“…However, such value-based approaches and their value typologies have been criticised [8,27,28]. Some researchers argue that the value-based approach often fails because decisions are made upon an incomplete understanding of heritage and its value [3,4,29]. Many of these scholars then propose multicriteria frameworks.…”

“…As a result, urban heritage sites have undergone inevitable changes in spatial characteristics and subsequent identities, which existing frameworks often fail to capture. Before the pandemic, many studies proposed multicriteria/multifaced heritage-assessment frameworks for holistic heritage evaluations [2][3][4][5][6]. However, these heritage-assessment frameworks that aim to categorise all values associated with heritage sites often fail to deliver an adaptive and flexible assessment [7,8].…”

Many studies acknowledge the significance of assessment frameworks for urban heritage sites in preserving their identities. Due to the pandemic and its impact on heritage sites and visitors, the spatial features and identities of many heritage sites have undergone inevitable shifts, challenging the current assessment frameworks. As numerous urban heritage sites are being revitalised post COVID-19, this study aims to explore how heritage-assessment frameworks can be adapted during the pandemic to sustainably capture the identity of urban heritage sites, particularly from a spatial perspective. Methodologically, the study first examines existing urban-heritage-assessment frameworks, including typologies, embedded spatial attributes, and analysis methods, through a literature review. The research adopts the methodology framework for collecting and assessing evidence to demonstrate the cultural significance outlined in the ‘Guidance on identifying place and object of state-level social value in Victoria’ under Criterion G by the Heritage Council of Victoria. Chinatown, Melbourne, serves as the case study to address the research questions, utilising qualitative data from archival review and field observation. The results highlight the shortcomings of current heritage assessments, particularly in urban contexts, emphasising the overlooked importance of spatial attributes for understanding urban identity. This is exemplified by the exacerbated identity crisis in Chinatown, Melbourne, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the study recommends future heritage assessments incorporate spatial attributes with a thematic approach tailored to diverse cultural-heritage backgrounds in the post-pandemic era. The study acknowledges the sample size and encourages future studies to test the framework with case studies of varied backgrounds.

“…The Complex Social Value (CSV) theory recognizes that the value of a landscape, environmental or cultural heritage resource is the result of the combination of its economic values and its intrinsic/cultural values (e.g., historical, symbolical, social, aesthetical), which can be deduced from the role that the resource plays in a certain cultural, institutional or social context [46,47]. As affirmed by the literature [48], economic values can be subdivided into use-values (i.e., the benefits that are enjoyed by the subjects that directly experience the cultural good) and non-use values (i.e., the value that is attributed to a cultural good by a subject, even if he/she has not directly experienced that good yet or she/he will never experience it).…”

Values, Memory, and the Role of Exploratory Methods for Policy-Design Processes and the Sustainable Redevelopment of Waterfront Contexts: The Case of Officine Piaggio (Italy)

2018

In the last few decades the renewal of waterfront contexts has been especially inspired by neoliberal approaches favoring the creation of residential units and entertainment facilities. However, sustainability frameworks suggest that the economic dimension should be interpreted in a way that goes beyond the profitability of the interventions and that takes into account non-monetary values as well. In light of the complex social value (CSV) theory—which considers as a fundamental value component the intrinsic values attributed by communities to environmental and cultural heritage resources—this article proposes the adoption of exploratory methods to firstly map and then integrate citizens’ points of view into the evaluation and design of redevelopment scenarios, selecting the ex-industrial complex of Officine Piaggio (Italy) as a case study. Survey results highlighted that discrepancies between the new functions advanced by official redevelopment proposals and citizens’ opinions were present, and that values such as memory and collective meaning need to be considered if multidimensional sustainability represents a goal. Coherent with these results, a new project scenario is then envisioned and implications related to the application of exploratory methods in the decision-making and policy-design processes are finally advanced.

“…The decision-making process requires a transparent and straightforward approach (Fatoric and Seekamp, 2017), covering a broad range of both qualitative and quantitative parameters (Fusco Girard and De Toro, 2007), their hierarchical levels (Prieto et al , 2019) and judgment of the stakeholders (Cole, 2005) or experts (Velasquez and Hester, 2013) with adequate consistency (Wind and Saaty, 1980). Mrak (2013) suggested a methodological framework for analyzing, diagnosing, evaluating and monitoring spatial heritage, especially considering the management perspectives. Here the author identified the need for incorporating the views of all stakeholders for sustainably managing the AH in the current socio-economic milieu.…”

PurposeRanking and grading of architectural heritage (AH) are common for the conservation process. Decision-makers are often intuitively made decisions for the selection of the AH. However, on many occasions, these decisions are not transparent and sometimes focused only on a few aspects of the AH.Design/methodology/approachA transparent and robust methodology must be adopted to select and manage AH for the present and future generations. Selecting the list of parameters that are affecting the AH, and assessing their significance can strengthen the holistic assessment. From the literature, parameters and dimensions are identified for the evaluation of AH and its application for Odishan temple architecture (OTA). For minimizing biasedness associated with assessment, the research considered the opinion of experts, researchers and various stakeholders. For objective decision-making, the Delphi, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solutions (TOPSIS) methods were adopted.FindingsLater, by observing the dimension-wise ranks and comparing the obtained grading of OTA with the existing state of protection, it was found that some temples, though having higher values with distinct dimension, lack significantly in other dimensions. However, for unbiased evaluation, all the possible dimensions should be considered. This methodology will also be useful for other decision-making processes concerning the same.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is limited to the OTA. However, this methodology can be adopted by changing the definitions of the parameters according to the contextual needs.Practical implicationsThis methodology may be helpful for the further policy-making process for the conservation and management of such AH.Originality/valueTo date, OTA is not graded through such a methodology. Also, limited studies are found in similar line worldwide.
