Full textAbstract:
In an increasingly urbanised world, historic settlements have been facing tremendous urbanisation and development pressures. In this context, historic settlements included on the World Heritage List ought to be flagships for urban conservation. This dissertation investigates how effectively the existing protection and management policies under the World Heritage Convention contribute to the protection of historic urban settlements and especially their surroundings. The factors affecting urban settlements, and the responses adopted by the international community for the protection of urban heritage, are investigated – first in relation to urban settlements in general, and then in relation to historic settlements included on the World Heritage List. To get a holistic view of how historic settlements have been protected under the World Heritage Convention, the monitoring mechanisms established under the Convention are examined. The analysis of the results of the first cycle of the Periodic Reporting exercise and of the state of conservation reports resulting from the Reactive Monitoring process provide an overall view of the main issues influencing the protection of World Heritage settlements. To get an overview of the factors affecting the surroundings of World Heritage settlements in particular, the concept of buffer zone – adopted under the World Heritage Convention as the main mechanism for the protection of the surroundings of World Heritage properties – is investigated not only in relation to its use in other disciplines and to the protection of natural protected areas, but also in the nomination files over time. To investigate how historic settlements and their surroundings in particular have been affected by urbanisation and development pressures, and how they have been protected under the World Heritage Convention, four case studies are studied, namely Angra do Heroísmo in Portugal, Olinda in Brazil, Marrakesh in Morocco and the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. In all four cases I examine how their inscription on the World Heritage List has influenced their protection and that of their surroundings in particular, how the existing managements systems established for their protection have responded to urbanisation and development pressures, and what are the main factors affecting their state of conservation. In addition, as the Kathmandu Valley has received enormous attention under the World Heritage system, this case study is also analysed to obtain an in-depth understanding of how the system has been implemented for the protection of World Heritage settlements. The case studies shed light on five inter-related aspects. First, that the legal and management arrangements adopted for the protection of the World Heritage settlements are not built upon what is considered to be their outstanding universal value, and are insufficient to effectively address existing urbanisation and development pressures. Second, that the factors affecting the state of conservation of World Heritage properties increasingly originate from beyond the properties‘ boundaries, but there is nevertheless no integration of the planning and management arrangements for the World Heritage settlements within their wider urban context. Third, that the surroundings of the World Heritage settlements investigated have continued to undergo considerable change since the time of inscription and are now much more urbanized areas, despite existing legal mechanisms for their protection. Fourth, that although Angra do Heroísmo, Olinda and Marrakesh present similar factors affecting their state of conservation to those identified for the Kathmandu Valley, they have not received the same attention from the World Heritage Committee, pointing to a lack of clarity on the selection process for the follow-up of the state of conservation of a property through Reactive Monitoring. Fifth, in relation to the Kathmandu Valley only, that the involvement of the international community has considerable limitations and needs to be improved. These aspects show that the protection and management policies under the World Heritage Convention are limited, not effectively implemented or enforced, and only address a limited number of the existing needs. The dissertation concludes by articulating how existing trends influencing urban settlements can be more effectively addressed by existing mechanisms under the World Heritage Convention. Finally I bring forward the policy implications deriving from the research findings and suggest broad strategies for improving some of the processes and practices for the protection of World Heritage settlements and their surroundings in particular.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on Central Star Ferry Pier whose impending and actual demolition in 2006 provoked an unprecedented level of confrontation over historic conservation between the Hong Kong government and civil society groups. The confrontation continued in 2007 over the dismantling of Queen’s Pier, whose reassembly and relocation continue to be a subject of debate today. Case studies of these two piers describe their history, trace the conflicts over their fate within the broader controversy over harbour reclamation, place the disputes in social and political context, and analyse constructions of their cultural significance amid changing values. Particular attention is paid to definitions and redefinitions of the piers’ significance (or lack thereof) in relation to contemporary issues in Hong Kong society and governance, such as the formation of post-colonial identity and struggle for democratisation. This long-running drama in two acts not only underscored the neglect of built-heritage conservation in urban planning in Hong Kong, but also called into question its developmental model and consultative system. Its outcome was a paradigm shift in public understanding of and official approaches to urban conservation, better recognition of social value in heritage making and greater efforts to integrate it into the sustainable development of Hong Kong.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the inclusion of young people in current heritage conservation policy. The investigation is founded on the premise that, despite internationally agreed conservation principles recommending more inclusive policies and a body of literature highlighting the importance of cultural and social diversity for sustainable development, most heritage conservation policy and practice at the local level is still elitist and informed by the values of only a few groups in society. Many groups therefore, including young people, do not recognise the official (or listed) heritage as theirs and feel they have nothing to contribute to the process of heritage protection. The situation of young people is aggravated by the fact that the group is usually regarded as the future generation, a state that undermines their visibility as social actors of today with the same rights as adults to participate in policy making processes. The initial stage of the research involved the identification of the contextual framework based on the analysis of international policy and Brazilian legal and administrative structures influencing local heritage conservation and the theoretical underpinnings for the investigation developed from a review of the literature on the themes of heritage conservation, heritage value, young people and participation. The initial stage informed the design of an analytical framework, which is sensitive to cultural and social contexts, for the investigation of inclusiveness in heritage conservation. A qualitative approach through a multi-method strategy was adopted to provide an in-depth examination of the research problem in the city of Pelotas, Brazil. The applied research involved three methodological stages: I) the identification of what young people value as heritage and how they value it; 2) the investigation of to what extent local policy respond to the values of young people by directly including them into policy (assigned value), by generating practical benefits for the group (instrumental value), and by providing avenues for the group's participation (institutional value); and 3) the consideration of a creative and dialogical participatory approach, involving adults and young people, as a tool for increasing institutional value. Together, the contextual and theoretical frameworks and the results from the in depth study in Pelotas are used to propose theoretical and practical recommendations and strategies for the development of more inclusive heritage conservation policies. These are seen as starting points for bridging the gap between the exclusive character of heritage conservation and the current requirements for social and cultural inclusion.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the roles played by international, national, regional and local organisations and discourses in the heritage valorisation and conservation of modernist architecture – a process that has so far spanned some three decades. A leading role in this narrative has been played by international conservation organisations, which have acted as a unifying front for conservation advocacy and defined a conservation ideology that integrates the principles of both the modern movement and the conservation movement. Partly, this international emphasis has stemmed from the characteristics of the 20th century Modern Movement itself, including its strong strain of cosmopolitanism, as well as its still controversial reputation today at a local level. This initially gave the proselytising of modernist conservation a somewhat elite, trans-national character, exemplified by pioneering organisations such as DOCOMOMO. Yet the ‘internationalism’ of modernist conservation is only part of the story – for to establish this innovative new strand of heritage on a more entrenched basis, the familiar, more locally specific organisations and discourses that had supported previous phases of conservation growth were also increasingly applied to ‘MoMo’ heritage. This ‘on the ground’ involvement represented a convergence with more ‘traditional’ conservation practices, both in advocacy and campaigning, and in the research-led documentation required to document buildings’ significance and continued fitness for purpose. These geographically-specific forces operate at both a national level and also a regional or even local scale, as the thesis illustrates by the two national case studies of Great Britain and the United States of America. Although both countries shared numerous cultural similarities, especially the 19th century veneration of private property, the far more emphatic 20th century turn towards state interventionism in Britain led to a strong divergence regarding modernist heritage, both in the overall character of the modernist architecture built in the two countries (far more ‘capitalistic’ in the US) and in the approach to heritage conservation (more state-dominated in GB). In Great Britain, following on from the comprehensive post-WWII government ‘listing’ programme, the statutory heritage bodies – ‘regionally’ differentiated between England and Scotland - have maintained their leading role in the conservation of modern movement heritage through initiatives to identify buildings of significance, and powerful city planning authorities have provided co-ordinated enforcement. In the US, on the other hand, heritage protection has stayed faithful to its philanthropic roots and the onus of modern movement conservation is left to voluntary advocacy groups who then must campaign to have buildings protected piecemeal by local city or state preservation bodies.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (pages 115-131).This dissertation takes its lead from ongoing research associated with the process of formulating policy and developing instruments for safeguarding living heritage or intangible heritage as it is commonly known. In the absence of a national policy and management guidelines for the conservation and sustainable management of living heritage, the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) has initiated a process of formulating minimum standards and guidelines for the· protection of intangible elements of heritage associated with tangible heritage resources (objects and sites). In terms of the National Heritage Resources Act (NHRA) of 1999, SAHRA has a mandate to manage heritage resources to which oral tradition or living heritage is attached. Being the designated head of the living heritage unit at SAHRA, I have the responsibility to ensure the proper conservation and management of living heritage. As such I have been charged with a number of key responsibilities such as formulating policy and developing management guidelines for living heritage. As part of the process toward developing policy, a major facet of this research project reviews and draws a comparative analysis of existing heritage legislation, legal instruments and best practices in the world that may be useful in the South African context. Drawing from the review and comparative study process, this dissertation also seeks to identify and define key management issues for safeguarding aspects of intangible heritage. The outcome of the literature review stimulates a critical discussion about the findings which explore the challenges and opportunities related to the strengths and weakness of existing heritage policies and management guidelines for the protection of intangible elements of heritage resources. This eventually informs the conclusion and recommendations which provides not only a summary of closing remarks but also suggests a way forward regarding appropriate measures to be adopted for safeguarding living heritage. In this way, this project takes the form of research and policy recommendations, premised on a real-world situation in which I am personally responsible for guiding national policy on the issue at stake.

