ABSTRACT

Conserving and sustaining heritage buildings for future generations is a challenging issue. Hence, this study seeks an alternative means of identifying appropriate new functions for heritage buildings with rich historical layers, through a developed ‘Reuse Projection Framework’. The framework has been developed through a variety of research methodologies to determine appropriate functions for architectural monuments in general and Othello’s Citadel in the Walled-City of Famagusta in particular. The first step of the Framework covers analytical and practical research based on a literature survey and in-situ observation. Next, it explores architectural and historical features to identify those architectural layers and alterations over time. Lastly, it examines the heritage values of the monument to assess its significance. In light of the first step, possible options for re-use within sustainable tourism scenarios are defined. In the second step of the proposed framework stakeholder opinions of new functions, are investigated through quantitative methods based on a questionnaire survey. The survey was conducted with the local community and cultural tourists as potential end users of re-use functions, as well as heritage experts from governmental and non-governmental bodies. The comparative results obtained from different stakeholders are interpreted to make suggestions for appropriate functions for future.

摘要

为子孙后代保护和维护遗产建筑是一个具有挑战性的问题。因此，本研究寻求通过开发的“重用投影框架”为具有丰富历史层次的文物建筑确定合适的新功能的替代方法。该框架是通过多种研究方法开发的，以确定建筑古迹的适当功能，尤其是在Famagusta寨城的奥赛罗城堡。该框架的第一步包括基于文献调查和现场观察的分析和实践研究。接下来，它探讨了建筑和历史特征，以识别随着时间的推移这些建筑层和变更。最后，它检查了纪念碑的遗产价值，以评估其重要性。根据第一步，确定了在可持续旅游业情景下可重复使用的可能选择。在拟议框架的第二步中，通过基于问卷调查的定量方法研究利益相关者对新功能的意见。这项调查的对象是当地社区和文化游客，他们是潜在的再利用功能最终用户，还来自政府和非政府机构的遗产专家。解释从不同利益相关者获得的比较结果，以为将来的适当功能提出建议。这项调查的对象是当地社区和文化游客，他们是潜在的再利用功能最终用户，还来自政府和非政府机构的遗产专家。解释从不同利益相关者获得的比较结果，以为将来的适当功能提出建议。这项调查的对象是当地社区和文化游客，他们是潜在的再利用功能最终用户，还来自政府和非政府机构的遗产专家。解释从不同利益相关者获得的比较结果，以为将来的适当功能提出建议。
