of the perceived threats of overt museumification and touristification. Particular emphasis is placed on the subsequent decision-making conflicts between various stakeholders. Consequently the strengths and weaknesses of an international model for values-based CHM (Australia ICOMOS Burra Charter) and of an Australian model for engaging local communities (the ‘Ask First: A guide to respecting Indigenous heritage places and values’) are critically examined along with certain project management principles (namely the “Gateway Review Process”). The resulting analysis leads to a suggested planning process model for Athonite CHM which has wider implications for the management of living religious heritage and merits careful consideration for the achievement of wider stakeholder participation and active local community involvement in decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation responds to the problem that intervention on historical architecture generally represents a loss of value to the existing building and new programme. It investigates the relationship between the alteration of historical architecture and the introduction of new intervention which reflects current users, time and programme through cultural production. Historical architecture is static and rejects the notion of change. Interior design opts to alter the existing to ensure new inhabitation in changing times. Cultural production is the process by which products are designed to relate intrinsically to their user group culture and identity. The study links all three factors through the design of the People’s Upliftment Programme skills training centre in Salvokop (2011 POPUP), in a building which was constructed in 1909 as the chief engineer’s office (1909 CEO) for Pretoria’s railway line. The project seeks to identify a balance between retaining the identity and character of the existing (“historical ideal”), and explicitly reflecting the energy of the skills learners and skills training programmes which have subsequently occupied the building.Dissertation (MInt(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
In the 21st century, increasing demand for energy stimulated by high rates of economic development has pushed China to increase imports, leaving the country highly dependent on foreign energy sources. China’s energy security is therefore under threat from the constant risk of supply falling short of demand. Historically, various approaches have been proposed to attempt to resolve or, at least relieve, this security issue but those discussions focus on either competition or cooperation. The combined approach, co-opetition has been applied in business and this research has attempted to combine these two approaches when dealing with energy security issues, thus the original contribution of this research is to take a unique approach, combining the co-opetition approach with the added benefits of a traditional Chinese philosophy known as ‘Hehe culture’. In addition, the ‘Chinese characteristics’inherent in the energy security strategy, advocated by the Chinese government, has contributed a specific viewpoint in the academic field. Moreover, this research employs the PARTS model from game theory, an analytical tool originally applied in the field of business and economics, to build a framework for evaluating Chinese co-opetition in energy relations. Three case studies of China’s energy co-opetition with Japan, Russia and Africa are analysed according to the framework, revealing how co-opetition affects China’s energy security. The findings of this research include the prerequisites for successful co-opetition, and the value and function of incorporating Hehe culture into co-opetition. The research identifies the impact of thesen prerequisites on the strategic value of co-opetition, generating a new model for Chinese energy security, which will allow for accurate determination of the best approach to the game of energy co-opetition with different players.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MAThe mini-thesis will examine the conservation of colonial historic buildings at Old Umtali (today Mutare) in Zimbabwe and the changes that have affected the buildings in terms of use and maintenance of their architectural character. There has been a shift in heritage management priorities in Zimbabwe and all heritage linked to colonialism has been supplanted by archaeological and liberation war heritage. The result is that the category of colonial heritage which includes historic buildings, forts and memorials have been neglected and vandalised. Various international frameworks in the conservation of buildings will be referred to in this research in examining related questions of urban heritage management. The dichotomy that exists between conservation and adaptive reuse of historic buildings as these issues have unfolded at Old Umtali, a former colonial town with historic buildings constructed in 1891 will be at the centre of this interrogation. Notwithstanding the changes in heritage management priorities in Zimbabwe, the irony is that heritage practitioners are still obliged to conserve historic buildings by legislation. This work then attempts to place back the question of conserving historic buildings on the conservation agenda for a post-colonial Zimbabwe. I argue that historic buildings should be conserved and used for different contemporary purposes and at the same time becoming the subject of interpretative work. Questions can then be asked about the experience of colonialism and the various movements of the Pioneer Column in Zimbabwe using the case study of Old Umtali. In this thesis conservation of historic buildings is not just a technical question but is also seen as an intellectual, epistemological and political question.

Full textAbstract:
In Sweden, as well as in Europe, buildings are estimated to consume 40 % of the total energyuse. Moreover, one third of the European building stock consists of buildings with some sort ofdistinguable cultural or historic significance, and it follows logically that a considerablepercentage of Sweden’s and Europe’s total energy is consumed by this category of buildings –historic buildings. Especially when considering that historic buildings typically have inferiorenergy performance than other buildings. The challenge to improve the energy performance inhistoric buildings while also taking heritage values into consideration is undertaken within thescope of this master’s thesis. The European standard “Conservation of cultural heritage –Guidelines for improving the energy performance of historic buildings” (SS-EN 16883:2017) ispartially applied to a case-building in order to approach the challenge methodically.The energy performance of a building and proposed refurbishment measures is evaluatedthrough the use of computer-generated building energy models. Three different scenarios withsets of refurbishment measures have been simulated; (1) light impact, (2) moderate impact and(3) heavy impact on heritage values. Categorization of the refurbishment measures have beenaccomplished by using an objectivistic approach based on contemporary conservation theoriesand definitions. The theoretical framework is primarily based on conservation practices laid outby the Burra Charter.The light refurbishment package would reduce the heating energy use by almost 11 % whilehaving little to no impact on the building’s heritage values. The moderate package would reducethe heating energy use by 34,5 % without having a major impact on the building’s heritagevalues. The most invasive refurbishment package would, the heavy refurbishment package,would reduce the heating energy use by almost 40 %. This significant energy use reductionwould not come without its drawbacks. This package of measures would infact alter some of theexpressed character defining elements of the building.Improving the energy efficiency of built heritage is a challenge, especially when trying toassess the impact it might have on its heritage values. This master’s thesis can provide someinsight into the act of balancing energy improvement measures and cultural heritage valuesagainst one another, especially for buildings that lack formal protection in the form of legislativedirectives or policies.I Sverige, såsom i övriga Europa, uppskattas byggnader stå för 40 % av den totalaenergianvändningen. En tredjedel av europeiska byggnader har någon form av kulturell ellerhistorisk betydelse. Detta tyder på att en betydelsefull andel av Sveriges och Europas totala energiförbrukas av denna kategori byggnader – historiska byggnader. I synnerhet när hänsyn tas till atthistoriska byggnader i allmänhet påvisar sämre energiprestanda än andra byggnader. Utmaningenatt förbättra energiprestandan i historiska byggnader samtidigt som man respekterar och beaktarkulturvärden behandlas inom ramen för detta examensarbete. Den europeiska standarden"Bevarande av kulturarv - Riktlinjer för förbättring av energiprestandan i historiska byggnader"(SS-EN 16883: 2017) tillämpas delvis på en byggnad för att på ett metodiskt tillvägagångssättangripa utmaningen.Byggnadens energiprestanda och föreslagna renoveringsåtgärder utvärderas genomanvändning och analys av datorgenererade energimodeller. Tre scenarier, bestående av olikarenoveringsåtgärder med varierande påverkan av kulturvärdena har simulerats; (1) lätt påverkan,(2) måttlig påverkan och (3) stor påverkan av kulturvärden. Kategoriseringen avrenoveringsåtgärderna har uppnåtts genom att använda ett objektivistiskt tillvägagångssätt baseratpå rådande definitioner och kunskap från byggnadsmiljövården. Den teoretiska referensramen ärhuvudsakligen baserad på bevarandepraxis som fastställts i Burra-stadgan.Renoveringspaketet med ”lätt påverkan” skulle minska användningen av värmeenergi mednästintill 11 % samtidigt som åtgärden har liten eller ingen betydande inverkan på byggnadenskulturvärden. Det ”måttliga paketet” skulle kunna minska användningen av värmeenergi med34,5 % utan att ha en alltför stor inverkan på byggnadens kulturvärden. Det mest omfattanderenoveringspaketet som innebär ”stor påverkan” skulle kunna minska användningen avvärmeenergi med nästan 40 %. Denna betydande förbättring kommer inte utan tillhörandenackdelar. Detta paket av åtgärder kan potentiellt skada eller förändra karaktären hos byggnaden.Karaktärsdrag som uttryckligen bedömts vara värda att bevara.Att förbättra energieffektiviteten hos kulturhistorisk bebyggelse är en utmaning, särskilt närman försöker bedöma vilken påverkan eventuella åtgärder kan ha på ovärderliga kulturvärden.Detta examensarbete kan ge viss insikt i hur man kan balansera energibesparingsåtgärder ochkulturvärden mot varandra, särskilt för byggnader som saknar särskilt uttryckta skyddsåtgärder iform av byggnadsminnesförklaring, lagstiftning eller politiska ställningstaganden.

