“…Heritage Studies has presented many examples of decision-making on issues where there is an observable conflict of subjective interests, for example between local people and the state in Uganda where the former disputes the latter's decision that building mass grave memorials will have a positive impact on national healing (Giblin 2014, 512); such overt disputes have rightly been explored (Fan 2013;Aykan 2015). Contemporary international disputes, like discussion of conflict zone protection within UNESCO, highlight the ways in which more covert decision-making in various contexts can control or prevent on potential discussion of issues (Meskell 2015).…”

“…Many scholars call for community participation in heritage conservation and tourism development, both in decisionmaking and benefit sharing, to reduce negative impacts and enhance benefits to local residents (Aas et al, 2005;Fan, 2014;Su and Wall, 2012;Timothy & Boyd, 2003;Timothy & Tosun, 2003).…”

World Heritage Sites are designated following evaluations of their universal values. However, their use is often shared by different user groups who may attach different meanings to the same heritage, leading to different interpretations and uses. This situation raises important questions for visitor management at World Heritage Sites, where a variety of users must be accommodated. Using Temple of Heaven as an example, the motivations, preferences and experiences are explored for three major user groups: residents, domestic and international tourists. Results show that residents and tourists exhibit different spatial and temporal patterns of use. Most local users are elderly and use the place regularly for exercise and social purposes. The historical and cultural values are widely recognized but tourists are motivated more strongly than local users to experience heritage values. Practical implications are generated to inform managers of the study site and other heritage sites shared by locals and tourists.

“…Much of the existing research relating to urban conservation and regeneration of China focuses on several key topics: the historical development process of urban conservation and regeneration in China in the context of the transforming political-economic conditions [16][17][18]; the interpretation and implication of international principles and ideas of heritage conservation and management in the Chinese context, such as the Burra Charter [19,20], the idea of authenticity [21][22][23][24], and the concept of historic urban landscape [24][25][26]; the role of governments in facilitating the revitalization of dilapidated historic quarters and generating politico-economic benefits [27][28][29][30][31], especially through cooperation with real-estate developers [32,33] and through the pursuit of World Heritage listing [15,34,35]; social capital, public participation, and interaction of regenerating and conserving historic quarters [36][37][38][39][40]; the transformation of spatial structures and urban forms in historic areas [41,42]; and the indicators for assessing the sustainability of built heritage [43,44].…”

As a vital historic neighborhood with an indeterminate large-scale planning scheme, Yingping, located in the city center of Xiamen, China, is struggling with poor livability and growing incoherent private additions and renovations that largely undermine the local historic urban landscape. Inspired by Italian typology- and morphology-led planning techniques, this study explores the possible interpretations and implications of their applications in Yingping to address its interconnected, heterogeneous, and stratified urban fabric and planning problems. The research is developed through a two-pronged multi-layered planning framework. Firstly, from the maintenance perspective, five intervention approaches are grouped, with a specific focus on the leading structural elements of the urban fabric—the arcade streets. Secondly, from the morphological view and through the ecological lens, six characterized areas are identified and classified with respective morphological features and crucial planning problems being faced. This framework provides a strategic thematization of corresponding optimizing strategies and suitable guidelines to direct future governmental actions and to support the self-maintenance of local inhabitants toward sustainable development. The study also presents the possibility that such techniques are applicable to the Chinese context and is expected to inspire further research and practices in China and beyond.
