“…This article will use a landscape approach to understand how people value urban heritage through participatory heritage websites. This is an inclusive understanding of urban heritage, focusing not only on isolated heritage sites and objects but also on the wider physical, cultural, and social context (Bandarin, 2015; Veldpaus, 2015). This means that I will consider the diverse meanings that people attach to urban landscapes.…”

“…To assess this urban heritage, the HUL recommendation introduces a distinction between attributes and values. Attributes refer to what is preserved in urban landscapes, encompassing both intangible and tangible heritage (Veldpaus, 2015). Over the years, the scope of what is defined as heritage has broadened to include “living,” intangible heritage, such as traditions and rituals (Aikawa-Faure, 2009; Graham, 2002; Vecco, 2010).…”

“…These values concern the reasons why people want to protect heritage attributes (e.g., aesthetic, historic, and social values). Instead of conflating attributes and values , which often happens in the literature, Veldpaus (2015) succinctly clarifies the distinction between the two terms: “Attributes are what we value, or what creates values, and the values are the reason(s) why a resource is valuable” (p. 128). She goes on to explain (pp.…”

“…The HUL recommendation, which was adopted by the UNESCO in 2011, helpfully distinguishes between heritage attributes and values. The attributes refer to the actual intangible and tangible heritage that is preserved, whereas the values concern the motivations for preservation (Veldpaus, 2015). The central research question of this article is this: Which attributes and values of urban heritage can be observed on participatory heritage websites?…”

This study examines how people value their historic urban landscapes through participatory heritage websites. These websites are online places where citizens actively contribute to the conservation of urban heritage. Taking UNESCO’s 2011 Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape as its theoretical starting point, this study understands urban landscapes as (1) dynamic, because they change over time; (2) multilayered, as different generations and communities contribute in diverse ways to the development of urban landscapes; and (3) mediated through digital technologies such as participatory heritage websites. Furthermore, this UNESCO recommendation is used to make a distinction between the kinds of heritage discussed on the websites (attributes) and the significance attached to it (values). Through a qualitative content analysis of 20 participatory heritage websites from various Dutch and English cities, the study examines what is valued by those who contribute in their urban environments. In so doing, the study demonstrates how online media can support a people-oriented form of urban heritage conservation. This analysis reveals that the following five categories of heritage attribute are remembered by citizens: (1) the built environment and public space, (2) the social fabric and identity, (3) culture and leisure, (4) business and industry, and (5) politics and public order. Moreover, it is found that these attributes are valued because of their social relevance (social value), their connection to the biographies of citizens (experiential value), and their contribution to our understanding of the urban past (historical value).

“…Globalization has placed urban conservation as an important factor in urban planning and is necessary for sustainable development (Appendino, 2017;Staniforth, 2000); on the other hand, creating unavoidable contradictions between traditional and modern representations (Bandarin & van Oers, 2012;Siregar, 2018). Recognition of the importance of historical and cultural representation as heritage makes it more modern, globalized, and more commercial than ever and creates actions that seem like copy-paste (Veldpaus, 2015). Likewise, in urban planning, standardization in the planning process creates uniformity in urban design documents (Samadhi, 2001).…”

This study explores the role of cultural traditions in maintaining identity for the city’s sustainability by looking at the relationship between cultural traditions, conservation, and urban design. Local culture, customs, and traditions are recognized as forming the character of space that gives identity. So cultural sustainability becomes a higher emphasis in sustainable development activities. Tradition can be understood and even creates a sense of place for local communities towards their environment in globalization if the principle of cultural essence is not threatened. Gianyar City, Bali, was chosen as a case study representing other cities with possibly similar characteristics. This area has the potential to fulfill a sustainable urban revitalization initiative. The study shows three urban form determinants, the dominant characteristics that project the attributes of fixedness and permanence: (1) Desa Adat, (2) pempatan agung (catuspatha), and (3) spatial division based on direction orientation (mandala and luan teben). It proves that tradition can bridge the change and development of community culture by ensuring that the basic beliefs of a group can be expressed and maintained in a residential environment.
