“…By quantifying the spatial quality of urban streets, this study provides a scientific basis for urban planning and construction, complementing the street vitality evaluation system proposed in previous research and providing technical support for the landscape improvement and spatial optimization of historic streets. In the realm of preservation, researchers combined cartography, linguistics, and fractal geometry to evaluate the characteristics of Liverpool Street and Kingsway Street in Ghana's Cape Coast and subsequently proposed preservation measures for these two streets [30,31].…”

The commercialization of historic streets constitutes a pivotal aspect of urban cultural heritage, and the comprehension of their visual perception serves as a valuable asset to urban planning and cultural conservation efforts. However, current research concerning the disparities in visual perception among diverse demographics within historic streets, as well as their spatiotemporal dynamics, remains insufficient. This study aims to utilize mobile eye-tracking technology to delve deeply into the visual perception characteristics of diverse demographics within commercialized historic streets, while also analyzing their spatiotemporal dynamics. We explore the disparities in visual perception of historic streets among groups with varying degrees of architectural knowledge and professional literacy. Through meticulous observation using mobile eye-tracking technology, we elucidate the visual perception patterns of different demographic characteristics through statistical analysis and spatiotemporal modeling. The findings reveal significant discrepancies in visual attention and perception among various groups. Participants with a higher understanding of architecture tend to focus more on architectural details and structures within the streetscape compared to those with a lower understanding, who exhibit greater interest in elements such as shops and signage. Moreover, during the process of perceiving the streetscape, participants’ eye movements transition from surrounding landscapes and historical edifices upon initial entry to the district, gradually shifting towards the commercial activities and distinctive architecture within the district. This study delves deeply into the visual perception characteristics and spatiotemporal dynamics of commercialized historic streets, providing invaluable insights for urban planning and cultural preservation endeavors. By revealing the impact of different demographic characteristics on the visual perception of historic streets, it offers new insights for urban planning and cultural heritage conservation.

“…Novas construções que surgem em substituição de antigas extinguem a essência social e cultural da cidade eliminando o senso de identidade e lugar das pessoas (MARILENA, 2010;YUNG et al, 2017). O significado arquitetônico, estético, histórico e cultural do patrimônio construído ao longo dos anos passou a perder espaço no planejamento urbano das cidades para as gerações presentes e futuras (FEILDEN, 2003, OPPONG et al, 2018.…”

La investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar cómo se organizan los planes directores municipales para la preservación arquitectónica de las ciudades. El universo de estudio fueron las ciudades de Chapecó y Concordia ubicadas en el occidente del Estado de Santa Catarina. La investigación documental se adoptó como un procedimiento metodológico a través de la legislación municipal que orienta su desarrollo y la protección del patrimonio histórico de los municipios. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los municipios tienen en sus planes directores las premisas que rigen la protección del patrimonio histórico, artístico, cultural, urbanístico, arqueológico y paisajístico. Ambos planes maestros contemplan la Ley 10.257 de 2001, pero tienen un bajo indicador de recursos en cultura y poca inversión en cultura per cápita y sobre el ingreso neto corriente.

“…Obviously, for an example; the environment of urban row houses differs from that of a mansion with designed landscape such site features as gardens, walks, and fences, which can include their design and materials. As according to Oppong and Sarbeng (2018), physical streets serve as a part of the urban realm where people have physical and visual access, as such, they serve as a political space where parades and demonstrations are held. Additionally, according to Warnaby (2009), the historic and architectural character of buildings can create a distinctive urban retail streetscape and, in the process, build character.…”

Architectural characteristics are one of the crucial aspects of identifying the heritage buildings and carrying its values of significance. It plays an essential role in guiding critical players of the heritage buildings to maintain their buildings. This paper reviews the elements that had been considered by researchers in assessing the architectural characteristics of the heritage buildings on the selected case study to quantify their criteria using the Analytical Hierarchy Principles (AHP) techniques. The result indicates overall visual aspects, and optical character at the close range of the heritage buildings is essential in assessing architectural characteristics of heritage buildings.
