Harmonious Environmental Management of Cultural Heritage and Nature By Chien-Nien Chen (Otto Chen) BSc, MSc A Dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Engineering Department of Civil Engineering Mar 2019 Approximately 74000 words One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that at the very lowest and saddest times in his life, there was only one set of footprints. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." To the Lord ABSTRACT Currently, there is a lack of substantial integration in considering both natural and heritage environment with respect to managing change in either heritage conservation or environment protection. The failure of achieving harmonious environmental management can hence often be seen, leading to conflicting situation or even irreversible loss. This study therefore seeks to develop a framework/methodology for ‘Harmonious Environmental Management of Cultural Heritage and Nature (i.e. water environment particularly)’, to simultaneously mitigate the existing knowledge gaps in both domains, through a holistic view that is scarce in literature. The study primarily examines the issues from values-based theory, minimal intervention theory, the dichotomy between culture and nature, and the conduct of Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), all play critical roles in managing change whilst they are either narrow in considerations or confined to some extents, leading to the inadequacy in application and the incapability to catch up with the latest revolution of heritage conservation that features broadening the lens to people and nature, rather than merely the fabric. The research proposes some novel perspectives and approaches, through the explorations from the sphere of philosophy, theory, practice, to application sphere, presented respectively as four chapters. Moreover, it covers different temporal (past, present and future) and spatial (regional and global) scales, as follows: 1) for the past, the regional pluralism of heritage conservation is echoed. It explores the philosophy of ancient Chinese regarding the interaction between people, nature and built world, as well as accommodating changes, as the underlying core concept—harmony—for the rest chapters; 2) for the present, a more comprehensive intervention approach featuring matrix thinking covering heritage, nature and people sphere is developed. Followed by examining the emerging issues in conducting HIA that has troubled the world: 3) the incompatibility of HIA within Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which portrays four patterns of statutory system from global lens, and proposes a HIA approach in response to the troublesome discourse; and 4) for the future, a participatory decision-making support method is developed for environmental planning involving water cultural heritage and nature, which is also a manifestation of the applicability of the proposed matrix approach. The integrated method tackles a real dilemma case in a historic town of Taiwan, with a scarce function of scenario forecasting to address the condition of the context. This part is presented as a more pragmatic and quantitative complement to the conceptual developments in the previous parts, for rounding out the whole exploration towards harmonious change management.

    MUMBAI CITY MUSEUM NORTH WING DESIGN COMPETITION EXHIBITION Shortlisted Teams’ Summaries Steven Holl Architects Winner ADDITION AS SUBTRACTION: Mumbai City Museum’s new North Wing addition is envisioned as a sculpted subtraction from a simple geometry formed by the site boundaries. The sculpted cuts into the white concrete structure bring diffused natural light into the upper galleries. Deeper subtractive cuts bring in exactly twenty-five lumens of natural light to each gallery. The basically orthogonal galleries are given a sense of flow and spatial overlap from the light cuts. The central cut forms a shaded monsoon water basin which runs into a central pool. In addition to evaporative cooling, the pool provides sixty per cent of the museum’s electricity through photovoltaic cells located below the water’s surface. The white concrete structure has an extension of local rough-cut Indian Agra red stone. The circulation through the galleries is one of spatial energy, while the orthogonal layout of the walls foregrounds the spectacular Mumbai City Museum collections. MUMBAI CITY MUSEUM NORTH WING DESIGN COMPETITION EXHIBITION Shortlisted Teams’ Summaries AL_A Honourable mention Using the power of absence to create connections between the old and the new, a sunken courtyard or aangan, taking inspiration from the deep and meaningful significance of the Indian stepwell, is embedded between the existing Museum building and the new North Wing. The courtyard is a metaphor for the cycle of the seasons, capturing the dramatic contrasts of the climate in the fabric of the museum. It is a metaphor for the cycle of time, where people can rethink their place in the world in a space for contemplation and a place for art and culture.

  • The Institutional Viability of Water Management Practices in Subak Deman
    The institutional viability of water management practices in subak Deman Dicky Fransisco Simanjuntak 840511181120 September 2018 MSc thesis Knowledge, Technology and Innovation CPT-80836 Supervisor: dr.ir. SR (Sietze) Vellema 1 Executive Summary Local irrigation system managed in Bali namely subak Deman is under pressure from water scarcity. Most literatures on water management focus on the actors; however there is less emphasis on the practice and institution that emerges from the practice. Therefore, the objective of this research is to understand to what extent and how the institutional features of water management practices in the subak system stay intact under the condition of external pressures. This research evaluated the institutional features of water management practices in subak Deman using Perri 6’s institutional viability theory by observing water management practices and interviewing the actors on the way they manage the irrigation system. By doing that, this research understood whether the institution can survive under the external pressure. This research was done for 3 months in subak Deman, Tabanan, Bali, Indonesia. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on water management from the perspective of institutional dynamic of water management practices. Key words: water management-social technical practices-institutional viability-solidarities- subak 2 Acknowledgements All praise, honour and glory to my saviour Jesus Christ, for His abundant grace and mercy for the accomplishment of this thesis. I would like to thank my supervisor dr.ir. Sietze Vellema, who always guides and supports me in completing this research. I would like also to thank my second reader dr.ir. Harro Maat, for your time in reading this report.

  • Development of Participatory Educational Tourism Map in Subak Pulagan
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 SJIF (2020): 7.803 Development of Participatory Educational Tourism Map in Subak Pulagan Ida Ayu Tantri1, Sang Putu Kaler Surata2, Nyoman Utari Vipriyanti3 Department of Regional Development Planning and Environmental Management Post - graduate Program, Mahasaraswati University Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia Abstract: In 2012, UNESCO has designated several subak areas in Bali as world cultural heritage (WBD), because they have various extraordinary values, namely various norms, concepts, and life practices that can be applied to all human beings regardless of religious differences, beliefs, country and generation. According to UNESCO (2012) there are three extraordinary universal values of the Subak area that have been designated as WBD, namely the implementation of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy (three causes of life balance), an egalitarian democratic system and the role of the Subak temple network in managing lowland rice agroecology with a focus on aspects of spirituality. The main focus of educational tourism is to increase awareness by participating in maintaining the integrity of the environment (local culture) through a willingness to contribute to increasing the income of local communities. The development of educational tourism is one of the efforts to diversify and improve the quality of tourism products in maintaining the sustainability of the tourism business. The study used a participatory follow - up study design, which consisted of planning, implementing, observing and reflecting. The results of land use mapping in Pulagan Subak starting from the north (which includes the Gunung Kawi Temple Site Area) which shows that most of the subak area is used as rice fields, interspersed with garden areas/fields/moorlands in the north and along the east and south sides of Subak Pulagan.
