How Does Cultural Planning Empower Historic District and Urban Regeneration ----Case in the China Baroque Historical Street in Daowai District, Harbin

The historical culture of the city is the unique soul of the city. Facing the situation of "one side of a thousand cities" and the commercial and cultural blocks with serious homogenization in various cities, people began to re-emphasize and think about the protection of historical and cultural blocks. For the protection and development of historical and cultural blocks, it can not only promote the development of the urban tourism economy, but also benefit greatly the urban cultural atmosphere and urban regeneration, which makes urban residents feel more involved and belonging, and participate in urban cultural activities together. Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, China, has always attached importance to urban development through cultural planning empowerment. The planning department several times, sub-plots on the Daowai Chinese Baroque Historic District for scientific overall planning led to the protection and promotion of regional historical and cultural heritage, to create a unique historical and cultural space, promoting the development of urban tourism economy, while enhancing the city's cultural heritage and cultural soft power, creating a successful model for land planning for urban development. China Baroque Historical Street with rich and unique cultural resources, is a successful case to answer how cultural planning empower historic district and urban regeneration.

Research on the Development Bottlenecks and Countermeasures of Ethnic Traditional Sports Tourism Industry in Gannan Western China Autonomous Prefecture

Currently, with the gradual realization of the goals of China's rural revitalization strategy, the national traditional sports tourism industry has rapidly developed, becoming a new format driving the growth of the sports industry. Gannan Prefecture possesses abundant natural resources for sports tourism and unique cultural resources in sports tourism, indicating the potential value of developing the national traditional sports tourism industry. However, the development of this industry is constrained by seasonality, insufficient exploration and development, poor accessibility, inadequate supporting infrastructure and services, and a lack of skilled personnel. This paper proposes various reasonable measures to address the bottlenecks hindering the development of the national traditional sports tourism industry.

주민 중심 지역문화축제와 주체성 변천과정 연구

In 2014, the Korean government and parliament enacted the Local Culture Promotion Act, creating a law to systematically promote local culture beyond the existing piecemeal laws on culture and arts. The purpose of the Act is to enhance the cultural enjoyment rights of local residents through voluntary cultural activities, thereby forming a modern community and creating added value for local competitiveness by using local culture as a resource.
 Even statutory cultural city policies based on the voluntary and original local culture of local residents have been introduced, but even now, there is a strong movement to try cultural policies and projects as economic value creation tools such as tourism and experience products from the perspective of individual leisure and welfare or art and industry. Either way, it is based on the premise that residents are passive and passive objects from the perspective of the administration or producers and suppliers, which misses the basic point that local culture is a way of life formed and shared by local members, and eventually turns into a state that claims to be a cultural city but goes against it. Not only does it not fulfill the purpose of the Local Culture Promotion Act and local self-governance, but it is also distorted into an adverse effect that harms the possibility that it could have been formed naturally due to unilateral and unreasonable intervention.
 In this study, we will analyze local cultural contents in the process of discovering and sharing local unique cultural resources with the community as a mediator as the main actors of local culture at the urban community level, and local festivals, which are the most commonly encountered, as a case study. Currently, most festivals are organized by a few people, such as the local government or an expert or agency working on their behalf, to mobilize residents to participate in the festival. In contrast to this phenomenon, this study examines the evolution of the Ulsan Residents' Representative Festival, which, until relatively recently, was organized by the residents themselves as a community feast. This study will shed light on how the festival, which was organized by the residents of Ulsan, a newly formed region in the modern era, was able to create regional harmony and unique values in the same context as the previous traditional festivals.
 This study examines the 57-year evolution of the newly created Ulsan Residents' Representative Festival in the modern era and the changes in the position of residents by system in relation to the management of the festival. By examining how residents have created a relationship with the new area, we hope to draw out what the changes in residents' identity and agency mean for Korean society and the festival today. A community and organization starts with one person, and the character of a community depends on what kind of people it consists of, so as part of communication and integration, we need to think together about how local festivals should be created and why and how residents should be reintroduced as subjects. This is because local cultural contents are rooted in local culture, and this uniqueness is accumulated and shared over time by voluntary actors.

