Sustainable Development of Ecotourism in “Altynemel” National Park, Kazakhstan: Assessment through the Perception of Residents

Protected natural areas of Kazakhstan, particularly national parks, occupy a unique role in developing ecological tourism. One way to ensure biodiversity conservation, environmental preservation, and regional sustainability is through promoting ecotourism in national parks. For the “Altynemel” National Park, ecotourism should be regarded as a priority type of tourism. The article considers the essential technologies and principles of implementation of ecological tourism in the National Park “Altynemel”. Identified and justified the uniqueness of this protected area—the equal value of natural and cultural heritage on its territory. We revealed the problems and constraints of ecotourism development in the national park and offered the ways of their solution. The article is written based on field research materials, methods of a local population survey, interviews, and focus group discussions. In this article, 201 representative families were interviewed using questions on a 5-point Likert scale, including 159 residents of the village of Basshi and 42 residents of the village of Nurym. The results show that the overall assessment of sustainability is mild in the two communities. As a result, we claim that sustainable development in the “Altynemel” National Park is far from perfect. Sustainable development in the “Altynemel” National Park could be better. In particular, tourism development’s positive economic and political impact has yet to be apparent.

Location-Based Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage Communication and Education: The Doltso District Application

Location-based Augmented Reality applications are increasingly used in many research and commercial fields. Some of the fields that these applications are used are recreational digital games, tourism, education, and marketing. This study aims to present a location-based augmented reality (AR) application for cultural heritage communication and education. The application was created to inform the public, especially K12 students, about a district of their city with cultural heritage value. Furthermore, Google Earth was utilized to create an interactive virtual tour for consolidating the knowledge acquired by the location-based AR application. A scheme for evaluating the AR application was also constructed using factors suitable for location-based applications: challenge, educational usefulness (knowledge), collaboration, and intention to reuse. A sample of 309 students evaluated the application. Descriptive statistical analysis showed that the application scored well in all factors, especially in challenge and knowledge (mean values 4.21 and 4.12). Furthermore, structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis led to a model construction that represents how the factors are causally related. Based on the findings, the perceived challenge significantly influenced the perceived educational usefulness (knowledge) (b = 0.459, sig = 0.000) and interaction levels (b = 0.645, sig = 0.000). Interaction amongst users also had a significant positive impact on users’ perceived educational usefulness (b = 0.374, sig = 0.000), which in turn influenced users’ intention to reuse the application (b = 0.624, sig = 0.000).

Strategies for the dynamic protection and utilization of traditional villages in rapidly urbanizing areas: The case of Jiangbian Village in Dongguan City of China

In recent years, along with continuous urbanization, traditional villages in rapidly urbanizing areas have encountered difficulties like “constructive destruction,” “material decay,” imbalance of the natural environment, and loss of historical culture due to modernization. Under the requirement of “comprehensively strengthening the protection and utilization of historical and cultural heritage and coordinating the protection of historical and cultural heritage with urban and rural construction, economic development, and tourism development” in the new era, it is crucial to study the protection and development of historical and cultural heritage. Since traditional villages are a living heritage, their sustainable development while respecting history is indispensable. Coordinating the relationship between heritage conservation and socioeconomic development to achieve sustainable development is currently the biggest challenge for traditional village conservation. Taking Jiangbian village as an example, based on the cultural heritage value of the village, this paper combines the traditional village with the general direction of urban development and proposes strategies of cross-regional development, linkage, and integration of surrounding resources, complementing the shortcomings of public facilities, and utilizing unused resources, so that Jiangbian Village can be actively integrated into the development of the city, the synergistic development of the village and the city can be promoted, and the dynamic protection and utilization of traditional villages can be realized, with the goal of enriching the research on the dynamic protection and utilization of traditional villages in rapidly urbanizing areas.

Cultural heritage attitudes were set as independent variables, social capital and participation activities as parameters, and cultural heritage value recognition as dependent variables, and a structural model was designed using these variables. In addition, a survey was conducted on 300 residents of Busan Metropolitan City. As a result, the cultural heritage attitude had a positive effect on the cultural heritage value recognition, and also had a positive effect on it through mediating social capital and participation activities.

