What makes a place special? Research on the locality of cities in the Yellow River and Rhine River Basins based on Street View Images

Globalization and urbanization have caused unprecedented impacts in local identification and cultural protection, and rivers that cross administrative boundaries have attracted attention in the protection of local cultural heritage, resource integration and mobilization. This study selected several cities in the Yellow River Basin and the Rhine River Basin as examples, using street view images, combining locality theory with computer vision analysis methods, and proposing a framework for quantitative research on locality expression. Then the generation mechanism of the local characteristics was discussed. The results show that the cities in the two countries show significant differences, whereas some cities in the basin are similar. The images of the ‘Built Environment' and ‘Social Life' are more conducive to identifying the cities. The construction qualities of ‘Remains' and ‘Water' are the key built environmental factors for the coexistence of locality differences and similarities. The protection of historic buildings and less manual intervention in the water environment are of great significance to the local shaping of German cities and have reference value for developing Chinese cities. The research responds to the homogenization of the urban landscape, the symbiotic relationship between cities and water, and sustainable development in river basin cities.

Research on comprehensive treatment of historical building engineering

The protection and effective use of historical building projects is of great significance for improving and effectively allocating environmental resources, preserving the essence of urban culture and historical context, and enhancing the soft power and comprehensive competitiveness of the city. At present, the protection of historical buildings needs a lot of funds and folk forces. In terms of investment and financing, government capital is still the main body of investment, and social capital has not been fully mobilized. In order to protect urban buildings and environmental resources, it is necessary to integrate various funds and technologies to promote the full protection of environmental resources.

Discrete-element analysis of floor influence on seismic response of masonry structures

Traditional masonry buildings are highly vulnerable to earthquake loading and their dynamic response is strongly influenced by the in-plane deformability of the timber floors and the quality of the wall-to-floor connections. Understanding the behaviour of timber floors and roofs and their interaction with masonry walls is therefore fundamental for the protection of historical buildings. In a previous research project, different timber-based dry-connected strengthening solutions for timber floors were tested under in-plane loading. The experimental results showed a significant increase in shear strength and stiffness. In the current study, the discrete-element method (DEM) was used to model a simple masonry structure and evaluate the effectiveness of strengthening solutions to avoid triggering first-mode mechanisms, namely out-of-plane collapse of masonry walls. The structure was stressed by seismic ground accelerations. The unreinforced and reinforced floors were modelled with non-linear springs that reproduced their experimental hysteretic response. Parametric analyses were performed, changing the geometry of the structure and the masonry wall thickness. The comparison highlighted the effectiveness of the proposed wood-based strengthening solutions for reducing out-of-plane displacements of masonry walls, potentially matching the performance of rigid floors.

ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN UKRAINE

The article focuses on the problems of public management of cultural heritage sphere in Ukraine, including challenges of heritage management in museums and cultural reserves. Te main aim of this paper is to identify the problems and challenges of cultural heritage management in Ukraine that require reform in the first place. The main conclusion of this article is that Ukraine urgently needs to reform such areas of cultural heritage managementas: functioning of the registration and information database on cultural heritage, ensuring effective protection of historical buildings, their surroundings and landscape, solving land use problems and conflicts with businesses, improving the technical conditions of historical buildings and surrounding infrastructure, significant reform of managementof museums and cultural reserves. All these measures should be supplemented by ensuring that state autorities respond quickly to violations of laws on the protection of cultural heritage and that punishment for violators of the law is unavoidable. Without these measures, the risk of losing a large number of cultural heritage sites in Ukraine today is very high.

Impact of the heritage building façade in small-scale public spaces on human activity: Based on spatial analysis

The quality of human life has been increasingly a significant concern, where the public space environment is one of the critical influential factors. The location with historic buildings has been an attractive destination for people to enjoy outdoor activities. Moreover, the building façade, being the boundary element of the public space, plays an important role in deciding human outdoor activities. Whilst many studies focus on building materials, structure, energy consumption and human attitude towards building façade in public spaces, limited studies have been conducted to analyse the influence of the small-scale public space historic building facade on human outdoor activities. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether the façade of historical buildings in small-scale public spaces causes people to aggregate. This study was conducted in the Donglu campus of Yunnan University, Kunming, China. A comprehensive analysis of façade characteristics (e.g. age, structure, materials) of historical buildings, combined with the questionnaire survey data of facade preference of buildings was conducted in this campus in May 6–12, 2019. The method of spatial statistical analysis was adopted to analyse the relationship between historical building façade and human behaviour. The results show that human preference exhibited an aggregation phenomenon, demonstrating that the human behaviour could be influenced by the façade characteristics of historical buildings. The peculiar building façade (e.g. Huize Hall, Zhigong Hall) could attract more human attention, in which architectural style and decoration played a vital role. Nevertheless, the historic building's long history and cultural inherence also affected human preferences. Such results help to improve the protection and use of historical buildings in public spaces, enhance the understanding of impacts about historical buildings on human behaviour, and provide a reference for new building façade design with the consideration of human outdoor activities.

