Almost all countries of the world tend to conserve their historical sites for their own generations and travellers from abroad. Despite Bangladeshs economy is becoming stronger, it is not paying enough attention to the development of archaeology to conserve its heritage sites. Unlike many other developing countries, Bangladesh tends to considers it a luxury to preserve it's heritage sites. It is mainly because of the scarcity of land. The tiny country has a huge population (about 180 million), the density of which is perhaps the highest in the world. Apart from some very significant heritage sites, most others are awfully neglected. Lack of education and awareness among the respective local people and other stakeholders are also responsible for most of the heritage sites facing threats of demolition, vandalism, losing authenticity and integrity. Panamnagar, the case study for this thesis paper, is not apart from the above scenario. It is the last surviving intake city of lost Bengal. The place witnessed Mughal emperor, British rule, the partition of Bengal, Liberation war of Bangladesh, Hindu-Muslim riot, illegal habitation of people, forced eviction and abundance. The historic city went through lots of historical events and is still standing as a testimony to the golden era of Bengal. Currently, this heritage site is facing multiple threats to its existence and authenticity. The city is vacated by the authority - the Department of Archaeology. But as the local people are not aware of the historic value of the site, they are not at all cooperating with the authority. Meanwhile, the authority is trying to incorporate adaptive reuse of the site to give life to it again and collect revenue for the maintenance. But they are doing it without assessing the cultural significance of the site properly, which could be a potential threat for the authenticity of the heritage site. Thus, this paper has focused on assessing the cultural significance of the heritage site, with a hope that it will help the authority to make policy decisions for the conservation of the site more cautiously. To assess the cultural significance properly, history and architectural significance are described briefly. A site analysis has been conducted to understand the current site condition properly. The paper concludes with statements in support of the cultural significance of Panamnagar site and recommends appropriate conservation tools to sustain its significance.}, subject = {Heritage; Conservation; Cultural significance; Erbe; Erhaltung; Kulturelle Bedeutung; Bangladesch; Kulturerbe; Baudenkmal; Denkmalpflege; Bautenschutz}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-5468, title = {Against forgetting : investigating and preserving historic buildings in a Himalayan village}, editor = {Skedzuhn-Safir, Alexandra and Oeter, Martina and Vets, Hilde and Pfund, Heike}, isbn = {978-3-940471-62-8}, doi = {10.26127/BTUOpen-5468}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-54681}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {For more than a decade, the interconnected structures of the Buddhist earthen heritage in Wanla village/Ladakh, illustrated most prominently by the historic Avalokiteshvara Temple, have been researched, conserved, and restored by the NGOs Achi Association and Achi Association India.

Dark and difficult heritage concerns events of disasters, extermination, and war. But what happens to stories and their places that do not fit into any of these categories? They are neither grand or beautiful, nor explicitly traumatic but nonetheless they embed cultural values and norms, or perhaps even the opposite of them: the bordellos and the marginalised groups of society that are usually disregarded in heritage discourses. The question of sex work in contemporary culture holds an important place, as it is connected to social and economic rights of women. Historic sex work, and the places associated with it, imbed in this sense a contention value, because still today it provokes debate among different interest groups. This research work presents the first in-depth study into the location of Florentine bordellos and sex workers between 1860 and 1888. It was a central moment in the history of these women and their trade because a new regulation on sex work was introduced by the recently unified Italian state which spatially controlled the sex trade. Each bordello and the sex workers came under intense scrutiny of the law. What was a dramatic development in the life of these women at the time, has allowed for extensive historical analysis. The research draws primarily from over 5,000 archived police files and examines the location of sex trade in relation to the legal framework provided by the regulation known as the Regolamento Cavour. It was to ensure that sex workers would not pass on any venereal disease, while, at the same time, strived to maintain moral order in a continuously growing city, faced with urban development. In addition, the historic spatial development of bordellos within the perimeter of the ancient city walls was studied as well as the economic and political factors which influenced the position of a bordello within the urban fabric. For that purpose, the study incorporated information from historic city and street directories as well as cadastre maps. These different layers of information are conveyed in numerous maps to visualise the spatial context of and relation between sex work and spaces.