“…Recreation programming is an important factor in designing leisure experiences and attracting visitors from the perspective of leisure and recreation [41]. Heritage sites are often visualised as places of leisure and markets because such places can hold social activities that help to create a cultural identity [23]; for example, community activities were important in the process of museum reuse [42]. A further contribution of this study is to demonstrate that activity is an important attractor, including food enjoyment, static art activities, dynamic art activities, walking, and family activities; for example, the heritage visitors often had a greater interest in the local gastronomy [10,11].…”

The Attractiveness of Adaptive Heritage Reuse: A Theoretical Framework

Adaptive heritage reuse is a useful method to bring new meaning into a culture, manage heritage sites, and promote tourism development. However, it is not always successful, and there is no theoretical framework to understand its attractiveness and value. This study aimed at developing such a theoretical framework based on the analysis of nine cases of adaptive heritage reuse in Taiwan. The probe question technique of qualitative interview was used to assess the attraction framework. A total of 90 respondents were interviewed based on constant comparative analysis with the sampling strategy of theoretical saturation. The results illustrate the heritage and activities of the reuse environments, including natural and regional environments. These environments produce recreational values, including self-growth, health benefits, and social benefits. As promoting activities is an important attraction for tourists in the heritage reuse environment, the natural environment can be used to plan and design heritage outdoor activities. Finally, the regional environment can be an important basis for assessing the feasibility of adaptive heritage reuse, including historical streets, surrounding tourist attractions, and high transportation accessibility. This theoretical framework can be used to achieve sustainable management of heritage sites.

“…Compliance with the psychological and social needs, economics logic, strategic objectives and best location variant criteria were chosen. It was done after a practical case study of construction projects and analysis of literature sources, in which the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, outdoor spa, swimming pool, garden, parking spaces, state of repair, architecture style, socioeconomic profile of neighbourhood, energy efficiency, distance [35], situation in the labour market, labour supply cost, amenities and neighbourhood quality [36], appropriative control of the green building project development [37], distance from the city centre and quality of the site [38], structural attributes, accessibility, public and private service amenities [39], city structure and house location [40] and strategy to rent [41], were factors for house pricing and housing strategy development. The goal of the AHP method, its criteria and its alternatives are presented in the Figure 6.…”

In this work, the process of roofing projects' execution is considered. The proper analysis of this process is important to optimise the behaviour of a project's participants and to perform risk evaluation. The main result of this work is methodology, which can be used to optimise a project owner's decisions and potentially can be applied for risk control or integrated into expert systems. This methodology includes the application of a decision tree and AHP (analytic hierarchy process) method to perform the modelling for roof installation project selection. In the proposed approach, a decision tree describes the process with nodes representing the states of a project. The tree includes the decision on whether to sell the project results or not, which requires the estimation of the subjective opinion of the project owner. These subjective values are used in the decision tree leaves. We propose to perform this estimation with the AHP method and describe how to do it in this paper. A particular example was considered. The proposed methodology was applied to that case, and all details of the process and results are provided. Using the proposed methodology, the adapted version of a specific, current situation model of project participants' behaviours can be formed, allowing one to make the most efficient decisions in the light of the existing constraints. The application of results can increase the investor protection and contribute to the general sustainability of investments.

Construction work on buildings covered by the revitalization program of historic urban development represents a special type of construction project in which, in the execution phase, difficult technical situations and other risk sources are being encountered. An important source of risk is the necessity to preserve a part of the historic substance, which results, among others, from the recommendations of the conservator, legal regulations or from the vision of the architect/investor. The risk is also associated with difficulties and complications in construction works resulting from the location of these objects in dense urban development. The aim of the article is to identify risk factors and reactions of contractors, i.e. applied risk management methods and techniques, based on the example of a complex of buildings constructed in the historic district of Krakow. The elimination of sources of risk, especially of a technical nature, requires the construction management to be highly skilled and experienced, to carefully prepare the construction work and to design additional solutions to ensure safety at work. The experience gained may serve as a basis for risk analysis and identification during the implementation of projects involving the use of an existing building and historic substance in areas subject to revitalization programs.
