ABSTRACT The earthquakes in 2015 brought Nepal to the centre of attention of the global heritage community. At the Patan Durbar Square and Royal Palace – part of the Kathmandu Valley’s UNESCO World Heritage Site – considerable progress has been made in the conservation and reconstruction of damaged, built cultural heritage, mainly made of brick, timber and stone. Collaborative work between the Institute of Conservation, University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Kathmandu Valley Preservation Trust and local craftsmen has made an important contribution. An update and review of recent projects in Patan is presented, on the basis of ethical, philosophical and practical approaches. In Nepal, stakeholders in the conservation arena (Department of Archaeology, municipality, community, international actors) pursue widely divergent approaches. While some also apply modern materials and Western-based principles of conservation, others use only traditional, or supposedly traditional, materials and methods. This leads to recurring controversy. In Patan, also owing to the long-term collaboration of Austrian scholars and experts, a balance with remarkable results of earthquake response has been achieved, illustrated here.

追踪趋势：尼泊尔帕坦地震后保护方法研究

摘要 2015 年的地震使尼泊尔成为全球遗产界关注的焦点。在帕坦杜巴广场和皇宫——加德满都谷地联合国教科文组织世界遗产的一部分——在保护和重建受损的建筑文化遗产方面取得了相当大的进展，主要由砖、木材和石头制成。保护研究所、维也纳应用艺术大学、加德满都谷地保护信托基金和当地工匠之间的合作做出了重要贡献。在伦理、哲学和实践方法的基础上，对帕坦最近的项目进行了更新和审查。在尼泊尔，保护领域的利益相关者（考古部门、市政当局、社区、国际参与者）采取了截然不同的方法。虽然有些还应用现代材料和基于西方的保护原则，但有些则仅使用传统的或被认为是传统的材料和方法。这导致了反复出现的争议。在帕坦，同样由于奥地利学者和专家的长期合作，在地震响应方面取得了显着的平衡，如图所示。
