The publication contains 14 research papers that reflect diverse ideologised memorialisation processes and have been grouped by three sub-themes: destruction/reconstruction, transformation, and interpretation. The international contributors from diverse academic backgrounds discuss heritage politics in different cultural regions, nation-states, and political systems in order to investigate cases of ideologised heritage conservation and their relationship to religion, history, and politics.}, subject = {Architectural conservation; Critical heritage studies; Heritage politics; Cultural heritage; Ideologies; Weltkulturerbe; Denkmal; Zerst{\"o}rung; Kriegsgebiet; Terrorismus; Ideologie; Religion}, language = {en} } @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} } @book{OPUS4-4896, title = {Studio Bagan : Heritage tourism - conflicts and chances}, editor = {Casper, Jens and Eisenloffel, Karen and Rellensmann, Clara and Stevens, Miller}, isbn = {978-3-940471-47-5}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-48961}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Studio Bagan is conceptualized as an interdisciplinary preservation studio to foster applied knowledge transfer in the fields of cultural heritage management, urban and regional planning and designing in historic contexts. In 2017, during the first edition of "Studio Bagan: Building in Heritage Contexts" the students undertook a careful assessment of the issue of "temple climbing" and developed concepts for alternative and heritage-sensitive viewing platforms. In 2018, the second Studio Bagan under the theme "Heritage Tourism - Conflicts and Chances" addressed a broader range of challenges related to tourism and heritage. Both studios followed the agenda of (1) exploring, (2) understanding the cultural significance of the place and analyzing identified problems, and then (3) developing conceptual approaches and strategies.

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} } @book{OPUS4-4557, title = {Studio Bagan - building in heritage context}, editor = {Rellensmann, Clara and R{\"o}mer, Alexander}, isbn = {978-3-940471-41-3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-45578}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg}, pages = {195}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The report "Studio Bagan: Building in Heritage Context" presents an in-depth study of the issue of monument climbing at Bagan, one of Asia's most important Buddhist sites. Originally built during the 11th to 13th centuries the site comprises more than 3.000 Buddhist monuments ranging from small stupas and temples to monastic complexes and several enormous stucco-covered structures on an area of about 25 square kilometres. The core concept of the research project that resulted in the report was to work across the disciplines of architectural conservation, heritage studies and design. Thus, the study was conducted by academics of respective fields and master students of World Heritage Studies, architecture and urban planning. The project applied approaches from social sciences as applied in architectural conservation in order to guide the architectural design process. These included values-based approaches for gaining an understanding of the site and of the stakeholders' needs; heritage impact assessments to identify beneficial (and adverse) characteristics for potential alternative viewing platforms; typology exploration and location analysis through the SWOT process.}, subject = {Bagan; Pagan; St{\"a}rken-Schw{\"a}chen-Analyse; Bausubstanz; Weltkulturerbe; Konfliktregelung; Denkmalpflege; Heritage conservation; Tourism management; Action research; Design-build}, language = {en} }
