WARTOŚĆ HISTORYCZNA DZIEDZICTWA KULTUROWEGO ARCHITEKTURY DREWNIANEJ W ZIELONEJ GÓRZE

The article presents research on wooden architecture in Zielona Góra, characterizes the historical value of wooden cultural heritage, emphasises the role of the local building tradition, the categories of familiarity and originality of the architecture. It accentuates the value of the historic detail and ornamentation of the front elevations, made out half-timbered structure, and identifies the building stock of this type of architecture in the capital of the Lubusz Voivodeship. Only a few monuments are listed, which results in the slow disappearance of half-timbered houses from the landscape of Zielona Góra, as only some of them have undergone conservation and partial revitalisation.

Rytuał w wykonaniu kobiet „Radio Majdanek”

The article provides insight into the historical phenomenon of performed „radio broadcasts” conducted by the female prisoners of the Nazi concentration camp at Majdanek, Poland. Every day over a period of a few months, women played the role of radio announcers and recreated from memory the communication formulas of Polish Radio broadcasts. The prisoners associated the pre-war Polish Radio with a strong message of cultural heritage and humanist values. The re-enactment and listening of the broadcasts evoked positive emotions and stirred the imagination of the women. The „radio” united them and gave them the strength to survive the reality of the concentration camp, promoted adherence to cultural norms, brought back the works of poets and writers, and provided entertainment. The broadcasts became a ritual ordering the mental universe of the women, which gave meaning to the everyday, provided a sense of the continuity of time that confirmed the women’s identities, their sense of dignity and belonging to a community. The memory of the structure and aesthetics of an electronic broadcast gave the women a communication tool to construct and to preserve their own culture in a death camp. In the broadcasts they performed, the Polish female prisoners constructed a space where they were able to preserve their dignity and humanity.

한국 근현대 재외공관의 역사와 가치

This thesis intended to examine the ‘Korean cultural heritage value’ targeting Korean diplomatic missions overseas as the concept of ‘Korean cultural heritage’ in the ｢Cultural Heritage Protection Act｣, revised in March 2017, is expanded. During the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire, resident legations were opened and operated in the capitals of major countries such as Japan and the United States. In 1949, through the revision of Presidential Decree No. 60 “Diplomats and Consulates”, the term “Korean Diplomatic Missions Overseas” began to be used. Korean diplomatic missions overseas can be classified into diplomatic, architectural, and landmark values according to the ‘Korean cultural heritage value’. Accordingly, the author introduced the ‘Korean cultural heritage value’ of Korean diplomatic missions overseas that fit the concept of Korean cultural heritage overseas in the ｢Cultural Heritage Protection Act｣ and conducted research for the purpose of utilizing and promoting Korean cultural heritage by discovering valuable Korean diplomatic missions overseas in the future.

Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Analizi ve GZFT Analizi Entegreayonu ile Ekoturizm Stratejilerinin Önceliklendirilmesi: Masuleh-İran Çalışması

Ecotourism, unlike mass tourism, is a sustainable alternative tourism that can protect natural and cultural landscape values and historical sources of sensitive landscapes and ensures its ecological integrity. Ecotourism, which takes into account the balance of conservation and use, supports the sustainable use of resources. In this context, raising awareness of visitors and local people may lead to a decrease in urban pressure, visitor impact and environmental problems on natural and cultural landscape values that provide resources to ecotourism. Within the scope of this research, Masuleh village, which is close to the Hazar Sea, surrounded by Alborz mountains and forests, has cultural and historical heritage value and preserves its local architectural structure, has been determined as the study area. These natural and cultural landscape values of Masuleh, which was included in the list of historical heritage by UNESCO in 2007, are under threat due to the confusion of authority in the management structure. The aim of this study is to determine the ecotourism criteria that have ecotourism resources for Masuleh and to determine the ecotourism strategies that ensure the sustainability of these sensitive landscape values. In this context, a field study and literature review was carried out, and a questionnaire integrating the Best-Worst Method (HCM), which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, and SWOT (Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats) Analysis applied with local people and experts. As a result of the survey, the ecotourism criteria consisting of 4 main and 20 sub-ecotourism criteria were ranked according to their priorities, and as a result, the criterion of opportunities criteria "inclusion in the UNESCO's Historical Heritage Site tentative list" was determined as an ecotourism strategy that should be evaluated as a priority. The methods and outputs of this study can set an example in determining the ecotourism strategies of similar study areas.