Revolutionary exhibition and youth identity: a visitor study of the Shanghai Sihang warehouse battle memorial

ABSTRACT Revolutionary exhibitions are unique cultural resources in China, part of a ‘red’ narrative that centers the Communist Party in the country’s liberation and development. They contribute substantially to the creation of a shared national identity, yet current revolutionary exhibitions in China show too much homogenization and too little narrative innovation. Organized and curated primarily on a mechanical manner, they often lack the persuasive force needed to promote a red narrative in the twenty-first century. Through in-depth interviews with visitors at the Shanghai Sihang Warehouse Battle Memorial, this article explores how revolutionary exhibitions can tell red stories in a way that engages the public, especially younger generations. This study addresses a critical question: How can exhibitions establish and maintain connections between a country’s revolutionary history, which is based on self-sacrifice, and a globalized market economy, which is driven by self-interest?

통영연극예술축제의 브랜드 구축 방안 연구

The need for brand building is growing at local arts festivals. Therefore, this study tried to contribute to the establishment of the brand strategy of the local art festival by analyzing the brand construction status of the Tongyeong Theater Arts Festival(TTAF) as a brand myth construction model. As a result of the study, in terms of the dominant ideology, the TTAF was exposed to negative perceptions such as their own league, low artistic level, and doubts about individuality and creativity, as commonly found in other regional festivals. In addition, the desires of consumers and masses were marked by independent consumption, demand for easy and comfortable arts, and enhancement of pride and self-esteem in local culture. To overcome the cultural contradiction, the TTAF is judged to have to focus more on regional specialization and artistic level improvement using the unique cultural resources of the region. Therefore, this study specifically suggests the improvement of the brand strategy of the TTAF through the supplementation and innovation of the PR marketing strategy.

Analysis and Optimization of Internal Factors of Cultural Industry Management Based on Structural Equation Model

In recent years, my country’s cultural industry has developed vigorously and has become a new growth point of the national economy. With the introduction of a series of cultural reforms and policies to promote the development of the cultural industry, cultural enterprises have grown rapidly and are on the list. As the main carrier of a specific business format and cultural industry, cultural enterprises have made great contributions to optimizing the allocation of cultural resources, promoting employment, prospering culture, and meeting cultural and cultural needs by virtue of their unique cultural resources and talent virtues. Based on the structural equation model, this paper analyzes and optimizes the internal factors of cultural industry management. By establishing the internal factor index system that conforms to cultural industry management, the important internal factor index system is obtained, and then, it is optimized. From the reliability test results, it can be seen that the overall a coefficients of the outcome variables industrial resources (A), industrial management growth (C), and industrial development level (D) are all greater than 0.5. Except for the observation variable protection personnel (B4), the rest of the observations the coefficients of the deleted items of the variables are all smaller than the overall a coefficients, and the coefficients of each structural variable and the overall scale are all greater than 0.7, indicating that there is a strong correlation between the observed variables in each group, and the measurement results are very consistent and stable, which satisfies the structural comparison. The data requirements are reliable, scientific, and effective in theory; the weight calculation of the indicators shows that the weight of capacity growth is the largest, followed by resource development capacity, cultural resources, economic performance, social performance, and human resources; use all the data of the sample to conduct an overall analysis. In model fitting and verification, the results show that the chi-square value is 932.731, the degree of freedom is 307, and the chi-square degree of freedom ratio is 2.896, which is less than the critical value of 5, and the adaptation indicators meet the requirements. Sexuality (C) has the greatest impact on cultural industry management, followed by industrial resources (A) and resource allocation capability (B). From the parameter estimation of structural variables and various index variables, it is found that cultural industry management needs to improve the richness of material cultural resources. To start with, especially pay attention to the use of intangible cultural resources. In terms of resource allocation, development and protection must be carried out at the same time. In addition, the most important thing is to introduce talents. Financial support and preferential policy support also need to be paid attention to. In business operation, it is necessary to improve the innovation ability and operation ability, and at the same time, it is necessary to focus on the development of operation ability and industrial operation. In the operation of cultural enterprises, it is necessary to improve brand awareness and build a good reputation, so as to attract more people and go a long way.

Preserving sense of place at historic waterfronts in malaysia

Historical preservation is important to protect significant historic resources from destruction and inappropriate changes. Urban waterfronts are unique cultural resources that have its own identity, represent the lifestyle of surrounding communities. Over the years, the activities along the waterfront have changed along with city development, resulting in the loss of sense of place. In recent years, the agenda of preservation the cultural value of waterfront areas has been a research focus among the civil society and NGOs. However, in the midst of rapid development, this aspect is often overlooked and deteriorates the historical values of the place. At the same time, the quality of life of waterfront communities is also affected. This conceptual paper is a call for a set of actions to ensure that historical values at these places are protected. Through content analysis from previous literature reviews, this paper investigates how regeneration of historic waterfronts can help in preserving sense of place and improve the quality of life among waterfront communities. Findings from the literature revealed that contextual integration is important for successful redevelopment of historic waterfronts in order to preserve their sense of place.