}, subject = {Heritage; Cultural significance; Sex work; Marginalisation; Italy; Erbe; Kulturelle Werte; Sexarbeit; Marginalisierung; Italien; Florenz; St{\"a}dtebau; Stadtsoziologie; Sexualverhalten; Prostitution; Geschichte 1860-1888}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Ibold2020, author = {Ibold, Nura}, title = {Perspectives for Aleppo: towards an integrated approach for 'post- conflict' reconstruction of cultural heritage}, doi = {10.26127/BTUOpen-5175}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-51758}, school = {BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The rebuilding of war-damaged historic cities has a significant impact on the way the affected societies can heal and recover in the post-conflict situation. If carried out without taking into consideration the inseparable relationship between the built structures and the formation of people's identity, the reconstruction processes could cause more damage than the one endured due to the conflict. In this context, the rebuilding of cities and their historic centres in particular play a significant role in restoring the collective memory of the shared setting. This dissertation researches the disturbing effects and trauma resulting from the deliberate destruction of heritage assets during armed conflicts, concerning both inhabitants and ancient urban structures. It discusses the discourse on the issue of post-conflict reconstruction that includes the arguments and recommendations made by several international experts and organizations which stipulates with both theoretical and practical outcome. The work of many theorists, authors, architects, philosophers, and professionals working in the field of heritage management, is examined thoroughly to provide a deep understanding of the issues discussed throughout this research. The most recent illustration within this context is the war in Syria, which has caused excessive damage to the country's cultural heritage. Noting that the military clashes have come to an end in several areas within the country and the physical damage has stopped, reconstruction projects have begun to materialize, and the urgent need for an overall consistent framework for rebuilding Syria is more crucial than ever. Syria's cultural heritage is facing a high threat of a second destruction, which will most likely follow if the involved governmental representatives, stakeholders, society or 'societies' did not realize the fundamental necessity for a value-based reconstruction approach which guarantees that the assessment of values is carried out and achieved in a balanced manner. Otherwise, mistakes will occur, and consequently, the collective memory and identity of the Syrians might never be recovered. The rebuilding of post-war Syria is complex and challenging; it embraces more than a physical transformation of urban structures, and poses new threats to achieve psychological healing and recovering. The urban integrity of the Syrian cities is threatened, especially in the old city of Aleppo where the damage goes beyond the physical fabric and extends to endanger the city's historical identity. Therefore, the main focus of the work is to develop a strategic framework which goes hand in hand with the traditional rebuilding approaches, and merges several practical and theoretical contexts deduced from previous case studies. The essence of the research revolves around understanding the significance of the city's heritage and historic fabric, which must be considered a priority when deciding for the reconstruction procedures.}, subject = {Post-conflict reconstruction; Architectural conservation; Cultural heritage; Syria; Post-Konflikt-Wiederaufbau; Aleppo; Kulturerbe; Syrien; Denkmalpflege; Dresden; Kulturg{\"u}terschutz; Kulturerbe; Denkmalschutz; Weltkulturerbe; Syrien; Stari Most (Mostar); Beirut; Freiburg; Wiederaufbau; Aleppo}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OPUS4-4373, title = {Catastrophe and challenge - Cultural heritage in post-conflict recovery}, editor = {Schneider, Peter}, isbn = {978-3-940471-39-0}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-43734}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Fourth International Conference on Heritage Conservation and Site Management December 5-7, 2016, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg The destructive effects of war, and particularly the deliberate targeting of cultural sites, constitute an exceptional challenge for Heritage Conservation. The general principles of retaining cultural significance by continuous care and by minimal intervention may seem of little use when one is faced with catastrophic and wide-spread damage to culturally significant places - be they individual monuments, urban structures or archaeological sites. Post-conflict recovery encompasses a wide range of topics, many of which have not yet been studied in depth.