Full textAbstract:
This work primarily examines the management of wet-preserved archaeological sites in England, through an exploration of value and analysis of current management approaches. The aim is to explore whether the current policy frameworks, in particular the role of preservation in situ, can provide a sustainable future for wet-preserved archaeological sites. This work further seeks to conceptualise the modelling of sustainability, preservation and management decision making in wetland archaeological sites. Looking at the last 40 year of wetland research through the work of the large-scale wetland survey projects, this work initially considers the current understanding of wet archaeological sites in England. It also examines aspects of heritage management through the legislative and policy frameworks and their legacy. This work considers the implications that legislative and policy positions have for the management of wetland archaeological sites and examines the theoretical concepts that underpin them. This includes exploring reflective management, the development of research frameworks, and scoring mechanisms for the designation of sites. It also looks at broader constructs of value through the concepts of cultural and economic values. Three existing archaeological sites, a ringwork at Borough Fen near Peterborough, a marsh fort at Sutton Common near Doncaster and a triple post-alignment near Beccles, will be presented as case studies. These sites serve as examples of how the management of sites has been approached. The results of the case study analysis are used to develop a series of conceptual models looking firstly at sustainability and preservation in situ, and, secondly at preservation, value and decision making. The study concludes that the presumption in favour of preservation in situ can be challenging for wet preserved archaeological sites. Deterioration of the preservation environment can in some cases produce a similar decline in significance. Preservation in situ may therefore not be the most appropriate option for archaeological sites in wetlands.

Esta tese intitulada como “As ferrovias como Patrimônio Cultural Mundial: Os Estados-parte, a UNESCO e o Valor Universal Excepcional” apresenta como principal objetivo investigar a atribuição do valor universal excepcional “outstanding universal value” (OUV) às ferrovias inscritas na Lista do Patrimônio Mundial, através da análise destinada a identificar os critérios e requisitos necessários para o seu reconhecimento. Assim sendo, apresenta-se dividida em 03 etapas: a primeira corresponde ao eixo teórico da pesquisa, onde são abordados o entendimento do patrimônio ferroviário e do valor universal excepcional. Para tanto, são apresentados, em um primeiro momento, um panorama geral sobre as ferrovias, as discussões sobre a preservação do patrimônio ferroviário no contexto mundial, e a percepção do patrimônio ferroviário no âmbito da UNESCO. A seguinte abordagem teórica centra-se na compreensão do valor à luz da Teoria dos Valores (Axiologia dos Valores) e da Teoria da Conservação. O segundo eixo da pesquisa refere-se aos aspectos metodológicos adotados para a investigação da atribuição do valor universal excepcional às ferrovias mundiais. Desta forma, são selecionados 03 (três) estudos de caso, para a consecução do objetivo central desta tese: a ferrovia Semmering, na Áustria; a Ferrovia Darjeeling, na Índia; e a Ferrovia Rhaetian, que corta os países da Suíça e Itália. O método selecionado para a análise das aludidas ferrovias é a Análise de Contéudo, de Bardin, aplicado no corpus documental, composto pelos Documentos de Avaliação do Corpo Consultivo de cada ferrovia analisada. A tese utiliza como premissa de que a partir da identificação dos atributos das ferrovias é possível interpretar os valores que, de forma inter-relacionada, conformam a categoria do valor universal excepcional das ferrovias mundiais. Desta forma, a partir da análise realizada em cada uma das ferrovias selecionadas, foi possível inferir que o seu valor universal excepcional é composto por uma pluralidade de valores dinâmicos e interdependentes, que se relacionam de forma a ressaltar uma ordem e uma hierarquia, onde os valores de maior destaque são o que mais importam preservar, por justificarem o reconhecimento das ferrovias como patrimônio cultural mundial.
The dissertation "The railways as a World Cultural Heritage: States Parties, UNESCO and the Outstanding Universal Value" has aims at investigating the attribution of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) to railways included on the World Heritage List, through the identification of criteria and requirements for recognition. The research focuses on 03 stages. The first stage is the theoretical framework of the research, aiming at approaching the theoretical problem: an understanding of the railway heritage and of outstanding universal value. Accordingly, there follow an overview of the railways, discussions on the preservation of the railway heritage in the global context, and in the UNESCO context. The second theoretical approach corresponds to the understanding of the value to the Theory of Values (Axiology of Values) and Conservation Theory. The second approach focused on the investigation of the empirical problem: the attribution of outstanding universal value. In this way, three (03) case studies to achieve the central objective of this thesis are highlighted: The Semmering Railway, Austria; the Railway Darjeeling, India; and the Rhaetian Railway, which crosses Switzerland and Italy. The method used for the analysis of that railway is Bardin`s Content Analysis, applied to the documentation corpus, consisting of the Advisory Body Assessment Document of each analyzed railroad. The dissertation is based on the premise that from the railways attributes of identification it is possible to interpret the values that make up the outstanding universal value of the world's railways. Thus, the empirical axis of research, analysis of each of the selected railways performed, leadin to infer that the outstanding universal value of the global railway is composed of a plurality of values dynamic and interdependent and that there is a hierarchy in its relations, point out an order, where the most outstanding values are what should be preserved, as justified by the recognition of the railways as a cultural world.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates States Parties' implementation of the 1972 UNESCO Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Its objectives are two-fold. The first of these is the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the evolution of the values for which cultural heritage sites have been nominated for World Heritage status in relation to the decisions of the World Heritage Committee across different categories of cultural heritage. The second objective is the examination of States Parties' representations of the past and the nation, of human and cultural diversity, of economic value, and of authenticity and conservation by means of an evaluation of sampled nomination dossiers of cultural heritage sites for inclusion on the World Heritage List. The thesis methodology is based on intensive archival work of UNESCO documents as well as value-led analyses of one hundred and six purposefully sampled nomination dossiers. ATLAS. ti, a Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software program, was used for the quantitative and qualitative analyses and interpretation of the sampled data set. The end result has been to identify how States Parties have understood the notion of outstanding universal value which is the key and central concept of the World Heritage Convention. It has also been to highlight the problems in States Parties' implementation of the World Heritage Convention and in the requested format of nomination dossiers. This has led to practical changes to official discourses on World Heritage and suggestions for procedural improvements. These changes and suggestions should help States Parties to identify better the values for which sites are being nominated for World Heritage status and improve their long-term conservation and management.

Full textAbstract:
This essay attempts to discover a correlation between a perceived veneration of an inherent value of the cultural heritage which is enlightened in the face of the iconoclastic acts of IS (Islamic State). Firstly, the essay establishes how UNESCO could be perceived as a Social System which educates its central binary codes through communication. The codes central to the System are cultural preservation and cultural destruction. Through examining the official documents of the System and analysing their content through Content Analysis, the essay delineates how an inherent value is manifested in cultural heritage. Further it examines whether the System is successful in communicating and implementing its positive binary code into its surrounding environment. The conclusions are that the System aspires to connect what it deems an “outstanding universal value” with an inherent value of democratic human rights. It is also concluded that the System is successful in implementing its positive core binary code into its environment. However, there are indications that this efficiency could dramatically decrease in the future, thereby rendering the System’s value as an ideological standpoint less valuable in the face of theologically motivated iconoclasms.

