Wykorzystanie elementów dziedzictwa kulturowego i tożsamości lokalnej a jakość przestrzeni publicznej na obszarach wiejskich w Polsce

Celem pracy jest wskazanie powiązań między wykorzystaniem elementów dziedzictwa kulturowego i tożsamości lokalnej a jakością projektów przestrzeni publicznych realizowanych na terenach wiejskich. Badanie, przeprowadzone przez autorkę na próbie 231 inwestycji, które zostały dofinansowane ze środków Unii Europejskiej na operację pod nazwą „Kształtowanie przestrzeni publicznej”, w ramach działania „Podstawowe usługi i odnowa wsi na obszarach wiejskich” objętego Programem Rozwoju Obszarów Wiejskich na lata 2014–2020, wykazało, że polska wieś jest miejscem rozwoju ogólnodostępnych funkcji sportowych i rekreacyjnych, jednak przeważnie w przestrzeniach o niskim stopniu innowacyjności, schematycznych oraz niewykorzystujących swoich lokalnych potencjałów i tradycji. Jednocześnie analiza projektów zrealizowanych w ramach Programu potwierdziła, że podkreślenie tożsamości lokalnej i historii danego miejsca jest związane z innowacyjnym podejściem do projektowania ruralistycznego, a w efekcie może oddziaływać na holistyczną ocenę i walory danej inwestycji. Wykorzystanie elementu genius loci stanowi czynnik, który w istotnym stopniu wpływa na wartość przestrzeni publicznej, pozwala na zachowanie odrębności oraz wspiera rozwój poszczególnych miejscowości w Polsce. Wyniki badania sugerują, że odwołanie do elementów dziedzictwa kulturowego i tożsamości lokalnej może przyczynić się do odwrócenia negatywnych zjawisk obserwowanych w fizjonomii obszarów wiejskich w ostatnich latach, takich jak typizacja form architektonicznych narzucająca powszechną unifikację, a także odcięcie od lokalnych zwyczajów i tożsamości miejsca.

Методика дослідження та пропозиції використання елементів нематеріальної культурної спадщини України для цілей туризму

Elements of intangible cultural heritage have relatively recently entered the structure of the potential of tourist resources. The complex nature and essence of the very elements of the intangible cultural heritage require the development of special methods for their research, based on the options for the possible use of these elements. In the study of intangible cultural heritage, the socio-geographical approach plays an important role. It is noted that it is more expedient to build the study of intangible cultural heritage on the basis of a component approach (which involves the consideration of intangible cultural heritage, on the one hand, as an integral part of cultural heritage in general, and on the other hand, as a component of the historical and cultural resources of a certain territory, a destination of a tourism region), as well as on the bases of a territorial approach. An algorithm for the socio-geographical study of intangible cultural heritage is proposed, which distinguishes three successive interrelated stages: preparatory; analytical and generalizing; recommendatory, each of these is divided into substages and carefully described. The place of objects of intangible cultural heritage in the historical and cultural potential of the territory is described. Among the many specialized types of tourism, the most expedient is the development of such types as: cultural and educational, rural, industrial, gastronomic, ethnographic, event (festival), religious, artistic, which contribute not only to the preservation and promotion of intangible cultural heritage, but also to the development of local economic potential and intercultural understanding. The proposed methodology for studying the elements of intangible cultural heritage is one of the options for conducting research on this topic, that in each case will need to be supplemented and refined, however, at the present stage, it can serve as a solid basis for starting and activating such research. The provided list of thematic types of tourism can also be elaborated on the basis of the use of objects of intangible cultural heritage, does not claim to be exclusively complete and can be expanded and supplemented, opening up prospects for further research in this direction.

