Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou Rocky Desertification Area

The Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou rocky desertification area is characterized by a fragile ecological environment, along with the inhabitation of many ethnic minorities, making it the region with the most poverty-alleviation targets among the 14 concentrated poverty-stricken areas in China. However, this area has obvious cultural resources, but it lacks systematic study. Therefore, integral investigation and research which can promote the sustainable development with abundant culture resource should pay more attention to it. This study, with 1113 national and provincial intangible cultural heritage projects in this area as research objects, used ArcGIS to visualize their geographic data for research. Geodetector was used to quantify the influence of relevant factors and analyze the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of intangible cultural heritage in this region. By providing a correlative strategy, the aim is to promote the coordinated development of the regional cultural economy. The results are as follows: (1) Guizhou exhibits the highest distribution of intangible cultural heritage projects, followed by Guangxi and Yunnan, indicating an uneven number of intangible cultural heritage projects. (2) A spatial analysis shows the clustered spatial distribution of intangible cultural heritage projects in this area, forming a high-density core area and multiple sub high-density areas with high spatial autocorrelation. (3) The spatial distribution of intangible cultural heritage in the rocky desertification areas of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou is generally correlated with survival orientation and natural environmental factors and positively correlated with development orientation and social, economic, ethnic, and cultural factors. Among many factors, cultural environment quantity exhibits the strongest correlation with the spatial distribution of intangible cultural heritage. (4) Based on the degree of correlation with different influencing factors, four development strategies are proposed: digitization of intangible cultural heritage inheritance and development, multi-media intangible cultural heritage creation and dissemination, innovative construction of intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, and tourism-driven dynamic inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.

User experience model and design strategies for virtual reality-based cultural heritage exhibition

A virtual reality (VR) based cultural heritage exhibition (VRCHE) is an important type of VR-based museum exhibition. The user experience (UX) design of VRCHE has encountered opportunities and due to the differences in human–computer interaction between VR-based and conventional interaction interfaces, so proposing the UX model of VRCHE is crucial. Although there are some existing works that study the UX models of VRCHEs, they are not complete enough to describe the UX of VRCHEs or offer any design strategies due to the methodologies and experimental materials that they currently use. This study creates experiments utilizing grounded theory that combine qualitative and quantitative approaches. Then, the study synthesizes three-level coding and quantitative analysis findings from grounded theory, builds a detailed model of the VRCHE UX using theoretical coding, and proposes design strategies.

홀로그램 기술을 활용한 문화유산 전시 사례 분석 연구

A hologram is described as a 'screenless display' that provides a realism and three-dimensional effect as if seeing a real object, and refers to a technology that implements a three-dimensional stereoscopic image using laser light. These holograms are currently being used in various cultural industries such as performances, exhibitions, and advertisements. In particular, pseudo-holograms such as floating techniques are mainly used in the cultural heritage exhibition field. However, pseudo-holograms can implement the same effect as holograms that show virtual 3D images in the real world, but there are still practical and technical limitations in satisfying audiences who want perfect 3D images like those seen in science fiction movies. The hologram, which is attracting attention as a future high-value-added imaging technology, can naturally reproduce real or virtual objects in a three-dimensional space as if they were real. In addition, holography technology is expected to lead the growth of the immersive content industry in the future by improving the technical limitations of the current augmented reality(AR) or virtual reality(VR). Therefore, if the current holography technology is gradually improved and supplemented with hologram screen, hologram printing, and plenoptic visualization technology, it is expected that the field of digital heritage contents and exhibitions using hologram will further develop in the future.

Therefore, the research in this paper is realistic and practical. Therefore, the research methods pay attention to the combination of theoretical research and empirical research, the combination of comprehensive research and case study, and pay more attention to empirical research and comprehensive research.

Rural public space design in China's western regions: Territorial landscape aesthetics and sustainable development from a tourism perspective

<abstract> <p>This paper, set against the backdrop of folk culture and rural landscapes in China's western regions, delves into the pivotal role of territorial landscape aesthetics theory in the design of public spaces in new rural areas. It offers innovative ideas and methodologies for rural spatial planning and design. The concept of the "New Countryside" aims to enhance rural residents' quality of life, propel rural modernization, and foster integrated urban-rural development. Employing the analytic network process (ANP), this study establishes an assessment framework for evaluating folk cultural rural landscapes, encompassing natural, social, and economic dimensions as indicators, and analyzes the weightings between influencing factors. The research findings underscore the significant impact of territorial landscape aesthetics on elevating rural landscapes. Building upon these findings, the paper presents recommendations for the design of public spaces in tourism-oriented rural areas of China's western regions. These recommendations encompass preserving historical relics and traditional dwellings, integrating folk culture into public artistic designs and enhancing rural cultural heritage exhibitions that depict local customs, traditions, and accomplishments. These suggestions are aimed at enhancing the quality and appeal of rural landscapes, thereby fostering the development of local tourism. Through an in-depth exploration of the application of territorial landscape aesthetics, it is hoped that this study can offer valuable guidance and inspiration for the design of public spaces in tourism-focused rural areas of China's western regions, while actively contributing to the preservation and promotion of folk culture.</p> </abstract>