Full textAbstract:
Values-based approaches to. heritage management are generally considered to be more effective than the traditional approaches for managing complex heritage res~urce issues. Urban built environment is a testament of change and transformation may be more radical in colonial urban built environments which are symbolic landscapes representing the period of colonialism. Urban conservation is influenced by the underlying contexts. It also operates at various spatial scales; city, area and even individual buildings and involves large numbers of actors. The planning and decision-making process is therefore complex, difficult and problematic. Further the existing methods may be generally ineffective in engaging with real life contexts, complex stakeholder interactions and project uncertainties. Building on this conceptual framework, this thesis developed a novel Value-Based Approach (VBA) which can guide urban conservation decision-making. Believing that sound conceptual work requires interplay of theory and practice this thesis has tested the new VBA in project' evaluation. The two study areas, New Delhi (British planned colonial city) and Pondicherry (capital of French India)provided the thesis an opportunity to evaluate the VBA in a cross-cultural perspective. The methodological design for project evaluation in this thesis involved explorative research related to the case studies of Gole Market(Delhi) and Bharati Park (Pondicherry), developing value assessment methodologies and integrating stakeholder analysis tools in heritage management. The research findings confirm the main assumption that urban conservation decisions are governed by contexts and urban heritage is a highly contentious terrain which involves multiple stakeholders. The project evaluations reveal that the main issues related to current practice is the failure on part of the practitioners to respond to these complexities related to urban heritage. In future, practitioners should therefore approach urban conservation with a more explorative or constructivist philosophy which involves integrated value assessment and stakeholder participatory action and dialective decision making process

Full textAbstract:
Assessing social value in cultural heritage places: a case study of tourism gentrification in Thailand in its regional context Abstract Cultural Heritage Places are rarely appraised in order to understand the life of the host community, and especially its own cultural and social values. This research aimed to establish how this knowledge is obtained by conceptualising the 'cultural value' in urban conservation and analysing current approaches to cultural heritage management and tourism development in Thailand in its regional context. It particularly includes the identification of social impact variables of tourism gentrification and the application of cultural value assessment in urban conservation and tourism management policies. The issue was analysed in two stages using a qualitative research approach and a case study method. The first stage aimed to interpret the conservation and tourism context through secondary data of historic quarters in the broader regional context of 'Indochina', The second used primary data from the fieldwork research, by means of observations and interviews from three historic waterfront marketplaces in the central Thailand, which were analysed under three main themes: the tangible elements and temporal meanings of space; communication and the intangible elements of space; and the aspects of place and identity that include distinctiveness, continuity, self-esteem and self-efficacy. There are four main conclusions. First, the cultural values are spontaneously changed with the inhabitants' place valuation th~t is definednot so much by the tangible physical aspects but rather by the behaviour and cognitive aspects of communication (i.e. socio- economic, sociocultural and spiritual dimensions, and self-identification with place). Second, the current regional approaches have partially shifted towards the rural and common people's heritage of the recent past, however with a major element of tourism gentrification, patronisation and neglect of the social values of the host community. Third, the case study analysis revealed the loss of diversity in socioeconomic activities, a decreasing degree of social coherence, and the distortion of the traditional meanings and the miscommunication of distance and time on the hierarchy and ritual of space. Fourth, when considering the sense of place in tourism planning, urban conservation and heritage management, emphasis should be placed on the observation of the everyday behaviour of the host community and the cognitive aspects of communication (of distance and time) on space and self-identity as connected with the place.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi si focalizza sul processo di formazione urbana della città vietnamita di Hue. Le attività della dinastia Nguyen (1802-1883) e la successiva invasione coloniale da parte dei francesi (1884-1845), crearono una città unica in Vietnam. In questo contesto, Hue Citadel è ancora oggi un esempio rilevante di pianificazione urbana in favore di uno lo sviluppo sostenibile. Fu costruito nel 1803, con un'insolita combinazione di elementi umani e naturali, con elementi architettonici tratti sia dalla tradizione militare occidentale, sia dalla filosofia orientale che dall'architettura tradizionale vietnamita. La Cittadella esterna seguiva il modello di fortificazione di Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, mentre i due bastioni interni - la Città Imperiale e la Città Proibita - erano costruiti secondo tipologie già presenti nell'antica architettura orientale. Il modello di fortificazione di Vauban si è unito armoniosamente ai principi del Feng Shui, armonizzandosi con gli elementi naturali (la montagna, l'acqua, la topografia del sito) e creando l'identità della città ecologica e storica. Inoltre, il processo di espansione urbana da parte dei francesi è stato rispettoso dell'identità architettonica locale e ha fornito un modello di sviluppo in armonia con ila popolazione locale e il clima tropicale.
Negli ultimi decenni, Hue City ha subito i principali cambiamenti dovuti agli effetti dell'urbanizzazione, quali l'aumento della popolazione, i consumo di suolo, l'inquinamento ambientale, le inondazioni, causando pesanti alterazioni dei caratteri tradizionali del paesaggio e il danneggiamento del patrimonio architettonico. L'urbanizzazione e l'espansione urbana recente non hanno saputo comprendere le qualità della città storica, anche grazie al fatto che sia le moderne tecnologie, sia le idee urbanistica della prima metà del XX secolo tendono a ignorare l'identità locale dei luoghi. È molto importante capire il vero significato della forma urbana e i suoi valori storici. L'agenda per la salvaguardia di un modello sostenibile è orientata verso la metodologia del Feng Shui, che identifica la struttura urbana e i caratteri del paesaggio. Allo stesso modo, la teoria della città giardino è suggerita da un modello di chiara gerarchia e cooperazione tra il centro e la struttura urbana satellite. Dal 1993, il complesso dei Monumenti di Hue è stato iscritto nella Lista del Patrimonio Mondiale dall'UNESCO.Process of Hue urban formation, in the periods of the Nguyen feudal Dynasty during 1802-1883 and colonial invasion by the French during 1884-1845, created a unique city in Vietnam. In this context, Hue Citadel is a relevant example of urban planning for sustainable development. It was built in 1803, as an unusual combination of human and nature, the East-West architecture, i.e. the principles of Western military architecture meeting the ideology of Eastern philosophy and Vietnamese traditional architecture. The outer Citadel followed the fortification model of Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, while the two inner ramparts - the Imperial City and the Forbidden City - were built according to the type of the ancient oriental architecture. The fortification model of Vauban type harmoniously united with Feng Shui principle, applied local natural elements such as mountain, water, topography to form the identities of ecological and historical city. Besides, the process of urban expansion by the French was respectful of the local architectural identity, and provided a model of development in harmony with local characters and the tropical climate. In the last decades, Hue City has experienced major changes by the impacts of urbanization such as the increase in population, land encroachment, environmental pollution, flood, causing heavy alteration of the traditional landscape characters, and damaging of the heritages. The urbanization and expansion of urban planning have not totally evaluated the urban qualities, modern technologies and ideas in the late 20th century tend to ignore the identity of local place. It is very important to understand the true meaning of the urban form and the historical values. The agenda for the preservation of a sustainable model is oriented towards the Feng Shui methodology, which will identify the urban structure and the characters of the landscape. In the same way, the theory of the garden city is suggested a model of clear hierarchy and cooperation between the centre and the satellite urban structure. Since 1993, the complex of Hue Monuments has been written on the List of World Heritage by UNESCO.

