Abstract

Abstract With the advancement of China’s economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the conservation and sustainable development of historical architectural heritage has become the focus of the current and future society. However, there are still many deficiencies in the conservation and development of modern architectural cultural heritage. Due to the scattered distribution of heritage space and the lack of overall planning in the process of conservation and development, there are some problems, such as uneven development in various regions, insufficient integration of resources, serious destruction of cultural heritage, and so on. This article takes the modern historical and cultural heritage of the Dabie Mountains as the research object and integrates its resources according to different types with the Geographical Information System platform to establish the historical heritage basic database. Data attributes are analyzed through dot density, traffic accessibility, and other spatial elements, whose results are used to evaluate the conservation and utilization status of the regional historical heritage. On that basis, combined with the distribution characteristics of historical resources, this article puts forward the conservation planning scheme based on the level and focus, and the sustainable development structure of group development and linkage development, so as to realize the transformation from section conservation to sustainable development. It also presents new ideas and technical methods for historical heritage conservation and sustainable development of the Dabie Mountains.

Highlights

In recent years, with the acceleration of China’s modernization process, great changes have taken place in cultural ecology
The research on the foreign urban heritage has developed from the early attack on urban renewal and the research on the noumenon value of historical buildings to the research on the intangible part of urban life, which boosted a lot of analysis and research results of the past reuse practice
Since the 1990s, Geographical Information System (GIS) and RS and other high-techs have been applied by UNESCO in cultural heritage conservation planning, management, and utilization [21], which has gradually been promoted to provide powerful assistance for increasingly complex urban planning and heritage conservation work

Summary

Introduction

With the acceleration of China’s modernization process, great changes have taken place in cultural ecology. The architectural cultural heritage and its living environment have been seriously threatened, and many modern historical sites and buildings have been destroyed. The research on the foreign urban heritage has developed from the early attack on urban renewal and the research on the noumenon value of historical buildings to the research on the intangible part of urban life, which boosted a lot of analysis and research results of the past reuse practice. Urban heritage cannot be disassociated from urban planning any more than from human society and culture, economic, and ecological considerations [7,8,9,10,11]