Doctoral thesis, Saechsische Landesbibliothek- Staats- und Universitaetsbibliothek Dresden, 2017. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:14-qucosa-227456.
Full textAbstract:
Architectural heritage, as an important form of the past, has been attracted increasing awareness. Nowadays there is a shared common view in the world that to protect architectural heritage reasonably and based on scientific methods is a necessity of our age. This dissertation intends to analyze and compare the policies for the protection of the architectural heritage in East Asian and European countries. Japan, China, Singapore, Italy, Britain and Germany are selected as representative countries.
This dissertation is a non-empirical study, the main method for research is the documentary analysis. The contents of relevant literature and documents were comparatively analyzed by focusing on three issues: legislation, administration, finance. Each issue within six representative countries is described respectively. Based on such descriptions, a comprehensive comparison of each issue is conducted. These descriptions and comparisons can form the results of study and provide a remarkable insight into such issues of architectural heritage conservation in East Asian and European countries.
The conservation legislation of the representative countries is examined respectively in the process of reviewing their conservation movement. As a result of the review process, the main laws that apply to their present conservation practices are presented. Important provisions concerning architectural conservation of the main laws are described; some possible similarities and differences of these provisions are analyzed and compared. This can deliver a general understanding about the policy framework or institutions in these countries\' architectural conservation.
The administrative structures of the representative countries are analyzed from four levels: national, regional or local, consultation commissions and civic organizations. This dissertation summarizes some main authorities or organizations responsible for architectural conservation and their duties. In reference to previous descriptions, this dissertation analyzes and compares the characteristics of administrative structures of architectural conservation in East Asian and European countries based on the national and regional/local authorities. It can be concluded that most countries have been moving towards decentralization with varying degrees since the last decades of the 20th century. This dissertation also explores some possible motives for decentralized administration, analyzes the status quo of decentralization in the field of architectural conservation in different East Asian and European countries.
This dissertation also provides an overview of their different financial policies in the field of architectural conservation from two aspects: direct public finance and indirect finance. In their conservation practices, direct public funds invested in architectural conservation projects mainly come from central and local subsidies. Two proportions of central and local subsidies in conservation projects are summarized. This dissertation concludes that direct public finance is the main source of their conservation funds but the supply of direct public finance is often limited. In this context, this dissertation argues the important role of indirect finance in the field of architectural conservation, gives some possible ways to improve the efficiency of indirect financing.

Friedman, Kayla Simone. "Examining English planning as a barrier to the thermal improvement of conservation properties." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2015. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/284392.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines why planning is perceived as a barrier to the thermal improvement of conservation properties, and considers ways in which this might be addressed. The focus on thermal improvement is derived from a survey of UK scenario literature for energy management up to 2050. A further examination of the literature finds that conservation properties are particularly in need of thermal improvement; and barriers to thermal improvement are identified. A gap in the academic knowledge is found that identifies planning as a perceived barrier, but that there is no investigation of this widely held perception. The research question is therefore developed as, 'Why is English planning perceived as a barrier to the thermal improvement of conservation properties and how can it be addressed?' The dissertation methodology uses a pragmatic mixed-methods approach and research design. The first phase of the research examines 'Why planning is perceived as a barrier', by using surveys and interviews to gather evidence of the experiences and opinions of the multiple users of planning for conservation projects. Through this work, a lack of consistency and reliability in English planning is identified. The data suggests this may be due to the discretionary and fragmented nature of the English planning system which requires local authorities to interpret national policies and develop local plans and guidance. This results in local decision-making, which may not be consistent. Additionally, the research finds a perceived lack of strong national policy and guidance. This perceived lack of consistency and reliability in the application of planning is selected as the basis for validation phase of the dissertation research findings. The validation research seeks to test the perception of a lack of consistency and reliability through a Comparative Information Quality assessment adapted and developed from the discipline of Information Management. Online planning guidance for conservation projects provided by 13 London Councils is compared. The method confirms and highlights areas of inconsistency across the Councils' planning guidance. By identifying a number of areas of inconsistency, and by providing a tool that could help to ensure that policy is delivered consistently at the local level, this component of the research addresses the second part of the research question, 'How can the planning barrier be addressed?'. In conclusion, the dissertation suggests that planning is perceived as a barrier due to a lack of consistency and reliability in the planning process. Inconsistencies are identified and a recommendation is made for how these might be reduced.