Reflections on the Preservation of Tunisian Cultural Heritage in a Post-crisis Context: Between Digitalization and Innovative Promotional Techniques

Abstract The revival of the value of cultural heritage is imperative for the conservation of this asset. An anchoring between past and present is essential for any nation concerned with preserving this rich heritage, and protecting it from deperdition. A new conceptualization of the preservation of Tunisian cultural heritage in a post-crisis context integrates the role of the state as well as the private sector/NGOs and international institutions to conserve and subsequently promote this heritage. This approach tends to revive certain components of cultural heritage and to revitalize the economic sphere that revolves around it. This research focuses on the integration of digitalization and innovative techniques in order to preserve or even promote Tunisia’s cultural heritage. Qualitative research, through the combination of in-depth interviews and focus groups, was carried out with the governmental sector, private/NGOs, and foreign institutions whose aim is to promote this heritage. The combination of the results of these sectors tends to provide a pragmatic picture of the current post-crisis situation in addition to important managerial contributions. An analysis of the qualitative corpus via T-LAB Plus 2022 made it possible to identify the technologies most mentioned by the respondents.

Bridge management through digital twin-based anomaly detection systems: A systematic review

Bridge infrastructure has great economic, social, and cultural value. Nevertheless, many of the infrastructural assets are in poor conservation condition as has been recently evidenced by the collapse of several bridges worldwide. The objective of this systematic review is to collect and synthesize state-of-the-art knowledge and information about how bridge information modeling, finite element modeling, and bridge health monitoring are combined and used in the creation of digital twins (DT) of bridges, and how these models could generate damage scenarios to be used by anomaly detection algorithms for damage detection on bridges, especially in bridges with cultural heritage value. A total of 76 relevant studies from 2017 up to 2022 have been taken into account in this review. The synthesis results show a consensus toward the future adoption of DT for bridge design, management, and operation among the scientific community and bridge practitioners. The main gaps identified are related to the lack of software interoperability, the required improvement of the performance of anomaly-detection algorithms, and the approach definition to be adopted for the integration of DT at the macro scale. Other potential developments are related to the implementation of Industry 5.0 concepts and ideas within DT frameworks.

Analysis of the value of folk music intangible cultural heritage on the regulation of mental health.

This paper proposes an approach based on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) by studying the value of ICH to explore the value of the ICH of folk music on mental health and its safeguarding measures. Additionally, a questionnaire survey is conducted on the value of the ICH of folk music among college students. The Tibetan Guozhuang dance and music in the ICH are taken as the object. The students' awareness, participation, and effects on physical and mental health, emotional regulation, and stress regulation are investigated, to study the safeguarding value of folk music. The survey results reveal that in the process of participating in the folk art of Tibetan Guozhuang dance, 41.8% of the students consider it very useful for emotional regulation and stress relief, and 46.31% believe it is useful. 36.95% of the students feel that it is very useful for the development of mental health, and 49.75% think it is useful. This indicates that a total of 86.7% of the students believe that the dance is helpful to the development of students' mental health. And most of the students are in a happy mood when participating in the dance. Among them, 71.7% of the students say that they are elated, and 66.98% feel that they are excited. It illustrates that as a young group, the students are fond of folk art, but they lack the cognitive approach. Finally, the safeguarding suggestions and implementation paths are put forward in view of the existing problems of the ICH of folk music. The research can provide a research reference for the safeguarding of the ICH of folk music.

For the Better Protection of Wetland Resources: Net Value of Ecosystem Services after Protective Development of Xixi Wetland in Hangzhou, China

Wetlands are valuable urban resources and can provide various ecosystem services for cities. In order to face the continuous urbanization and market economy environment, relevant government-related management, decision-makers, and stakeholders can make objective and comprehensive value judgments and decide the fate of urban wetland resources. Our quantitative approach to the ecosystem services value provided by wetlands produced clear, direct, and persuasive monetization data. The assessment of the net value of ecosystem services (NES) provides one such method. Considering the transition of the Xixi Wetland into the Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou as an example, we first determined the calculation model of its NES. Second, we utilized the equivalent factor, contingent valuation, travel cost, and benefit transfer methods to calculate its value of ecosystem services (VES), service cost, and NES. The results are shown below. In 2016, the VES of Xixi Wetland park was RMB 16.973 billion, NES was RMB 16.938 billion, and service cost was RMB 34.8158 million. The value of cultural services was the main contributor to NES, which accounted for 99.27% of the total. Real estate appreciation, cultural heritage, and recreational value were the main contributors to its cultural service value. Third, through the scenario comparison, we concluded that the NES of the protective development model (the wetland park mode) adopted by Xixi Wetland was RMB 3.186 billion more than that of the protection model. In other words, the protective development model is more practical and sustainable for protecting the Xixi Wetland. Finally, the limitations and shortcomings of the study are summarized.

