Preserving Historic District Conservation Project

Introduction: heritage management plans or HMP are a way of sustaining heritage sites for future and current generations. Heritage has a mixture of aspects and varying definitions. One the oxford dictionary definitions are as follows “valued objects and qualities such as historic buildings and cultural traditions that have been passed down from previous generations” so heritage is more than just the physical site it includes the people (oxford dictionaries). A good HMP more than just protects a site it encourages community involvement and interest and serves a community’s interests. A good HMP also needs to be economically sustainable and needs to be fluid to change during economic highs and lows. A HMP needs to

The Pine Grove Preserve Memorial is located in Falmouth, Maine. Designed by Huger Elliot, a notable Philadelphia architect and artist, the monument is a small granite marker with a bronze plaque. In addition to the marker, George Woodward (the sponsor of the monument), gifted the town of Falmouth twenty-seven acres of forest to be made into a preserve dedicated to the memory of his son, and nephew.

The City of Lapeer does not have a historic preservation plan; however the City recognizes the importance of preserving our history and encourages historic preservation and historically accurate designs in new projects. Within the City’s Master Plan, a key goal is to promote business development that is compatible with the character of Lapeer, recognizing the historical importance and architectural appeal of its buildings.

One approach that can be applied to deal with difficult heritage would be to simply eliminate the bad heritage from existence. The immediate removal of the swastikas signified a public marking of the end of the Nazi period. This instantaneous removal from local buildings and meeting places coincided with the process of denazification and the leave it behind us mentality. “One way of at least partially avoiding having to continually negotiate

The United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization (UNESCO) (2012), define cultural landscape as “cultural properties that represent the combined works of nature and of man.” It is a broad concept that can be referred to as the appearance of the earth’s surface, and its depiction in arts, human cultures and general territories (Steve Hoelscher 2007, p. 76). There exist many cultural landscapes that represent different regions from around the world, and to date there are 88 cultural landscapes and 4 trans-boundary properties on the world heritage list (UNESCO) (n.d.).

To be world heritage site, there are five nomination processes. First, countries must make Tentative List, which is a list of significant cultural and natural possession (“World Heritage). In Tentative list, there are 1516 records in 162 states (“Tentative List). As one of example of the list, Fujisan, which is the tallest mountain in Japan, are submitted on 30 January 2007 (“Fujisan). Second, a State Party arrange with World Heritage Center when the property that is in Tentative List put into a nomination file. After nomination file finished, it is sent to Advisory Bodies for assessment. International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and World Conservation Union (IUCN), which are Advisory Bodies, give an estimate of the place nominated. And then International Center for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) gives an advice on protection of the place. Fourth, World Heritage Committee decides final determination. The committee discusses which place is listed on World Heritage List once per a year. To become World Heritage Site, the place must have excellent worldwide worth and reach one of ten assortments principle per natural and cultural heritage as a minimum (“World Heritage List Nominations). A first criterion is that the site shows a work of art of people’s original uncommon ability. Second, the site shows a significant replacement of people’s worth in the cultural district of the world over a long period of

Architects sent to examine the structures and are eligible for preservation has a checklist that contains several additional requirements that the structure must meet and specific questions regarding the structure as well. The Architect 's Checklist for Rehabilitating Historic Structures consists of five different categories. These categories are Check Historic Designation and Available Documentation, Check Legal Requirements, Evaluate Historic Character/Significance of Structure, Assess Physical Condition, and the Development of Preservation Project Plans. Some of the questions in the checklist consist of whether the building is a part of the National Registry. Other questions are what historical documents are available from the building, such as architectural or engineering drawings of the building or local documents or if the structure presents any bad architectural issues such as poor design.

You may be looking for the perfect spot for a summer vacation for your family. If so, Arkansas has fifty-two state parks that offer a variety of recreation and entertainment options. These state parks play a vital role in the historical education of our great state. A few of the options include; visiting a prehistoric Indian mound, digging for diamonds, viewing Civil War battle grounds, or just enjoying the many great outdoor adventures. Although there are many options, one of my favorite places to visit has always been Old Washington Historic State Park.

The management takes into account the requirements of the World Heritage convention, recommendations from the world heritage committee and other regulation put in place by the Vietnamese government. Social and economical activities on Halong Bay are regulated and effectively managed. The provincial government have made regulations that UNESCO manage that help stop illegal activity from happening to the beautiful bay. These regulation include: mud dredging, land filling, fisherman and housing. These regulations are a smart way of making sure that the site is being treated properly. The government provides for education and promotion of the area. Which is why that Ha Long Bay is a number one tourist attraction. Although the government have lots of strategies to do with the protection of Ha Long bay, they do not have any conservation ideas. Conservation is the planned protection and preservation of a certain object. As Ha Long Bay is made mostly of limestone, the erosion of the rocks will happen a lot faster and therefore will erode away into the sea or collapse in a only a short amount of time. One managenent strategy is making the islands stronger by adding rocks that don’t erode such as granite to the base. Another is having a to pay a tax to set up a buisness that involves tourism. Vietnam is still developing

The building’s features, style, and design in in Wailuku, Maui Hawaii is The Wailuku Civic Center Historic District is a group of four historic buildings. Also one non-contributing property at here that currently house the governmental offices of both the County of Maui and the State of Hawaii. The historic buildings were built during a time span from 1901 to 1931.

Historical parks are not as simple as they may seem, they have many integrated pieces that have to work together perfectly to maintain a proper stability. Laws are a large influence on how National Park Services are preserved, one of the main legislative action was congress creating the National Park Services . In doing so this guarantees the protection of parks by the federal government. A different aspect of importance is the educational aspect of Historical Parks, it must be able to have academic information available to the public, being a location of historical significance. Interpretations are similar to museum mission statements; it describes what the main goal of the museum is. Which is why they are crucial to establish, so visitors

National parks provide a highlight for the travel. These lands are set aside as natural beauties, wonders, and even phenomenons. In 2015, more than 307 million people visited the national parks of the United States, a five percent increase from 2014 (Errick). With such an increase in tourism, it becomes ever more important to implement sustainable tourism practices and make travel good for the visitors and the destination. According to the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture, “sustainable tourism is defined as ‘tourism that respects both local people and the traveller, cultural heritage and the environment.’” The purposes of national parks are to protect the heritage of the park, protect the environment found within the park, and educate the public. These purposes work hand-in-hand with sustainable tourism, and it only makes sense that these two ideals are combined together. Unsustainable travel does not have just one, foul-proof solution. Rather, several small actions combined together will have profound effect in the evolution of the system. With the help of park services and the individual tourist, we can move to a future in which we have no need to specify some tourism as “sustainable”.

Due to the fact that building a tourist destination requires lots of resources, especially the soft and hard infrastructure of a destination which are relatively important to a destination in terms of its attractiveness to tourist, proper tourism planning had to be done beforehand in order to deliver such infrastructures. Especially iconic buildings which required a certain amount of time in order to be completed, usually required large amount of planning in order to assure the infrastructures are to be completed in time in order to fit into the timeline of the project and whole master plan. It is therefore crucial in delivering the infrastructure in the stipulated timeline of the destination in order to accommodate to the tourist.