Full textAbstract:
Au niveau international, la conservation du patrimoine a fait l’objet de discussions philosophiques et pratiques considérables au cours des dernières années. La question du lien entre patrimoine et développement est abondamment évoquée, fait l’objet de convictions largement partagées mais les mécanismes qui entrent en action dans ce lien sont très mal identifiés. Etroitement intégrée aux questions environnementales, à l’aménagement rural et aux processus de régénération urbaine, la relation entre patrimoine et développement appartient tant à l’économique qu’au social et au politique. Notre recherche fait entrer les préoccupations patrimoniales dans le champ de la gouvernance locale et régionale elle s’intéresse à leur rôle dans les stratégies d’identité et dans la construction du capital social.Où se situe le patrimoine dans les politiques de la cohésion européenne? Quels sont les objectifs de la politique de cohésion? Quelles sont les interactions entre développement, cohésion et patrimoine? Les politiques en faveur du patrimoine, actuellement appliquées, sont elles classiques? C’est-à-dire :sont-elles focalisées sur la protection et la restauration du patrimoine ;ou bien sont-elles plus complexe, en ce sens qu’elles impliquent la valorisation et l’insertion du patrimoine parmi les ressources d’un territoire, permettant à la fois d’y greffer des politiques d’emploi, des politiques commerciales et des politiques de cohésion sociale ?Actuellement quelles sont les limites d’une mise en œuvre performante? Au final, le patrimoine a-t-il vraiment la signification et la place qu’on veut lui attribuer? Outre ce qu’ils postulent en matière de développement, les textes produits par l’UE indiquent que le patrimoine et sa valorisation sont d’habitude considérés comme éléments qui contribuent positivement à l’amélioration de la qualité de vie. Mais quelles sont les définitions qui sont actuellement disponibles? Quels sont vraiment les rapports entre toutes ses notions et leur concrétisation sur le terrain? La thèse ambitionne de contribuer à une réponse à ses questions.
Les instruments fournis dans le cadre de la politique européenne, sont extrêmement nombreux et multiformes. Une analyse est tentée afin d’évaluer l’efficacité de divers instruments disponibles de la politique de cohésion, en termes de valorisation du patrimoine et de son intégration, dans un contexte de développement local et régional. L’analyse s’effectue au travers d’études de cas. Les études de cas proposées (deux études de cas dans deux pays européens différents, la ville de Nicosie à Chypre et la ville de Xanthi en Grèce) traitent de l’espace du sud-est méditerranéen de l’U.E. La Grèce et Chypre ont été choisis en tant qu’exemples tout à fait représentatifs d’un point de vue géographique mais également d’un point de vue Européen. (Grèce:U.E 3 et Chypre: UE 12)
Le cas de Xanthi, Grèce, est le plus développé. Notre étude le présente comme un résultat globalement positif du rôle des politiques et des programmes de l’ U.E. Les mécanismes locaux d’utilisation des opportunités offertes par les financements européens sont expliqués. On montre comment l’identification, la réhabilitation, la valorisation d’un patrimoine spécifique à la région et la polarisation des politiques de développement sur ce patrimoine ont entraîné d’importants changements dans le comportement de la population vis-à-vis de son territoire. Outre un réinvestissement massif des groupes sociaux moyens et supérieurs dans le cœur urbain, on a pu constater une forte croissance de toutes les activités tertiaires et l’émergence d’une vie locale extrêmement dynamique. Tant la démographie que le nombre d’emplois montrent une courbe ascendante. Si l’on ne peut pas faire abstraction de phénomènes qui se rapprochent de la gentrification, on doit admettre que l’évolution des prix des immeubles et du foncier, n’a pas eu des conséquences identiques à celles qui sont observées en Europe occidentale. On peut semble–t-il dans ce cas (proche d’autres cas voisins dans les petites villes grecques) parler d’amélioration de la qualité de la vie.

Full textAbstract:
Le dispositif des secteurs sauvegardés, créé par la « Loi Malraux » en 1962, avait pour ambition non seulement d’assurer la conservation des ensembles architecturaux historiques mais aussi de leur redonner une place active au sein de la ville contemporaine. Considérés pendant longtemps comme des monuments à part entière, les secteurs sauvegardés tendent depuis une dizaine d’années à s’affirmer comme des lieux d’innovation en matière de réhabilitation architecturale. Ces quartiers anciens, qui ne représentent plus aujourd’hui qu’une infime partie de l’espace urbanisé français, se distinguent par la durabilité des constructions qui les composent et par l’intelligence de leur morphologie. Le cœur historique de Vitré, dont les transformations sont encadrées par un secteur sauvegardé depuis 1976, témoigne de la richesse de l’histoire économique, politique et sociale de la ville depuis le 13ème siècle. Épargné de l’urbanisme brutal qui se généralise dans la première moitié du 20ème siècle grâce à la volonté du service des Monuments historiques, il fait l’objet depuis la création du secteur sauvegardé de nombreuses interventions de restau-ration et de réhabilitation. À partir de l’étude de la ville de Vitré, cette recherche analyse ce qu’était le patrimoine logement avant la création du secteur sauvegardé, ce qu’on en a fait, et ce qu’il tend à devenir. L’étude est présentée en cinq volumes associant le texte (volume I), les cartes, plans, tableaux et documents iconographiques (volume II), ainsi que les notices se rapportant aux études d’inventaire (volume III à V)The safeguarded sectors plan, created by the "Malraux Law" in 1962, aimed not only to ensure historical architecture sets preservation but also to give them back an active place within the contem-porary city. Considered for a long time as monuments in their own right, the safeguarded sectors have been tending over the past ten years to become innovation places in terms of architectural rehabilitation. These old districts which are today representing only a tiny portion of the french urbanized areas are distinguishable by the durability of their buildings and the cleverness of their morphology. The historic core of Vitré, whose the transformations are regulated by a safeguarded sector since 1976, testify the economic, political, and social richness of the city history from the 13th century. Spared from the brutal city planning which has spread in the first half of the 20th century thanks to the will of the Historic Monuments Department, it has been subject of numerous restoration and rehabilitation since the creation of the safeguarded sector. From the study of the Vitré city, this research looks at the housing heritage before the creation of the safeguarded sector, what has been achieved with it and what it tends to become. The study is composed of five volumes: the text (Volume I), the maps, plans, tables and iconographic documents (Volume II) and the inventory studies catalogue (Volume III to V)