Cultural Heritage Topics in Online Queries: A Comparison between English- and Polish-Speaking Internet Users

New communication channels and methods for retrieving information can provide increasingly precise data describing how cultural heritage is perceived, protected, promoted, and shared. Many internet users search for cultural-heritage-related topics using online search engines and databases. The purpose of this study was to identify the context and frequency of cultural heritage topics in Google search engine queries. The primary hypothesis was that keywords used in Google searches related to cultural heritage would be much more diversified in English than in Polish, perhaps because Polish has many fewer internet users than English. The keywords were selected because of their frequent use in the research literature, popular science publications, and central and local government strategy documents. The research employed selected online applications. A total of 3690 keywords were collected, with 1634 (44.3%) in Polish and 2056 (55.7%) in English. The numbers of retrieved keywords were similar for all research tools, but an in-depth analysis identified certain differences in the functions of the tools. The “cultural heritage” keyword in Polish (“dziedzictwo kulturowe”) was found mostly in national, regional, and local contexts. English queries included topics related to cultural heritage protection, conservation, restoration, and management and the financial value of cultural heritage. Some queries focused on world cultural heritage. The research shows that Polish-speaking users and English-speaking ones were interested in similar phrases. Therefore, the thought processes of internet users may be independent of their language.

Tactile maps of historical gardens: method of content selection

Historical gardens are a significant part of the cultural heritage. Exploration of such gardens is an important element of education. A particular challenge is to increase the accessibility of these facilities for the people with visual impairments (PVI). Among the aids enabling PVI visiting the gardens are tactile maps. The currently used tactile maps focus mainly on orientation and mobility. They do not allow exploration of gardens as a spatial composition, taking into account their cultural values. Therefore, the aim of our study was to develop the rules for content selection of tactile maps presenting those features of gardens that decide about their value, and to formalize these rules using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). In this research we analyzed features of 15 gardens in the five garden design styles: Baroque, Renaissance, English, Romantic, and Japanese. In result, we have proposed the way of mapping of the five garden design styles in a form useful for PVI. We have defined the procedure of content selection, as well as the catalogues of elements to be mapped at different levels of details, distinguishing repetitive and unique elements of each style. Finally, we have defined the easy-to-use list of content elements of tactile maps in the five design styles. Our solutions are described in a formalized way that allows their unambiguous understanding and universal application. The proposed solutions contribute to increasing the accessibility of gardens to PVI and allow them to learn about the values of cultural heritage of such places.

Culture Content based on Traditional Culture resources in the Andong area

Using historical and cultural resources in city branding and marketing is gaining importance for local governments. Historical and cultural resources reflect daily life and culture, making them relatable and familiar to the public and offering differentiated regional cultural marketing opportunities. The need for establishing norms and methodologies for content development using cultural resources has led to the concept of digital cultural heritage and resources. Collaboration between local governments or organizations and media-specialized creators is essential for producing cultural heritage-based content that can illuminate the value of cultural heritage. The case of the Andong region demonstrates the potential of cultural heritage-based content in enhancing the value of historical and cultural resources. Keywords: Culture Content, Cultural Heritage, Traditional Culture, Andong, Knowledge, information hierarchy   &nbsp

Promoting health and wellbeing through building the relationship with build and cultural heritage

