Over the course of the evolution of heritage conservation practices in Thailand, several challenges and issues have emerged that currently pose significant obstacles to effective heritage management implementation within the country. These challenges highlight the need for strategies that not only address technical aspects but also foster community engagement and support. This study explores and analyses the methods used in heritage management, identify their impacts, and define any harmful practices. Through a comprehensive analysis, the found information is categorized and aligned with resources related to heritage management in Thailand. The research is based on case studies in Bangkok: Mahakarn Fort and Nang Loeng communities, which emphasize the vital role of local communities in heritage management and the necessity of their involvement in the decision-making processes. These case studies highlight how cultural heritage is managed in Thailand and underscore the urgent need for greater community involvement, underlying the fact that the policies in place date back to the 1960s and have seen little adaptation to current needs.; - 0028-01-01T00:00:00Z https://sure.su.ac.th/xmlui/handle/123456789/29527 ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM - THE CASE OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RUINS OF THE GREAT SHANGQINGGONG TEMPLE MOUNT LONGHU, CHINA: ANALYSIS, INTERPRETATION, AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT; - Xin LIU Mount Longhu is tightly associated with the emergence and longer trajectory of Taoism (as a religion). Thereby, with the evolution of Chinese civilisation from primitive society, the animal bones writing era or oracle age, the era of the "Hundred Schools of Thought Contending," the rebellion period in late Eastern Han, and the emergence of Taoism, the Great Shangqinggong Temple represents the official unit of Taoism of the central government since the Song Dynasty. The thesis traces the synthesising role of this emergence, seeing Mount Longhu as the place where the founder of Taoism (as a religion) was active in this area and the place of residence where his descendants lived as the leaders of Taoism. The archaeological ruins of the Great Shangqinggong Temple are the focus of fieldwork associated with the author's participatory observation of the government's ongoing programme of archaeological research and architectural conservation, all linked to Yingtan City's Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism. This research addresses the relationship between issues of authenticity in architectural conservation and sustainability in tourism management. While this relationship is seen to have wide relevance, it is mainly observed here in the case of the archaeological ruins of the Great Shangqinggong Temple, Mount Longhu, in the administrative region of Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, China. The various components of the complex are analysed, and their religious role and significance are determined. Issues of authenticity in architectural conservation are explored relative to Burra Charter criteria: components are variously reconstructed (new-build behaviour), conserved, and newly designed and created. In the latter cases, authenticity is significantly compromised. These new buildings, conservation, and newly designed and created construction cases are further assessed relative to both spiritual values (Taoism) and economic values (sustainable tourism), according to the objectives of the Yingtan City Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism. It is concluded from the study that there is a seeming conflict between the goals of authenticity in architectural conservation (minimal interference) and sustainable tourism. The goal of enhancing spiritual values further complicates the tension between these two objectives. It is further concluded that these tensions are to be mediated in tourism management by a focus on programmes of interpretation and communication. By stressing the educational role of tourism management and sustainable tourism, a heritage route that forms a vast heritage landscape relating to Taoism is recommended in this thesis. Directions for relevant public policy and future research are also suggested.; - 0028-01-01T00:00:00Z https://sure.su.ac.th/xmlui/handle/123456789/29526 Can Cultural Landscape be Reconstructed? - a case study of Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Jinghong City, Yunnan Province, Southern part of China.; Can Cultural Landscape be Reconstructed? - a case study of Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, Jinghong City, Yunnan Province, Southern part of China. Shengyu LIU Gaozhuang Xishuangjing (hereinafter referred to as Gaozhuang) is a newly constructed cultural tourism attraction and a landmark of Jinghong, which nests in the core spot of the tourism resort zone of Jinghong, close to the entrance of the city, and lies next to the Mekong river. It has its fame at home and abroad, which has received few awards and titles and been broadcast provincial and national over the past years. It has been attracting millions of tourists even during the