Silk road heritage: The artistic representation of port trading culture in the images of characters in Qing Dynasty Guangzhou export paintings.

As customized artistic commodities, export paintings mirrored Guangzhou's unique overseas trade culture and social power in a microscopic view, nevertheless, few researchers have delved into the cultural relationship between the use of the painting techniques and the characters of the export paintings. Based on an iconographic approach, this article aims to analyze the historical iconography information of the Qing dynasty export paintings from the perspective of the trade development and cultural exchange between the East and West during the 18th century by the study of the export paintings' characters expressions and costumes colors, providing insights into the exploration of the value of tangible cultural heritage. In the process of our research, shows that: 1) the dominant laboring characters in the export paintings present standing postures, and most of them demonstrate negative emotions; 2) many of the characters of the export paintings show high similarities due to the assembly-line mode of painting during manufacture; 3) the portrayal of the characters in the export paintings reflects a return of a sense of humanity. This is evident in the fact that the subject of the paintings abounds in the scenes showing local folklore, working views, and daily life in Guangzhou. Meanwhile, the characters in the painting are vividly portrayed in a realistic style. The use of mixed colors on the costumes of different characters reflects a universal value of having regard for the equality of all men; 4) Guangzhou export painting decorative art evolution of the development of the dual development of Chinese and Western fusion of veins.

Understanding values in summer farm tourism

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the main drivers behind summer farm tourism and the elements of summer farms and the summer farm experience that create value for tourists. The study contributes to the conceptualization of summer farm food consumption. By combining concepts used in the analysis of rural tourism, such as postmodernity and cultural heritage, with the hospitality-oriented Five Aspects Meal Model, we offer a new avenue to understand the drivers behind summer farm tourism. Empirically, the study contributes by bringing a hospitality perspective into research about rural tourism, thus offering new avenues for future research. The results show that intrinsic and extrinsic values (e.g. product-specific and non-product-specific characteristics) of summer farm products, along with a welcoming atmosphere, aspects related to the cultural and biological heritage of summer farms, the scenery, and the possibility of encountering real-life animals, are appreciated elements in creating consumer and tourist value. Tourists appreciate the simple rural experience and wish to preserve the cultural heritage embedded in summer farms. Furthermore, traditional elements of hospitality are highly conditioned by postmodern and cultural heritage values.

The Role of Cultural Heritage in The Development of Tourism and Some Cultural Industries in Vietnam

Many nations now view the cultural industry as a significant role in the country's cultural life and as a vital economic sector supporting sustainable development.

설화의 무형유산으로서 자질과 자격

The eligibility of a folktale as intangible cultural heritage stems from the qualities it possesses. Therefore, examining whether a folktale exhibits the characteristics of intangible cultural heritage is crucial in determining its eligibility for such status. First, I will organize the qualities of a folktale, especially those that can be related to intangible cultural heritage. A folktale has its own specific qualities in that it is an oral art, a remembered history, and a resource for the imagination of narrative. These unique qualities of a folktale are complete in themselves, but they are directly connected to whether it can acquire legal qualifications as a national cultural heritage. Article 2 (Basic Ideology) of the National Cultural Heritage Basic Law explicitly states the ideological value of a national cultural heritage, and in relation to this, a folktale is in perfect accordance with the following basic ideology as a national cultural heritage. 1) A folktale is the root of our lives. 2) A folktale is the source of creativity. 3) A folktale is an asset of all mankind. 4) A folktale preserves and enjoys the value of a national cultural heritage. 5) Tales can be creatively inherited and developed. 6) Tales enrich life. In addition, among the seven categories divided in Article 2 (Definition) of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Act, tales are the most applicable to “oral traditions and expressions,” so there is no reason why they cannot be designated as intangible cultural heritage. Tales, a type of oral literature, have suffered damage due to our society’s focus on written language. This may be why the importance of tales as remembered history has been overlooked or underestimated compared to recorded history. Not only that, the performance element of tales being told orally has also been underestimated, and they have been treated as a type of narrative prose. In addition, the basic attribute of tales, variability, is not a weakness as art, but rather an area that can greatly contribute to the utilization of national heritage in that it enables infinite creativity. Moreover, in terms of overcoming the limitations of modern literature that focused on probability and leading the postmodern pursuit of improbability, folktales are fully qualified as a national heritage that can become the darling of the times.

