The purpose of this study is to examine the characters and sustainability of built heritage featured in the eight-scenery listings of Gyeonggi municipalities in South Korea. Eight scenery is a place marketing medium that reflects the community's appreciation of the selected resources. For a research method, we utilize framework analysis to understand the cultural resources in three categories: heritage value identification, preservation, and dissemination. Primary sources for data collection include the chosen eleven cities' eight-scenery webpages, the National Cultural Heritage Portal, and articles about the built heritage resources included in the eight scenery. The results of this study show the public's acknowledgment of diverse built heritage, from prestigious monuments to local heritage interpretations, and various preservation and public program development approaches. The conclusion discusses the research findings regarding historic preservation, sustainable development, and place marketing.

Since the 1990s, digital technology has been actively applied in the field of heritage, and this presents a new possibility of using cultural heritage as a way to utilize the original cultural data that was previously recorded and stored. Methods of interpreting cultural heritage have been particularly diversified due to various external circumstances such as COVID-19 and time constraints, and the use of contactless digital content has played a significant role in built heritage that cannot be moved. Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is considered as a way to properly express the authenticity of built heritage, but simply creating built heritage content with BIM cannot express the authenticity of cultural heritage. Therefore, it is necessary to show the reliability of the process of content production through an authorized institution and to provide the information of members on the content. This study intends to contribute to the field of digital heritage by suggesting ways to improve reliability and express authenticity in the production of built heritage content.

A number of wooden built heritage remain in Korea, and most have been damaged by various biological factors including termite. Owing to the irreversible damage caused by termites, wooden built heritage are losing their authenticity and structural stability. In this study, Area-Wide Integrated Termite Management(AW-ITM) was proposed to prevent termite damage. First, to understand the locational characteristics of these sites, the distance from adjacent forests and surrounding forest areas was analyzed for 182 national designated wooden built heritage(national treasures, treasures) using the Geographic Information System(GIS). By analyzing existing pest control projects(2003-2020) and the components of the ITM, the characteristics of termite control for cultural heritages were determined. Based on these results, the cultural heritage sites and their surrounding spaces were divided into three areas, and the types of cultural properties were divided into six types according to the location and number of buildings. Along with this, termite control measures were proposed for each area and type. The concept of AW-ITM has been partially applied to the "Comprehensive Control of Termites in wooden built heritages Sites" by the Cultural Heritage Administration. Caution must be taken with regard to the establishment of a cultural heritage management policy; AW-ITM should be applied on a trial basis with the results then being carefully analyzed and reflected in the establishment of policies pertaining to the conservation management of cultural heritage.

The use of drones and laser scanners have the potential to drastically reduce the time and costs of conventional techniques employed for field survey of cultural heritage buildings. Moreover, point cloud data can be utilized to create an as-built Building Information Model (BIM), providing a repository for consistent operations information. However, BIM creation is not a requisite for heritage buildings, and their technological possibilities and barriers have not been documented. This research explored the processes required to convert a heritage university building to a BIM model, using existing off-the-shelf software applications. Point cloud data was gathered from drones for the exterior, while a laser scanner was employed for the interior of the building. The point clouds were preprocessed and used as references for the geometry of the building elements, including walls, slabs, windows, doors, and staircases. The BIM model was subsequently created for the individual elements using existing and custom libraries. The model was used to extract 2D CAD drawings that met the requirements of Korea's heritage preservation specifications. The experiment showed that technical improvements were needed to overcome issues of occlusion, modeling errors due to modeler's subjective judgements and point cloud data cleaning and filtering techniques.

This paper examines the issue of heritage preservation by revitalization based in Hong Kong and in particular highlighting the ways in which preservation and urban development can be complementary forces instead of in opposition. Hong Kong and its architectural history is briefly discussed, before explaining the relevant Government measures that are in place with regards to built heritage. The statutory bodies and the level of protection given to heritage buildings are key factors in establishing a basis for the notion of Hong Kong's heritage preservation policies and as such are important to consider when determining any future urban development. Successful revitalization projects will be discussed which are all direct consequences of Hong Kong's more recent change in policies towards heritage preservation.

