  • Heritage, Local Communities and the Safeguarding of 'Spirit of Place' in Taiwan
    80 Heritage, local communities and the safeguarding of ‘Spirit of Place’ in Taiwan Peter Davis* Newcastle University, UK, Han-yin Huang** National Chiao-tung University, Taiwan, Wan-chen Liu*** Fu-Jen Catholic University, Taiwan Abstract. After brief reviews of the theoretical concepts relating to place and ecomuseological processes this paper traces the changing relationships between people and place in Taiwan. Research carried out by the authors with local communities on Matsu (a group of Taiwanese islands off the coast of mainland China), and case study material collected from local cultural workshops in southern Taiwan provides a focus for the discussion. Both sets of data demonstrate the growing awareness of heritage by local communities in Taiwan; they recognize that heritage is significant because it reflects and builds local identities, aids community sustainability and provides a sense of place. An account is given about how these inclusive processes are applied and how they appear to benefit the heritage sector in Taiwan. By encouraging community-centred approaches, consultation, involvement and democratization, significant improvements to safeguarding natural resources, the cultural environment and intangible cultural heritage might be possible. However, striking a balance between the aspirations of local heritage activists and the wider community is difficult to achieve. Key words: Taiwan, heritage, community, sustainability, ecomuseum, Heritage and ‘sense of place’. Terms such as ‘belonging’, ‘identity’, and ‘community’ are frequently used when discussing ideas about place, and the more elusive ‘sense of place’ or ‘spirit of place’. Exploring place has been a research focus in several disciplines, including anthropology, ecology, geography, psychology, sociology and (to a lesser extent) cultural and heritage studies.

To have a sense of place. Can the soul deepen and grow without such basic security? This question presses itself upon us with ever greater urgency in our own time. 'Isn't the twentieth century', Elie Wiesel asks, 'the age of the expatriate, the refugee, the stateless - and the wanderer? '2 Enforced movement, driven by chaotic social, political or economic forces is increasingly common; persons, indeed whole communities, are turned, sometimes overnight, into chronic wanderers. The destruc- tion and disappearance of natural places also contributes to this sense of homelessness; as business and technology reach ever further into the wilderness, marshalling its 'resources' for our use, it becomes more and more difficult to imagine the living world as home.

  • The Problem of (Re)Creating

The presented research focuses on sociocultural ability to (re)create spirit of a heritage site. The author defines a human habitat as a socio-cultural rhizome, and genius loci – as an intangible quality of a material site, perceived both physically and spiri- tually. Genius loci sites are identified as physical realities, and as mediators and media of societal interactions at the same time; they possess a distinguishable set of fundamental framework attributes: integrity, complementarity, continuity, a touch of eternity, non- evidence, being both a reality and an entity, and rhizomatousness. From this theoretical perspective the author defines conservation as an arboric, and sustenance of continuity – as a rhizomatic phenomenon, and makes a comparative identification of basic attributes, qualities, objectives, activities, and outcomes of the both systemic phenomena. The research resulted in two basic conclusions. First, that – though, due to on-going cultural shift in interactions with history, reconstructions gain in popularity – genius loci sites cannot be created or re-created intentionally, because they are happenings, and not creations. Second, that heritage conservation cannot substitute sustenance of traditional habitats, however, nowadays it plays an irreplaceable crucial role in safeguarding of tangible heritage, and this way becomes a cradle for emerging future cultural traditions.

    Landscape Planning Objectives for Developing the Arid Middle East by Safei El-Deen Harned Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fuliillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Design and Planning APPROVED: éobert H. Giles, Jr. Co·Cha.irrnan Robert G. Dyck, Co-Chairman éäéäffgWilliamL. Ochsenwald Saifur Rahman ä i éandolph May, 1988 Blacksburg, Virginia Landscape Planning Objectives for Developing the Arid Middle East by Safei El-Deen Hamed Robert H. Giles, Jr. Co-Chairman Robert G. Dyck, Co-Chairman Environmental Design and Planning (ABSTRACT) The purpose of this dissertation is to develop an approach which may aid decision-makers in the arid regions of the Middle East in formulating a comprehensive and operational set of landscape planning objectives. This purpose is sought through a dual approach; the first deals with objectives as the comerstone of the landscape planning process, and the second focuses on objectives as a signiiicant element of regional development studies. The benefits of developing landscape planning objectives are discussed, and contextual, ethical, political, social, and procedural diliiculties are examined. The relationship between setting public objectives and the rational planning process is surveyed and an iterative model of that process is suggested. Four models of setting public objcctives are compared and comprehensive criteria for evaluating these and other ones are suggested. Three existing approaches to determining landscape planning objectives are described and analyzed. The first, i.e., the Problem-Focused Approach as suggested by Lynch is applied within the context of typical problems that challenge the common land uses in the arid Middle East.

  • LANDSCAPE and URBAN PLANNING an International Journal of Landscape Science, Planning and Design
    LANDSCAPE AND URBAN PLANNING An International Journal of Landscape Science, Planning and Design AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.5 ISSN: 0169-2046 DESCRIPTION . Landscape and Urban Planning is an international journal aimed at advancing conceptual, scientific, and applied understandings of landscape in order to promote sustainable solutions for landscape change. Landscapes are visible and integrative social-ecological systems with variable spatial and temporal dimensions. They have expressive aesthetic, natural, and cultural qualities that are perceived and valued by people in multiple ways and invite actions resulting in landscape change. Landscapes are increasingly urban in nature and ecologically and culturally sensitive to changes at local through global scales. Multiple disciplines and perspectives are required to understand landscapes and align social and ecological values to ensure the sustainability of landscapes. The journal is based on the premise that landscape science linked to planning and design can provide mutually supportive outcomes for people and nature. Landscape science brings landscape ecology and urban ecology together with other disciplines and cross-disciplinary fields to identify patterns and understand social-ecological processes influencing landscape change. Landscape planning brings landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, landscape and ecological engineering, and other practice-oriented fields to bear in processes for identifying problems and analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating desirable alternatives for landscape change. Landscape design brings plans, designs, management prescriptions, policies and other activities and form-giving products to bear in effecting landscape change.

A set of designs in three different coastal landscape types—a cliff/steep slope; a sandy beach and an area of reed beds—located in Tallinn, Estonia, were used as the sites for nine different intervention designs. The designs were based on a combination of the site features and inspirations from solutions found in different locations internationally. Using 3D modelling and a Virtual Reality system, a set of nine videos, one to depict each intervention, was created and shown to a quota sample of 252 Estonian residents. Respondents were asked a set of questions associated with each option. The results were analysed statistically and qualitatively. The results uncovered key preferences for designs and revealed differences among age groups and the levels of personal interconnection with nature.