IntroductionFor over two decades, much has been written about the role of heritage buildings and historic places on individual and societal well-being. Numerous manuscripts have been devoted to study the relationship between built and cultural heritage and well-being and to decrypt their mental and physical health benefits at the personal and societal levels. Other studies have focused on the diverse types of heritage experiences that enable these health benefits, ranging from perceptions, to the individual and societal engagements through exposure, protection and conservation of historic places and environment. Social benefits encompass enhancing of collective memories and identities, sharing experiences, social interaction, creative opportunities, etc.ObjectivesThe objective of this research is to explore the relationship between personal and societal health and well-being, and cultural heritage. The main objective is to disclose international strategies and programs for assessing and promoting heritage-led wellbeing benefits.MethodsWe comprehensively reviewed the scientific literature using qualitative data-analysis methods to state, international frameworks for promoting heritage-led wellbeing benefits.ResultsOur bibliographic review revealed that there has been rising recognition that the conservation of cultural heritage is not just about the preservation of materials, but rather about safeguarding and sharing heritage for the improvement of people’s lives. According to the WHO, culture and cultural heritage are recognized as fundamental determinants of what makes personal and social lives meaningful. Consequently, many countries such as the UK and Canada, have developed people centred approaches achieved by local authorities as a means of ensuring inclusivity and diversity, so that heritage is able to contribute to people’s wellbeing. Politically, few agendas promoting wellbeing and engagement with the historic environment included guidelines of community-oriented projects and management systems that benefit people with building the relationship between people and place, while demonstrating the public value of the historic environment.ConclusionsAll professionals, at the architectural and urban level, as well as health and psychology level should have awareness about the concept of heritage-led wellbeing benefits and strategic views of the value of cultural heritage as process, as participation, as mechanism, as healing, as place and as environment to raise the planned positive effects by local authorities when promoting the perception of the role of cultural heritage in health and wellbeing.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Concrete on Campus: Material Values of Late Modern Campus Buildings

Abstract: Late modern concrete buildings that were a cornerstone of post–World War II university expansion in Australia are reaching a point where they require conservation, adaptation or replacement. Material perspectives reveal the entanglement of cultural and environmental values in managing the legacy of this building stock. The University of Queensland St. Lucia campus is taken as a case study to examine this entanglement. At UQ, the cultural heritage values of its modernist buildings are not well understood or acknowledged through existing heritage legislation. At the same time, the decarbonization agenda presents compelling reasons to keep and maintain buildings, particularly concrete ones with high embodied energy, despite the challenges presented by carbonation to the longevity of reinforced concrete as a material. In this article we explore how a material view both advances and complicates understanding of the UQ campus environment, alongside the potential for new digital tools to integrate qualitative and quantitative data and give agency to the university as an ecological custodian of its environment. Through analysis of a selection of 1960s and 1970s exposed concrete buildings, we explore how material values change the imperatives of built environment custodianship, and how energetics is changing our understanding of architectural materials such as concrete.

향토민요 <영남모노래>의 분석을 통한 문화유산적 가치에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is Eastern folk songs. It is to analyze “Yeongnam rice-planting Song” and examine it from the editorial and musical aspects, and further discuss cultural heritage values. The results of the study are as follows. First, the editorial of the local folk song “Yeongnam rice-planting Song” contains the life of that era, which occurs naturally against the backdrop of agricultural work. The detailed content is based on nature and love, which deeply represents honest emotions and local colors, and includes literary content. Second, the musical analysis consisted of a total of 80 bars of Jungmori rhythm. Repetitive melodies unique to rural folk songs appear, but exotic feelings were used, such as changing to four nights. In addition, the main characteristics were confirmed to be the appearance of a clear menaritori form in the eastern region and the fact that there are many high notes. Third, elements of pursuing aesthetic elements through regional solidarity, environmental space continuation, and artistry were discussed as cultural heritage values.

Gençlerin Somut Kültürel Miras Farkındalığı: Erasmus+ Projesi Deneyiminden Perspektifler

Kültürel miras, ait olduğu toplumdaki somut ve soyut değerli varlıkları, olayları, bilgileri yansıtan kaynaklardır. Bu mirasın çağdaş, bilimsel, yenilikçi ve sürdürülebilir yöntemlerle korunması için toplumsal farkındalık düzeyinin artması gerekmektedir. Özellikle de gençlerin kültürel miras farkındalığını ve koruma süreçlerine katılımlarını artırmayı amaçlayan faaliyetler geliştirilmelidir. Bu çalışmada, gençler arasındaki somut kültürel miras ve korunmasına ilişkin farkındalık düzeyini arttırmaya yönelik “Geçmişten Geleceğe” isimli Erasmus+ Gençlik Değişimi projesi deneyimlerini paylaşmak ve projenin amacına ulaşma/başarılı olma düzeyini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Sekiz aylık bir takvime yayılan “Geçmişten Geleceğe” Erasmus+ Gençlik Değişimi projesine, üç farklı ülkeden 43 genç katılmıştır. Projede somut kültürel miras varlıkları hakkında “neyi, neden, nasıl koruyoruz?” temalarıyla hazırlanan 14 aktivite gerçekleştirilmiş ve aktivitelere ek olarak katılımcılara anket uygulanmıştır. Projede yapılan aktivitelerin çıktıları uzmanlar tarafından yorumlanarak; elde edilen anket bulguları ise betimleyici analiz kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, proje sonunda gençlerin çoğunlukla somut kültürel mirasın tanımı, kapsamı ve sınıflandırmaları hakkında bilgi sahibi oldukları, miras varlığının korunmasının altında yatan sebep olan kültürel miras değerlerini kavradıkları, bu değerlerin en çok toplumsal farkındalık düzeyini arttırarak korunabilineceğinin bilincinde oldukları ve benzer projelere katılma eğiliminde oldukları söylenebilir. Bu sonuçlar, “Geçmişten Geleceğe” Erasmus+ Gençlik Değişimi projesinin gençlerin kültürel mirasa yönelik bilgi, deneyim, duyarlılık ve farkındalık düzeylerini arttırıcı ve koruma süreçlerine katılımlarını teşvik edici bir rol oynadığına işaret etmektedir.