pandemic situation. The influx of tourists over the past three years had almost broken ten million per year, which accounts for almost half of the whole influx of Jinghong city. However much the applause and honors it has awarded, there are critical voices such as ‘disynefication’ ‘Dongbei (Northeast region of China) night market’ ‘fake antique’ ‘social landscape not cultural’. Is it the case? Could Gaozhuang mode be a sustainable way to conserve cultural heritage and provide a possible for cultural conservation? Bearing these in mind, this dissertation is aimed to explore the answer to respond the main objective and question: Can cultural reconstruction be a way to conserve culture? The scope of this dissertation centers on Jinghong city related to cultural heritage and elements, cultural resources, and how those local cultural features presented and reconstructed in Gaozhuang tourism attraction. It has applied qualitative methods focusing on primary data collection, using targeted groups and in-depth interviews (five different groups: local officers, tourists, neighboring villagers, local business people, other local residences), participation and non-participation observations and field survey. The secondary data collection covers cultural reconstruction concept, cultural landscape, cultural heritage assessment, cultural tourism, cultural conservation and management, cultural heritage interpretation, various journals, online and offline resources, official documents. The key findings in one side suggests that Gaozhuang mode (cultural reconstruction) could be a possible way to conserve cultural heritage, and the detailed contents of these key findings are divided into three parts: 1) cultural elements in Gaozhuang; 2) cultural reconstruction of Gaozhuang; 3) authenticity issues of Gaozhuang. These three parts of information presents the positive impacts and influences that Gaozhuang plays a role in local to revive and spread local culture, to upgrade local tourism mode, to present a more traditional Dai landscape to public, to connect local community with other people and to boost the development of local. In another side, however, the collected data also exposes the inevitable problems of Gaozhuang towards to tourism management and impacts, and authenticity issues in social-cultural, economic and environmental that may challenge its sustainable development. Therefore, in the end, to cope with those problems, management and interpretation plannings are proposed in this dissertation for the future development of Gaozhuang. Gaozhuang’s success echoes that reconstructed culture cultural landscape can be the way to conserve heritage and also indicates the challenges needed to well-managed.; - 0028-01-01T00:00:00Z https://sure.su.ac.th/xmlui/handle/123456789/29525 ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION STRATEGIES:MAINTAINING THE AUTHENTICITY IN MANAGING CHANGES; - Sriwinarsih Maria Kirana Sajid From various discussions about authenticity, the discussion of authenticity at the Dutch East Indies Architecture, which was built in the context of the city of Bandung in the early 1900s, is expected to contribute new thoughts to the academic world and the world of architectural practices. This is qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing data to understand the concept, value and opinion through one-to-one personal interview, case studies research, record keeping and observation. There are two research questions: what is the authenticity of Dutch East Indies Architecture in Bandung City? how does authenticity remain when the newness value for adaptive reuse of Dutch East Indies Architecture in Bandung is added? There are three steps to build the understanding that will lead to the answer on the topic “Maintaining the Authenticity in Managing Changes to New Needs”. First step is understanding the authenticity and problem on defining authenticity since authenticity has different meaning in different cultural context, multilayered of heritage, and tension between demands for preservation approaches of authenticity. Second step is to look at how the authenticity is maintained on a dynamic of changing the function of the building purpose and see who or what is involved in maintaining this factor. Last step is managing changes in adaptive reuse building leads the user to different architectural experience, but at the same time as a heritage building, the user must have pre-existing culture experience. Continuity is happened when the building as locus of world peace, forming bonds of friendship due to soft diplomacy that occurs when the building becomes a show case as evidence of maintaining and preserving the values of the building. The architecture of the Dutch East Indies, has two understandings of authenticity: material and immaterial. Paradox that enhances each other and it is similar with two sides of coin, could not be separated. To remain the authenticity in the newness value when its added is to keep the building and the place alive. People or community understand the place as an event, not as a container, that is marked by strong connection between people and place.; - 0028-01-01T00:00:00Z
