“…Meanwhile, the outpaced growth of the aging population will put tremendous pressure on the social security system, especially on “facilities for the elderly” (R. Chen, Xu, Li, & Song, ). Cultural and sports projects may directly contribute to enriching the living environment for present and future generations (Xiao et al, ). The advantages of scale and technology of private sectors in PPPs are beneficial for improving the scarcity, availability, and professionalism of these social infrastructure projects (Gil‐Flores, Rodríguez‐Santero, & Torres‐Gordillo, ; Humphreys & Zhou, ; Wong et al, ), which can improve the local residents' satisfaction with these facilities.…”

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly adopted in China. Sustainability of PPPs has become a priority for a sustainable development of PPPs. Most prior studies focus on sustainable implementation of PPP projects. Few research efforts have been done to examine the impacts of PPPs to sustainability from an external perspective and a more macro geographical scale. Meanwhile, the social aspect of the sustainability of PPPs has not been widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to propose a social sustainability contribution evaluation system (SSCES) for PPPs to evaluate PPPs' contribution to regional social sustainability at the institutional level. An indicator system of the SSCES for PPPs was developed, which included 8 requirements for socially sustainable development and 33 social sustainability indicators. The weights of indicators were determined by using the analytic hierarchy process method. The results indicate that, in the context of China, promoting peopleoriented urbanization in PPPs can help enhance regional social sustainability. This study provides a useful evaluation tool for various stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability of PPPs from an institutional level, especially for local governments to review current PPP polices and make improvements.

“…of artifacts and objects. However, the use of 3D digital models, especially in the case of sculptures or other 3D objects, gives some advantages [12][13][14]. The 3D models allow for the transferring of all information on a single file and permit the observation of the entire object surface by rotating the models [9].…”

A New Practical Approach for 3D Documentation in Ultraviolet Fluorescence and Infrared Reflectography of Polychromatic Sculptures as Fundamental Step in Restoration

2019

The aim of this work is to present a new practical approach to digital photogrammetry to obtain 3D models of polychromatic sculptures under ultraviolet fluorescence and near-infrared by starting from photographic images. This digital photogrammetry was applied recently to a 17th-century reliquary bust representing St. Rodonio, a saint particularly venerated by the Orthodox Church, presently under restoration in the Laboratories of University of Tuscia and belonging to the Museum of Colle del Duomo of Viterbo (Italy). The acquisitions of ultraviolet fluorescence and infrared frames were performed using a Nikon D5300 digital SLR camera and a modified low-cost digital camera (Samsung Model NX3300), respectively. The three-dimensional UV and IR models were obtained using Agisoft PhotoScan ® software. The generated ultraviolet 3D model of the bust makes visible, in a single file, the fluorescence induced by UV radiation on the entire sculpture, highlighting surface abrasions, organic dyes, and ancient protective features. The infrared 3D model allowed for better definition of the details of the drawing used for eyes, nose and mouth definition. In conclusion, the ultraviolet fluorescence and IR 3D models of Saint Rodonio were particularly useful as documentation tools for the conservation status and for the painting construction, allowing us to perfectly map the original and restoration materials and to detect the drawing in single dynamic 3D files following a totally non-invasive, cost-effective, and rapid approach.

“…It was created based on historical conditions when parents would split their fields to ensure a fair share for each of their children. Cultural heritage consists primarily of specific features in the physical landscape associated with cultural meanings and related to histories of human use [32,33].Rural areas in Poland and throughout the world require deep structural transformations connected both with agricultural production and the size of farms, spatial and technical configuration of plots, and the demographic, spatial, and institutional structures. Both the economic and environmental effects of rural management works are irrefutable [34].…”

Land fragmentation and the distribution of plots in rural areas has a negative effect on the profitability and efficiency of agricultural production. Land consolidation and exchange is an operation that facilitates improvements in the spatial structure, while at the same time contributing to the sustainable development of rural areas. With regard to the large number of problem areas, they cannot be subject to land consolidation and exchange at the same time for reasons related to finance and human resources. Therefore, the authors propose that land for consolidation should be consolidated into larger typological units. Identifying those areas that are most similar facilitates the analysis and makes it possible to capture the spatial differentiation of land. The proposed method was tested on 116 villages in the county of Łęczna, situated in Lublin Voivodeship in Eastern Poland. The aim of this research is to develop the concept of village grouping into larger typological units. The obtained results allowed for the creation of a grouping methodology based on selected diagnostic variables that can be applied to other research objects. The description of differences between the identified groups of villages makes it possible to determine the hierarchy of urgency of for land consolidation and exchange. Although delimitation itself does not determine the sequence in which consolidation should be performed, it does allow for the identification of similar areas where such works should be performed at the same time. Based on properly selected guidelines, it is also possible to develop an adequate hierarchy of works. In addition, identifying areas which share similar spatial characteristics and consolidating them has a positive influence, primarily on the cultural heritage, because some variables reflect both quantitative and qualitative aspects of human development on the use of land and on the built-up environment.privatisation. Another negative factor resulting in negative spatial structure is the distribution of plots. In world literature, both fragmentation and the distribution of land is referred to as 'land fragmentation'. The authors distinguish four types of land fragmentation, depending on the number of owners using the specific piece of land, the form of ownership or title, the type of use, and the geometric structure of plots [6,9]. Along with the increase in the number of arable plots and their distance from the farmer's settlement, the cost of production increases and the farmer's income decreases [19][20][21][22][23]. The fragmentation of the land of individual farms is a huge problem that is a barrier to its development, modernization, and has the effect of the lowering the profitability obtained from production farming.A land surveying tool used for improving the arrangement of land is the operation of consolidation and the exchange of land which exists in Poland and in the world, for example, in such countries as the Netherlands [17], Cyprus [9], Slovakia [24] Czech Republic [25], China [26], Finland [27]...
