A study of historic rural AmericaHeiman, John January 1900 (has links)
Master of Regional and Community Planning / Architecture / John W. Keller / Similar to their urban counterparts, rural communities consider preservation of a site based on their most vital economic features. With the growing minority and non-white cultures becoming more predominant in American society, so too has the culture and significance of historic events changed. More emphasis is now on the surrounding environment of those landmarks historically preserved rather than just the landmarks themselves. And in turn with the environment, more grants and awards are passed down to those sites and locations that provide more options to limiting excess space and energy while utilizing them to the fullest potential. Some conflicts still occur in relation to preserving historical integrity with development, but the total consensus is that historic preservation provides economic benefit more than loss.

A guideline for future preservation, management & interpretation of Brownsville Plantation circa 1652 Northampton County, VirginiaKagawa, Ron M. 25 August 2008 (has links)
This thesis establishes a guideline for the future preservation, management and interpretation of Brownsville Plantation. Brownsville Plantation is located in Northampton County on Virginia's lower Eastern Shore. Brownsville's original 1262 acre parcel of land was first patented in 1652 by English Quakers, John and Ursula Browne. At the time of this research (July, 1995 to March, 1996) the property was held in ownership by The Nature Conservancy's Virginia Coast Reserve.
The passing of significant evidence of our history to future generations, provides us with the unique opportunity to both examine and interpret our shared cultural resources. Brownsville's significance lies in the intricate weaving of the natural fabric of the site with the human cultural activities which have historically been exhibited there. The property's significance cannot be quantified as only land or only building(s), instead it is the epic of a place in which each component is inseparable from the entirety of its history.
The methodology implemented in developing this thesis includes four separate but interconnected phases of work. Each phase is founded in linking traces of human activity, as physical representations of the property's cultural heritage, and endeavors to recognize the present and future of Brownsville by acknowledging the past. The phases are: Historical Research; Inventory & Documentation; Site Analysis & Evaluation; and Treatment Selection & Recommendations. Each places the site within an historic and current context while determining stewardship strategies and priorities based on the property's retained overall integrity. As a comprehensive plan of action, this work is envisioned as an interim step in the continuum which forms the property's history. It is intended as a tool which assists in the management of change, while providing clear attitudes for future exploration and ongoing research at Brownsville Plantation. / Master of Science

Preserving our Past (PoP): Comparing Methods of Digitally Replicating Historical ArtifactsEaster, Abbie 01 January 2023 (has links) (PDF)
The creation of a digital model of a physical artifact can be a viable method for preserving physical artifacts from deterioration. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how to make digital artifact creation more accessible to non-scanning experts in order to expand the field of historical preservation to all people. The goal of the thesis is to determine which method of digital artifact capture produces the highest fidelity digital artifact while balancing user accessibility, cost, and usability. This study analyzed this through the creation of an online survey that asked participants to compare models created utilizing various digital capture methods.
The results of the survey suggest that photogrammetry is currently the best method of high-fidelity digital artifact creation that balances accessibility, cost, and usability. The results also suggest that photogrammetry is effective at creating digital models of small artifacts with characteristics that typically cause errors in data capture and three-dimensional model creation. These results support the potential for democratizing digital artifact creation to include the contributions of non-experts from all communities and backgrounds, potentially deepening historical knowledge.