La ricerca dell'autenticità negli studi sul turismo è stata una delle questioni più interessanti e controverse per molti studiosi di diverse discipline. A partire dalla diffusione del turismo di massa, nei primi anni 60, passando per le trasformazioni del turismo avvenute nel corso degli ultimi decenni e gli importanti cambiamenti che hanno caratterizzato il mondo contemporaneo, l'attenzione per ciò che è autentico per il turista è stata oggetto di grande attenzione. Gli studi si sono sviluppati al fine di comprendere il comportamento dei turisti, le motivazioni dietro le loro scelte, e la relazione tra turisti e loro esperienze di viaggio.
Il discorso sociologico sull'autenticità è stato iniziato da Dean MacCannell all'interno di un quadro più ampio riguardante il rapporto tra turismo e modernità, ma negli anni è diventato più sofisticato con l’adozione di chiavi di lettura differenti: l'esperienza dell’autenticità e l'autenticità di un luogo, l'autenticità della conoscenza e l'autenticità delle sensazioni. Il discorso sull'autenticità è sempre stato strettamente legato alla dimensione della cultura, dell'incontro delle culture, dello scambio culturale e del rispetto della diversità. Inoltre, l'autenticità è diventata una qualità, e la sua espressione, artificiosa o naturale, continua ad essere un discorso aperto, che riguarda, tra gli altri, la sostenibilità e il turismo sostenibile.
Recentemente la sostenibilità è emersa come un obiettivo primario nel processo decisionale relativo al turismo. Gli attori del settore turistico, compresi i turisti e le comunità locali, sono ora molto più consapevoli dell'importanza della sostenibilità nel turismo rispetto al passato. Varie istituzioni, tra cui l'UNWTO, hanno dichiarato che il turismo deve diventare uno strumento efficace per lo sviluppo sostenibile per il raggiungimento degli SDGs.
Così, diventa cruciale chiarire come il concetto di autenticità, che ancora rappresenta una spinta significativa nelle scelte turistiche, si stia trasformando e stia penetrando nelle definizioni e pratiche del turismo sostenibile, con implicazioni tanto per le comunità ospitanti, quanto per i turisti e per l'industria del turismo.
Partendo da una ricerca bibliografica e dall'analisi delle convergenze tra i due termini, l'obiettivo dello studio è quello di guardare, oggi, all'autenticità e alla sua ricerca attraverso le lenti della sostenibilità, con un focus sulle implicazioni per le comunità ospitanti e per l'industria del turismo.
Prendendo in considerazione gli obiettivi della ricerca la sfida è stata quella di scegliere un metodo che permettesse di raccogliere le riflessioni degli esperti sull’oggetto di studio. Inoltr, la particolare situazione dovuta all'epidemia ha compromesso la possibilità di pianificare una ricerca sul campo e di spostarsi da un paese all'altro per raccogliere opinioni attraverso metodologie qualitative che richiedono una profonda interrelazione con i partecipanti allo studio.
Come risultato di questa situazione, in relazione all'obiettivo della ricerca e ai fattori esogeni, è stata identificata una metodologia qualitativa appropriata, il metodo Delphi.
La ricerca Delphi ha inteso esplorare la relazione tra autenticità e sostenibilità negli studi sul turismo; fornire gli elementi per osservare e delineare il concetto di autenticità attraverso la lente della sostenibilità; indagare se la ricerca di autenticità favorisce o impatta negativamente sulla sostenibilità; e guardare alle implicazioni per gli attori del turismo.
Alla fine, si propone un'interpretazione di questa relazione che guarda alla ricerca di autenticità come una ricerca di sostenibilità, valorizzando il ruolo del turismo verso il raggiungimento degli obiettivi di sostenibilità e verso pratiche per lo sviluppo sostenibile.The quest for authenticity in tourism studies has been on of the most interesting and controversial issue for many scholars from different disciplines. Starting from the diffusion of mass tourism, in the early 60s, passing through tourism transformations that occurred over the decades, alongside the important changes that have characterized the contemporary world, the attention for what is authentic for tourist has been highly investigated. This attention was taken in order to understand the behaviours of tourists, the motivational forces behind their choices and the relation between tourists and their travel experiences. The sociological discourse of authenticity was initiated by Dean MacCannell within a broader framework regarding the relationship between tourism and modernity but over the years became more sophisticated with the introduction of some distinctions: the experience of authenticity and the authenticity of a place, the authenticity of knowledge and the authenticity of feeling. The discourse on authenticity has always been strictly connected with the dimension of culture, meeting cultures, cultural exchange and respect of diversity. Moreover, authenticity became a quality, and its expression, contrived or natural, continues to be an open discourse, that concerns, among others, sustainability and sustainable tourism. Recently sustainability has emerged as a primary goal in tourism-related decision-making. Stakeholders in the tourism sector, including tourists and host communities, are now considerably more aware of the importance of sustainability in tourism than they were in the past. Institutions, as UNWTO, have declared that tourism has to become an effective tool for sustainable development for SDGs achievement. Thus, it becomes crucial to clarify how the concept of authenticity, which is still a significant drive in tourism, is being transformed and is penetrating in sustainable tourism definitions and practices, both for hosts, for tourists, and for tourism industry. Starting from this literature review and the analysis of the convergences among the two terms, the aim of the research is to look, nowadays, at authenticity and its quest with the lens of sustainability, with a focus on the implications both for host community and tourism industry. Taking into consideration the objectives of the research and given the opportunity to apply a qualitative methodology, the challenge has been to choose a method that allows us to bring together the reflections of experts on the topic of the research. Beyond this, the peculiar situation due the pandemic outbreak has compromised the opportunity to plan a field research and to move from one country to another in order to gather opinions by means of qualitative methodologies that need a deep interrelation with the participants of the study. As a result of this situation, in relation to the aim of the research and of exogenous factors, an appropriate qualitative methodology has been identified, the Delphi method. The Delphi research has intended to explore the relation between authenticity and sustainability in tourism studies; to provide the elements to observe and outline the concept of authenticity through the lens of sustainability; to investigate if the quest for authenticity contribute or detract from sustainability; and the implications for tourism actors. Finally it is proposed an interpretation of this relationship that looks at the quest for authenticity as a quest for sustainability, enhancing the role of tourism towards the achievement of sustainable objectives and sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
Shanghai est une ville unique qui a joué un rôle très important dans le mouvement d’urbanisation et d’industrialisation en Chine. Shanghai a toujours été à une intersection multiculturelle. Ses conditions géographiques, financières et de transport a favorisé une dynamique d’investissement et la modernisation industrielle. Dans le même temps, le développement de l'industrie a accéléré l’urbanisation de Shanghai. Dans ce processus, le patrimoine industriel de la ville a contribué à structuré les espaces en livrant des surfaces de revitalisation notamment le long d’une ligne qui longe la rivière Huangpu. Ces différents héritages (surfaces, usines, bâtiments…) ont joué un rôle clé dans l’activité industrielle de Shanghai et son urbanisation contemporaine. La protection et la réutilisation du patrimoine ont toujours été des sujets importants dans le développement urbain et font pleinement partie du renouveau de la ville. A ce titre Shanghai est certainement une ville archétype pour étudier certaines formes de patrimonialisation en Chine.Avec un déclin de certaines industries traditionnelles, les anciens bâtiments et les zones de friches industrielles deviennent une partie inévitable de l'ensemble du processus de re-planification urbaine. Le succès ou l'échec de ces réhabilitations dépend de l'environnement direct lié à l’urbanisme et des orientations du développement économique. Il ne fait aucun doute que le patrimoine « moderne » de Shanghai joue un rôle crucial dans le positionnement urbain de Shanghai. Le potentiel de conversion du patrimoine industriel s’avère d’une exceptionnelle qualité et son étude reste fondamentale quant à la compréhension d’une ville créative.Cette thèse part d’un cadre théorique combiné avec les tendances et le statut de la protection du patrimoine industriel en Chine. Les lois et règlements en vigueur à Shanghai concernant la protection du patrimoine industriel et des bâtiments industriels sont présentés. Les notions de « patrimoine industriel », de « patrimoine bâti industriel » et de « régénération urbaine » sont clairement définies. Le travail analyse six cas concrets de réhabilitation pour appréhender une stratégie d’extraction des valeurs patrimoniales. La protection du patrimoine industriel à Shanghai est évaluée du point de vue de la continuité, de l'intégrité et de l'authenticité. Enfin la thèse aborde les composantes et les modes de protection de la valeur technologique du patrimoine industriel. Il met en évidence la motivation pour combiner le patrimoine industriel et les industries culturelles et créatives au regard de la politique de la ville, du marché et des espaces. Tout cela agit sur le mécanisme de transformation de la valeur patrimoniale.Cette thèse a aussi pour objectif de présenter l'histoire du développement de ces entreprises créatives bien connues à Shanghai, d'analyser les facteurs contribuant à leur transformation. Bien qu'au sens strict du terme, ils n'appartiennent plus vraiment à la catégorie du « patrimoine industriel », ces nouveaux lieux feront-ils l’objet d’une seconde patrimonialisation ? Leur transformation et leur rénovation font également partie de l'histoire et devront être entièrement documentés. Si l'histoire humaine de la civilisation industrielle est un livre épais, la signification de cette étude est d'ajouter plus de contenu à ce livre pour les générations futuresShanghai is a unique city that has played an important and surprising role in the development of modern Chinese cities and industries. Shanghai has always stood at a multicultural intersection. Its geographical, financial and transportation conditions provide a favorable environment for modern industrial development. At the same time, the development of modern industry accelerated the modernization of Shanghai's urban development. In this process, Shanghai's modern industrial heritage has formed a mix of lines and surfaces. Surfaces refer to the modern concession area dominated by the old public concession area. Lines refer to the industrial heritage belt running along Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek. This modern heritage played a key role in Shanghai’s transformation and its establishment as a modern industrial center. Shanghai is thus the most typical city for studying modern Chinese industrial sites.Heritage protection and reuse have always been important subjects in urban development and renewal. With the decline of past industrial zones, old industrial sites become an inevitable part of global urban re-planning. Success or failure depends on the urban environment and future economic development. This paper begins with theoretical research combined with industrial heritage protection trends in China and internationally, defines the research scope, and develops the overall research framework. Cases are selected based on historical research and Shanghai's industrial heritage protection and regeneration is examined through case studies. Heritage value and regeneration design strategy are then developed. Specific content includes:Firstly, theoretical research definitions of "industrial heritage", "industrial building heritage" and "urban regeneration" are presented. Shanghai’s historical industrial development is then reviewed and summarized.Secondly, Shanghai's representative industry is presented with its heritage protection and reuse cases. Based on historical research, six typical cases were selected from the different periods of Shanghai industrial development, the distribution characteristics of these industrial sites, and the reuse status.Thirdly, based on case analysis, Shanghai’s existing laws and regulations related industrial heritage and building protection are presented. The status quo of industrial heritage protection in Shanghai is evaluated from the perspectives of continuity, integrity, and authenticity. Three aspects of Shanghai's industrial heritage are introduced: distribution, quantity, and style. The status quo of industrial heritage protection in Shanghai and the mode and existing problems of regeneration are then summarized.Fourthly, the components and protection modes of industrial heritage are discussed. This highlights the motivation for combining industrial heritage and cultural and creative industries in terms of policy, markets, space, and culture. Then, from the "creative city" perspective, this thesis interprets the legal system and transformation mechanism of heritage value.Finally, the three main aspects of industrial regeneration design are discussed: global re-planning, building regeneration, and landscape reconstruction.This thesis presents the development of these well-known Shanghai industries to analyze the factors contributing to their transformation and to see if the transformation strategy is appropriate. Although, in the strict sense, they do not yet belong to the "industrial heritage" category, only becoming part of this heritage as time passes. Their transformation and renovation is also historic and should be fully documented. Which policies and measures are correct and which should be revised? This may well be repeatedly reviewed and judged in the future. Some theories in this paper may also need more time to assess and perfect. If the history of industrial civilization is a thick book, the significance of this study is to add more content for future generations