국가무형유산 범주로서의 '구전 전통 및 표현'에 대한 검토와 적용

There are 160 items designated as national intangible cultural heritage in South Korea, which can be classified into seven designation categories, however, not a single item has been designated in the category of “oral traditions and expressions.” The National Heritage Administration has recognized the need for new designations in this field and commissioned a two-year project. I criticize this as reflecting a lack of understanding of the “oral traditions and expressions” category and, furthermore, of the designation categories. Since intangible cultural heritage has diverse and three-dimensional characteristics, it is often not possible to limit it to a single category. The designation category is a detailed description of the scope of designation, and intangible cultural heritage can actually have multiple categories. Therefore, classifying intangible cultural heritage into a single category can generate many criticisms. Even UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, which has greatly influenced our efforts, selects multiple designation categories (domains) and does not recognize them as affiliated departments. We also point out that using this designated category as a classification and publicizing it as-is can cause the general public to misunderstand a heritage item. To address this criticism, I examined the historical evolution of Korea’s designated categories. “Oral traditions and expressions” is a category that was created in 2016 under the influence of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage system. Therefore, I explored how this category is used in this system and what heritage actually exists in “oral traditions and expressions.” Currently, 37 of the national intangible cultural heritages are “oral traditions and expressions.” However, these heritages are not limited to “oral traditions and expressions,” but have a complex nature. On the other hand, one thing that cannot be limited to “oral traditions and expressions” is “story culture,” or folktales. There is no room for discussion about the intangible cultural heritage value of folktales and the need to designate them as national or provincial intangible cultural heritages. However, when looking at the criteria of the existing intangible cultural heritage policy, several issues regarding the designation of folktales arise that are discussed.

Wayang-based digital storytelling: a project to promote students" collaborative and digital literacy skills

Indonesian Wayang is a cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO that must be preserved and passed toward future generations. One of the efforts to maintain wayang existence is through the insertion within educational field by the help of technology and animation in the form of digital storytelling. This research is aimed at exploring the implementation of wayang-based digital storytelling project at an Indonesian school which combined art, culture, skills, character education, cultural heritage values and global knowledge. The researchers applied narrative inquiry design in order to investigate and have in depth exploration toward the implementation of wayang-based digital storytelling within the researcher’s classroom. After having the analysis and reflection toward teaching and learning process as well as teaching documentation, it is concluded that the wayang-based project is potential to help students in addressing cultural challenges. Through the wayang media applied, the young generation know and increase their awareness to preserve the local cultural heritage. Further, the implementation of project in group using technology integration is concluded to be effective to enhace students’ collaborative, communicative, and ICT literacy which is very important in the 21 century era. Moreover, the topic which was close to socio environmental issues is expected to raise students’ awareness to be active individual to protect the surroundings. In conclusion, the application of wayang-based project within the classroom is effective and potential to strengthen Profil Pelajar Pancasila character stated in national curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka).

Cityscapes of Hunting and Fishing: Yoruba Place-Making and Cultural Heritage for a Sustainable Urban Vision

Literature on African urbanism has generally lacked insight into the significant roles of hunters and fishers as city founders. This has resulted in a knowledge gap regarding the cultural foundation of the cities that could enhance policy frameworks for sustainable urban governance. This article examines corollaries related to the complementarities of hunting and urbanism with case studies from the ethno-linguistic Yoruba region in southwestern Nigeria. Through qualitative methodologies involving ethnography and the (oral) history of landscapes of hunting from the pre-colonial and (British) colonial periods, as well as tracing the current cultural significance of hunting in selected Yoruba cities, the article reveals data that identify hunters and fishers as city founders. It shows that hunting, as a lived heritage, continues to be interlaced with cultural urban practices and Yoruba cosmology and that within this cultural imagery and belief, hunters remain key actors in nature conservation, contributing to socio-cultural capital, economic sustainability, and urban security structures. The article concludes with recommendations for strategies to reconnect with these value systems in rapidly westernizing urban Africa. These reconnections include the re-sacralization of desacralized landscapes of hunting, revival of cultural ideologies, decolonization from occidental conceptions, and re-definition of urbanism and place-making in light of African perspectives despite globalization. In doing so, the article contributes to a deeper understanding of the interconnections between the environmental and societal components of sustainability theory, agenda, and practice in urban contexts; underscores the societal value of lived heritage, cultural heritage, and cultural capital within the growing literature on urban social sustainability; and sheds more light on southern geographies within the social sustainability discourse, a field of study that still disproportionately reflects the global northwest.

