Protection Of Cultural Heritage

The aim of the paper is to propose new quantitative criteria for selecting the optimal method of securing and repairing a historical object, which take into account Structural, Conservation and Architectural aspects (the S–C–A method). Construction works on cultural heritage sites tend to be challenging and require an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, they are strictly related to the philosophy of sustainable development which seeks adequate proportions between factors indicated on the natural and social environment. Optimization of several systems stabilizing retaining structure that are a historic object was considered in the paper. Appropriate formulas for scores meeting additional conservation and aesthetic requirements were proposed. The method is used in the stabilization of the brick retaining wall, a part of the Wisłoujście Fortress located in Gdańsk, Poland. In order to compute the displacement of the wall and its stability, numerical analysis was performed by the two-dimensional explicit Finite Difference Method (using the FLAC2D software). The algorithm proposed could be beneficial to the protection of cultural heritage since it could also be applied to other structures, such as roof trusses, masonry walls, pillars, etc.

Protection Of Cultural Heritage

This article explores views of Petr Baranovsky (1892-1984), well-known preservationist and architectural conservator, about issues concerning the protection of architectural monuments of the Russian North. In the 1920s P.D. Baranovsky organized the first Russian skansen - an open-air museum of wooden architecture in Kolomenskoye outside Moscow and became its director. He managed to bring to Kolomenskoye several examples of wooden architecture that otherwise might have been destroyed. In the process of transportation the monuments hardly survived. One of them - the "Mokhovaya Tower of the Sumsky Ostrog" - was assembled and installed in Kolomenskoye only in the 1990s. The author argues that P.D. Baranovsky changed his views over time. In the 1970s he, along with his colleagues and members of the Architectural section of the VOOPIK (All-Russan Society for Protection of Monuments of History and Culture) began developing a new "territorial" approach to protection of cultural heritage. Instead of bringing buildings together in a museum, they advocated protection of cultural heritage sites and structures in their original historical and natural settings. This is similar to the modern "cultural landscape" approach, although that name was not in use at Baranovsky's time. The article is based on unpublished archival documents.

Protection Of Cultural Heritage

The subject of this research is the peculiarities of the historical processes of establishment and development of the system of state protection of historical and cultural heritage in the largest Siberian region – Krasnoyarsk Krai. The author explores the period of institutional development of the system in form of designated institutions since its establishment in the mid-1980s to the present. The object of this research is the system of administrative arrangement and control of the heritage protection authority in Krasnoyarsk Krai. Detailed analysis is conducted on the content of official documents, resolutions and executive orders of the government of Krasnoyarsk Krai, which served as the basic sources on the history of the organization of state protection of historical sites in the region. The author determines the peculiarities of functioning of the system of state protection of cultural heritage sites in Krasnoyarsk Krai, depending on its place in the time-varying administrative hierarchy of regional government. The research is based on the analysis of administrative transformations in the sphere of state protection of heritage through outlining gradual historical stages in the development of control (subordination) system of the cultural and historical l heritage protection authorities in Krasnoyarsk Krai The obtained conclusions lie in the peculiarities of current functioning of the system of state protection of heritage in Krasnoyarsk Krai. This article is first to trace the history of development of the system of state protection of historical and cultural heritage from the perspective of its hierarchical status in administrative governance of the region. It is indicated that the division of the state protection of monuments into an independent structure with separate authority increases the role and significance of the branch of state protection of cultural heritage sites in the region.

Protection Of Cultural Heritage

The article investigates the principles of protection and use of cultural heritage sites in terms of ecological optimization of residential areas. The concept of cultural heritage object is defined and the order of definition of protection zones of cultural heritage objects in the conditions of ecological optimization of settlement territories is established. The principles of formation of the status of a cultural heritage object are revealed and the legislative basis is described. The concept of "territory of cultural purpose" is separated. Describes the problems of protection of cultural heritage sites, the main of which include the complexity of the content of objects, the search for the necessary funds for restoration, to solve which it is necessary to attract external sources of funding other than the state. The generally accepted ways of solving the outlined problems are given and the principles of their realization are substantiated, namely the necessity of complex application is emphasized. The classification of the process of reconstruction of cultural heritage is presented, the main directions of which include: restoration, regeneration, revitalization, revaluation, improvement and new construction. Each of these classes is described according to the method of implementation on site. It is emphasized that the protection zones of cultural heritage sites are areas adjacent to the included in the register of monuments and ensembles, and within which, in order to ensure the preservation of cultural heritage sites and compositional and species links, the construction of capital construction projects and their reconstruction related to changes in height, number of floors, area, except for construction and reconstruction of linear objects. The boundaries of the protection zone of the cultural heritage object are structured according to the zones of location of the latter. The directions of the relation of the state supervision in the field of protection of objects of cultural heritage to the principles of realization of the state support are defined. The list of possible measures of influence of citizens and legal entities in the field of protection of cultural heritage objects in the conditions of ecological optimization of settlement territories is offered.

Rock-carved cultural heritage sites are often developed in slopes formed by weak rocks, which due to their peculiar lithological, geotechnical, and morpho-structural features are characterized by excellent carvability, which at the same time makes them prone to weathering, deterioration, and slope instability issues. In this context the use of advanced close-range nondestructive techniques, such as Infrared Thermography (IRT) and Unmanned Aerial vehicle-based Digital Photogrammetry (UAV-DP) can be profitably used for the rapid detection of conservation issues (e.g., open fractures, unstable ledges-niches, water seepage and moisture) that can lead to slope instability phenomena. These techniques, when combined with traditional methods (e.g., field surveys, laboratory analysis), can provide fundamental data (such as 3D maps of the kinematic mechanisms) to implement a site-specific and interdisciplinary approach for the sustainable protection and conservation of such fragile cultural heritage sites. In this paper some examples of conservation problems in several rupestrian sites characterized by different geological contexts, from the mountainous regions of Georgia to the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, are presented, with the aim of evaluating the potential of the proposed integrated approach. The final aim is to provide conservators, practitioners, and local authorities with a useful, versatile, and low-cost methodology, to be profitably used in the protection and conservation strategies of rock-carved sites.

Abstract The coordinated development of heritage protection and tourism is the goal of both cultural heritage sites and sustainable heritage tourism. However, the development of sustainable heritage tourism can be restricted due to insufficient resources for heritage tourism marketing as well as insufficient cultural heritage protection measures. This study uses digital methods such as oblique photography, 3D laser scanning technology and panoramic technology to digitize the cultural landscape heritage site. Using these methods, we build a virtual tourism subsystem to improve tourists’ experience of cultural heritage tourism resources and enhance the attraction of cultural heritage tourism. In addition, we build a tourist flow and environmental monitoring and management subsystem based on the Internet of Things technology. This subsystem can help managers adjust and regulate tourist flow according to the tourism carrying capacity threshold. We also conduct an ecological environment health assessment and management simulation according to the “Pressure-Status- Response” model, in doing so, we aim to enhance the protection of cultural heritage sites. Finally, we develop a comprehensive platform to integrate tourism marketing and heritage protection management functions. The results of this study provide a new approach for the coordination of and symbiosis between the protection of cultural heritage and tourism activity.