HINDUISM AND ISLAMIC ORNAMENTS IN LANGGAR DALEM MOSQUE OF KUDUS

The ancient city, Kudus, Central Java, has unique sites, including ancient ornaments and walls inside Langgar Dalem Mosque. The study aims to reveal that the value of tolerance needs to be cared by every generation of Muslims in Kudus. The data were collected by interview, observation, and literature review. The study used a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data. The study showed that Langgar Dalem Mosque is a historical-cultural heritage inherited by pre-Islamic Hindus and preserved authenticity by Muslims in Kudus, as a form of the love of cultural works. There are patterns of Javanese, Hindu, and Islamic cultures that decorate the mosque's walls. However, Department of Culture and Tourism of Kudus Regency has not optimally cared for it. So, the initiative of the Mosque management board is the ancient ornaments were painted for their dull color. This could reduce their original aesthetic value and change the cultural heritage values. The ancient wall in Langgar Dalem Mosque with the meaning of cultural tolerance until now has preserved by Sunan Kudus and Moslem generation.

Cultural heritage and risk assessments: Gaps, challenges, and future research directions for the inclusion of heritage within climate change adaptation and disaster management

AbstractCultural heritage shapes our identity, delivers capacities, and exposes vulnerabilities, yet cultural heritage value and vulnerability are largely missing from conventional risk assessments. Risk assessments are a fundamental first step in identifying effective mechanisms for Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and disaster management. However, by ignoring the influence of heritage, decision makers are limiting their understanding of risk and therefore opportunities vital for building and maintaining local resilience. We present findings from a synthesis of peer‐reviewed literature from the last 15 years on cultural heritage risk assessment for primarily CCA but with wider implications for disaster management. We identify a significant lack of research examining intangible aspects of heritage and their influence on risk and resilience. Across the literature, risk assessments focus largely on exposure in isolation from vulnerability or adaptive capacity and where vulnerability is included there is no consistent definition or criterion. We highlight that the most frequently used methods have minimal engagement with local community values, experience, and knowledge relating to heritage practice and customs. Community engagement is most often associated with ‘professional experts’ rather than members of a local community. Furthermore, the Global South is severely under‐represented with a research bias towards Europe and North America. We recommend an agile approach to future assessments with the adjustment of risk tool research and development to include participatory approaches. Future climate risk frameworks must incorporate community‐scale values to understand the role of cultural heritage in relation to adaptive capacity, vulnerability, and resilience.

Building passport for the sustainable conservation of built heritage

PurposeThis research presents the development of a Building Passport for Sustainable Conservation (BPSC) as a questionnaire with a set of 23 core indicators, for a baseline assessment of heritage buildings. The aim of this tool is to identify priorities for future interventions, by recognising the contributions of heritage buildings to sustainability that should be preserved and the fragilities that need to be improved.Design/methodology/approachThe BPSC uses a selection of core indicators for sustainability observable on heritage buildings. It was applied to four different case studies of modern heritage in the Netherlands, to verify its applicability and limitations.FindingsThe results suggest that this tool has the potential to contribute to an expedite assessment, reaching consensual evaluations of priorities for sustainable conservation, while reducing the time and cost of the process, contributing to support informed redesign decisions.Originality/valueRecently, existing building sustainability assessment (BSA) tools have been adapted and new BSA tools developed for heritage buildings. Some tools target existing buildings, but seldom cover cultural significance and heritage values. Others target the after-redesign situations – aiming at assessing how sustainable the redesign is. Often BSA tools are complex and time-consuming, with extensive indicators and data requirements. The BPSC developed in this research covers the main aspects of sustainability and related heritage values, in a simpler tool for a baseline assessment.