Dilapidated immovable cultural monuments, care for them, their salvation and any other use or conservation for future generations is the last time hot topic. Despite the xpensive maintenance and often significantly (whether awaited or already paid) investments in these objects we are more and more aware that these monuments are an integral part of the cultural heritage which uniquely demonstrates creative work, effort, attempt, way of thinking and craftsmanship of previous generations, making it an indispensable and irreplaceable source of knowledge of national history and it is our moral responsibility for the cultural heritage of the past to properly take care of. More and more it is true that the level of preservation of the monuments reflects the maturity of the social system, the public sentiment and democracy in the country. In this doctoral thesis the issue of cultural immovable monuments, definitions of basic concepts in terms of valid and prepared legislation and a general description of conservation including points of view on the value of historically valuable objects and the determination of this value, is introduced. Furthermore, the basic methods usable precisely for the quantification of value including examples of their use, description of the suitability for specific needs or drawbacks of each method, are processed. The proposed methodology for quantifying the value by using multipliers is carefully documented and then presented on a specific investment objective of reconstruction and further use of the dilapidated cultural immovable monument. The aim of the doctoral thesis is to prove or disprove that the use of the multiplier of production of the national economy can build the appropriate method for quantifying the value of investments in immovable cultural monument.

Full textAbstract:
Doutoramento em Engenharia CivilThe risk of losing ancient construction systems is highly relevant in the whole Mediterranean region, but also in many other countries worldwide. The earthen heritage and the mixed construction systems with timber are decreasing very fast and being identified in lists of risk by UNESCO, ICOMOS and by many researchers all over the world. They represent a cultural value of the societies that is being neglected due to unbalanced development, demolitions, lack of knowledge, and guidelines for conservation, instead of the expected unique reason of decay due to natural agents or ageing. Although some conservation approaches have been successful, the results are still scarce and the mistakes continuously repeated imposing irreversible gaps in reading this relevant heritage, mainly in urban areas. This entails questions about the approach to protection, conservation, and the reasons behind such disseminated failure in these objectives. The earthen architecture shows precisely the difficulties in the establishment of a strategy able to successfully achieve the goal of preserving its cultural value. This needs continuous research and ability to communicate the best conservation strategy as just one of the steps of a balanced framework. This investigation aims to discover reasons for failure of conservation strategies involving the traditional construction systems, valuing the case of adobe architecture; to give significance to traditional construction systems as a cultural value to protect and preserve; to propose conservation research areas necessary in a framework of integrated conservation of built heritage, involving the specific case of adobe buildings. The research methodology of this investigation is based mostly on qualitative methods and a case study about adobe construction system, its evolution since the 19th century until the middle of 20th century, and its interaction with architecture. The case study was used to address the main identified gaps of research needed to proceed with an integrated conservation and protection approach of adobe heritage in Portugal. A combination of sources was used following a multi-method approach: in situ surveys, collection of archive files (drawings, written documents and photos), published literature, published and unpublished reports from international organisations, photographic reports, open interviews, and laboratory tests. The first analyses show evidence of multiple causes of failure for the support of conservation strategies. The most important is the lack of a long-term integrated strategy within a recognized and supported framework. Secondly, the continuity of shortcomings is expressed in inadequate choices at several levels of decision-making, absence of measures of maintenance and conservation. Thirdly, the lack of knowledge about the adobe traditional construction system, its evolution and wide interaction with architecture, the approach to the present standards of comfort, and finally, the problem of waterproof barrier and salt’s effects are the main causes of failure in the promotion of adobe conservation strategies. This research recommends the use of the construction system as a cultural value to guarantee the longevity of traditional building heritage, supported by research. It also stresses the importance of understanding the difficulties of application of conservation strategies, looking to a wider international area to better understand the reasons behind causes and eventual successes. It proposes an interpretation of evolution of the adobe construction system and identifies the main defects, both of which should constitute the base of knowledge of any conservation strategy. Finally, considering an integrated framework of conservation strategy, an approach is recommended that integrates key issues of awareness for heritage and research. The specific case study of adobe construction emphasized three main approach areas: the vernacular architecture for public awareness; thermal and comfort issues for protection strategy; and finally, the waterproof barrier with diatomaceous earth, its role in the decrease of salt’s effects and as an effective barrier, for the use of research to solve technical problems of earthen construction.
O risco de perder sistemas de construtivos antigos é altamente relevante em toda a região do Mediterrâneo, mas também em muitos outros países do mundo. O Património de terra e os sistemas construtivos mistos com madeira estão a decrescer rapidamente e são alvo de propostas para integrarem listas de Risco pela UNESCO, ICOMOS e com alertas de vários investigadores de todo o mundo. Estes sistemas, representam um valor cultural das sociedades, que está a ser negligenciado devido ao desenvolvimento desequilibrado, às demolições, à falta de conhecimento, e à falta de diretrizes para a conservação, em vez de a expectável única razão, de deterioração devido aos agentes naturais ou ao seu próprio envelhecimento. Embora algumas experiências de Conservação tenham sido bem sucedidas, os resultados ainda são escassos e os erros continuamente repetidos, impondo lacunas irreversíveis na leitura deste Património relevante, principalmente em áreas urbanas. Isto levanta questões sobre a abordagem à proteção, à conservação, e às razões que estão por trás de tão disseminada falha nos objetivos. A Arquitectura de Terra sofre precisamente destas dificuldades no estabelecimento de uma estratégia capaz de alcançar com sucesso o objetivo de preservar o seu Valor Cultural. O que requer uma investigação contínua e capacidade de comunicar a melhor estratégia de conservação capaz de alcançar com sucesso a compatibilização para a preservação do seu valor cultural, como apenas uma das etapas de um enquadramento equilibrado. Esta investigação tem como objetivo: descobrir as razões subjacentes ao fracasso de estratégias de conservação; investigar os sistemas de construção tradicionais, valorizando o caso da arquitetura de adobe; estudar a significância dos sistemas construtivos tradicionais como valores culturais a proteger e preservar; propor áreas de pesquisa de conservação dentro de um quadro de Conservação Integrada do Património construído, envolvendo o caso específico dos edifícios de adobe. As primeiras análises mostram evidências de múltiplas causas de fracasso para o apoio de medidas de conservação. O que mais se destaca é a falta de uma estratégia integrada de longo prazo, num programa reconhecido e apoiado. Em segundo lugar, a continuidade das deficiências é expressa nas escolhas inadequadas em vários níveis da tomada de decisão, a ausência de medidas de manutenção e conservação. Em terceiro lugar, a falta de conhecimento sobre os sistemas construtivos tradicionais (de adobe), sua evolução e ampla interação com a arquitetura, a abordagem sobre compatibilização dos atuais padrões de conforto com o valor cultural, e, finalmente, o problema particular do corte hídrico e controlo da ação dos sais no edificado antigo, são causas de falha nas estratégias de conservação de adobe, por falta de informação e de investigação. Esta pesquisa recomenda o reconhecimento do sistema construtivo como um valor cultural, para garantir a longevidade do Património construído tradicional, apoiado na investigação. Aborda as dificuldades de aplicação de estratégias de conservação, a nível internacional para melhor compreender as razões de sucesso ou fracasso. Propõe uma interpretação da evolução do sistema construtivo de adobe e identifica os principais defeitos, para apoiar a base de conhecimento de estratégias de conservação. Por fim, considerando o âmbito de uma Conservação Integrada recomenda uma abordagem que integre questões-chave de sensibilização para o património e investigação. O caso de estudo de construção de adobe enfatiza três destas áreas: a ligação entre a arquitetura vernacular e a arquitetura, para sensibilização do público; os problemas de compatibilidade com o conforto, para estratégia de proteção; e finalmente, o efeito da diatomite em barreiras de corte hídrico e aos sais, para apoio aos problemas técnicos de conservação do Património de Terra.

