“…Some excluded publications have case study implementations similar to the HUL approach but no reference to the Recommendation (Taha, 2014;Siravo, 2015). Some correctly refer to the HUL approach, but their focus shifted in the implementation phase (Psarra, 2018;De Medici et al, 2018;Berg, 2018;Moertiningsih et al, 2020;Garau, 2020;Hussein et al, 2020;Dhingra & Chattopadhyay, 2021;Kashihara, 2021;Klingmann, 2021;Giuliani et al, 2021). The 29 remaining publications reference the Recommendation, comprehend the approach, implement it in some cases, and develop proposals to improve implementation.…”

Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) identifies an urban area due to its cultural and natural values and the qualities of its historical plane. Within this context, this article aims to determine and categorize these values used in the HUL approach as indicators. The research question focuses on finding specific indicators used in the HUL approach to measuring change beyond considering natural and cultural heritage values in the landscape context. These indicators in 228 peer-reviewed publications implementing the HUL from 2008 to 2021 are assessed. The six-step inclusive and exclusive theoretical framework is established as a method in this article to detect the inadequate implementations of HUL in case studies. The initial finding of this article is that the adequacy of using the HUL approach in publications is questionable as the implementation of the HUL approach processes was incomplete or misunderstood in most of them. Only 29 articles of the 228 publications implemented the HUL approach in its entirety. The other finding is that when the change measurement indicators in the HUL approach are examined, it is evident that natural indicators were the least used group compared to cultural and identity indicators. Each cultural, natural, and identity indicator group should be utilized evenly to implement the HUL approach adequately. This article presents a fundamental indicator list that includes cultural, natural, and identity groups for correctly using the HUL approach.

“…The debate also presents an empirical approach to the challenges of disaster risks and climatic hazards, with many authors developing specific studies and tools with the aim of understanding and increasing resilience levels within specific case-studies, with the main goal of risk prevention and the elaboration of mitigation strategies [16,35,[42][43][44][45] The importance of local architecture preservation is the main approach within this speech, often associated with the bonds that buildings represent towards the preservation of specific cultural and natural characteristics of a community [46,47]. The authors of [41,48] define the sense of belonging and local identity as the link between inhabitants and a physical space, introducing the idea of "place attachment" and local communities as the safeguard of important values such as authenticity and identity, seen by the literature as intangible aspects of heritage.…”

“…Concerning the role of cultural resilience in the face of urban sustainability and climate change, and the aim of overcoming its challenges, cultural heritage is often presented as a very valuable resource. Additionally, other topics, such as food heritage [46,56] and ecosystem services [57][58][59], are studied as tools for urban public health improvement, achieved by giving more attention to the specific environmental characteristics of heritage cities and its impact on local residents [60].…”

The Relationship between Intangible Cultural Heritage and Urban Resilience: A Systematic Literature Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The need to study and understand urban resilience has been defended by academics, justified by a new global context characterized by a growing urban population and a changing climate. Moreover, the importance of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has been recognized by UNESCO since 2003. Nevertheless, the relationship between ICH and urban resilience discourses is recent, with academic studies on this topic seeing an exponential growth from 2017 onward. This article aims to develop a systematic literature review in order to answer the research question “how does intangible heritage relate to urban resilience?” and present current academic debates on this relationship. Following a methodology which entailed an academic database search and the application of exclusion criteria, 94 results from Scopus and Web of Science were retrieved and analysed. The article presents a discussion of results and showcases an existing linkage between both areas of study. This study demonstrates the fragmentation and diversity of the debates when addressing the relationship between the two topics, with an existing focus on sustainability discourses, built heritage and the role of local communities. Moreover, the article also shows a prevalence of discourses based on an engineering resilience approach. Considerations for future approaches to ICH and urban resilience are presented, namely, the need to better integrate ICH into urban resilience discourses.

“…Notably, this shift explicitly recognises the importance and role of CH in DRM. It attempts to reduce overall disaster risk to those CH sites [12], in which contemporary scholars are exploring the integration of CH into the broader concept of DRM both conceptually [15] and practically [16,17].…”

Global cultural heritage is threatened by the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters caused by climate change. International experts emphasise the importance of managing cultural heritage sustainably as part of a paradigm shift in cultural heritage perception, understanding, and management. This paradigm shift has stimulated a need to integrate cultural heritage into pre-existing disaster risk management governance. However, there is currently a lack of robust and practical approaches to map the complex nature of disaster risk management governance. It is here considered that a shared understanding of the respective roles and responsibilities of the different organisations involved in risk management is a critical element in improving the preparedness of cultural heritage sites. The purpose of this article is to present the utility of the Organigraph technique and its main components as a tool to map governance structures, identify key stakeholders, and integrate cultural heritage experts into wider disaster risk management. The article presents a semi-empirical research approach, consisting of four iterative phases in which a series of digital workshops, semi-structured meetings, and bilateral expert meetings were used to co-produce five Organigraphs for heritage sites participating in an ongoing European Project. Our findings suggest that Organigraphs provide a valuable tool at the disposal of practitioners and academics with the potential to provide a basis for cross-national, cross-issue, and cross-scale peer learning between heritage sites. Furthermore, the technique is a valuable self-diagnostic tool to facilitate learning and proactive discussions in the preparedness phase of disaster risk management. Finally, they facilitate the co-creation of solutions through an evolving, interactive platform to integrate data-driven approaches.