Evaluation of silk industrial heritage value based on IAHP, D-S theory and mixed decision model: the case of Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou in China

ABSTRACT A comprehensive understanding of the diverse value of industrial heritage is a prerequisite for preservation and reuse. After studying the composition and evaluation methods of the value of world cultural heritage, this paper puts forward a mixed decision model based on the combination of interval analytic hierarchy process, expert clustering ranking weighting method, fuzzy set and D-S theory. Firstly, an evaluation system that can describe the value of modern silk industry heritage in Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou area is established, which reflects comprehensiveness and particularity. Then, the interval analytic hierarchy process and expert clustering ranking method are proposed to calculate the weight of various indicators in the evaluation system, which can effectively reduce the influence of subjective experience and extreme experts on group decision-making. In addition, the fuzzy set theory and D-S theory are used to calculate the protection grades of several modern silk industrial heritages, and compared with the actual protection grades recognized by the state, which verifies the scientificity and effectiveness of the mixed decision-making model. Finally, the results show that the mixed decision model can accurately calculate the protection level consistent with the reality, demonstrating high feasibility and providing new ideas for the future evaluation of industrial heritage values.

Re-designing demolished Cultural Heritage. A study of a thin shell design for earthquake-destroyed churches in Finiq municipality

This scientific study involves the methods for the design of thin shells on top of cultural heritage buildings that have already collapsed in the municipality of Finiq. The studied object is an orthodox church in Finiq municipality, in Leshnica e Sipërme village. Its roof has already collapsed because of an earthquake and the degradation of the mate- rial. However, the dominant part of the structure, such as walls and columns, is still standing, even though need reinforcement. The maximum span of the roof is long enough to justify the use of a thin shell structure. This study tries to find an elegant solution to this problem, which combines structural beauty with the efficiency of the design and building process, defined as important aspects of a good structural design. The methods proposed for the reconstruction of the existing part of the church are the restoration methods used for monuments in Albania. The propositions take into consideration the state of degradation of each structural element. The primary goal for the reconstruction of the reinforcing elements is that they will not affect the primary function of the building and to restore and keep the cultural heritage values of the object. The pre-design of the roof is made using non-linear analyses. The shape of the new roof and its thickness are chosen to use the Hanging Model Analysis, the Sanders-Koiter equations, the Membrane Theory and a buckling analysis using the software Karamba. The designing of rigid joints, which connect the roof with the other part of the structure, is made so that the entire structure could work and behave as one, while it is loaded during its lifespan. The shell is designed as a pre-fabricated one using UHPC material and divided into panels with rigid joints between them. The analysis and validation of the design of the structure is made with the Load Capacity Analysis in the Ultimate Limit State of it using the software Karamba. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of recovering the already degraded cultural heritage structures and the role that technology can play in ensuring the integration of the old part of the structure with the new one.

The contribution of stakeholder engagement to cultural significance assessment: the case of values-based conservation management planning for the Ocean Swimming Pool, Portugal

IntroductionValues-based approaches are among the best practices for management and conservation planning. However, cultural significance assessments (of the attributes and values of cultural heritage) have generally been performed by experts (top-down) instead of including expert and nonexpert communities (top-down and bottom-up).ObjectivesThis paper presents a multitechnique approach in which different strategies are applied to assess the perceptions of cultural significance held by several actors (users, managers, staff, experts, children, students, virtual community) within the framework of the Keeping It Modern Grant awarded by the Getty Foundation (2020–2023) for the Ocean Swimming Pool (1960–1966) designed by Álvaro Siza in Matosinhos, Portugal.MethodInterviews, surveys, social media analysis, and workshops with children, students, and experts were adopted for the method, and, whenever possible, the ‘Imagine Ballarat’ Love, Change and Imagine questions were utilised as a resourceful instrument for assessing the significance attributed by multiple stakeholders.ResultsBased on the results, stakeholders’ opinions and values regarding the heritage site could be compared, which revealed the relationship between the values and the groups of actors, thereby deepening the complexity of heritage sites as National Monuments.ConclusionBy using this integrated perspective, we could define the cultural significance of a modern heritage site through an inclusive methodology while also establishing the grounds for conservation policies within a more broadly participative management of change.

The Importance Of Character Education In Instilling Pancasila Values For Millennial Generation

Millennial generation as a new generation that emerges as a pioneer of information technology development in the era of 4.0. They are called the millennial generation because they were born at the end of the 20th century (between 1990 and 2001). The millennial generation, living in the millennium era, is heavily influenced by lifestyles shaped by social media as a societal trend in the 21st century. Many potential social vulnerabilities will arise due to cultural and behavioral changes that occur in the millennium era. The widespread use of smartphones, internet access, and social media today enables quick and easy access to information, which has its benefits and advantages, but also impacts by facilitating access to negative content that affects behavior not in line with the culture and noble norms of the Indonesian nation. Character education, as a model of education that strengthens the understanding of Pancasila ideology, is essential in fortifying and equipping the millennial generation. With systematically implemented character education, it is hoped to maintain attitudes and behaviors so that they always preserve the customs, cultural heritage, and noble values of the Indonesian nation in facing the massive technological developments in the current millennium era.