The purpose of the study was to improve the understanding of the present situation and the key problems regarding the conservation of designed landscapes of the recent past. Another aim was to investigate roles and initiatives undertaken by key stakeholders and recommend key areas for measures and action to enhance the conservation and protection of designed landscapes of the recent past. The emphasis of the research was on the United Kingdom but relevant findings and actions from an international context were included. A qualitative method was applied using the between-method triangulation research methodology, which combined two methods of investigation, namely data triangulation and theory triangulation. Theory triangulation allowed for an investigation of the wider context or ‘the general’ and a comparison of findings from published sources and records, including an examination of the existing inventories and the roles and initiatives of key stakeholders. The data triangulation used a case study survey, with questionnaires and interviews, to enable the collection and analysis of data from different categories of stakeholders from a site-specific perspective or ‘the particular’ context. The case study survey investigated eleven case study sites using questionnaires and interviews. A total of 146 respondents were contacted and 103 completed responses were received. The results revealed that several recommendations for actions to improve the conservation and protection of heritage of the recent past exist, and that general conservation principles and methodologies exist for the conservation of designed landscapes, but that a lack of recognition and awareness for the significance of designed landscapes of the recent past results in poor implementation of such principles, and the continuing destruction and disfigurement of significant sites. The findings of the study led in the conclusions to the preparation of recommendations for measures and actions by stakeholders, to improve the protection and conservation of landscapes of the recent past.

Full textAbstract:
How can the public sector eff ectively intervene in and govern urban regenerationin historic environments? Th is report examines three cases of historic industrialstructures recently renewed and (partially) preserved in Norrköping, Baltimoreand Milano. In all cases the public sector in the form of national/federal state,county/state/region and municipal level approached regeneration with a spectrumof policies. Th e report studies how public policy has infl uenced generationeff ects in these formerly industrial districts. In Norrköping a redundant papermill was turned into a conference and symphony hall, in Baltimore an old foundryand machine shop was redeveloped into a mixed cooperative hub for arts andcrafts and housing, and lastly, in Milano a former state owned tobacco manufacturingplant is to be reused as a national center for fi lm making. In all threecases the new uses are defi ned as cultural and creative, in one way or the otherusing the industrial heritage of the place. Historic preservation policy clearly hasa role to play in urban regeneration. Th e selection of policy tools depends on thestructure of the public sector, the possibilities of partnerships and local politicaltraditions. Surprisingly, the Swedish case proved to be much more effi cient whenconsidering partnership, showing that the forms of cooperation in the U.S. casewas more instrumental and poorly adapted to local circumstances. Finally, theauthor ponders over the possibility of historic preservation policies to intervenemore actively in order to contribute to urban regeneration.Hur kan det off entliga gripa in i och styra förnyelsen av historiska stadsdelar ien önskvärd riktning? Den här rapporten studerar hur tre aktuella fall med äldreindustribebyggelse nyligen förnyats i Norrköping, Baltimore respektive Milano.I samtliga fall har den off entliga sektorn i form av stat, län/delstat/region ochkommunnivå närmat sig förnyelsen med hjälp av olika strategier. Med hjälp avnordamerikansk forskning om off entlig förvaltning studerar rapporten hur dessastrategier, s.k. policyverktyg, påverkat förnyelsen och vilka deras respektive förtjänsterär. Gemensamt är också att de tre områdena har getts kulturella funktionerdär platsens historia utnyttjas. De fyra verktyg som studeras här är reglering,anslag, skattesubventioner och off entlig–privat samverkan. Vilka strategier somväljs beror på den nationella förvaltningsstrukturen, vilka möjligheter till samverkanmed andra sektorer som föreligger och på lokala och regionala politiska traditioner.En förvånande slutsats är att det svenska fallet visade sig vara betydligt mereff ektivt i sin samverkan mellan off entlig och privat sektor än det amerikanska,där samarbetsformerna visade sig vara mycket mer instrumentella och svåranpassade.I slutet av rapporter jämför och refl ekterar författaren över kulturmiljövårdensmöjligheter att mer aktivt bidra till ekonomisk och social förnyelse i städer.

Denna uppsats rör sig inom fältet kritiska kulturarvsstudier och fokuserar på svensk utförselreglering av kulturhistoriska föremål genom tiderna. Utgångspunkten ligger i 2014 års omformulering av kulturmiljölagens portalparagraf, vilken numera inkluderar mångfaldsmål. Kulturmiljölagens utförselreglering (reglerad i 5:e kapitlet), som inte uppdaterades samtidigt, är tänkt att läsas mot bakgrund av de inledande bestämmelserna. Eftersom den sedan tidigare uppfattats vila på ålderdomliga nationalistiska värdegrunder, uppstod frågan ifall det fanns en diskrepans i förhållande till de nya målen. För att hitta svar söker sig uppsatsen tillbaka till utförselregleringens formativa moment samt förändring från 1920-talet och framåt och sätter detta i relation till nuvarande kulturpolitiska mål och kulturvård i dagens samhälle. Motiv till utförselreglering men också vilka föremålstyper som skyddats genom tiderna har studerats, analyserats och jämförts kvalitativt. Källmaterialet utgörs framförallt av lagtexter, statliga offentliga utredningar och propositioner. Undersökningen visar att lagen från att ha skyddat ett fåtal föremåltyper succesivt har utökats och detaljerats både vad gäller föremålstyp, ålder, värde och ursprung. Med den högre graden särskiljning och utpekande följer problematik kring vad som räknas in och inte. Vissa traditionellt högt värderade föremålstyper och perioder har skyddats hela tiden medan andra mindre värderade konsekvent har uteslutits, trots långt gånga diskussioner om en mer inkluderande lagstiftning redan i tidiga förarbeten. Den breddade synen kring vad som är bevarandevärt, vilken kan skönjas i museers nutida insamlingspolicys, återspeglas inte i lagtexten. Istället har tydliga ekonomiska, kulturella, etniska och åldersmässiga hierarkier skapats. Flytt från en ursprunglig historisk miljö till en annan plats i Sverige kan orsaka skador på kulturarvet som är större än de skador som kan uppstå om ett föremål som redan flyttats från sin ursprungliga miljö istället flyttas utomlands, något som ignoreras i lagtexten. Lagen utgår ifrån att vissa föremål är svenska folkets egendom och att nationen Sverige är en trygg, ursprunglig och naturlig miljö för dem trots att motsatsen ofta har bevisats. En paradox skönjas i det faktum att vanskötsel och förvanskning av värdefulla och utförselskyddade kulturföremål inte är olagligt, så länge föremålet stannar innanför landsgränsen. De kulturpolitiska målen har alltsedan 1970-talets slut påverkat de uttalade motiven till utförsellagstiftningen. Eftersom ålderdomliga värdegrunder och normer, däribland en hel del nationalistiska sådana, där svensk kultur ses som tydlig avgränsad, högtstående och suverän, fortfarande lyser igenom i utförsellagstiftningen, tydliggörs tendensen till en retorisk men inte grundläggande förändring inom kulturarvssektorn. Hypotesen om att kapitel 5 fortfarande står på en grund av nationalistiska värderingar, nationell protektionism och nationellt identitetsskapande kan därmed sägas stämma.This paper is located in the field of critical heritage studies and focusses on Swedish cultural heritage law and the export control of moveable heritage objects. The starting point for the research lies in the 2014 redrafting of the opening section of the cultural heritage law, which for the first time includes objectives relating to pluralism and diversity. Export control (which is regulated in the 5th chapter of the cultural heritage law), was not updated at the same time, but it is nevertheless intended to be read in the light of the preliminary provisions. Since chapter 5 previously was perceived to rest on outdated nationalistic values, the question arise as to whether there is a discrepancy in relation to the new objectives that were formulated in 2014. In order to address the question the study looks back at the formative moments and change of the export control regulations from the 1920s onwards and relates this to current cultural policy objectives and goals of conservation. The motives for export control and the type of objects protected through the ages are analysed and compared qualitatively. The source material primarily consists of legal documents, state government investigations and government bills. The study shows that the law gradually changed from protecting a few object types to become more expansive and detailed in terms of the type of artifact and it´s age, value, and origin. This increased degree of segregation and designation leads to concerns relating to what is included and what is not. Some traditionally highly valued object types and periods have continued to be protected whilst others are consistently less valued and excluded, despite ongoing discussions about the need for a more inclusive legislation since the early preparatory work. The broadened idea about what is worth preserving, which can be seen in the contemporary collection policies of museums, is not reflected in the legislation. Instead evident economic, cultural, ethnic and age hierarchies have been created. The law ignores the fact that moving an artifact from its original historical setting to another location in Sweden can cause greater harm than moving an object that has already been moved from its original location overseas. Instead the law assumes that certain objects are the property of the Swedish people and that the nation of Sweden is a safe, original and “natural” environment for them, despite the fact that the opposite often proves to be the case. A paradox is evident in the fact that the mismanagement and distortion of valuable artifacts that are protected against export is not illegal, as long as the object stays inside the borders of Sweden. Cultural policy objectives have, since the late 1970s, influenced the stated rationale for cultural heritage law and export legislation. Since outdated values and standards, including numerous nationalistic ones, where Swedish culture is seen as being distinct, high-cult and sovereign, still shines through in the export legislation, it is clear that there is a tendency to a rhetorical but not a fundamental change in parts of the cultural heritage sector, including the legislative context. The hypothesis that chapter 5 is still underpinned and characterised by nationalistic values, national protectionism and the creation of national identity can thus be said to be proven.

