Cultural heritage and its economic potential in rural society: The case of the kibbutzim in Israel

Ethnocultural Resources Of Rural Settlement Environment Of The Republic Of Crimea

“…Ethnocultural problems related to the settlement environment are systematically developed by the authors of this article (Stolyarova et al, 2016). In foreign studies, the state of the settlement environment is closely linked to the problem of preserving cultural heritage (Amit-Cohen & Sofer, 2016;Prompayur & Chairattananon, 2016;Rodzi et al, 2013). It emphasizes the relevance and importance of cultural heritage not only as an economic resource for development in modern conditions but also as a long-term universal potential in the implementation of intergenerational transmission of immaterial values (Kordel, 2016;Petronela, 2016).…”

Built context (1.0/3.5/5.0) Building between complex or without constructions around it iv 4 Constructive system (1.0/3.5/5.0) Heterogeneous or uniform characteristics of the constructive system Heritage value (1.0/3.5/5.0) Properties with low/average/great historical value ir 10 Occupancy (1.0/3.5/5.0) Low/media/high occupancy in the building adapted to the specific context of this study.…”

“…Nowadays, the anthropogenic pressure is becoming higher and higher due to the expansion of urban settlements and the need of connecting them, and this has been identified as being one of the most dangerous factors that is affecting the integrity and value of cultural heritage [4,5]. In this sense, by analysing the concept of vulnerability, it can be examined: i) in a technical/engineering approach, which is able to define, (physical) vulnerability can be seen as "degradation of an element, within an affected area by a hazard", and ii) in a social approach, is related to the characteristics of the community or population that lead to differential impacts of natural hazards [6].…”