Cultural Heritage, Sense of Place and Tourism: An Analysis of Cultural Ecosystem Services in Rural Hungary

The paper focuses on three dimensions of Cultural Ecosystem Services—cultural heritage, sense of place and tourism—and examines the relationships between them in a rural landscape context. Sense of place connects to landscapes that foster authentic human attachment, cultural heritage values and elements of local history and culture. This suggests that a sense of place cannot be considered in isolation from cultural heritage. However, cultural heritage has been relatively under-researched in the context of cultural ecosystem services, where it is defined as the tangible and intangible benefits that are derived mostly from landscapes. Researchers in rural development have highlighted the importance of sense of place and cultural heritage in both place-making and tourism development. This study explores these relationships further using three case studies from rural Hungary based on in-depth interviews with local stakeholders. The findings demonstrate that cultural heritage is an inherent part of rural place-making in Hungary and that cultural heritage values strongly shape a sense of place. Social and intangible aspects of cultural heritage are the most important for place-making, especially authentic local traditions. The findings suggest that even though a strong sense of place based on cultural heritage is a pre-requisite for tourism development, initiatives have often been more successful in strengthening social cohesion and cultural identity rather than attracting tourists.

How cultural heritage can support sustainable landscape development: The case of Třeboň Basin, Czech Republic

Sustainable landscape development (SLD) has received much attention worldwide as a concept, linking landscape and sustainability science in spatial planning, landscape design and management. Using the Třeboň Basin in the Czech Republic as a case study – a landscape characterised by an artificial system of 460 fishponds – we explore the relationship between cultural heritage (CH) and SLD and how CH contributes to landscape change for SLD. We applied a narrative review methodology acknowledging ‘diffraction’ as a way of conceptualising how multiple elements and ways of ordering co-exist, e.g. the Třeboň Basin social-ecological system. Using scientific and grey literature we examined eight narratives, spanning from CH/nature conservation, flood retention, recreation to fish/agricultural production. These narratives emerged from tracing the development of this landscape since human settlement. We found that the Třeboň Basin has largely survived as a CH landscape into the 21st century because of the established infrastructure that is linked to multiple functions, uses and values of the fishponds and surrounding landscape. These functions and uses create multiple narratives that co-exist in the Třeboň Basin and are underpinned by CH values contributing to SLD. Our study recognises three pre-conditions to this inclusivity for SLD outcomes: These are: (1) embracing multifunctionality, (2) taking a multi-level collaborative landscape governance approach, and (3) encouraging adaptive landscape planning and management. Meeting these pre-conditions can connect and support the meta goals of SLD through regional and local actions in the Třeboň Basin, and also in other global, complex and contested landscapes.

Preserving World Cultural Heritage: Social Justice and Sustainability Competencies via Socially-Oriented Interdisciplinary Education

Abstract The world’s cultural heritage (customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions, and values that signify a legacy of the history of humanity) provides identity to communities. In Mexico, the case of the World Heritage City of Xochimilco involves a sustainable agroecological system designed by its ancient inhabitants more than 500 years ago. Currently, the biodiversity and the chinampas (floating agricultural gardens) are at risk due to inconsistent government oversight and the lack of incentives for communities to carry on with the culture of agricultural production on Lake Xochimilco. Through a Challenge-Based Learning, a culturally relevant academic experience for university students was designed to involve them in preserving biodiversity while developing research and problem-solving skills. Satisfaction surveys and course evaluations indicated that this didactic methodology encouraged students to consider their connection to social justice issues and prompted them to expand their knowledge in their different disciplines. Socially-oriented experiential learning is an effective pedagogy that fosters a sense of social responsibility in students.