Full textAbstract:
The nature of values is explored in the aspects of law, property rights, town planning, environmental management, sustainable development, and conservation economics. The findings are roughly grouped as non-calculus and calculus approach for easy discussion. Each interpretation has its own complex but different theoretical basis on values. But a more convincing approach is enlightened by Cheung’s idea on transaction costs, in which many options for conservation are possible but the option with the least transaction costs is the most preferred. Lai’s idea on relationship between conservation and sustainability has provided a theoretical framework on the recent R-scheme, which opens a new way of conservation echoed with Cheung’s idea. The idea of conserving for public interest is explored, and found that the idea is not well tested because of the vague definition. In deciding actions on conservation, a clearer understanding on the relative gain and loss on each option can help to make a more sensible choice. The situation of both international and local HIA implementation was reviewed, and found that despite HK is becoming an important laboratory for HIA, the theoretical basis for HIA is inadequate. A critical review or audit on HIA implementation is conducted. It was found that the HK HIA mechanism is in lack of legitimate support, and may become another piece of bureaucratic procedure. Continuous evaluation on HIA implement throughout the whole processes is important.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Public sentiment towards heritage sites in Hong Kong has changed dramatically over the past decade. A city built entirely on its rapid urban development and redevelopment, Hong Kong has transitioned into a place where people start to concern about what is left in our heritage before it is too late. The change of public sentiment leads us to have a different set of expectation on heritage sites in Hong Kong, which is the topic of this paper.
In response to the escalating public concerns regarding the administration’s take towards heritage conservation, Hong Kong government’s new Heritage Conservation Policy in 2007 launched the ‘Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme’, overseen by the new Commissioner for Heritage’s Office. The Scheme (the ‘R-Scheme’) is an initiative to engage non-profit organisations (NPOs) to conduct adaptive reuse at government-owned historic buildings.
The Batch I of the R-Scheme included the proposed revitalisation of the Old Tai O Police Station. Built in 1902, the Old Tai O Police Station is a Grade II historic building located on Lantau Island. The Hong Kong Heritage Conservation Foundation Limited (HCF) has been selected to restore and operate the site as Tai O Heritage Hotel, a boutique hotel in a non-profit social enterprise model.
The R-Scheme is a pioneer initiative that builds up a framework for public-private partnership in heritage conservation. And as most pioneer programmes go, while the R-Scheme opens up new opportunities and broadens the field of heritage conservation, it also brings new challenges that one might not have foreseen beforehand.
This paper uses Tai O Heritage Hotel as a case study to look into these new challenges, and how these challenges are arisen because of the change of public sentiment and expectation towards historic buildings in recent years. Part of this paper is written in first person narrative, as the author has been working on this revitalisation project and has personally encountered these challenges, including heritage interpretation and public engagement. The challenges and solutions covered in this paper focus on the “software” of the project, as she is involved mostly in the non-technical aspects of the project, and also this portion of the project contributes heavily on satisfying public expectation as well.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on the personal layers of meaning attached to a heritage site, using the case study of Hong Kong’s old Central Police Station (CPS). It is a way to enhance the understanding of the site in a way that goes beyond the scope of ‘official’ records and histories, such as those found in conservation reports, government documents, etc. These documents focus heavily on the significant historical stories attached to the site and the site’s formal architectural qualities as a way to understanding the heritage values of the place. However, this ignores the fact that a site such as the CPS was not built as an historical artefact or as a grand architectural monument. Rather, the CPS had a functional purpose: as a site of work.
This dissertation therefore uncovers the meanings attached to the CPS as a site of work, through an understanding of the socio-historical experiences of the site. This is based on both theoretical and practical research. The theoretical research outlines an overarching theory of ‘heritage place’ – as a result of human interaction with space – as based on the philosophies of Martin Heidegger and Henri Lefebvre, the geographical writings of Carl O. Sauer and Allan Pred, and the cultural heritage theory of Laurajane Smith. This theory is rooted in the phenomenological method, which is founded upon an understanding and description of human experience. The practical component of this dissertation draws upon 10 interviews I conducted with former staff of the CPS, which led me to understand the memories and experiences attached to the site. I then present a synthesis of the theoretical and the practical arms of the research as a way to understand the heritage meanings of the CPS as a living, functional site (not as historical artefact).
Ultimately, the research presented in this dissertation is an attempt to guide conservation thinking in Hong Kong away from static and esoteric understanding of heritage significance as rooted in esoteric and largely impersonal qualities of history and aesthetics, and towards an understanding of heritage significance as rooted in humans’ interactions with their environment.published_or_final_version

Cette thèse s'intéresse aux processus de patrimonialisation de la montagne observés dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de la politique "Grand site" dans le massif du Canigou (Pyrénées-Orientales). Nous analysons le rapport entre les logiques de développement et les logiques de protection des politiques de la montagne et d'aménagement du territoire en France pour mettre à jour l'émergence d'un "ordre patrimonial ". Nous montrons ainsi que l'action publique se saisit du patrimonial à travers une multitude de procédures, de dispositifs et de projets de natures différentes qui sont mis en cohérence par la patrimonialisation. Ce raisonnement est réalisé dans le cadre d'une approche que nous avons qualifié d'ethnogéographique. celle-ci nous permet d'approfondir l'analyse des ressorts, des supports et des figures de la patrimonialisation du Grand site Canigo.

