This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book mostly contains contributions by the invited lecturers at the 7th International Conference on Non-Destructive Testing and Micro-Analysis for the Diagnostics and Conservation of the Cultural and Environmental Heritage. The contributors have all been chosen for their individual reputations and the quality of their research, but also because they represent a field deemed highly important. Hence, this book give balanced coverage of the areas that are most relevant in non-destructive testing and micro-analysis in the realm of cultural heritage. The analysis methods provide the clinical composition of cultural artifacts to elucidate their provenance, the rate of alteration as a result of exposure to the environment and the effectiveness of conservation and restoration strategies. The techniques are partially or fully non-destructive, are portable, or allow study of different parts of a heterogeneous work of art.

Abstract: Since its introduction in January 2008 in response to public protest in the demolition of the Queen's Pier in Central, 30 Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) reports have been produced in Hong Kong. As a tool aimed at protecting heritage significance amidst development, the mechanism has been under scrutiny for its effectiveness. However, due to the lack of a transparent evaluation system to assess the effectiveness of the HIA, improvements to the mechanism is not derived from the perspective of its users. By evaluating the substantive effectiveness of the HIA for Phase 2 of the redevelopment of St. Paul's Co-educational College, this study aims to kick off the discussion about a suitable evaluation methodology for the HIA and to uncover the potential weaknesses of the mechanism, and, subsequently, to provide suggestions for future improvements to the outcome of the mechanism. Findings have revealed that although public consultation was one of the main reasons for the introduction of the HIA and is written down as a requirement for the process, stakeholders are not always comprehensively consulted in practice. While the regulatory framework of the HIA allows the HIA to have an influence on the development project in the early stages, its presence has waned following the Antiquities Advisory Board's (AAB) acceptance. Compound by a lack of monitor, the executions of certain measures proposed by the HIA are poorly implemented during and beyond the construction stage of the project. It points to the importance of a monitoring system and a potential introduction of a monitoring and advisory role for the heritage consultant. The difficulties the users encountered during the implementation of the HIA also showed that the inter-departmental cooperation between the Antiquities and Monument Office (AMO) and other governmental departments have left a lot to be desired. Concerns also arise since the AAB's acceptance of the HIA carries no statutory implications; the effectiveness of the HIA depends heavily on the attitude of the project proponents. All in all, a better understanding of the importance of the HIA for all parties, the establishment of a monitoring system during the construction and an effectiveness evaluation after the project completion are policies towards a more effective HIA mechanism. The enactment of the HIA ordinance will give statutory power to the government bodies to exercise these policies effectively.

Download or read book Going Beyond written by Marie-Theres Albert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume looks at sustainable protection and sustainable use of cultural and natural heritage, particularly in view of the current challenges of the 21st century. For more than 40 years the World Heritage Convention has regulated the protection of the cultural and natural heritage of humankind, particularly in that heritage shall be protected if it is threatened by modern development. The international community has also adopted sustainability and sustainable development, as objectives to facilitate the protection of cultural and natural heritage. Sustainable heritage protection and use must therefore be preserved in the face of the global challenges it faces and must be perceived in terms of societal, political and corresponding economic paradigms.

Book excerpt: The idea of heritage as a “capital of irreplaceable cultural, social and economic value” was already present in the European Charter of the Architectural Heritage, adopted by the Council of Europe in 1975 (par.3). Today, this discourse is getting increasing attention on the research agenda. Some argue that, although heritage is always valued highly, the current interest in the impact of heritage is caused by the democratisation of heritage and the increased importance of heritage in today’s society. Others argue that a universal scarcity of funds for heritage management and conservation is the reason to give it its proper attention. Therefore, the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation (University of Leuven) considered “Heritage Counts” a relevant and timely topic for its yearly international conference, the “thematic week”. This edition twins with the “Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe” project, funded by the EU Culture Programme. The opening day of the conference was co-organised by the lead partner of this project, EUROPA NOSTRA, and brought together European policymakers and international researchers involved in cultural heritage. This volume specifically reports on the lectures and fruitful debates on heritage impact during the 2015 thematic week. It was observed that evolutions in discourse and policy hold a significant prospect, which also entail an increasing demand for shared insights and formation. In response, this publication reflects on heritage impact by providing research, case studies and reflections that can serve as baseline records, guidance - and hopefully inspiration. The findings are subdivided in three main chapters: “Framing the paradigm”, “Impact assessments: research, methods and practice” and “Linking management, conservation and sustainable development”.
