Common values for common goods: a circular regeneration model for active citizenship

Regenerating cultural heritage implies adopting a systemic and multi-scalar approach capable of considering the characteristics and flows of relations between the different components of the system. The regeneration project can be a circular strategy to reconnect people and places, generating and regenerating material and immaterial values of cultural heritage as a ‘common good’. The research proposes a circular and participatory regeneration model, validated through an evaluative framework. It supports decision-making and assesses the multidimensional impacts of reuse, redevelopment, maintenance and management practices of the commons, at all stages of the recovery project, and with respect to emerging instances and criteria adopted in existing policies.

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. Vietnam has an affluent cultural history with diverse cultural identities and is valuable in every way. The development of various cultural industries benefits greatly from the resources provided by cultural heritages. In order to elucidate the significance of cultural heritage in the growth of particular cultural industries, such as music, film, and cultural tourism, we employ synthetic analysis techniques and field research in this article. According to the research findings, cultural heritages are becoming important resources for the growth of cultural tourism, giving travellers motivation to travel, learn, and carry out research. Cultural heritage also provides resources and inspiration for music and film production, meeting the public's needs for cultural entertainment. The article makes inferences about the value of cultural heritage; development constraints, and potential solutions for preserving and enriching cultural heritage within the cultural industry. It also provides ways to improve human resources in the fields of music, film, and cultural tourism.

Current state of tourism human resources in Bac Ninh Province, Vietnam

In recent years, the development of the tourism industry has been contributing to promoting economic restructuring, while preserving and promoting the value of cultural heritage and natural resources; creating many jobs, improving people's lives; accelerating the process of international integration, promoting the image of the country and people of Vietnam. To continue promoting the achievements of the tourism industry, it is necessary to promote all resources of the industry, approach new trends and transform appropriately in the context of the impact of the current epidemic situation. In particular, developing tourism human resources, especially high-quality ones, is a direction in line with the trend of international economic integration. Human resources play a key role in determining the success or failure of tourism businesses. However, developing a high-quality human resource team for tourism is still a difficult problem.

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.

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.

XR 기술을 이용한 공주 근대문화유산의 가치 재현과 활용

Gongju, widely known as the second capital of Baekje, boasts a variety of cultural heritages, not only from the Baekje period but also from more recent times. Among these, Modern History Street holds considerable value due to its historical significance and the stories it contains. Recently, there has been a growing interest in reproducing and preserving cultural heritage using ICT (Information and Communication Technology). This paper explores ways to reproduce and utilize Gongju's modern cultural heritage using ICT technology. The ‘ICT Realistic Content Development Project,’ conducted as a special contest by the Cultural Heritage Administration in 2021 and 2022, has helped people understand and appreciate Gongju’s modern cultural heritage through various technologies such as AR (augmented reality) and the metaverse. Digital heritage, appropriately combined with reality, can effectively promote the value and influence of cultural heritage to the public. In the process of connecting the past and the present, digital heritage can play a key role in ensuring the sustainability and accessibility of cultural heritage.

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.

Bridging the nature–cultural heritage gap: evaluating sustainable entanglements through cemeteries in urban Asia

The expanding footprint of urban Asian settlements and increasing living standards have put pressure on cemetery sites. Public health narratives and the sanctity associated with death matters in Asian urban landscapes have fed into the rhetoric of cemeteries as undesirable heritage spaces. Often lacking protection, many cemeteries have been exhumed, cleared, and relocated to allow room for new developments and infrastructure, risking the survival of this quiet element of the urban cultural patrimony. Within an Asian context, synergies between nature and cultural heritage preservation are not prevalent in major cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok. In light of increasing recognition of urban cemeteries as multi-valued sites with both natural and cultural heritage values, this paper turns to deconstructing the nature–cultural binary and the concept of entanglement to frame an investigation of collaborative interactions. A focused study on Asian urban cemeteries follows, examining existing trends and adapted mix uses and highlighting the region’s unique conservation challenges. The analysis reveals three major typologies encapsulating the region’s current nature–cultural heritage entangled preservation approaches: sustainable compromises, memories, and everyday sustainability. To conclude, the paper distils respectful alternative futures for these spaces to be better integrated into the modern textures of the cities, unlocking functional recourses to destruction or oblivion.

Heritage Resilience and Identity: Lesson from Trabocchi Coast about Climate Change Adaptation Strategies

Climate change and land use are major drivers of environmental and socioeconomic transformations in landscapes and in coastal areas. The objective of this study was to present an interdisciplinary and participatory research methodology for analysing the evolutionary process of a coastal case study, the Trabocchi Coast in the Abruzzo Region (Italy), from multiple perspectives, including climate change, technological history, conservation protocols, and social function. The goal was to assess the resilience of these coastal structures, i.e., their ability to cope and adapt to changes while maintaining their identity and recognition. The adopted approach combined qualitative and quantitative data from the meteorological analyses, literature review, and field investigations involving a participatory workshop, from which a significant portion of the analysed results presented here emerged. The results indicate that the Trabocchi Coast has undergone significant changes in recent decades, posing a serious threat to cultural heritage due to climate change (sea-level rise, coastal erosion, storms, flooding and salinisation), changes in use and mass tourism. However, these changes have also presented challenges and opportunities for coastal development, stimulating diverse resilient responses from local communities, ranging from resistance to innovation. The paper discusses the factors that may make the Trabocchi Coast a model of resilience considering these changes. This is supported by the role of local institutions as guarantors of the cultural heritage value of the trabocchi in that specific landscape context, as evidenced by the approval of the “Costa dei Trabocchi Special Territorial Project” by the Abruzzo Region in 2023.

Potential of Former Mill Race Corridors for Urban Regeneration Strategies—A Case Study from Podolínec in Prešov Region (Slovakia)

In the past, mill races were part of the urban structure of many towns in Slovakia. As regulated and artificially created waterways, they served to drive mills, rollers, or hammers. With the use of new sources of energy, they lost their functions, and most of them were dried, filled, or buried underground. In our research, we examine the former mill race corridor in Podolínec (Prešov region, Slovakia) and its potential to contribute to urban regeneration strategies. The research steps included the following, namely 1. Identification of the route of the mill race corridor according to historical sources, 2. survey of its current state and its spatial preservation in the urban structure, 3. evaluation of the possibilities of its new uses, which could increase the quality and attractiveness of urban public spaces. The research results show that the fragments of the corridor of the extinct mill race are still identifiable in the urban fabric, and in the cadaster, they are in public ownership and suitable for new uses. The fragments of the corridor of the extinct mill race in Podolínec represent a potential for strengthening the blue and green infrastructure, pedestrian and cycling greenways, and a potential for the presentation of cultural heritage values, which could contribute to the improvement of the qualities of the urban environment.