古蹟保存政策與再利用策略之研究林華苑 Unknown Date (has links)
國內過往對於古蹟的保存手法,造成古蹟去生命化的後果,原因除了其忽視再利用面向之經營規劃外,純粹性的觀光政策也簡化了古蹟的社會文化功能。故 「再利用」一詞,於近幾年問被各界提出與熱烈討論,試圖去轉變「古蹟」的消極功能。但事實上,現今國內古蹟保存政策法令,在支援「再利用」此概念時,仍有不足之處。《文化資產保存法》自民國七十一年公佈施行以來,歷經四次之增訂修正,對古蹟保存之發展提供改善的空間。然而對於再利用工作,始終未能有突破性的規範,導致古蹟保存工作就在體制不全的情況下,未能積極發揮其角色所蘊含的意義。緣此,本研究旨在分析自四○年代以來,國內古蹟保存政策之歷程,隨著社經環境的變遷,瞭解現階段古蹟保存政策法令與經營管理上之不足,並擬議古蹟保存再利用之整體配套策略,提供當前古蹟保存政策之參考。
首先,本研究藉由整理分析文獻資料與論述古蹟再利用之意義,進而依據時間序列,探討各階段之古蹟保存政策重點;並分別就行政、立法與社會結構面向,說明古蹟保存的當前困境。此外,藉由問卷調查方式,以釐清再利用機制應參酌的相關面向;並輔以個案調查訪談,以瞭解現行古蹟保存再利用工作之執行情形,作為研訂古蹟保存再利用策略之參考。最後,規劃古蹟保存再利用策略機制,確認古蹟保存再利用之目標,並建立再利用階段性策略,以對國內古蹟保存困境提出改善之道。
本研究結果在現況課題解決方面,建議釐清再利用之定義、建立行政資源統籌部會與修正私有古蹟委託管理相關條文規定;在問卷調查與個案研究方面,發現私有古蹟衝突有待化解、保存誘因不足、欠缺公開透明的再利用經營管理審查機制與經營管理方式欠缺監督與彈性化之問題;另於再利用機制之配套法令方面,建議應提高再利用計畫之執行位階、釐清再利用、修復工程計畫與經營管理工作三者間的關係,並且規範管理再利用收益事項。本研究參酌問卷調查結果,研擬再利用策略之執行機制,在參與主體對象上,建議古蹟所有權人、政府機關與非營利組織之投入;在推動方式方面,建議以社區總體營造、公私合作與商圈再造方式進行;於再利用階段性策略上,共分為三階段:前置基礎階段建議進行古蹟調查研究,以建立完整的歷史資料庫;第二階段強調再利用計畫與修復工程建設的平行協調;第三階段進行古蹟經營管理維護計畫,建構古蹟經營管理機制。期以上述之建議與策略機制,對國內古蹟保存工作有所助益。
關鍵字:古蹟保存政策、再利用、古蹟經營管理、文化資產保存法 / As for the historical preservation in Taiwan, we overlook the fact that preservation is to "reuse" a historical monument by management and planning, and the tourism policy only focused on "one dimension@Tourism", which simplified the social and cultural functions of historical monuments. As a result, we fail to revitalize our historical monuments. The catchphrase "reuse", in an attempt to transform the passive function of historical monuments, has been the center of attention among communities in recent years. However, the laws regulating the protection of historical monuments are not fully supportive to the concept of "reuse". "Cultural Assets Protection Law" enacted in 1982, had undergone four revisions due to the need to improve the development of historical preservation. Even so, we hardly see any breakthrough of the laws for the works of "reuse". The current legal system fails to take an active role in terms of historical preservation. Concerning this, the thesis aims to analyze the development of historical preservation policies since 1951. With the changes of social and economic environments, we need to understand the insufficient respects of policies or regulations in terms of management in the current stage, and propose a set of compatible strategies as a reference to the policies of historical preservation.
At the first stage, the thesis is to compile and analyze existing documents looking for the significance of reusing historical monuments. Furthermore, in a chronological order, it studies the measures and policies of historical preservation in different stages in order to draw a picture of the difficulties that have been encountered in administrative, legislative and, social structural levels. In addition, the supplement of questionnaires is to clarify different perspectives that should be considered in terms of "reuse". Also, this study provides with individual interviews of the execution of "reuse" mechanism, to further understand the current situation and to offer reference to the policy makers. In the end, the thesis offers a framework to achieve the "reuse" mechanism and to confirm the goals of both preservation and reuse. With the establishment of reuse policies in different stages, the thesis offers a solution to improve the current difficult situations.
As to the solution of existing problems, the thesis suggests that we clarify the definition of "reuse", establish a department for the administrative management, and revise the articles as well as clauses regarding private historical monuments. From the questionnaires and case studies, we find problems like the conflicts of private historical monuments, the lack of incentive for preservation, the absence of a transparent mechanism for examining reuse management, the absence of the inflexibility and the supervision over the management. As to the laws related to reuse mechanism, we suggest to raise the priority of implementing reuse projects, clarify the relationship among reuse, monument-repair projects, and administrative works, as well as regulate and manage the profits from reuse projects. Based on the result of the questionnaires to frame the implementation mechanism of the reuse strategies, we suggest participation of reuse by the owner, government and the NPOs, and community empowerment, public-private partnership and commercial region reconstruction to set into action. There are three stages on reuse strategies. First, we recommend monuments investigation and studies to establish the complete database; second, strengthening the parallel relationship of reuse projects and monument-repair projects; third, executing monument management project and construct its mechanism Based on above strategies, we believe historical preservation would benefit.