Valorisation of Cultural Heritage in Sustainable Tourism

The paper reflects upon the models of development of cultural tourism in the city of Pula, Croatia, through cross-border international partnerships. Confronting global trends with local commitment to sustainable development, the authors set the hypothesis that heritage tourism, based on the strategic valorisation of unique cultural resources, could strengthen the identity and economy of the local community, create new jobs, increase the quality of life of local residents and the pleasure of visitors, improve the image and attract investors. The analysis of European examples of good practice indicated possible models of sustainable management and valorisation of specific categories of heritage, which could at the same time enhance the process of urban regeneration and social revitalization. The conducted research research indicated advantages of transnational cooperation in improving capacities for the sustainable use of the city’s most valuable assets: the oldest historic city core on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, the Roman monuments including the Amphitheatre, the nearby Brioni islands and the legacy of the former Austria’s main naval port with its powerful fortification system.

The Development of Textile Pattern Design using Archimedean Tiling of Jeju-Hyojemunjado- Focused on <Chung> Characters -

In the global fashion market, the need of design with national culture and its meaning appears. For this purpose, the combination between traditional cultural prototype and the contemporary technology is stressed in the creative design development. The aim of this study is to develop a modern textile pattern design by applying traditional cultural prototype as a specialization strategy of local cultural contents related to traditional culture. For this purpose, the study selected character (fidelity) among Jeju-Hyojemunjado as a traditional cultural prototype. The reason why is selected is to remind fidelity as an essential virtue in the contemporary community where the didactic meaning of has diminished. On the basis of the result of examination of symbolic meaning and formative characteristics of , modern textile pattern design was developed and suggested by applying Archimedean tilings. The study selected a strong character with drawing features among in Jeju-Hyojemunjado, made motif in the method of rotation, deformation, assembly and disassembly. Also, it has patternized into 12 Archimedean tilings(3 Platonic-tilings and 9 semi-tilings) techniques and developed and suggested modern sense of textile designs. A symbolism on fidelity, chastity and integrity was expressed in dragon, carp, shrimp, clam, and bamboo as the symbolic meanings and formative characteristics of . It was composed of unique formation of 2-layers or 3-layers of screen display which icons fish like carp, horse-head, bird, flower, plant, and constellation were appeared. Motif was extracted from it and basic repetition unit is reconstructed in the manner of rotation of line, deformation, combination, and disassembly. This repeat was used to design 12 kinds of patterns using Archimedean tilings that consisted of 3 Platonic-tilings and 9 semi-tilings. For design manufacturing tools, Adobe CS5(Photoshop & Illustrator) and TexPro Design CAD were used. In conclusion, as the study developed and suggested a textile pattern design of among Jeju-Hyojemunjado in order to construct competitive local cultural contents from traditional and unique cultural resources extracted in the traditional culture of Jeju, it demonstrated sufficient possibility for traditional cultural prototype to be used as a fashion cultural goods. Furthermore, it is expected that textile pattern developed based on traditional cultural prototype could be applied to the development of fashion cultural goods.

The Impotence Epidemic: Men’s Medicine and Sexual Desire in Contemporary China by Everett Yuehong Zhang (review)