Despite the stimulus and support of the various institutions, organisations and initiatives, diverse threats continue to impact cultural heritage in present times with some factors amplifying more than before, leading to the subsequent damages to or losses of heritage assets. Though reasons for these issues are varied and complex, one of the important factors to look into is the agency of the diverse 'Heritage at Risk' programmes or initiatives. ICOMOS being one of the pioneers in this global discourse of threatened heritage, its role is strategically vital. 20 years after ICOMOS's first attempts to initiate one of the first 'Heritage at Risk' programmes, this research is an opportunity to re-examine and analyse the effectiveness of ICOMOS' 'Heritage at Risk' programme within the current organisational/ institutional landscape of initiatives in the field of heritage at risk, that ICOMOS is embedded in. It is also an opportunity to situate the programme within the diverse views of the heritage at risk framework and the continuing shifts in the foundational paradigms of the international discourse on heritage conservation. The purpose of this analysis is to guide programme improvement for optimising efforts in favour of cultural heritage at risk within and/ or beyond ICOMOS and improve their ability to contribute towards - safeguarding heritage at risk, increasing the resilience of cultural heritage and sustainable development.}, subject = {ICOMOS; Heritage at Risk; Preventive conservation; Post-disaster recovery; Sustainable development; Pr{\"a}ventive Erhaltung; Wiederherstellung; Gef{\"a}hrdetes Kulturerbe; Nachhaltige Entwicklung; Denkmalpflege; Kulturerbe; Baudenkmal; Denkmal; Gef{\"a}hrdung; Denkmalpflege; Nachhaltigkeit; Kulturg{\"u}terschutz}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-5063, title = {Hidden conservation revealed : new media for the presentation of architectural conservation}, editor = {Skedzuhn-Safir, Alexandra}, organization = {BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, Chair of Architectural Conservation}, doi = {10.26127/BTUOpen-5063}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-50634}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Conservation work on cultural heritage occurs mostly 'behind the scenes', hidden away from the general public. Research has shown, however, that there is considerable interest from tourists and locals alike to gain insights into conservation practice. While this can be done through visits to conservation laboratories or heritage sites, an additional tool to complement these visits is to provide documentary films of ongoing conservation work. In the summer of 2016, a group of international master's students from different study programmes at Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg visited Florence to study issues related to the preservation of cultural heritage. In particular, they examined conservation-related work being done at the Courtyard of Michelozzo in the Palazzo Vecchio, where Giorgio Vasari originally decorated the upper wall sections and ceiling with frescoes in 1565. Due to daily wear and tear, which has been exacerbated by a high number of visitors as well as climatic conditions, conservation work became necessary to address soiled painted surfaces, disintegrating plaster and missing sections of the plaster and paint layers. This collection of papers addresses a variety of topics relating to the wall paintings by Vasari, as well as threats and tools to protect and conserve them and other cultural heritage sites that are faced with growing tourism. This student project was carried out in collaboration with the UNESCO Office of the Municipality of Florence (Carlo Francini and Chiara Bocchio), the Fine Arts Department of the Municipality of Florence (Giorgio Caselli), the director of the conservation work (Fabio Sforzi), wall painting conservators of the Vasari frescoes (Cristina Conti and Alessandra Popple), the Department of Architectural Conservation at Universit{\`a} di Firenze (Giuseppe Centauri and Daniela Chiesi) and the BTU Media Centre (Ralf Schuster).}, subject = {Florence; Wall paintings; Conservation; Documentary films; Heritage; Florenz; Kulturerbe; Denkmalschutz; Aufsatzsammlung; Tourismus; Baudenkmal}, language = {en} } @techreport{SkedzuhnSafirFranceschini2020, author = {Skedzuhn-Safir, Alexandra and Franceschini, Nicole}, title = {Tattoo taboo : a reader}, isbn = {978-3-940471-58-1}, doi = {10.26127/BTUOpen-5236}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-52365}, year = {2020}, abstract = {In different parts of the world, tattoos historically have been expression of the socio-cultural identity of individuals or communities: Tattoos are firmly integrated into social practices as elements of initiation or marriage, in other parts of the world, however, tattoos carry negative associations being linked to immorality, and crime.