The Heritage Impact Study Assessment (HIA) in the sustainable development of the Coast of Melaka

Through the strategic plan of Melakaku Maju Jaya 2035 (PSMJ 2035), the State of Melaka has implemented several modern development policies aimed at triggering the economy and increasing the state’s revenue. One of the aspects applied is the question of land development in Melaka through the introduction of the Melaka-Waterfront Economic Zone (M-WEZ) project. This development project involves the development of an area of 10,117 hectares along the coast of Central Melaka. However, the results of this development planning have directly triggered a polemic among state policy planners and the National Heritage Department, since this development involves several very sensitive issues. Among the issues that are often raised is the preservation and conservation of the heritage and history of the state of Melaka. Therefore, the writing of this article will describe the role and process of Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) as a conflict-solving tool in assessing the implications, as well as provide recommendations and mitigation measures that need to be implemented in any area to be developed, especially in the aspect of maritime HIA study, to enable both the sustainable development and maintenance of the historical heritage of the state of Melaka to move in line with development. Highlights HIA acts as a conflict-solving tool in the dispute of heritage versus development in the Melaka coastal area Methodology used in the HIA study involves local oral history (interviewing informants), scientific survey, and visual survey Artifacts found in the Melaka coastal area in this HIA study are not so significant to the state's heritage and history Developers need to be careful during the reclamation stage as precautionary measures The establishment of the Heritage Impact Assessment study is a significant step forward regarding the conservation and protection of the cultural World Heritage values

Disturbing Values: Historic Thematic Framework as a Tool to Deal with the Soviet Architectural Legacy

The value of cultural heritage is a constantly evolving and debated issue in heritage theory. While primarily the focus was on tangible qualities, intangible values gained more importance in the twenty-first century. However, in some cases, it can be complicated to evaluate the intangible values of specific artefacts with politically disturbing associations, such as Soviet architecture in a post-Soviet context. Based on a Lithuanian case study, the paper contributes to the debate on the value of Soviet architecture, focusing not on individual buildings but on broader themes. By using framework analysis as a conceptual background, the article analyzes the legacy of the Soviet past not as physical objects but as cultural references. Interpreting “cultural references” as containers of social and cultural meanings that are much broader than just the embodiment of the ideological system, the paper suggests that dissonance should not lead to the uncompromising delisting and probably the destruction of the built heritage of troublesome past. Although the article focuses on the evaluation of Soviet architecture in a post-Soviet context, the conceptual approach can contribute to the broader debate on postcolonial heritage globally.

La Convenzione UNESCO del 1972 nel XXI secolo e la trasformazione Digitale Tecnologica Antropologica, una riflessione

The changes in the world scenario undergone since the 1970s, due to the rapid technological development and progressive impacts of social, cultural and climate change, require a re-reading of the processes derived from the 1972 UNESCO Convention. The evolution of technologies applied to Cultural Heritage has significantly improved, in terms of accuracy and reliability, but has not always been generated an awareness of the value meaning of the asset. The contribution addresses the issue with an analysis of the general anthropological transformations to verify what role the Cultural Heritage values will continue to play in technologically globalized world of the 21st century. This paper intends to introduce a series of urgent reflections in order to stimulate and increase the necessary interdisciplinary and intercultural debate between the various stakeholders on the theme of safeguarding. of Cultural Heritage as a driving force for civil progress.
