Visibility Assessment of a Historical School Building through Isovists and Visibility Graph Analysis

City image includes people's perceptions of the built and natural environments as well as the emotions and ideas the city arouses in them. In the city image, the preservation of the buildings, especially historical buildings, which carry the past cultures, meaning and structural features of the city to the present day, can be ensured by making these buildings visible and perceptible by the inhabitants. Historical buildings' visibility can facilitate the recognition and appreciation of their historical significance, thereby contributing to the preservation of the city's cultural heritage. This study aims to analyse the visibility of a historical building that holds a significant place in the urban memory and to suggest recommendations for enhancing its visibility. In this context, the viewpoints used to examine the İskenderun Beş Temmuz Primary School Historical Building’s visibility were specified by space syntax visibility graph analysis (VGA). Subsequently, the building's visibility in three different historical periods was determined by the isovists technique, utilizing these viewpoints. Based on the same viewpoints, an observational field study and a survey applied to 47 people were conducted. Consequently, it was identified that the historical building could not be sufficiently seen due to the presence of surrounding service structures, perimeter walls, and high buildings. Furthermore, this study proposed the removal of additional structures that negatively affect historical building's visibility. Additionally, a design approach was developed for new buildings and landscaping to enhance the historical building's visibility, and the efficacy of the proposed design was evaluated through isovists and VGA analyses.

지역 문화유산에 대한 스토리텔링이 도시매력성과 장소정체성 및 충성도에 미치는 영향

Purpose: Cultural heritage tourism is different from general tourism, so you can properly understand the cultural heritage when there is explanation through storytelling. Therefore, in this study, we aim to empirically study how cultural interpreters' storytelling about Gongju City's cultural heritage affects the city attractiveness, place identity, and loyalty perceived by tourists visiting Gongju City.
 Methods: For the empirical study, a survey was conducted on tourists who visited Gongsanseong Fortress and King Muryeong's Tomb, which are cultural heritage sites in the Gongju region, and experienced storytelling by cultural interpreters. A total of 182 questionnaires were used for empirical analysis.
 Results: As a result of factor analysis, storytelling was divided into education, interestingness, sensitivities, and theme nature categories, and city attractiveness, place identity, and loyalty were each classified into a single dimension. As a result of the hypothesis testing, it was found that among the components of storytelling, interestingness, sensitivities, and theme nature had a similar degree of influence on city attractiveness, while education had a somewhat lower influence. In addition, education had the highest influence on place identity, while interestingness, sensitivities, and theme nature had a lower influence than education.
 Conclusion: In the end, research has shown that storytelling about cultural heritage can increase city attractiveness, place identity, and loyalty.

Therefore, the issue of cultural heritage protection in Ukraine is actively supported by the international community in terms of resources, legislation, and organization. And the university contributes to this in every possible way with its educational activities. A conclusion was made about the continuity of the university's goals, activities, and directions for studying, preserving, and using the city's cultural heritage at different stages. Therefore, it is expedient to consider the university's cultural activities in three periods - before, during the war, and after the war.

Limas House Horizontal Proportion and Dulang Module: The Collectivism of Austronesian, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Islam in Palembang History

The development of Palembang city is progressing rapidly while traditional limas houses are increasingly rare. As a result, the local context regarding the rules for building limas has become rare and not documented. This is unfortunate considering that limas have architectural and cultural records related to the history of Palembang City, starting from the Austronesian, Hindu-Buddhist, and Taoist to the Islamic period. This study seeks to find the rules of horizontal proportion used in the construction of limas and their relation with the cultural values of society. Researchers explored the dulang,a circular container that holds plates for serving food to eight people, as the base module that builds the floor area of a limas. Data were collected from 50 limas in Palembang City, consisting of 20 four-bengkilas limas (4BL) and 30 three-bengkilas limas (3BL). The results show that 3BL is generally made with four dulang on the front and seven dulang on the side. In comparison, 4BL are built with five dulang on the semi-public side of the bengkilas, three dulang on the back, and seven dulang on the side. Furthermore, the researcher shows that this proportion rule is changed across time in line with the smaller house size. This change signifies the decline of collectivism from a concrete principle to a merely symbolic one. This decline is associated with an increase in the individual's economy and standard of living. This research has implications for efforts to standardize the Palembang limas house model for conserving the city's cultural heritage.

Dual naming as a mechanism to recognize multiple identities; Casablanca or Ad-Dār al-Bayḍā

Abstract. The primary aim of place names is to provide clear direction and reference in order to distinguish geographical entities. The Moroccan linguistic situation allows for a bilingual presentation of place names, with an Arabized version and a French counterpart that differs phonetically. On the other hand, Casablanca has dual naming, a colonial name, and an Arabic variant, which is not simply a translation that happened as a result of Arabization policies introduced after the country's independence. This study relies mainly on questionnaires, in addition to interviews, in an attempt to address the following aspects: The attitude towards the standardization of only one variant, variants and the city's cultural heritage and significance, standardization of only one variant and the accurate representation of the place, dual naming as a reminder of the multiple place histories vs. dual naming as a mere case of the language difference, and Moroccans and the etymology of the variants. The findings indicate that Casablanca shifts from a mere marker of the colonial period to an active maker of the city's heritage. Its meaning is disconnected from its historical anchorage and converted into an instrument of identity and means of historical memory. Moreover, the choice of one variant is perceived as a loss of toponymic identity, which will serve as a hindrance against the population and their relation to their past.

The Changing Memories of Jewish Budapest: Pre- and Post-Holocaust Representations of a City

Budapest was the home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the central European region before the Holocaust, and the history of the city becoming a metropolis at the turn of the twentieth century cannot be told without its Jewish inhabitants. This paper examines the scholarly established notion of the Jewish Budapest by including its modern history, literature, and the city's cultural heritage of architecture. The intersection of the several aspects establishes a conceptual framework that shows how the Jewish Budapest is considered a lively home before the Shoah, and remembered after the Shoah in a new light. The perception of Jewish Budapest presents itself as visible and invisible, and my line of investigation regards both as long as they are conveyed in the writings of Ernő Szép, Tamás Kóbor, Ferenc Molnár, Imre Kertész, and Susan Robin Suleiman. The memory of Budapest might be a colorful image turned into gray, yet eventually the artistic utterances after 1945 present the mnemonic device of a dual image of Budapest, resulting in a more complex vision.