Based on the Nara Document on Authenticity, the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention anchor the concept in the credibility and truthfulness of internal and external factors - referred to as information sources - that communicate a heritage site's cultural values. Conversely, the author explored the truthfulness of messages conveyed to site users in a qualitative research based on interviews focused on two urban reference sites in Bahrain. These stand for different eras and conservation approaches: the ensemble of colonial-style governmental buildings at Bab al-Bahrain in Manama and the vernacular Siyadi Shops in the market area Suq al-Qaisariya in Muharraq, which were restored in the course of a World Heritage nomination. The interpretive content analysis compares how architects and non-architects, who represent laypeople in architectural conservation, perceived their authenticity and also traces cultural contingencies. The empirical data confirms pronounced differences in the way architects and non-architects perceive authenticity but only a few between representatives of so-called Western and Eastern cultures. Assessed against international heritage conservation standards, the site in Muharraq proved more authentic than the one in Manama. However, the meanings produced in the interaction between the sites and the interviewees proved be of limited truthfulness in both cases. A key finding is hence that a constructivist authenticity concept can serve no normative function when heritage conservation is considered a discipline at the service of historiography. While all potential factors of authenticity as per the Nara Document proved to be relevant, perceived material authenticity was found to be an outstanding reason why the site in Muharraq was appreciated more. Its rehabilitation was found to successfully reconcile essentialist and constructivist authenticity understandings by paying tribute both to the documentary value of the historic site and to the experiential needs of its users. The findings support the ICOMOS Venice Charter's material-focused approach while confirming the relevance of a broadened authenticity understanding and highlighting the importance of integrated, participatory approaches to heritage conservation. By illustrating the importance of expertise when assessing the authenticity of architectural heritage, the findings at the same time flag limits to democratizing architectural conservation practice.

This idea of heritage as something related to the ancient not only is manifested in the international sphere but has also permeated national views, weakening awareness for discreet heritage, which compete with designs from famous architects or monumental structures, giving the impression that grandeur and looks are highly coveted. This does not only discard relevant events of the mid-late 20th century attached to smaller constructions that had impacts on different cultures, but also integral components of urban fabric. Furthermore, these approaches towards heritage relevance resonate within the local populations, who, taking as examples how heritage is treated and approached in an international context, tend to overlook structures that are considered aesthetically displeasing because they do not adhere to this traditional scheme seen in the heritage field. From here extends the idea of analyzing case studies that fall within overlooked heritage from a new angle: one of valuating aesthetic displeasure. The thesis will focus on individual and serial constructions of the 20th century commonly seen as displeasing due to their typologies and styles but also due to their formal characteristics, redirecting the attention from those considered aesthetically pleasing and grandiose towards otherwise ignored built heritage. Additionally, it will address the perceptions of such structures in the context of the international heritage and conservation spheres, to present how these structures are currently not fully appreciated within the traditional idea of heritage due to their looks and commonality.