This research focuses on 10 modern museums built in Europe near important cultural assets of UNESCO World Heritage level. This study aims to reveal the coexistence of European laminated history and contemporary architecture by considering various aspects of respecting the existing and maintaining their identity as modern buildings, using these cultural assets as a basic concept of planning while minimizing conflicts with the past. The four measures of respecting existing cultural heritage are arranged by showing respect by lowering oneself, sympathizing with others, preparing for harmony with modernity, and communicating by looking at. The measures that reveal the identity of modern buildings are confirmed by classifying them as modern and post-modern approaches, each with several options. Through this study, we have been able to extract useful lessons for us, as well, while the past and present coexist successfully, by taking history as a reliable guide to take a fresh leap from it, rather than as a solidified remnant of inertness.

Since 1939, Bupeyong was rapidly urbanized and industrialized for the purpose of constructing military logistics base of the empire of Japan. Based on Kyungin urban planning of 1940 and industrial land development plan of Kyeonggido, many military factories and arsenal were constructed, and great amount of housing were also built for their workers from 1939 to 1944. Although the initial urban planning was unfinished, urban change from rural area to military industrial city in the late Japanese colonial era, made identity of city of Bupyeong. Workers houses which built during five years vary in different size and type, and somewhat reflects discussions about housing attempts to solve the housing shortage. This study aims to analyze architectural characteristics of workers housing related with discussions of housing, and to evaluate its value as an industrial heritage which constitute the urban landscape of the industrial city of Bupyeong. Workers houses in Bupyeong were constructed by military factories, construction company, and Chosun housing administration, with land readjustment planning. As the war became serious, workers housing became smaller and simpler. Construction of workers housing was essential part of modern military industrial city, bupyeong, and many of workers housing are still remained whereas most of factories were demolished, thus workers housing of bupyeong has significant meaning as industrial heritage of Bupyeong.

This study covers Namwoneupseong Fortress(南原邑城), Historic Site No. 298, which played a pivotal role in the urban development and military defense history of Namwon during the Joseon Dynasty. From the related historical records, Namwoneupseong Fortress was first constructed during the reign of King Seongjong. Discussion on the extension of Namwoneupseong Fortress, afterwards, was mainly guided by he traces of Yuingweseong Fortress(劉仁軌城). In other words, the original construction of the Fortress was in the original shape of the current Namwoneupseong Fortress, and Yuingweseong Fortress heavily impacted the extension works of Namwoneupseong Fortress. Although some studies covered Namwoneupseong Fortress and its overall construction process, no in-depth study exists on the original Namwoneupseong Fortress and Yuingweseong Fortress. This study covers the overall construction process of Namwoneupseong Fortress. At the same time, we tried to confirm inclusively and objectively the facts related to the relationship between Yuingweseong Fortress and Namwoneupseong Fortress, process and range of the expansion of Namwoneupseong Fortress among others through the location search of the originally built Namwoneupseong Fortress and Yuingweseong Fortress. The study discovered that Yuingweseong Fortress was built in A.D. 660~665 and that Namwoneupseong Fortress, which was built in the early stage of King Seongjong's reign, was extended along the traces of Yuingweseong Fortress towards the southeast. Furthermore, the study confirmed that Namwoneupseong Fortress is consisted of three sections - the section with Namwoneupseong Fortress's original walls preserved, newly constructed section, and the section following Yuingweseong Fortress's traces.

Traditional building technique has been used as the main technology in the field of architectural heritage conservation in South Korea. It has remained this way with very little resistance until now. But the time has come to question the appropriateness of traditional technique as conservation technique. In this paper a study was done on the properties of the traditional technique and the architectural heritage conservation technique in order to define the appropriateness between the two techniques. As a result the traditional technique was found to be unfit for conservation technique. The reasons are as follows. First, there is a time gap between the traditional technique and the time when the heritage was first built. Second, conservation work is about retaining the values of being a heritage while the traditional technique is about safeness and practicality. Third, the use of traditional technique comes with using the tools of its time which cannot ensure the safety of the heritage. The traditional technique must be looked upon as one of an option in the field of conservation. We must develop a better conservation technology by finding balance between the traditional technique and modern science. And further more an aggressive investment must be made in order to realize this objective.
