The characteristics of the industrial heritage (antiquity, architectural, cultural, technological value) determined its inscription in the category of historical monuments. In recent years, non-invasive digital technologies have been used in studies focused on documenting, digitizing, preserving elements of industrial heritage. Also, another objective of digitizing the industrial heritage is to facilitate its promotion as a cultural resource among the general public. The purpose of this study is to promote the railway station of Curtea de Argeş through non-invasive technology. The analyzed industrial monument represents a symbolic building of the neo-Romanian architectural style. The building is also associated with a remarkable historical value: the railway station was also used by the Romanian royal family. Based on the use of terrestrial photogrammetry (versatile GNSS RTK GS18 I sensor) and aerial (photogrammetric flight), the authors created the 3D model of the station, obtaining a high-resolution modeling. The results of this study reflect the usefulness of modern technology for documenting, 3D modeling and promoting an industrial monument inscribed on the list of national cultural heritage. The accuracy and optimal performance of the measurements made, using GNSS technology and aerial photogrammetry, allowed highlighting the remarkable architectural and volumetric characteristics of the railway station of Curtea de Argeş Municipality.

“…Generally speaking, the present research on historic sites covers many aspects, including space transformation (Elsorady, 2012), aborigines and tourists, authenticity (Ragab, 2011), urban renewal (Pendlebury, 1999), and the utilization of industrial heritage (Conesa et al, 2008;Florentina-Cristina et al, 2014). Most of these studies take a single historic site or city/town as the research object.…”

Implications for Cultural Landscape in a Chinese Context: Geo-analysis of Spatial Distribution of Historic Sites

The protection of historic sites, especially their relationship with urban development, has become a worldwide issue, both in developed and developing countries. In the context of rapid urbanization in China, the realistic compatibility between urban construction and the protection of historic sites is always a key research topic. In this study, first, to comprehend their spatial distribution patterns, 828 historic sites throughout the country are selected based on certain criteria. Then, we conduct quantitative research using GIS software, adopting indicators that include Nearest Neighbor Index, Gini Coefficient, and Geographic Concentration Index to analyze the spatial characteristics of historic sites on the three levels of city, province and nation. The results indicate that the spatial distribution of the different types of historic sites is an agglomeration on the nationwide scale, most of which is located in the regions of the Pearl (Zhujiang) River Delta, Yangtze (Changjiang) River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin Region. Because the majority of historic sites are located within approximately 10 km of the downtown area, a certain pattern has emerged, showing that the larger cities own more historic areas, which are in a more incomplete state of preservation, indicating the fragmentation of heritage spaces. The formation mechanism of the historic sites' distribution pattern is based on the conditions of the cities/towns as well as the bid-rent theory.

“…One that keeps urban-rural regeneration and cultural sustainability is cultural heritage and artistic resources, which is a basic element of identity, continuity and development. Cultural protection is a sustainability-related target that must be achieved also by the management of a balanced tourist attraction, architecture, heritage, and cultural value (Florentina-Cristina et al, 2014;Granata and Scavone, 2016;Moldoveanu and Franc, 2014;Rashid, 2015). Related to that, in this issue, Kim and Son (2018) studied about the process of discovering new sightseeing places by tourists through self-wedding photographs.…”

In the current rapid urbanization view in most countries of the world, it is important to pay attention to legislation and policy development, the improvement of adequate infrastructure and basic services, urban planning and design. This will create an inclusive, tough, prosperous economic environment and maximize the benefits of agglomeration. Sustainable urban-rural development remains one of the most pressing global challenges of the twenty-first century. Central and local governments and their partners should pay greater attention and work together to build on a more harmonious, fair, inclusive and environmentally in urban-rural scale. According to UN-HABITAT Global Activity Report 2015, the world has experienced rapid urbanization. In 2008, the urban population exceeded the rural population. By 2050, it is expected that two thirds of the world's population will live in urban areas. With more than half of humanity living in cities, it is estimated that urban areas account for 70% of the world's gross domestic product and therefore have led to economic growth and prosperity (UN-HABITAT, 2015). Understanding of sustainable regeneration on urban-rural sustainability frameworks or sustainable urban-rural development is an aggregate of four basic aspects: economic, environmental, social and institutional. They constitute an overall framework of workflows in urban-rural sustainability; then the sustainability of the urban environment considers the relationship with the social, institutional and economic aspects (Czischke et al., 2015). Urban development should also consider the balance between natural needs in a city plan, such as the development of a green zone within the city. Wikantiyoso & Suhartono (2018) studied about local governments involve the private sector through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program in the provision of green open spaces in Malang city, Indonesia. This study examined the potential and problems of private sector involvement in urban development processes, especially the provision of urban open spaces. The descriptive analysis study was used to describe the phenomenon of CSR implementation for urban open space revitalization program. This study emphasizes the position and role of CSR in the city's green open space revitalization program to formulate a model of private sector involvement policy in the provision of green space. That needs a process of negotiation, planning, implementation and open maintenance, and this is necessary for private sector financial involvement process and the approval of detail engineering design (DED).