Den historischen Wert erh{\"a}lt das von Historic England als Grade I eingestufte Baudenkmal aus den mannigfaltigen Zeugnissen der Familien Cocks, Somers und Somers-Cocks, die diesen Bau {\"u}ber mehrere Jahrhunderte pr{\"a}gen. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus stellt Eastnor Castle ein fr{\"u}hes Werk des Architekten Robert Smirke dar, der im Verlauf seiner Karriere viele architektonisch einflussreiche Bauten entwirft. Ferner besitzt Eastnor Castle einen k{\"u}nstlerischen Wert, da es als kompletter Neubau der Regency {\"A}ra durchg{\"a}ngig im Norman Style entworfen und aus Bauten wie Lowther Castle, Cumbria, und Warwick Castle, Warwickshire, entwickelt wird. {\"A}hnliche Country Houses als reine Auspr{\"a}gung dieser Baustilrichtung existieren nur wenige wie beispielsweise Penrhyn Castle, Gwynedd. Eastnor Castle besitzt ferner Raum- und Mobiliargestaltungen im Norman Style sowie das sehr gut erhaltene Interieur des Gothic Drawing Room, welches A.W.N. Pugin am Ende seiner Architekturkarriere entwirft. Diese Raumgestaltung ist eines seiner am besten erhaltenen Interieurs, das gestalterisch f{\"u}r die internationale Architekturbewegung des Puginism steht. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus besitzt Eastnor Castle eine technikgeschichtliche Bedeutung, da Robert Smirke einerseits neue Baumaterialen wie Eisentr{\"a}ger verwendet und es andererseits in einem neuen Bauablauf errichtet. Außerdem pr{\"a}gen Eastnor Castle und sein Vorg{\"a}ngerbau Castle Ditch die Region der Malvern Hills nachhaltig. In einem zweiten Schritt untersucht die Arbeit die heutige Nutzung des Denkmals und wertet sie aus. Eine wichtige Rolle hierbei spielt das bestehende Funktionsdreieck aus Wohnhaus, Denkmal und Event-St{\"a}tte. Das Ausbalancieren dieses Dreiecks hat oberste Priorit{\"a}t und bildet die Grundlage f{\"u}r das autarke Fortbestehen des Denkmals. Einzelne Erkenntnisse dieser Untersuchung k{\"o}nnen schließlich als Resultate der Arbeit verallgemeinert und {\"u}bertragen werden.}, subject = {Eastnor Castle; Landhaus; Denkmalpflege; Robert Smirke; Country house; Regency style; Heritage conservation; Smirke, Robert ; Herefordshire; Landhaus; Denkmalpflege; Innenarchitektur; Mehrzwecknutzung}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Alhadad2023, author = {Alhadad, Esraa Fathy Abdelaziz}, title = {The contribution of community involvement in heritage management : a cultural mapping project}, doi = {10.26127/BTUOpen-6665}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-66651}, school = {BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Heritage has been lately the matter of debate regarding its definition, conservation and management approaches. In the last few years, there has been an increasing demand for the involvement of the local community in heritage management. Too often, the involvement perspectives of key stakeholders in general and the community members, in particular, are entirely different. While the theoretical ground of community involvement is somehow well set, heritage management has been slow in applying the involvement approach. Practically, it is not easy to find the balance to achieve all the goals of key stakeholders in any involvement project. Subsequently, there are a few numbers of empirical works on the practical implications of understanding heritage management effective tools and limited indication to convince recent 'power-holders' such as governmental organizations to distribute their power with local community members. This doctoral research project explores community involvement in heritage management as an effective solution to building a strong management system. The study aims to examine the level and the quality of involvement in the management of heritage sites in general through a cultural mapping-based approach. This is applied to a case study which is the Religious Complex in Historic Cairo World Heritage Site. The research outcomes indicate the importance of involving the local community in heritage management and planning processes. Ultimately, the study provides critical empirical evidence and draws valuable theoretical and practical assumptions that spread knowledge of cultural mapping in critical issues, such as the drivers of involvement and cooperative decision-making.}, subject = {Heritage management; Community involvement; Cultural mapping; Stakeholder management; Kulturerbe; Gemeinschaftseinbindung; Kulturelle Kartierung; Stakeholder-Management; Weltkulturerbe; Kulturmanagement; Partizipation}, language = {en} }