ENHANCING ACCESSIBILITY TO CULTURAL HERITAGE THROUGH DIGITAL CONTENT AND VIRTUAL REALITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE SARMIZEGETUSA REGIA UNESCO SITE

The process of documenting cultural heritage digitally has emerged with the recent technological developments. One of the direct consequences of using digital devices to promote cultural heritage is to educate the endusers and to exceed their initial expectations regarding their interaction and engagement with cultural heritage assets. Creativity is encour-aged and stimulated by technology; as a result, cultural heritage domain must use technologies and tools from various domains such as engineering (3D scanning), gaming industry (VR headsets), digital marketing (interactive screens) to create interactive exhibitions. These tools can be paired with classical cultural heritage exhibition methods to attract, engage and support end-users more efficiently and effectively by creating unprecedented interactive. For this endeavor more than 560 artifacts have been digitized, the monuments and the fortress have been digitally reconstructed and integrated in digital applications that were combined with classical museum exhibition methods. By doing so, the paper also brings contributions concerning the methodologies used for deploying state of the art scanning and digitizing technologies. The main motivation was to bring classic exhibition techniques to modern times and to attract the young audiences to museums, thus identifying how they can be more engaged, involved and educated within the mixed museum spaces.

How to design for exploration through emergent narratives

ABSTRACT This paper presents emergent narratives from theory on game design as a model for designing cultural heritage exhibitions and discusses how criteria of emergent narratives can support exploratory user behaviour. We propose that emergent narratives can be transferred to the design of interactive digital exhibitions, thereby removing constraints and allow for more personalized and potentially structure-breaking user experiences. Whereas exhibition design often either focuses on form or content, we propose that by designing for exploration through criteria of emergent narratives, a balance can be found between content and form that encourages explorative behaviour in the exhibition. This adds to the discourse of design principles for using principles from closed digital environments, such as games, in open physical spaces of exhibitions. This paper answers the research question of how theory of emergent narratives can be used to design for exploration.

Enhancing user engagement through the user centric design of a mid-air gesture-based interface for the navigation of virtual-tours in cultural heritage expositions

One of the most effective strategies that can be adopted to make successful cultural heritage expositions consists in attracting the visitors’ attention and improving their enjoyment/engagement. A mid-air gesture-based Natural User Interface was designed, through the user-centric approach, for the navigation of virtual tours in cultural heritage exhibitions. In detail, the proposed interface was developed to “visit” Murgia, a karst zone lying within Puglia, very famous for its fortified farms, dolines, sinkholes, and caves. Including an “immersive” gesture-based interface was demonstrated to improve the user's experience thus giving her/him the sensation of “exploring” in a seamless manner the wonderful and rather adventurous sites of Murgia. User tests aimed at comparing the implemented interface with a conventional mouse-controlled one confirmed the capability of the proposed interface to enhance the user engagement/enjoyment and to make “more” natural/real, the virtual environment.

Participatory heritage innovation: designing dialogic sites of engagement

Innovations in digital cultural communication for museums challenge us to develop appropriate methods for participation in curatorial processes and to rethink the role of audiences inside exhibitions. The article explores the potentials of scaffolding sites of dialogue and creative engagement through the design process and final exhibition. It draws upon experiences from an interactive exhibition project, Digital Natives, in which we combined principles from Participatory Design with issues of contemporary digital culture to explore possibilities for creating heritage innovation. We suggest three critical stages of the dialogic design process in which engagement between stakeholders, researchers, and audiences can be central to shaping and transforming future conceptions of digital cultural heritage, through process and final exhibition. In this way, we argue that a participatory design anthropological approach to digital culture can expand opportunities for heritage innovation through technological means of engagement in museums.

The Herbert Virtual Museum

In recent years, virtual reality and augmented reality have emerged as areas of extreme interest as unique methods for visualising and interacting with digital museum artefacts in a different context, for example, as a virtual museum or exhibition, particularly over the Internet. Modern cultural heritage exhibitions have evolved from static to dynamic exhibitions and challenging explorations. This paper presents two different applications developed for the Herbert Museum and Art Gallery that make the user’s experience more immersive, engaging, and interactive. The first application utilizes mobile phone devices in order to enrich the visitors experience in the museum, and the second application is a serious game for cultural heritage and in particular for museum environments focusing on the younger visitors.

O3D-based personal museum designing system in virtual learning environment

This paper describes an integrated method of designing and implementing an indoor virtual environment for cultural heritage exhibition based on our immersion educational learning system by using open web standard for 3D graphics (O3D). By using the 3D museum construction tool offered by our system, users can create their personal museums to exhibit their collections interactively with their own style and subject, such as according to decades. And users can also set their constructed personal museum open to others to view, learn information or communicate inside, which cannot only help users organise and store their collections expediently, but also dramatically inspire users’ interests and self-determination while learning traditional culture heritage sources.