Everett Yuehong Zhang, The Impotence Epidemic: Men's Medicine and Sexual Desire in Contemporary China. Durham: Duke University Press, 2015. 304 pp.The Impotence Epidemic: Men's Medicine and Sexual Desire in Contemporary China is beautifully written and intellectually stimulating ethnography on controversial topic that few anthropologists have examined: male and the prevalence of nanke (medicine that treats male sexual disorders) in post-Mao China. Based on over ten years of fieldwork in two major Chinese cities-Beijing in the north and Chengdu in the south-the author, Everett Yuehong Zhang, deftly shows that is much more than neurovascular event, as it is treated in Western biomedicine. Embedding the rise of nanke in the radical cultural and economic transformations that have rocked China over the last few decades, Zhang argues that the is social, gendered, and intercorporeal event (200) that reflects the unique opportunities and challenges of contemporary China.The book is divided into two parts. Part I, which includes the first four chapters, examines the rise of the in post-Mao China as the revival of individual aspiration and desire. It also contextualizes as political, state, familial, and gendered issue. Part II, which consists of Chapters 5, 6, and 7, focuses on the unique cultural resources in China that serve to regulate the flow of sexual desire. If Part I's focus is the liberation and production of sexual in China, Part II is concerned with how liberation and production are limited in culturally specific ways.Drawing on rich ethnographic data, well-structured methodologies, and insightful interpretations of China's recent social changes, Zhang debunks many popular and scholarly stereotypes about male impotence. First among these is that the impotence epidemic in post-Mao China reflects an increased incidence of impotence-it does not. In his first two chapters, Zhang provides historically contextualized analysis to explain the emergence of China's epidemic. He argues that was largely unheard of in the Maoist period because of the moral symptomatology (32) of Maoist socialism; was not considered disease since pursuing sexual pleasure was deemed morally problematic. Examined against this historical background, the appearance of the in the post-Mao era does not necessarily demonstrate Chinese men's lack of or declining manliness; rather, it signifies the de-politicizing of and the revival of individual in Chinese society. Following Deleuze and Guattari's notion of as desiring production, Zhang contends that the market economy and consumer society of post-reform China unleashed flow of that had been constrained by the Maoist regime. The simultaneous emergence of nanke suggests Chinese men's active search for medical treatment, evincing not only the legitimization of individual aspiration but also new Chinese subjectivity as the subject of desire (30). Thus, Zhang states that the could even be called a contagion of desire (15).Did the Maoist state systematically oppress Chinese people's desire? In Chapter 2, Zhang argues that it may not have been Mao's intention to discourage sexual desire, but the state achieved the effect of sexual deprivation through institutions such as the unified job assignment system, which often kept young lovers geographically apart, and workplace culture that intruded into employees' private lives, often resulting in years of long-distance relationships among married couples. Through such social structures, the Maoist state suppressed a historically specific pleasure or for (66), if not sexual itself. However, Zhang also shows that even Maoist collectivism could not completely deplete individual desire; the prohibition of intimacy and closeness ironically heightened male to search for the body visible through voyeurism (68). …

Cultural Tourism in Turkey: A Missed Opportunity

This article analyzes tourism plans and policies related to cultural tourism in Turkey. Past and current tourism plans and policy documents, as well as discourses of government officials, were content analyzed. The research findings indicate that Turkey has been positioned as more a sun, sea, and sand destination than a cultural destination. According to the State Planning Organization's Five-Year Development Plans, as well as past and current tourism plans for Turkey such as Tourism Vision 2023, cultural tourism is seen more as an alternative and secondary type of tourism for Turkey. One can claim that this is perhaps a missed opportunity for Turkey given its rich and unique cultural resources, since Turkey can offer unique, positive, and memorable cultural experiences for culture-core and culture-peripheral tourists. In order to achieve this, it is essential to symbolize and rejuvenate unique cultural resources so that innovative cultural capabilities (experiences) can be offered. In return, such original and vibrant experiences can better differentiate Turkey as a destination from its competitors. The article provides theoretical and practical implications and suggests areas for future research.

Culture-led Urban Regeneration and Community Mobilisation: The Case of the Taipei Bao-an Temple Area, Taiwan

This article aims to explore the role of community mobilisation in Taipei's culture-led urban regeneration process by analysing the case of the Bao-an Temple area. Over recent years, capitalising on cultural resources as a motor driving urban regeneration has increasingly become a central issue of post-industrial urban governance. Although previous researchers have emphasised the contributions of cultural strategies to local economic regeneration, the means to integrate unique cultural resources of local communities into urban regeneration projects still remain poorly understood. Within the debates on urban cultural strategies, this article argues that the generation and use of cultural resources in urban regeneration lie in community mobilisation and institutional support, rather than in a state-led cultural flagship approach. After examining the Bao-an Temple area in Taipei, Taiwan, this article concludes that local government needs to move beyond the instrumentalism of urban cultural strategies and to rediscover the spaces where local cultural activities and mobilisation capacities are attached. Only through understanding the relationship between place and community mobilisation will a virtuous cycle for the revitalisation of a unique and historical urban area be generated.

Recording Southwestern Rock Art Sites

Even though Southwestern rock art has been aesthetically appreciated and a number of good scientific studies have been completed, much remains to be learned from this unique cultural resource. Deficient recording has limited the study of this nonrenewable, rapidly diminishing data base. Therefore, a discussion of the types of field observations which have proven significant is offered with a goal of sensitizing recorders and encouraging perceptive observations. Photography and a number of other rock art panel recording techniques are described and evaluated. Photographic recording is emphasized as the most practical and accurate technique.