Our Cultural Heritage from Past to Present: Investigating Cultural Elements of Turkish Islamic Architecture in Social Studies Course

Human beings are an important element of cultural heritage. Because human beings have both contributed to the development of art and architecture with the architectural structures they have built and reflected their aesthetic understanding on their own architectural structures. After the Turks accepted Islam, they built many architectural works in Anatolia, the Balkans and the Middle East and contributed to the development of art and construction activities in these regions. In the light of this rich cultural background, this study aims to reveal the impressions and reflections in the social studies textbooks taught in schools. In this study, document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The data of the study consisted of 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade social studies textbooks taught in Secondary and Imam Hatip Secondary Schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the 2022-2023 academic year. Descriptive analysis technique was used to analyze the research data. According to the results of this study, it is seen that the subjects belonging to Turkish Islamic architecture are included at least in the 4th grade social studies textbook and mostly in the 6th and 7th grades. It was determined that the most common type of architectural structure was historical houses. Then, it was determined that the names of architectural types such as historical fountains, historical mosques, tombs, palaces and hospitals were mentioned. As can be understood from these results, the fact that examples of Turkish Islamic architecture are presented in social studies textbooks and introductory information is evidence that the understanding of Turkish Islamic art is not ignored. In addition, textbooks can be enriched with activities to develop children's cultural awareness of Turkish Islamic architecture.

The Leningrad Rock Club in St Petersburg: From Memory to Cultural Heritage

Over the last 30 years, the popular musical past has become a subject of interest for researchers in many social sciences and the humanities, from cultural geography and cultural sociology to urban studies and public history. Popular music is regarded not only as a significant part of national and regional cultural history, but also as an important element of the urban cultural heritage. The revision of both the content and the very concept of cultural heritage is associated with large-scale changes in the humanities and social sciences that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century and influenced the transformation of historical politics in many cities, regions, and countries. In Russia, a diverse and rich musical past, related to the history of late Soviet popular and rock music, has only recently begun to be studied and represented in the urban space. The article discusses the ways of authorising the musical heritage associated with the history of the Leningrad Rock Club in contemporary St Petersburg. The research is based on field data collected in 2020–2021: in-depth and spontaneous interviews with musicians participating in the Leningrad Rock Club, rock journalists, employees of the Pushkinskaya, 10 Art Centre and the Kamchatka Rock Club-Museum, and field observations during guided tours of rock-related places in St Petersburg and exhibitions dedicated to the history of Leningrad rock. The author proposes to consider the urban musical heritage in St Petersburg self-authorised. The examples studied in the article are initiatives of the predominantly St Petersburg rock community of musicians, journalists, and city activists. Its key forms are excursions, installation of memorial plaques and signs, temporary exhibitions, and opening of a museum dedicated to the history of Leningrad rock music based on the Pushkinskaya, 10 Art Centre. Despite the traditional format of representing the memory of the musical past, the organisers do not seek to designate the musical places of modern St Petersburg in terms of “authorised heritage discourse” but gravitate toward a less formal conversation and representation of this past.

Research on the Design of Cultural and Creative Products Based on Lingnan Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract Lingnan Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) has a long history and contains rich and unique regional culture, which can provide new thoughts and ideas for cultural and creative product design. In this paper, firstly, the cVAE-GAN network model is utilized to extract the features of the modeling symbols of Lingnan intangible cultural heritage, which helps to obtain the modeling symbols of Lingnan intangible cultural heritage for cultural and creative product design. Secondly, the HSV color space model realizes the refinement of the color elements of Lingnan intangible cultural heritage, which promotes the application of color diversity in the design of Lingnan cultural and creative products. Then, the two methods are combined with artificial intelligence technology to construct the Lingnan emotional interactive cultural and creative product design framework, which enables the computer to integrate the designer’s design emotion on the basis of learning modeling and color and promotes the enhancement of the emotional value of Lingnan non-heritage cultural and creative products. Finally, to verify the effectiveness of the method described in this paper, a relevant test analysis was conducted. The results show that when the computational order is more than 60 orders, the cVAE-GAN network in this paper extracts the styling symbol features in only about 115ms, the PSNR improvement of the HSV color space model under different color blocks is more than 2dB, and the RSD of H-channel can be found to be in the range of 0.5% to 5.0% after performing color noise removal. Carrying out the cultural and creative product design of Lingnan intangible cultural heritage in the era of artificial intelligence needs to be more clear about the shape and color of the intangible heritage and fully combine with the designer’s emotion in order to make the Lingnan intangible cultural and creative products revitalized with new vitality.
