The modernities of heritage and tourism: interpretations of an Asian future

Recent years have seen the emergence of a number of regional-based charters and declarations; all of which attempt to address the Eurocentric biases of the global heritage movement. For example, the Nara Declaration, China Principles, Hoi An Protocols and Seoul Declaration all reflect a desire to develop heritage frameworks that are sensitive to, and in tune with, the complexities and socio-cultural specificities of the Asian region. With the primary concern of these initiatives being the development of more appropriate ‘conservation philosophies’ or notions of ‘authenticity’, they have given less attention to the interface between heritage sites and their consumers, or tourists, and the rapidly changing nature of tourism in Asia. Indeed, the vast majority of reports and studies produced by UNESCO, ICOMOS, IUCN and others continue to talk of ‘the tourist’ as a singular, homogenous construct. The rapid growth of travel for leisure and recreation within Asia today, however, demands a re-appraisal of how such terms are used and deployed within the heritage industry. Accordingly, this article examines why Asian tourism is presenting new and unfamiliar challenges for policy makers regarding the management and presentation of heritage sites in Asia. More specifically, it considers the industry familiar discourse of ‘site interpretation’ against a backdrop of Asian modernities in order to ask questions about aesthetics and the politics of heritage narration.

传统组景序列调查反映的中国古代游憩偏好

中国古代的大量组景序列实例提供了研究中国古代游憩偏好和游憩行为的大量史料.本研究已收集200套组景序列案例,包括中国、日本的实景以及绘画实例.其中已有明确定位的142组中国实景实例,分布在与北宋疆域大致相符的范围内.本研究采用随机选出的100套组景序列共812个单独景观进行分析,显示出自然景现在中国古代游憩欣赏中所占的重要比重,同时表明了中国传统游憩偏好不同于西方的几点特性.     

Technological innovation and complexity theory

Complexity theory has become influential in recent models in social science. In the context of innovations and new technologies, most applications have focused on technology adoption and technology diffusion, whereas the topic of the innovation process has received less attention. This paper discusses three families of complexity models of technological innovation: fitness landscape models, network models and percolation models. The models are capable of analysing complex interaction structures (between components of technologies, between agents engaged in collective invention) while avoiding ‘over-parameterisation’. The paper ends with discussing the methodological challenges and critiques regarding the application of complexity theory that remain.     

1:10000比例尺土地利用景观指数的粒度效应分析

研究目的:基于鹤峰县1:10000土地利用数据,对土地利用数据的景观指数类型及景观水平的粒度效应进行分析。研究方法:GIS和景观格局分析软件应用。研究结果:在类型水平上,景观指数的粒度效应较明显,随粒度的变粗,景观指数可归为单调下降、不规则变化和基本无变化3类;粒度响应最敏感的景观指数为斑块密度;裸地和水田是对粒度响应最敏感的两种土地覆盖类型。在景观水平上,除斑块密度外,其他景观指数粒度效应不明显,斑块密度和面积加权平均分维数的粒度响应最强烈,丰富度指数则最弱。研究结论:粒度效应与所选粒度的变化范围、数据聚合方式、分析景观类型的多少、比例尺的不同都有很大的关系,更深层次的研究需要考虑更加全面。     

接受美学与城市景观特色塑造

城市景观设计不能简单的停留于功能性美观性的层次上,而更多的应该上升到对受众者的心理,精神需求。接受美学这一方法论对城市特色景观塑造有着积极的启示意义。