Conservation of industrial heritage is a very popular issue in last years. But
this conservation studies are not adequate so a lot of industrial complexes which
effected architectural features of industrial buildings, style of producing, production

Full textAbstract:
Value co-creation is shown to play a prominent role in performance improvement in various sectors ranging from manufacturing to service. However, its role in creating value and consequently improving the performance of service in tourist sector has not been investigated in the literature. In order to bridge this gap, this thesis builds models aiming at developing a tourism engagement based value co-creation mechanism. It targets to improve cultural heritage sector performance in terms of service delivery system. Considering a specific case study, Sicily in Southern Italy, the developed models intend to address the tourist’s service delivery experience design. Moreover, we aim to realize the potential problems and clearly understand the relations of causal factors within the cultural heritage sector through engaging tourists and private sector. This engagement is basically governed through getting feedback and ideas from tourists. The modelling tool used is system dynamics (SD). SD has been widely used in various fields where there are complex relationships and interactions among various actors, which are hard to analyse. Proven to be a powerful tool in analysing dynamic systems, we also employ this methodology for our analysis. Although system dynamics has been applied to a wide range of problem domains, using it in co-creating value within service delivery design especially in tourism sector is relatively new and is considered one of the main scientific contributions of this study. One of the main advantages of SD is that it provides us with the opportunity to analyse the impacts and consequences of different policies and also the sensitivity of the system to these policies and parameters of the problem. In other words, this remarkably helps policy makers and service providers to mainly avoid the failures of policies and standards and strive for applying more efficient policies. The benefits of using this approach in the tourist sector are twofold. On the one hand it would lead to more satisfied tourists and on the other hand governmental and non-governmental financial resources would be allocated to the different part of the service supply chain more effectively. Given the current economic situation of Italy and its facing scarce financial resources, we need to be extremely careful to consume those resources in an effective and efficient manner. Having this in mind, our models formulate various policies that give different priorities to investment options in various areas within tourism sector including IT, human resource, infrastructure and HR skills. Using the SD simulation models we can analyse the impacts of these policies and based on the output of the models make recommendation. The main result of this thesis suggests that incorporating a value co-creation through engagement of tourists, ideation, would enable policy maker to stay in line with tourists needs and invest in accordance with their wants which leads to significant improvement in quality of the service offered to tourists. By way of the results of implementing different policies, proves that the first policy which exactly has been set in line with tourist needs is the most influential one.

Full textAbstract:
After World War II (WWII) Britain was responsible for much of the early pioneering, multi-storey architecture and British architects designed some of the best social housing in the world. This formed part of an extraordinary drive for modernisation and it was an important instrument in comprehensive architectural reform. Although multi-storey housing accounted for only 20% of all approvals between 1963-7, it has come to epitomise the post-War era and 'modem living’. These buildings are now a paradox. Rather than being at the forefront of a new ideology they now form part of our built legacy. Their consideration as heritage appears highly contentious and has resulted in differing public, professional and political opinion. Despite both the Government and English Heritage recognising that they are facing acute redevelopment pressures, their heritage designation is vastly under-represented and without heritage classification they have no protection against the perceived threats. This thesis proposes that there are underlying factors hindering the heritage protection of Post-WWII social housing and that for the few that have attained heritage classification there is an inconsistent approach to their protection basis. It aims to identify, therefore, the problems associated with its conservation so that action can be recommended to help improve its protection. This will be achieved by examining a series of case studies that will show how Modern post-WWII social housing is being preserved and brought into the conservation arena; it will highlight the perceived threats that are hindering its conservation; it will assess whether it presents different conservation requirements and demands an alternative methodology than that for buildings from earlier periods; it will evaluate how Modernism’s origins and objectives have a bearing on the conservation aims; and it will analyse how these buildings are being conserved to preserve their architectural and historical significance and also ensure they remain economically and socially viable to meet society’s current needs.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to show how Europe is constructed at the intersection between archaeology, money and politics within EU cultural actions. Ever since the 1970s, the European Community has invested money and prestige in the idea of a common cultural heritage for Europe. Alongside symbolic attributes such as the flag and anthem, archaeological sites have been used as rhetorical fuel to create a sense of European belonging, much like in national identity building. As a result, archaeologists and heritage professionals have benefitted from EU funding for restoration of sites, training schools and cooperation projects since 1976. In order to address this mutual engagement, the research in this thesis explores the ways that EU grant systems in culture have fostered specific approaches to Europeanness, and how supported projects have responded to notions about a common heritage. By considering EU officials, expert reviewers, consultants and archaeologists as co-creators of the frameworks they participate in, this study raises the idea of financial ties as a place of interaction. The study takes an ethnographic approach and uses discourse analysis and tools from Actor-Network Theory. The material consists of observations made during an internship at the European Commission, 41 interviews with different actors, as well as policy documents, budgets and collected information about 160 supported projects with archaeological themes. This research demonstrates how the expectations linked to archaeology have turned it into both a problem and a promise in the search for a 'usable past' for the EU. On the one hand, archaeology has functioned as an anchor, mooring the notion of a common heritage to something solid. On the other, because of its strong commitment to nationhood, what archaeology claims for its own has often undermined the very idea of a shared European inheritance. Projects benefitting from EU support have taken advantage of the expectations placed upon archaeology to help create a European identity, using buzzwords and 'application poetry' in their proposals. Many projects continuously used EU goals and symbols in their outputs. Sometimes a European past and present was connected by rhetorically tying archaeological periods (such as the Middle Ages and Roman Era) and phenomena (rock art or landscapes) to the EU political project. This link was more manifest in public settings than in academic ones. Taken together, the considerations brought up in this study show that funding matters. The EU strategy of vagueness, in which instructions and evaluation criteria foremost decide the frames but not the content of the projects, has inspired applicants to 'think Europe without thinking.' Once an application is written and submitted, a chain of translations by different actors works to depoliticise the act of constructing Europe. The EU, just as other funding bodies, has become entangled in the political ecology of archaeology. An entanglement which is unavoidable, but which needs to be critically addressed. Funding sources matter for the way we understand both the past and the meaning of archaeology in the present.Denna avhandling undersöker hur Europa skapas i gränslandet mellan arkeologi, pengar och politik inom den Europeiska Unionens kulturpolitiska finansieringsprogram. Vid sidan av symboliska attribut såsom flagga och nationalsång har företrädare för den Europeiska Gemenskapen och EU engagerat sig i idén om ett gemensamt europeiskt kulturarv, på ett metaforiskt såväl som ett materiellt plan. Politisk legitimitet har sökts med hänvisning till en mångtusenårig samhörighet. I samband med detta engagemang har arkeologer och kulturarvsarbetare sedan 1970-talet erhållit finansiellt stöd för restaureringsprojekt på platser av europeisk betydelse och transnationella samarbetsprojekt som kan skapa europeiskt mervärde. Studien undersöker banden mellan EU och arkeologi genom att lyfta finansiering som en plats för interaktion och meningsskapande. En etnografisk metod har tillämpats, där empirin består av fältobservationer från en praktikantperiod på Europeiska kommissionen, 41 intervjuer med olika aktörer, samt policydokument och arkeologiska texter. En databas med 160 arkeologiska projekt har även skapats. Diskursanalys och nätverksteoretiska begrepp såsom översättningar och svarta lådan har använts för att lokalisera och begreppsliggöra iakttagelser och meningsfulla skärningspunkter i materialet. Studien visar hur EU-tjänstemän, expertgranskare, konsulter och arkeologer alla deltar i utformandet av arkeologiska problemställningar och byggandet av professionella nätverk. EUs mjuka strategier, inom vilka instruktioner och utvärderingskriterier främst bestämmer ramarna men inte innehållet i de finansierade projekten, har inspirerat sökande att tänka Europa utan att tänka. När en ansökan skrivs och lämnas in startar en kedja av översättningar som leder till att olika aktörer avpolitiserar skapandet av Europa i samtiden. I resultaten framkom att arkeologiska projekt, genom att använda EUs målformuleringar i sina projektansökningar, ofta har utnyttjat EUs förväntningar på arkeologi om att skapa en europeisk identitet. I flera projekt knöts en europeisk samhörighet i det förflutna samman med dagens EUropa. Dessutom fortsatte många projekt att använda EUs mål och symboler i sina outputs. Här var EU-kopplingen tydligare i publika sammanhang än i akademiska. Sammantaget visar studien att val av finansieringskälla spelar stor roll. EUs finansieringsprogram har blivit en del av arkeologins politiska ekologi, en sammanflätning som är oundviklig men viktig att kritiskt uppmärksamma. Dessa band påverkar både vår syn på det förflutna och samhällets syn på arkeologi idag.

