Download or read book Asian Heritage Management written by Kapila D. Silva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalent global heritage discourse has been primarily Euro-centric in its origin, premise, and praxis. Diverse cultural, historical, and geographical contexts, such as that of Asia, call for more context-specific approaches to heritage management. This book explores this complexity of managing the cultural heritage in Asia. Case studies include sites of Angkor, Himeji Castle, Kathmandu Valley, Luang Prabang, Lumbini, and Malacca, and the book uses these to explore the religious worldviews, heritage policies, intangible heritage dimensions, traditional preservation practices, cultural tourism, and the notion of cultural landscape that are crucial in understanding the cultural heritage in Asia. It critiques the contemporary regulatory frameworks in operation and focuses on the issues of global impact on the local cultures in the region. The book goes on to emphasize the need for integrated heritage management approaches that encompass the plurality of heritage conservation concerns in Asian countries. Themes are discussed from the vantage point of heritage scholars and practitioners in the South, Southeast, and East Asia. This book thus presents a distinctive Asian perspective which is a valuable source for students and practitioners of heritage within and beyond the Asian context.
Download or read book Cultural Heritage Politics in China written by Tami Blumenfield and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores China’s cultural heritage ideology and policies from three interrelated perspectives: the State and World Heritage tourism; cultural heritage tourism at undesignated sites, and the cultural politics of museums and collections. Something of a cultural heritage designation craze is happening in China. This is new within even the last five to ten years. Officials at many levels now see heritage preservation as a means for commoditizing their regions. They are devoting new resources and attention to national and international heritage designations. Thus, addressing cultural heritage politics in a nation dedicated to designation is an important project, particularly in the context of a rapidly growing economy. This volume is also important because it addresses a very wide range of cultural heritage, providing an excellent sample of case studies: historic vernacular urban environments, ethnic tourism, scenic tourism, pilgrimage as tourism, tourism and economic development, museums, border heritage, underwater remains, and the actual governance and management of the sites. This volume is an outstanding introduction to cultural heritage issues in China while contributing to Chinese studies for those with greater knowledge of the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Heritage Management in China presents a thematic examination of the development of cultural heritage management (CHM) in an Asian context. It challenges assumptions of the primacy of community-sponsored action and heritage authority based on Western-derived ideals and practices that fit with democratic models for civil action. The multidisciplinary team of international contributors analyze four key case studies of cities along the Pearl River Delta examining their administrative characteristics, economic growth and their relationship with cultural identity and human relationships. Providing an innovative study of cultural heritage management, this book will be of interest to students of Asian and cultural studies, as well as offering valuable insights into Asian culture and society itself.
Download or read book Protecting Built Heritage in Hong Kong written by Steven Brian Gallagher and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief is the first comprehensive coverage of law and policy intended to protect built heritage in Hong Kong. Although characterized as a city of skyscrapers and modernity, Hong Kong has a rich cultural heritage and a surprisingly rich built heritage. The text considers what “built heritage” means in Hong Kong and what built heritage there is in Hong Kong. It introduces general readers, practitioners and students to the issues facing built heritage protection and how such protection usually develops in a modern city. In particular, it considers the problems and disputes that provided the focus for development of law and policy in Hong Kong, especially the legacy of 150 years as a British colony and the consequent identification as a “borrowed” and “temporary” place. The Brief considers how effective law and policy has been in protecting built heritage under the colonial and post-colonial administrations- their successes and failures. These include the Kowloon-Canton Railway Station, the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance, reclamation of Victoria Harbour, violent protests at Queen’s Pier, and the introduction of mandatory heritage impact assessments for government projects. The text concludes noting recent successes, which may indicate a brighter future for the protection of Hong Kong’s built heritage.