Previous issue date: 2018-05-16 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This thesis presents a study on the process of creation and performance of the Pro-Document - National Program of Documentation of Historical Preservation developed by the extinct National Pro-Memory Foundation - IPHAN FNPM and that, between 1984 and 1988, had as central objective the preservation of private collections as important documents for the recovery of memory and national identity. Focused on the study on the recognition and preservation of private documentary heritage in the country, it analyzes the Pro-Document's proposals in the context of the discussions about new memory demands, renewal of Brazilian historiography and documentary preservation in the 1980s. the documents of the Central Archive of IPHAN - Rio de Janeiro Section, as well as various publications such as the Revista Acervo, the National Archive, the Annals of Congresses of AAB and ANPUH and the AAB Archive and Administration Magazine. The main objective of the thesis was to understand the Pro-Document more comprehensively through an examination of the proposed historical dimensions, conceptions and policies on the preservation of documentary heritage in our country. It was also interesting to inquire about reasons and paths that led to the forgetting of this IPHAN program in the specialized literature on the subject in the following years / Esta tese apresenta um estudo sobre o processo de criação e atuação do Pró-Documento - Programa Nacional de Documentação da Preservação Histórica desenvolvido pela extinta Fundação Nacional Pró-Memória – FNPM e que, entre os anos de 1984 e 1988, teve como objetivo central a preservação de acervos privados como conjuntos documentais importantes para a recuperação da memória e da identidade nacional. Focado no estudo sobre reconhecimento e preservação do patrimônio documental privado no país, analisamos as propostas do Pró-Documento no contexto das discussões sobre novas demandas memoriais, renovação da historiografia brasileira e propostas relativas ao papel das instituições arquivísticas e a preservação documental na década de 1980. A pesquisa teve como fontes centrais os documentos do Arquivo Central do IPHAN – Seção Rio de Janeiro, além de publicações diversas como a Revista Acervo, do Arquivo Nacional, a Revista Arquivo & Administração da AAB, os Anais de Congressos da AAB e da ANPUH. O objetivo central da tese foi compreender de forma mais ampla o Pró-Documento por meio de um exame das dimensões históricas propostas, das concepções e políticas sobre a questão da preservação do patrimônio documental em nosso país. Interessou também indagar sobre razões e caminhos que levaram ao esquecimento desse programa do IPHAN na literatura especializada sobre a questão nos anos seguintes

Play in Place: The Role of Site-Specific Playgrounds in Community SpaceNkwocha, Allison 18 May 2013 (has links)
Playgrounds do not have to be static sites, but safety standards should not be the only force that guides their evolution over time. Just as the ongoing transformation of any city is a product of many interwoven factors, the collection of smaller sites that delineates one city from another should reflect the same holistic influences. This is not an argument for the abandonment of the safety standards that influence playground design. Instead, it is an argument for the adoption of and stronger adherence to community standards that influence city design. This paper argues that a park area (and more generally, any public space) that is relevant and unique to a community will be well-used by the community and, thus, a successful space; it is in a city’s best interest to create such spaces where they are lacking and protect them where they already exist.
The first chapter provides a land-centric history of the growth and development of the Los Angeles region, which is especially deficient in public green space. I argue that transportation technology and infrastructure was the great shaping force of the urban environment during the 19th and 20th centuries, and discuss the Olmsted-Bartholomew “Parks, Playgrounds, and Beaches for the Los Angeles Region” report that was presented to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in 1930. The second chapter covers the design communication of American playgrounds since their beginnings in the late 19th century. I also analyze the parallel between Progressive Era playground supervision and the present-day safety standard obsession that has created an equally rigid playscape. The third chapter is a case study of the ongoing historical preservation treatment of La Laguna playground at Vincent Lugo Park in San Gabriel, CA and a discussion of the value of site-specificity.
