“…This attitude is also evident when mountain areas are taken into account. In this context, relevant elements differ in terms of landscape [13][14][15], climate change [16], the importance of ecotourism [17,18] or, overall, natural [19] and architectural heritage [20].…”

Abstract:Evidence from several studies illustrates the different points of view through which sustainability and mountains have been studied over the years. Nowadays, interest in Millennials is increasing but no research has compared Millennials and sustainability in the mountain context. This study aims at defining sustainability with reference to Millennial perception of both winter and summer mountain sports. By analysing data gathered from a sample of 2292 Millennials (Piedmont area), the authors confirm their high degree of sensitivity towards sustainable issues and, above all, discover that there are differences in the sustainable perception Millennials have of both mountain winter and summer sports. More specifically, Millennial perception is deeply influenced by the place where they are used to living-mountains or cities-and by their gender. From a managerial point of view, results have direct implications on the administrators of mountain institutions who can implement appropriate initiatives in order to correctly sensitise Millennials towards mountain sports. Moreover, from a theoretical perspective, the study opens a new scenario on two important topics linked to sustainability, namely Millennials and mountain sports.

“…This historic environment attribute pertains on conservation and enhancement measures to be taken if features are found on project's site along with history information and public access. Literature shows that this aspect is a wide exclusive field and growing importance in the society because heritage is worthy in promoting community regeneration, identity, and cultural significance [36,44,45]. If any new sustainable infrastructure development is planning to be built on the site with unique listed buildings or monuments on it which those features have been declared to have special architectural, archaeological, aesthetic value or historic interest importance to the local community, a formal consent from conservation statutory authorities is required [36].…”

“…Hence, Swensen [44] suggested that the ideal design for new and contemporary sustainable development is balancing the integration of new structures in a historical setting such as making the existing features a waterfront project or transforming the old buildings as landmark. On the other hand, to ensure a well preservation of the architectural heritage value of the site, public funding is expected from the local communities and visitors [45].…”

The rapid growing of urban populations has triggered the deterioration of natural resources and acceleration of climate change. Therefore, the development of sustainable infrastructure is playing an important role in order to minimize these issues. Generally, most of the sustainable rating tools are designed to focus on building projects only but not applicable to infrastructure projects. Specifically in Malaysia, there is limited studies have been done on the application of sustainable rating system to the infrastructure projects and literature also reveals that the Malaysian construction industry players still have little understanding on the sustainable infrastructure assessment. With these limitations, hence, this paper corresponds to fill the gap by exploring the sustainability attributes in assessing the infrastructure projects. In this paper, an extensive literature review was conducted to give an overview of several worldwide practical sustainable infrastructure rating tools and identifies the most important attributes for assessing the infrastructure projects, which is based on comprehensive and conventional reviews of considerable volume of published journals from 1993 until 2023 in the area of sustainable infrastructure rating system. Based on the best reference of CEEQUAL sustainability topic areas, the results of the review clarified that a total of 14 attributes like effects on neighbours, users, and the workforce; relation with the local community and other stakeholders; transport; material use; waste management; use of land; restoration of contaminated land; landscape issue; water environment; water resources; flood risk; historic environment; ecology and biodiversity; besides energy consumption and carbon emissions are identified as the relevant sustainability attributes for assessing the development of infrastructure projects in Malaysia.

“…In addition, an importance assessment conducted by experts cannot capture the dynamics, iterations, and essence of social value [8]. More importantly, Harvey (2001), Evans (2002), Yung et al, (2020), and Grey (2020) found the protection of heritage should be based on the "community" to discuss the importance of local residents and tourists participating in heritage protection [33][34][35][36][37] because the public and experts agree on cultural significance [38]. This is because community residents are more familiar with local cultural relics than tourists and experts, and are more willing to protect their heritage [37,39].…”

On the Sustainability of Local Cultural Heritage Based on the Landscape Narrative: A Case Study of Historic Site of Qing Yan Yuan, China

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As a feature of local cultural heritage, historical garden sites should not only focus on landscape sightseeing, but should also champion the sustainability of cultural heritage and promote the local community’s wellbeing. This article uses the landscape narrative method to explore how the local public, with both professional and non-professional backgrounds, manages the cultural heritage and enhances its sustainability. Qing Yan Yuan is a historical garden site in Huai’an, Jiangsu Province, China, and constitutes the research area of this study. This article firstly conducts in-depth interviews with local residents with non-professional backgrounds; then, it collects relevant information from professionals, such as introductions, comments, news, periodicals, etc.; finally, it adopts the content analysis method to decode, summarize and sort out accordingly. Through the analysis of landscape narrative data, this paper found that three cultural heritage value strategies are used by the public: (1) origin landscape narrative; (2) functional landscape narrative; (3) meaningful landscape narrative. The origin landscape narrative is the expression of a cultural heritage value of “past presentation”; the functional landscape narrative is a cultural heritage value of “place identity”; the meaningful landscape narrative shows a cultural heritage value of “future education”; all these together constitute the local public subjective conception of the sustainability of cultural heritage.
