“…In Vermont (USA) developed categories to determine the relative importance of one dam to another dam based on the age of a particular dam, the historical consequences with surrounding, the functions and intrinsic physical characteristics of a dam, and the historical integrity of a dam ( McClain, Lindloff, and Baer 2008). Finally, Kuban and Pretelli (2019) presented the guidelines how to assess the industrial heritage of hydroelectric plants in Italy based on six main criteria: 1) age value and historic value; 2) technological value; 3) architectural/artistic value; 4) integrity; 5) social and economic value; and 6) environmental and/or structural safety.…”

Heritage preservation is a broad topic that affects virtually all fields of human activity. One of them is industrial heritage which is, among others, represented by the construction of dams. The assessment of such constructions, which could be important from the point of view of heritage preservation and potentially be declared cultural monuments, should be based on the analysis and historical development of the particular society. It should reveal which constructions can be found in a selected area and how they are divided. Dams include hundreds of constructions. A professional heritage officer, who is to decide whether to process and submit a proposal for the inclusion of a dam in the list of cultural heritage, thus faces the problem of how to carry out the analysis effectively. This article describes a procedure for using both cluster analysis and scaling method to categorise a set of 119 dams to be able to identify exceptional, so-called iconic, structures. By comparing the selection of significant representatives of dams created by the application of the two methods, which proved to be appropriate in terms of the industrial heritage preservation, a majority concordance is reached.

“…Industrial heritage has its own interdisciplinary methodology called industrial archaeology. This term was used in 1955 by Michael Rix [14] and defined in 1963 by Hudson [15]. In this way, archaeology, its methods and techniques were placed at the service of the study of the industrial past, allowing for its reconstruction based on the remains and data collected [16].…”

Study of an “Artefact” of the Castilla Canal: Reconstruction of the Missing Machinery

et al. 2022

This work aims to apply a systematic methodology to the analysis and graphical recovery of the “artefact” of the first lock of the Canal de Castilla (“the forge of Alar del Rey”) located in the Canal de Castilla as it passes through the province of Palencia (Spain). The canal, a great engineering work that began in the 18th century, was declared an asset of cultural interest (BIC, for its acronym in Spanish) in 1991 and was included in the National Plan for Industrial Heritage. To analyze and to obtain graphic reconstruction proposals, six main activities were developed, following three phases (study of primary and complementary technological and historical sources, fieldwork, and digital reconstruction). The reconstruction proposals were evaluated using three criteria: artefact data, the number of similar artefacts, and the performance. The weights of these three criteria were obtained using the Best-Worst Method (BWM), and the reconstruction proposals were classified using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) under uncertain conditions. AutoCAD was used to obtain detailed artefact geometric documentation (plans and detail drawings of each element). The work carried out on the artefact has allowed the reconstruction of the missing machinery and its factory, establishing a proposal consistent with the technological solutions of the end of the eighteenth century as well as with the ironworks studied and with the documentary sources consulted, recovering the memory of an artefact that is about to be lost.

“…On the other hand, the rise of heritage as a cultural phenomenon on a collective scale can only be attributed to times of fundamental and continuous socio-cultural changes that accompanied societies' industrialisation, focussing on nationhood, which are all products of modernity (Shawash, 2011). Industrial heritage such as hydroelectric plants, which were constructed in the 20th century as innovative and technological structures in Europe, has attracted the attention of recent research (Kuban and Pretelli, 2019) to develop guidelines for architectural conservation. An increasing number of studies focus on good practice in industrial heritage management and suggest combining systemisation, criteria and indicators to create opportunities for incorporating heritage conservation with urban development planning (Oevermann, 2020).…”

“…research discussed the de-industrialisation problems in Jordan which lacks a clear definition of this heritage as well as the implementation of laws and legislation regarding protecting industrial heritage. We build on a new discourse which emerged over the past two decades to shed light on this part of the modern history in Jordan and the Arab world, despite its relatively short-aged era compared to other regions of the world(Abu Al Haija, 2012;Rautenberg, 2012;Kuban and Pretelli, 2019).…”

PurposeIndustrial heritage is considered an essential part of cultural heritage in the world. This heritage suffers from continued marginalisation in the Arab world, particularly in Jordan, where many industrial heritage sites have not been protected or studied well due to the lack of a clear definition of cultural heritage. Most of these sites, built in the 20th century, are gradually disappearing or scheduled for demolition. This paper explores the de-industrialisation discourse and the loss of modern industrial heritage in the Arab world, especially in Jordan.Design/methodology/approachThis research investigates the modern industrial heritage in Jordan as a case study in the Arab world. A comprehensive understanding of the industrial heritage has been obtained by adopting a case study approach and using a reconnaissance survey of potential industrial heritage sites in Jordan.FindingsSeven categories were used in the analysis of the de-industrialisation phenomenon of heritage sites: ownership, location, design and types; structure, significance, deterioration and physical condition and conservation attempts and alterations. Three main approaches to industrial heritage were identified: demolition, occasional maintenance and rare examples of conservation and adaptive reuse.Research limitations/implicationsThis study sheds light on the ownership issue of industrial structures in Jordan and invites policymakers, relevant authorities, private organisations and the public to consider the challenges and impact of de-industrialisation of such sites.Originality/valueThis research raises awareness of the de-industrialisation discourse, and highlights the value of industrial architecture dating back to the modernity period, which was short-lived in Jordan. It also calls for serious consideration of these sites to support sustainable development in the Arab World.