Full textAbstract:
The study of social memory is not purely a historical or anthropological endeavor. Archaeology can provide a considerable amount of evidence about how and why people remembered. In this case study, the Colosseum will be studied in the broader sense of being a monument of damnatio memoriae and commemorative memory; the very act of building it can be seen as a form of “recutting” the landscape to fit the image Vespasian wanted to convey of his predecessor. The Colosseum will also be studied in an even larger historical context. This will involve analyzing the manner in which it was memorialized during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and by British visitors during the Victorian era. I will end the case study with an analysis of Benito Mussolini’s use of antiquity and the Colosseum to propagate Fascism.
Lastly, the concept of cultural heritage and the institutions that uphold it, particularly UNESCO, will be put into question. In illustrating the fluidity of interpretations of the past, in this case through material culture, I argue that the endeavor to codify them by establishing World Heritage sites is problematic because of their subjectivity to modern agendas. However, in order to understand changing attitudes and memories associated with a single monument, one must first explore the nature of social memory.

Full textAbstract:
L’eau en tant que ressource naturelle en mouvement permanent est difficilement saisissable par le droit. La pénurie de cette ressource demeure un problème majeur dans certaines régions du sud de l’Europe et plus particulièrement en Espagne, en France et en Italie. Devant ce défi, une protection juridique renforcée s'impose par nécessité .Le droit est-il en mesure d’assurer à cette ressource une telle protection à travers un statut spécifique qui tienne compte de son caractère vital et rare? Ce travail s’inscrit principalement dans une perspective de droit comparé entre les systèmes juridiques français, italien et espagnol, étudiés à la lumière du droit de l’Union européenne ayant favorisé une standardisation de la protection de l’eau, même si elle demeure insuffisante. La domanialisation et la patrimonialisation de l’eau, ainsi que la reconnaissance progressive d’un droit à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement sont les solutions proposées par les droits publics étudiés. La question de l’effectivité et de l’efficacité de la protection publique de l’eau est au cœur de l’étude et invite à s’interroger sur les acteurs de la mise en œuvre de la protection de la ressource en eau ainsi que sur un partage des compétences souvent complexe. Dans cette perspective, le rôle du juge administratif et des juges des eaux publiques en matière d’application effective des normes protectrices de la ressource en eau est fondamental. Ainsi, la question de l’effectivité de la protection s’est imposée, car elle découle tant de son caractère préventif que du caractère répressif des sanctions appliquées en cas de dommages causés à la ressource en eauWater as a natural resource in constant motion is difficult to grasp by the law. The shortage of this resource remains a major problem in parts of southern Europe, particularly in Spain, France and Italy. Faced with this challenge, enhanced legal protection is necessary with force. Is the law able to guarantee this resource protection through a special status that respects its vital and rare character? The purpose of this piece of work is mainly to set a comparative law perspective between the French, Italian and Spanish legal systems, studied in the light of the law of the European Union which promoted a standardization of water protection, even if it remains insufficient. The public domain, the concept of heritage, and the gradual recognition of the right to drink water and sanitation are the solutions proposed by the legal systems studied. The question of the effectiveness and efficiency of public water protection is at the heart of the study. It raises questions about the actors in the implementation of the protection of water, as well as an often complex sharing of skills. In this perspective, the role of the administrative judge and judges of public waters in terms of effective enforcement of protective standards for water is fundamental. So the question of the effectiveness of protection raises central, because it follows both the preventive character and the repressive nature of the sanctions imposed in the case of damaging the water resources

In view of such change, this dissertation aimed to evaluate whether the revitalization scheme before and after 2007 is part of town planning strategy or just a compromise to the planning aspect. By the comparison of the revitalization projects of Wancahi Blue House Cluster, Tsim Sha Tsui Former Police Headquarter and Kom Tong Hall, the new town planning strategy could be better illustrated.

Full textAbstract:
It is good news to see that Hong Kong has adopted the adaptive reuse approach in conserving historical buildings through projects under the Revitalisation Scheme. The bad news is that due to the absence of well-founded locally relevant principles and guidelines, almost all of these projects have brought about fierce quarrels among different groups of professionals. In particular the quarrel between conservation professionals, who try to adopt international best practices in conservation, and government officials, who are responsible for regulating and enforcing fire safety codes consistently in all buildings, regardless they are new or historical.
In the past, some conservation architects have queried about the possibility of applying for exemption from the fire codes in conserving historical buildings through adaptive reuse. Today, conservation professionals and government officials have accepted that there is little room for compromise regarding the application of the fire codes in the adaptive reuse of historical buildings, as the codes are about ensuring the safety of occupants as well as protecting the heritage property from fire. Conservation professionals are now looking into ways of applying the fire codes in adaptive reuse projects. Now that the Revitalisation Scheme has been in operation for six year with a number of projects successfully completed, it presents the author the opportunity to examine the fire-code application of these completed projects to develop references based on precedent case-studies. Such references would be useful to professionals in adaptive reuse projects (as conservation consultants, project managers, architects and engineers) in facilitating the planning and design of the adaptive reuse in terms of meeting the fire codes.
This research is to study the application for relaxation of, and exemption from, the prescribed fire safety codes by adopting fire engineering approach in adaptive re-use of Old Tai O Police Station into Tai O Heritage Hotel. Tai O Heritage Hotel is the first and so far the only hotel premises of the Government. Besides, it’s the first historic buildings in Batch I of the Revitalisation Scheme with capital cost funded by the Government. It is a great challenge to equip a 110 years old historic building with modern fire safety provisions and installations. By demonstrating the ways of appropriate means in application of fire engineering approach in fire safety in historic building, procedure and assistance which can be given by Government Departments in facilitating the revitalisation works, it can provide platform for future discussions, or a model for future adaptive re-use projects under the Revitalisation Scheme.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
La protection des sols dans le cadre de l’Union européenne est loin d’être un thème insignifiant. Il est prétexte à une juste remise en cause des paradigmes qui structurent l’édifice politique et juridique de l’Union et qui, au fur et à mesure que les crises écologiques se précisent, se révèlent anachroniques. La protection des sols interroge, en premier lieu, notre rapport à l’espace, dans une Union morcelée par les frontières administratives, elle suggère un renforcement des solidarités écologiques entre les territoires et la reconnaissance de nouvelles responsabilités qui dérivent de l’exercice de la souveraineté, de l’usage du droit de propriété et de l’organisation des espaces et des zones environnementales. La protection des sols questionne notre rapport au temps, à plus forte raison, notre capacité à décider dans une perspective à long terme et non à court terme pour satisfaire des intérêts politiques, économiques ou sociaux immédiats. La protection des sols invite prestement à reconsidérer le postulat de la rationalité économique lequel sous-tend la plupart des politiques de l’Union. Enfin, la thématique Sol place l’Union face à l’un de ses plus grands défis, la sauvegarde des sols en tant que patrimoine naturel commun, et l’oblige à composer avec des réalités écologiques variées, une multitude de territoires et divers usages du sol sans jamais être tentée de renoncer à son engagement en faveur de la protection des solsSoil protection within the European Union framework is far from being a minor issue. It is used as a justification to rightly reconsider paradigms which structure the political and legal edifice of the European Union and are proving to be anachronistic, as ecological crisis become more and more apparent. Soil protection first questions our relationship to space, and because the European Union is fragmented into administrative borders, it suggests a reinforcement of ecological solidarities between territories and acknowledgment of new responsibilities driven from the power of sovereignty, the right of ownership and the organization of space and environmental zones. Soil protection questions our relationship to time and even more so, our ability to make decisions within a long-term perspective - and not short-term perceptive - to satisfy political, economical or immediate social interests. Soil protection calls to quickly reconsider the economic rational assumption which underlies most politics of the European Union. Finally, the Soil thematic exposes the European Union to one of its biggest challenges; soil safeguarding as a common natural heritage and it forces the European Union to compose with varied ecological realities, a multitude of territories and diverse soil uses without ever being tempted to give up its commitment towards soil