Full textAbstract:
Tourism has greatly increased world wide in recent decades, especially in China.
Nature-dominated Scenic and Historic Interest Areas, representative of the Chinese philosophy of the 'oneness of nature and human beings', are the most popular tourism destinations in China. Tourism impacts in these areas have been receiving the attention of heritage landscape conservation. Management actions have largely been determined with an emphasis on natural values. This thesis maintains that values relating to nature are socially and culturally constructed, and that they dynamically change through history. By investigating the social and cultural structures underpinning values related to nature, a macro-history method has been applied to explore the traditional Chinese View of nature from traditional Chinese philosophies and landscape cultures. An instrumental case study method has been applied to explore the contemporary Chinese values of nature. The relationships between traditional values and contemporary values have been identified. It was found that the traditional Chinese values still have a profound influence today, although many aspects have been distorted. Historic high culture in natural areas has been replaced by mass tourism culture and Western values. The research also found that today's values are more socially and politically contested. It has been revealed that there are deep social, cultural, economic and political roots underlying heritage conservation management actions. Changing and contested values have been interpreted from these perspectives. The values inherent in the Chinese View of nature, such as holistic philosophical perspectives, sophisticated Chinese landscape languages, and evolving living landscapes, have been identified. The contributions of these values to relevant theories of environmental philosophy, cultural landscape, national park tourism and heritage conservation have been identified by this research. The implications for multi-cultural dialogues in heritage landscape conservation have been addressed.

Full textAbstract:
This research was undertaken to encompass and identify challenges and impact factors that affect the successful outcomes of heritage building projects, especially those related to finding major causes of delays and cost overruns across projects in all Australian states. This project determined and analysed the causes of such delays and programme issues emanating from the planning and execution phases, whilst also analysing the requirements for management of multiple stakeholder relationships and the influence of unforeseen technical factors. The research proposes "call for action" guidance and was validated by experienced experts in heritage building projects in Australia. The proposed guidance is designed to ensure that realistic cost targets and delivery timeframes are set in future heritage projects, and necessary interventions made at appropriate project stages to ensure decisions are made that will help to prevent overtime and cost overuns.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the development of legislation, policy, and practice for the historic environment sector in England since 1997 in the context of the formative political and societal influences that act to shape it. Over this period, the emergence of a ‘public value paradigm’ for heritage is identified and the thesis considers the historical and ethical foundations for heritage within this ‘Public Value era’. The thesis then undertakes an explicitly political analysis of the historic environment sector and the effectiveness of the processes and practices which guide its political and public reputations and relationships. Set against this analysis, the thesis explores the question of how the historic environment sector should seek to construct a set of contemporary practices, in a changeable political world, which are compatible with the principles of public value that underpin the rhetoric of modern heritage. Of particular note is the influence of changing governance practices and economic conditions evident under recent Governments. The thesis examines the impacts of these various influences and attempts to disentangle the principles and utility of public value from the contextual political opportunities which have influenced its development in practice. The thesis offers a solution in the form of a public value framework, designed to guide the strategic engagement of the historic environment sector with its political, professional and public stakeholders. This framework is used to show how public value provides a viable model for conceptualising and shaping the political engagement of the professional historic environment sector and effectively navigating political systems. It therefore aims to contribute to the development of an innovative and flexible public value-rooted sector which is capable of delivering broad and socially relevant heritage benefits through historic environment sector activities.

