ABSTRACT

Heritage preservation is a broad topic that affects virtually all fields of human activity. One of them is industrial heritage which is, among others, represented by the construction of dams. The assessment of such constructions, which could be important from the point of view of heritage preservation and potentially be declared cultural monuments, should be based on the analysis and historical development of the particular society. It should reveal which constructions can be found in a selected area and how they are divided. Dams include hundreds of constructions. A professional heritage officer, who is to decide whether to process and submit a proposal for the inclusion of a dam in the list of cultural heritage, thus faces the problem of how to carry out the analysis effectively. This article describes a procedure for using both cluster analysis and scaling method to categorise a set of 119 dams to be able to identify exceptional, so-called iconic, structures. By comparing the selection of significant representatives of dams created by the application of the two methods, which proved to be appropriate in terms of the industrial heritage preservation, a majority concordance is reached.

摘要

遗产保护是一个广泛的话题，几乎影响到人类活动的所有领域。其中之一是工业遗产，其中以水坝建设为代表。从遗产保护的角度来看可能很重要并可能被宣布为文化古迹的此类建筑的评估应基于特定社会的分析和历史发展。它应该揭示在选定区域中可以找到哪些结构以及它们是如何划分的。大坝包括数百个建筑。一个专业的遗产官员，决定是否处理和提交将大坝列入文化遗产名录的提案，因此面临着如何有效地进行分析的问题。本文介绍了使用聚类分析和缩放方法对一组 119 座大坝进行分类的过程，以便能够识别特殊的、所谓的标志性结构。通过比较应用这两种方法创建的大坝的重要代表的选择，这被证明在工业遗产保护方面是合适的，达到了多数一致。