Abstract: Hong Kong is a city with unique cultural background, in which the fusion of eastern and western style, presented through foods, buildings, cultures etc., are coexisting, while diminishing. Foreigners may not have the chance to discover the values unless they pay a detail visit to the city, and the government has the responsibility to conserve and promote the story of this successful city. However, the current effort in recognizing and protecting the cultural landscapes is insufficient. Conservation in Hong Kong is being categorized, institutionally, into three main parts, the built heritage, the natural landscape, and the Intangible Cultural Heritage. The idea Cultural Landscapes treasure all three of them. In the study we would explore the following questions: 1. Is Hong Kong conserving cultural landscape effectively with the current government structure and planning tools? 2. What can urban planning do in conserving cultural landscapes with minimal transaction cost? 3. Is it possible to improve the conservation of cultural landscape through the application of institutional reform and establishment of a new zoning? In order to fulfill the study goal and objectives, this study will be set up in 8 sections. The order will be Background, Literature Review, Institutional Review, Zoning Review, Case Study (Wales), Recommendations, Demonstration of Recommendations, and Conclusions. The study will be conducted as a qualitative research, which data would be collected through desktop research, professional interviews, and focus group interviews. The ultimate goal of this study is to promote the uniqueness of Hong Kong's culture by applying the cultural landscape concept, assessing the effectiveness of conservation process, identifying the hidden problems, and providing solutions for better assisting the process of conservation from an urban planning perspective. The study will only be focusing on recognizing the value of cultural landscape, reviewing the institutional structure and examine the possibility of creating a new zoning in Hong Kong. However, further study about the management of cultural landscape, government budget and the debate of property rights will not be discussed in this paper. At the end of the paper, the study suggested an institutional reform of establishing a new Conservation Unit to oversee all conservation process in order to reduce the transaction cost. Meanwhile, another suggestion would be adapting a new zoning name Cultural Landscape to provide better protection and development to our past, and lead them to the future.

Download or read book Heritage Making in Hong Kong through Culture and Religion written by Trevor Sofield and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centres on religious heritage-making where religion as a rich and diverse manifestation of culture and community empowerment lead to the transformation of place. Fusing heritage and religion in the novel multidisciplinary concept ‘heri-ligion’, the authors illuminate the dynamics of change inherent in religious-oriented heritage-making. Grounded in empirical evidence, this rich concept integrates religious tourism, heritage tourism, and community-based empowerment for sustainable development. Applying this unique concept to the once abandoned Hakka village of Yim Tin Tsai, the authors analyse the evolving paths of the island from its Hakka origins to a Christian pilgrimage site, and more recently, to a UNESCO cultural heritage site and thriving tourist destination. The authors foreground the important role of the scattered community as a key agent of change in facilitating a sustainable environment of Hong Kong’s only salt-producing place today. A dynamic example of community development and empowerment founded upon religious, cultural, industrial and natural heritage, this book uniquely contributes to tourism and heritage studies, human geography, cultural sociology, Hakka studies, Asian studies, and anthropology of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural heritage has become a significant part of the cultural economy. Often criticized for its top down approach led by experts, and reflecting a western, elite class interpretation of heritage, the cultural heritage management industry has been trying to place the people at the centre of heritage conservation practices over recent years. This change of paradigm is, in part, due to the recognition of heritage as a significant aspect of everyday life, as well as a fluid yet undeniable attribute of identity and sense of place. In Hong Kong, a fast changing and transient city, the need for heritage conservation has only been recently fully acknowledged. In 2007, the authorities launched a new public-private partnership, known as the Revitalisation Scheme. Mei Ho House was integrated in the first batch of the scheme as the last remain of the first generation of public housing in Hong Kong. The building was transformed into a youth hostel with a museum displaying people’s life in the post-war public housing estates. The present thesis investigates this seemingly successful conservation project on the premise that heritage is a dialogue between the material world and the individual. It discusses the legal and cultural context of heritage conservation in Hong Kong, and explores the meaning of vernacular architecture in Hong Kong and the discourse suggested by the museum. The visitors’ response is also scrutinized as a significant part in the heritage-making process.