Full textAbstract:
The Lower Mainland of British Columbia is growing rapidly resulting in a
dramatic alteration of the landscape. Associated with this growth is the loss of
community heritage structures and properties. This destruction is occurring at a rapid rate
even though conservation mechanisms, tools and strategies exist.
This thesis examines the practice of heritage conservation and identifies the
heritage conservation tools that are presently being utilized by a number of selected
Lower Mainland municipalities. It then outlines the necessary conditions that a
community must possess for existing conservation tools to be effective.
A literature review of existing heritage conservation statutes was conducted to
identify the statutory tools available for conservation purposes. The primary method of
investigation involved interviewing 13 prominent heritage professionals from the
Provincial Government, selected Municipal Governments, and the private planning
sector. The survey allowed the author to generate a ‘tools chest’ of mechanisms available
for conservation purposes. In total 23 conservation tools were identified from both the
literature review and survey.
Research indicated that the perceived responsibility for heritage conservation in
British Columbia rested with local governments. To date these governments have had
limited success in ensuring long term management and protection of heritage properties
within their jurisdictions. Conservation tools presently being applied to manage these
community resources are limited in scope and applicable only under specific ownership
conditions. In general, local governments are under utilizing the conservation tools available to them. Reasons for this may include the lack of political and public support,
in addition to, monetary and time restraints directed for this purpose.
This study concludes with recommendations for local governments and the
planning profession regarding the direction which these groups should embark on with
future conservation activities.

Full textAbstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Climate change is a major cause of the increasing deterioration of heritage places and the loss of values, meanings and histories of the past. The global average surface temperature, for instance, is projected to increase within the range of 1.4°C and 5.8°C by 2100. More than 60 heritage buildings in Nigeria were destroyed due to flooding, coastal storm and erosion between 1960 and 2010. This calls for urgent and inclusive actions to adapt the heritage buildings to the present and future climate scenarios, as well as implement people-driven approaches addressing the vulnerabilities of the heritage places to climate change through which the identities and connections to heritage are preserved. Given this, the study developed a framework for the involvement and participation of communities and networks in adapting cultural built heritage to climate change and its impacts. The study examines how to enable social participation in the climate change adaptation of cultural built heritage. A systematic review of relevant literature between 2010 and 2020 was conducted to understand the linkages between climate, cultural built heritage and communities. Climate data was gathered through relevant reports and the publications of recognised organisations. A case study approach was adopted to understand the values and impacts of climate change on three heritage buildings in Nigeria. Interviews with twenty-nine key informants and three focus group discussions were also conducted to understand perceptions relating to the values, management and impacts of climate change on the heritage buildings. 254 questionnaires were also administered to local tourists and visitors, both face-to-face and through Internet-mediated approaches. In addition, the ABC method of assessing and managing risks to cultural heritage was adopted to assess and understand the impacts of key climate drivers on heritage buildings. The findings revealed the influence of cultural built heritage within the communities, not only as evidence of the past preserving identities, histories and cultural ties, but also as a key contributor to sustainable development at the community-level and as a mobiliser of communities for involvement in decision-making and policy planning. However, the management of heritage buildings in Nigeria is largely government-driven, with a limited consideration of climate change impacts and adaptation, and a lack of meaningful participation of the local communities and their representatives. The conservation policies and practices also do not utilise participatory tools that will improve the connection between the people/community and heritage places. The study identified key criteria to enable the involvement and participation of communities and networks in the conservation and adaptation of built heritage to climate change: i.) engagement with and inclusion of users and neighbourhood communities, ii.) the raising of awareness and capacity building, iii.) an inclusive approach to policy planning, iv.) the recognition of local knowledge, and v.) access and other benefits. The criteria are connected to motivating factors, including rewards and incentives, the conservation of uses and functions, communal benefits and the democratisation of decision-making. The barriers to social participation include mistrust and communal conflicts, low skill capacity, low awareness and inadequate information about the climate and heritage buildings, ineffective approaches to social participation, and residents’ apathy to community actions. The findings of the study contributed to the development of a SocioPAC framework to enable the involvement and participation of communities and networks in the conservation and adaptation of cultural built heritage to climate change and its impacts. The study recommends reviewing the heritage policies to recognise: i.) the roles and involvement of local communities and intergovernmental and inter-organisational collaborations in the policy development and implementation, ii.) the development of detailed and comprehensive national inventories of heritage to identify, document, manage and communicate the values and significance of heritage, iii.) the integration of heritage into education curricula, especially at the pre-tertiary level, iv.) the development and implementation of lifelong learning approaches for heritage professionals, employees and volunteers at heritage organisations, and v.) the revamping of and emphasis on research and development activities at the organisations involved in the conservation and management of heritage.