O tema desta pesquisa é a atribuição de valor no campo do Patrimônio Cultural e o Sítio Alagadiço Novo, em Fortaleza, Ceará, é seu objeto de estudo. O Sítio Alagadiço foi o local de nascimento do romancista José de Alencar e teve suas terras remanescentes tombadas em 2012 pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico Nacional (IPHAN). Propriedade da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) desde 1965, o lugar abriga a instituição Casa de José de Alencar (CJA), órgão subordinado diretamente à Reitoria da UFC. A CJA é, inclusive, a denominação por que o Sítio é mais comumente conhecido pela comunidade fortalezense hoje. Isso posto, a questão de pesquisa da dissertação é: O que legitimou o tombamento do Sítio Alagadiço Novo? A fim de responder tal pergunta primeiro levantou-se a historiografia do Sítio em ordem com a história dos Alencar e com a evolução urbana de Fortaleza. Foram estipuladas três fases que correspondem aos ciclos econômicos da cidade, bem como coincidem com os ciclos em que (I) o Sítio Alagadiço Novo não existia como tal (1700-1810); (II) em que os Alencar viveram no lugar (1810-1930) e (III) ao ciclo pós-Alencar (1930-2018). A interpretação desse recorte historiográfico foi feita por meio do uso dos conceitos de Valor e Imaginário que serviram à provação da hipótese de que o tombamento do Sítio, em sua gênese, deveu-se à introjeção de um imaginário em torno da figura do escritor José de Alencar transformado em herói local no início do século XX.This research explores the value attribution in the field of Cultural Heritage and the Sítio Alagadiço Novo, in Fortaleza, Ceará, is the object of the study. The Sítio Alagadiço was the birthplace of the novelist José de Alencar and had its remaining lands listed in 2012 by the National Historical Heritage Institute (IPHAN). Property of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) since 1965, the place houses the institution Casa de José de Alencar (CJA), a subordinate body of the UFC’s Board. The CJA is even the denomination by which the site is most commonly known by the community of Fortaleza nowadays. With that being said, the research question of this dissertation is: What values did legitimize the heritage listing of Sítio Alagadiço Novo? In order to answer such a question, the historiography of the Site was elaborated in parallel with the history of the Alencar family and the urban evolution of Fortaleza. Three phases were stipulated corresponding to the economic cycles of the city as well as coincide with the cycles in which (I) the Sítio Alagadiço Novo did not exist as such (1700-1810); (II) in which the Alencar family lived in the place (1810-1930) and (III) the Post-Alencar cycle (1930-2018). The interpretation of this historiographic clipping was made through the use of the concepts of Value and Imaginary that served to test the following hypothesis: the listing of the Site, in its genesis, was due to the introjection of an imaginary around the figure of José de Alencar, whom was transformed into a local hero in the early 20th century.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the processes surrounding the assessment of places of cultural significance in Australia, and the extent to which they are achieving some of their key objectives.In the 1970s, Australia challenged the conventions of many other countries by developing a methodology for heritage assessment that aimed at identifying all the qualities that make a place significant. This contrasted with traditional practices that focussed on architectural style, design or historic associations. The Australian paradigm identifies four key evaluative criteria against which to assess the evidence about a place: aesthetic, historic, scientific and social value. This systematic, criterion based approach is now nationally regarded as representing best practice and has been adopted in all state heritage legislation. Internationally, several countries have developed codes of practice substantially on the basis of the Australian model.One consequence of the widespread acceptance of the principles used in Australia is a lack of investigation into their successful application. The methodology has come to function as a ‘primary frame’, a way of thinking that is so widely accepted it is applied without question. The concern with any primary frame is that those working within its parameters can become ‘frame blind’ and fail to recognise any disjunction between the frame’s objectives and the outcomes it achieves. One of the aims of this thesis is to draw attention to the presence and dominant nature of this primary frame and encourage greater critical reflection on the professional practice of cultural heritage.The research program undertaken for this thesis focuses on the particular issue of how the primary frame allows for the identification of cultural heritage values held by past communities. In examining this subject it addresses several key questions: Which places did historic communities value? Can such places be assessed in terms of contemporary heritage values as set out by the primary frame? What other forms of assessment may be valid? To what extent do places identified by today’s society as having heritage values correlate to those valued by historic communities? What implications does the identification of places valued by historic communities have for contemporary land management agencies? Are there other forms of assessment that could be developed to uncover historic community places and values?In addressing these questions, this thesis challenges many of the conventions that have developed around the current assessment methodology; conventions that work to undermine the holistic objective of the primary frame. The study does not, however, seek to develop an alternative model for heritage assessment and the approaches it uses are consistent with the primary frame. Nevertheless, the approaches may be confronting to many practitioners.The research program focussed on the physically and temporally discrete historic community living in what is now the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River in Western Australia between 1832 and 1880. From the extensive collection of letters, journals and diaries written by settlers held in local archives, places that were significant to the historic community were identified. Omissions were then identified by comparing these to places identified on other heritage lists.The findings demonstrate the extent to which the primary frame is being reframed through conventions and unofficial practices, and the degree to which this is overlooked, despite being inconsistent with the broad objectives of the primary frame. Some places that were significant to the historic community have been identified as important, but there is little acknowledgement in these assessments of past cultural associations. Other places have not been identified because they no longer have the same degree of significance that was accorded to them by the historic community.This thesis concludes that the potential for the primary frame to result in more holistic heritage assessments has yet to be realised, and that the assessment process is being constrained by conventions and reframing. In order to effect change, the evaluative criteria need to be more rigorously and expansively applied.In line with the regulations of Curtin University, this thesis is presented as a series of eight papers published in refereed publications. They are supported by four chapters, which introduce the topic, provide a theoretical context, explain the methodological approach and draw together the conclusions of the research. Each paper also has a brief introduction. Together, the papers and supporting material form the thesis.

This thesis is focused on the issue of valuation and reporting heritage assets. At first, there is an effort to define the term heritage assets. Categorization of these items is based on World Heritage List, which is compiled by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The next part points to the relation between the cultural and economic concept of value, as well as the difference between these values and the price. The last part is devoted to the issue of accounting for heritage assets. Based on existing legislation and standardization, there is a summary of the options for the valuation and reporting heritage items.

Orientador: Eduardo Romero de OliveiraResumo: Esta investigação visa avaliar os usos atualmente propostos aos remanescentes protegidos da Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro (Jundiaí-SP), em relação às diretrizes e políticas de preservação do patrimônio. Esse conjunto ferroviário é conhecido como Complexo FEPASA e, desde 2002, está sob proteção do Instituto do Patrimônio Histó-rico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN). A metodologia proposta neste estudo inclui pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, utilização de ferramenta de georreferenciamento, entrevistas e demais métodos observacionais propostos na metodologia de Abordagem de Valoriza-ção do Patrimônio (AVP), que visa compreender os valores atribuídos pela comunidade aos bens protegidos. A avaliação dos usos atribuídos ao Complexo FEPASA foi possibi-litada por meio do mapeamento dos dados coletados no decorrer da investigação. Ao fim, identificou-se que a percepção do patrimônio industrial ferroviário em escala paisa-gística pode auxiliar na identificação e atribuição de novos usos a esses bens, uma vez que esta abrange os diferentes alicerces presentes na conceituação da preservação patri-monial, como o espacial, a gestão e o âmbito social.
Abstract: This research aims to evaluate the current uses proposed for the protected remnants of the Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro (Jundiaí-SP), in relation to heritage preservation guidelines and policies. Currently the set is known as the FEPASA Complex and protected by the National Artistic and Historical Heritage Institute (Insti-tuto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional - IPHAN) since 2002. The methodol-ogy proposed in this study includes bibliographical and documentary research, use of georeferencing tool, interviews and other observational methods proposed in the Ap-proach and Values of Heritage (Abordagem e Valorização do Patrimônio - AVP) meth-odology, which aims to understand the values attributed by the community to the set protected. The evaluation of the uses attributed to the FEPASA Complex was made possible by mapping the data collected during the investigation. Finally, it was identi-fied that the perception of railway industrial heritage from the landscape scale can help in the identification and attribution of new uses to these heritage, since it covers the different foundations present in the conceptualization of heritage preservation, such as space, management and the social environment.

Full textAbstract:
Tianjin s’est avérée un lieu de rencontres et d’échanges entre les Chinois et les étrangers pendant plus de 150 ans. Face au risque d’effondrement du pays, les pionniers chinois au tournant du XXe siècle ont lancé les premières tentatives de modernisation à Tianjin pour devenir autonomes en termes industriels et techniques et rétablir l’image de la Chine dans l’arène internationale. Aujourd’hui, confrontée à la crise de perte d’identité, la municipalité de Tianjin cherche activement à sauvegarder son patrimoine lié au passé et significatif pour le futur. À travers une étude sur l’électrification de Tianjin et sur la conservation de ses vestiges, cette thèse montre qu’il existe un point commun à ces deux actions à deux époques différentes : l’apprentissage de connaissances modernes auprès de l’Occident et leur appropriation en Chine qui donne la force à cet ancien pays pour rajeunir. Nous allons démontrer que l’électrification de Tianjin était un témoin important de l’autonomie acquise allant du contrôle absolu par les étrangers à la gestion réussie par les Chinois. La mondialisation au XIXe et XXe siècles nous offre un axe pour décrypter les actions des compagnies d’électricité étrangères pour pénétrer le marché chinois. Nous étudierons les conflits entre la technicité de l’électrification – extension du réseau – et le démembrement de la ville pendant la domination des entrepreneurs et administrateurs européens. Nous traiterons ensuite de l’intégration progressive et de la gestion systématique du réseau électrique sous le monopole étatique chinois après la fin de l’impérialisme en ChineTianjin has been such a place where Chinese and the foreigners met each other and exchanged frequently for over 150 years. Facing the risk of a dissembling country, the Chinese pioneers led the modernization at the dawn of the 20th century in order to achieve industrial et technical autonomy and to recover China’s image on the international arena. Today, confronted to the crisis of identity lost, the municipality of Tianjin strives to protect its own heritage, inherited from the past and is significant for the future. Based on a study of the history of electrification and of the conservation of the vestiges, this dissertation shows the common point between these two actions in two periods: to learn modern knowledge from the western world and apply it to China. This application gives China the full energy to rejuvenate. We are going to demonstrate that electrification was an important witness of the Chinese regain of autonomy in the technical perspective. They turned from staying under foreigners’ control to succeeding in its effective management. The globalization in the 19th and 20th centuries appears a path to decipher the actions taken by the foreign electric firms to penetrate the Chinese market. We will study the conflicts between the technical requirement of electricity, which is the network extension, and the separation of the electric service in the city under the domination of European administrators and entrepreneurs. We will further the integration of these separate networks and their systematic management under the state monopoly after imperialism ended in China. The urgent task of industrial brownfields conservation and their transformation into hubs for creative activities raise an issue for us to look into the effectiveness of the legal framework of heritage protection, which was introduced one century ago and has been improved all the time. Based on the politics of Tianjin for heritage, we will explore the possibilities and sound ways of enhancing the value of its old electric network