VIA-7 Method: A seven perceptual parameters methodology for the assessment of visual impact caused by wind and solar facilities on the landscape in cultural heritage sites

Renewable energy facilities have given rise to several conflicts due to their visual impact on the environment. This is due, among others, to their proliferation, extension, and placement, often in highly visible locations.Previous methodologies used to assess the visual impact of these facilities on the landscape do not generally consider such important aspects as cultural heritage or local values.This article gives a full description of the “VIA-7 Method”, a novel methodology with a cultural emphasis, permitting the assessment of the visual impact caused by wind and solar facilities on the landscape in the vicinity of cultural heritage sites by considering seven perceptual parameters: total cultural importance of the heritage site, facility magnitude, visual incidence, total contrast, accessibility, qualitative distance and public opinion. The application of the VIA-7 Method needs of several steps to include important values of local cultural heritage into the assessment process: delimitation of the area of study and the Area of Visual Influence, preparation of the required cartographical data, analysis of the convergent visibility of the area of study, analysis of the visual quality and visual fragility of each Zone of Potential Concentration of Observers in order to calculate the partial visual impact for each one of them, weighting each partial visual impact by the survey results and a final calculation of the total visual impact. Implementation of the VIA-7 Method brings public administrations new possibilities for decisions concerning wind and solar facilities near cultural heritage sites which would be protective with the landscape.

Repurposing and the Impact of New Facilities on the Potential Presentation of Industrial Heritage

Industrial heritage combines historical, architectural and cultural values of the context in which it is located. In order for the spatial and architectural potential of these buildings to be used even after the loss of their initial purpose, the previous plants become the hub of new activity through repurposing and adjustment. This study is focused on the interpolation of hotel and business/trade activities within the previous industrial complex Belgrade “Steam Mill” where the practical issues related to the implementation of this entire process have been presented by means of a detailed analysis (case study). Repurposing of the old plant has been accepted as an evolutionary model of integrative protection. This paper names the shifts in the social and economic context of ex-Yugoslavia and adoption of new economic and cultural patterns as one of the causes for the abandonment of the Mill and its fall into disrepair. Accordingly, the contribution of this paper is based on an overview of a potential identification of a specific model for future actions in similar situations and in relation to the industrial heritage of the Republic of Serbia. The critical analysis of the results of Steam Mill repurposing presented in this paper implies the reviewing of both positive and negative aspects of the said process with the aim of understanding the significance of appropriate planning and use of future facilities in relation to the protection and promotion of cultural heritage values of general interest.

PHMG-KH560 as antifungal and reinforcement media for paper materials

Improving the strength decrease caused by fungal metabolites is still an arduous task in the field of paper materials protection. A set of damaged Kangxi Dictionary from Qing Dynasty was chosen as samples in this work. The main goal of this work is to develop high-efficiency and eco-friendly media with the characteristics of antifungal and reinforcement, to preserve paper materials and continue the historical and scientific research value of cultural heritage. PHMG as an efficient antifungal was used in this work. For better behavior, the epoxy group of KH560 can be induced by the amino group in PHMG by ring opening reaction to form PHMG-KH560 colloidal complex. Spraying PHMG-KH560 on paper could establish Si-O-C bonding and increased the hydrogen bond between polymeric material and paper fibers, which simultaneously inhibited fungi and improved mechanical strength of the original paper, even after the artificial aging. PHMG-KH560 had certain antifungal activity against five fungi, such as Aspergillus versicolor, and Aspergillus Niger , and had better inhibitory effect on Cladosporium herbarum, Trichoderma viride , and Penicillium expansum . The ancient writing ink on the paper sprayed with PHMG-KH560 did not affect its visual beauty, which also indicated that the complex reagent was expected to be applied to the antifungal and reinforcement of paper materials.