Legal Determinants of Participation of Residents of a Commune in Protection of Historical Monuments and Buildings

Protection of historical monuments and buildings is a government’s and local-government’s task. Participation of local government units in its implementation is crucial. At the level of a basic local government unit, protection of historical monuments and buildings is carried out by means of the possibility of establishing a cultural park which is one of the forms of protection of historical monuments and buildings. The legislator determined the process of establishment of a cultural park in detail and vested the activities initiating this process in the commune council. At the same time, it adopted regulations enabling inclusion of stakeholders in the works on establishing a cultural park. This study aims to analyse legal solutions guaranteeing commune residents real participation in the process of establishing a cultural park. On this basis an attempt will be made to answer the question whether applicable regulations, in the investigated scope, encourage members of self-governing communities to get involved in public affairs or whether they refer to the model of a resolution-making procedure in which the legislator unilaterally imposes obligations on and grants powers to entities under the law.

Study on the early warning mechanism for real-time monitored structural responses of a historical timber building

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is of great importance for the preventive protection of historical buildings. Real-time monitoring and early warning of the structural response have advantages of timeliness and early detection of abnormal structural conditions. Feiyun Wood Pavilion, a historical timber building in China, was taken as the object to study the early warning mechanism for real-time monitored structural responses. An early warning mechanism for historical timber building has been presented under different data accumulated time. The early warning thresholds of structural responses based on statistical and extreme value analysis of the accumulated monitoring data are proposed. Early warning for substructure of the building is realized by data fusion based on the efficiency coefficient method. The effectiveness of the proposed mechanism was verified by real monitoring data. The proposed mechanism gives an early warning solution of the SHM that can be references for existing and other historical buildings.

Non-Invasive Identification of Vulnerability Elements in Existing Buildings and Their Visualization in the BIM Model for Better Project Management: The Case Study of Cuccagna Farmhouse

Due to the conjunction between the European and African plates, complex tectonic phenomena take place in the Mediterranean basin. These phenomena cause more or less violent seismic resentments in the countries facing the basin itself. The diffused built historical heritage, characteristic of villages in the Mediterranean countries, is the most vulnerable toward seismic action, and in case of a catastrophic event can cause the loss of human lives. In Italy, the protection of historic buildings is a significant issue, and many regions promoted policies to ensure the safety of the diffused built heritage. Research groups work in synergy to develop procedures for the vulnerability assessment of existing buildings and to define appropriate action plans. This research presents a little or not at all invasive procedure for investigating vulnerability. This procedure is easily replicable and able to support techniques already in use with innovative aspects such as laser scanning of the entire complex and visual identification of vulnerable elements through the BIM (building information modeling) methodology. The procedure applicability is shown in the study of a Milanese farmhouse that has been financed by Fondazione CARIPLO, Bandi 2017 Arte e Cultura-Beni culturali a rischio, Project PRE.CU.R.S.OR.

Analysis of Dynamic Response and Fatigue Life of Masonry Pagoda under the Influence of Train Vibration

Taking Liangxiang Pagoda built in Liao Dynasty in Beijing as the research object, the vibration responses of the pagoda in the east‐west direction and south‐north direction under the action of trains on the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway Line and microseism were tested. On this basis, a numerical model was established by using ANSYS to further calculate the dynamic response of the pagoda, and the safety and integrity of the pagoda were evaluated based on existing standards. Cumulative fatigue damage theory was introduced to predict the remaining fatigue life of Liangxiang Pagoda. The following conclusions have been drawn: in the two directions mentioned above, the natural vibration frequencies of the pagoda of the first three orders are similar; the 1st‐order vibration modes in the plane are bending, and the vibration modes of the 2nd and 3rd orders are shear‐bending; under the action of trains, the peak vibration value of Liangxiang Pagoda at the position that bears the maximum load is 0.053 mm/s, which has a little impact on the safety and integrity of the pagoda; under the combined action of gravity and trains, the remaining fatigue life of Liangxiang Pagoda is 5.26 × 107 times. The research method used in this paper can provide data and scientific support for the protection of historical buildings, as well as the basis for the follow‐up research of the studied ancient pagoda.

STUDY ON THE SURVEY, IDENTIFICATION CRITERIA AND TOOL SYSTEM OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS SUPPORTED BY THE TECHNOLOGY OF GIS

Abstract. Historical architecture is of great significance to the continuation of urban historical context, and it is an important part of cultural heritage. The general survey and identification of historical buildings is the basis and support of the protection and utilization of historical buildings. However, the existing working methods and technical means are relatively backward, it can not reflect and record the value characteristics and basic information of historical buildings truly and completely. These backward means have led to the inefficiency of the general survey and identification of historical buildings, which has also led to the fact that the results of the general survey can not be digitized and difficult to refer to. This paper analyzes the problems existing in the traditional methods of general survey and identification of historical buildings, and constructs the basic technical support of the general survey and identification of historical buildings from the aspects of general survey and identification standard system, investigation and data processing tool system, operation guidance system and so on, which is based on the technical requirements and the secondary development of GIS, taking the general survey and identification of historical buildings in Beijing as an example. It is hoped that this paper can convey our thinking and research results to our professional colleagues. In addition, we look forward to the promotion and application of this method, so as to promote the protection and management of cultural heritage towards comprehensive data.