Orientação: Mário MoutinhoA tese discute a governança do processo de conservação do património urbano focando os factores subjacentes que enquadram as decisões de conservação e influenciam a alocação de recursos para este esforço. A tese propõe um enquadramento analítico para estudar o processo de tomada de decisão de áreas patrimoniais urbanas utilizando uma abordagem baseada em valores. A utilidade do enquadramento é testada analisando quatro casos de preservação do património urbano em centros históricos da América Latina incluídos na Lista do Património Mundial da UNESCO: Oaxaca (México), Quito (Equador), Salvador Bahia (Brasil) e Valparaíso (Chile). A tese conclui que a conservação sustentável das zonas de património urbano exige: que a sua extensa gama de valores socioculturais e económicos seja apreciada por um amplo espectro de atores sociais; que devem participar ativamente no sentido de s tornarem atores comprometidos, e; alcançar um equilíbrio delicado entre conservação e desenvolvimento. Para tal, a conservação do património urbano deve ser plenamente incorporada nos objetivos de desenvolvimento da comunidade; Os sítios patrimoniais precisam ser disponibilizados para usos com a demanda solvente nas comunidades, permitindo a sua reabilitação adaptativa para usos contemporâneos; e que as instituições responsáveis pela conservação do património precisam para se tornarem parte integrante do quadro institucional, parcerias para promover o desenvolvimento social e económico das comunidades.
The thesis discusses the governance of the urban heritage conservation process focussing on the underlying factors that frame the conservation decisions and influence the allocation of resources to this effort. The thesis proposes an analytical framework to study the decision-making process leading to the listing and conservation of urban heritage areas using the values-based approach. The usefulness of the framework is tested analysing four cases of urban heritage preservation efforts in historic centres of Latin America included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO: Oaxaca (Mexico), Quito (Ecuador), Salvador de Bahia (Brazil) and Valparaiso (Chile). The thesis concludes that the sustainable conservation of urban heritage areas requires: that their extensive range of socio-cultural and economic values be appreciated by a wide spectrum of social actors; that they must actively participate in the effort becoming committed stakeholders, and; achieving a delicate balance between conservation and development. To this end the conservation of the urban heritage need to be fully incorporated to the development goals of the community; the heritage sites need to be put to uses with solvent demand in the communities allowing for their adaptive rehabilitation to contemporary uses; and the institutions in charge of conserving the heritage need to become an integral part of the institutional arrangements to promote the social and economic development of the communities.

Despite the importance of the preservation of the historic built environment for the benefit of present and future generations, there is a lack of knowledge of the effects of architectural rehabilitation decisions on the cultural significance of historic buildings. Architectural heritage conservation literature has focused almost exclusively on providing principles and guidelines, describing intervention methodologies, and discussing predicted impacts of design on material values. This thesis argues that a focus on the actual effects is needed if the sociocultural sustainability of historic buildings significance is to be achieved. Supported by an extensive literature review and informed by personal insights from the researcher’s everyday practice, an adapted model of the Theory of Change based on Weiss (1995) was designed, providing a tool to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation on cultural significance [ERECS].
Using a selection of six recently rehabilitated historic secondary schools in Portugal (liceus), this research investigated architectural decisions and their effects on the cultural values of this building typology for education, focusing on three objectives, corresponding to three stages of interventions: understanding the existing cultural significance, identifying the design strategies applied and assessing the short-term effects of design decisions on the cultural values.
Stressing the role of stakeholders in rehabilitation processes, data were collected from the buildings and architectural projects, the decision makers in the conservation process, and the school community.
Although confirming that the evaluation of the effects of architectural decisions on cultural values is a complex task, the findings demonstrate that the historic liceus have historical, architectural and sociocultural values, and whilst strategies did not value social values, material cultural values were generally considered and preserved, contributing to the enhancement of intangible values. The implications of this theory-based and evidence-based research highlight the importance of evaluating actual effects for cultural heritage theory,
architectural conservation practice and heritage management policy.This work was developed with a Doctoral Bursary given by the Foundation for Science and Technology (ref. SFRH/BD/60763/2009), with sponsorship supported by POPH/FSE.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia Civil, Reabilitação de Edifícios, apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra.Com as recentes políticas de ordenamento marcadas por um regresso à cidade, a consciencialização dos desafios enfrentados pelo património urbanístico tem levado a um repensar sobre os princípios de conservação urbana estabelecidos.O novo paradigma de conservação urbana começa a ganhar forma por meio de uma visão integrada que alia a salvaguarda ao desenvolvimento, o edificado e a área urbana à cidade e ao território, a dimensão física à dimensão vivencial (social e económica) e os especialistas à comunidade, na procura de um desenvolvimento urbano sustentável. Foi escolhido como caso de estudo o núcleo urbano antigo de Viseu, uma cidade de média dimensão no centro de Portugal com 2500 anos de História, para a implementação e operacionalização de uma política bottom-up de reconhecimento dos valores urbanos como uma abordagem metodológica, um princípio de intervenção útil à salvaguarda da identidade do lugar, do seu genius loci. O conhecimento sistémico dos recursos de uma determinada área da cidade (forma e composição, materiais e sistemas construtivos, usos e funções) permitiu a identificação, caracterização e hierarquização de um sistema de valores urbanos, revelado através das fichas de caracterização elaboradas para duas ruas do núcleo urbano antigo de Viseu.A metodologia apresentada dará lugar, acreditamos, ao conhecimento das complexidades da cidade que, com a possibilidade de extensão a qualquer área urbana e com uma ampla participação de todos os envolvidos, assegurará um eficaz planeamento, gestão e monitorização do património urbanístico, no sentido de um desenvolvimento integrado e sustentável, que continue a enraizar a comunidade num determinado local e num determinado tempo. Depois da História, os Valores Urbanos levar-nos-ão à ação.
With the recent planning policies marked by a return to the city, the awareness of the challenges faced by the urban heritage have led to a rethinking of the established principles of urban conservation.The new paradigm of urban conservation is beginning to take form through an integrated vision that combines safeguard with development, the built and the urban area to the city and territory, the physical dimension with the liveable one (social and economic) and the specialists with the community, in search of a sustainable urban development.The old urban nucleus of Viseu, a 2500-year old city of medium dimensions in the central region of Portugal, was chosen as a case study for the implementation and operationalization of a bottom-up policy of recognizance of urban values as a methodological approach, an intervention principle that is useful to the safeguarding of the identity of the place, of its genius loci.The systemic knowledge of the resources of a certain area of the city (form and composition, materials and construction systems, uses and functions) has enabled the identification, characterization and hierarchization of a system of urban values, revealed through the characterization sheets elaborated for two streets in the old urban nucleus of Viseu.The methodology presented will provide, we believe, the knowledge of the complexities of the city which, with the possibility of extending it to any urban area and with broad participation of all involved parties, will ensure effective planning, management and monitoring of the urban heritage, aiming for an integrated and sustainable development, that will continue to root the community in a specific locale and in a specific time. After the History, the Urban Values will lead us to action.
