Point Cloud-Oriented Inspection of Old Street’s Sustainable Transformation from the Ceramic Industry to Cultural Tourism: A Case Study of Yingge, a Ceramic Town in Taiwan

Abstract

Yingge, a ceramic-producing town in Northern Taiwan, has experienced three development stages in the 50 years since 1970. The town's fabric and the second contour evolved through the transformation of its former manufacturing industry into cultural tourism on Old Street. This process of evolution is evidenced through chronological changes of overlaid sections, skylines, and horizontal sections along Old Street since 1970. The street fabric has been shaped by its historical background, government planning strategies, commercial activities, cultural identity, and living patterns. Three-dimensional (3D) scans supported our analysis by capturing and segmenting the vocabularies and overlaid sections with special characteristics and changes. Commercial spaces and open street spaces were found to be mutually influential. A flexible and sometimes hidden spatial structure of fabric was elucidated. Yingge has become a large-scale shopping mall and important window into cultural tourism, with its fabric and contours redeveloped to be consistent with the identity of nearby cities. 3D scanning data were combined with documentation and maps to create a referable connection between reality and chronological data. An augmented reality (AR) application was used to simplify the inspection process through a productive connection between as-built scans and user interactions.

A framework for considering the use of computational design technologies in the built environment design process

“…Studies in the first category provide an in-depth description of adopting technologies for benefitting only specific tasks. These studies include acquiring highresolution geometry data of existing site conditions with 3D LiDAR scanning (Shih et al, 2019(Shih et al, , 2020, automatic generation and evaluation of a large number of design options using simulations and algorithms (Haymaker J et al, 2018;Lin & Gerber, 2014;Lorenz et al, 2020), improving design constructions with digital fabrication methods (Melenbrink et al, 2020;Wagner et al, 2020) and better understanding of built designs with data analytics (Fan et al, 2021;V E et al, 2021). They do not provide an overview of the benefits to a design project and a design practice.…”

Internet Technology-Driven Innovative Research on the Synergistic Development of Helo Culture Communication and Intelligent Tourism

“…Due to its public nature, local governments frequently act as disseminators of tourist culture, which is a crucial component in the growth of local tourism and cultural industries [1][2][3]. The relationship between tourist cultural communication and the local tourism business from the standpoint of government promotion, however, has received relatively little attention among the various study findings pertaining to tourism communication [4][5][6].…”

A Study on the Development Trend and Mechanism Perfection of Cultural Industry in Western China Based on Variable Model

“…Shih, Hsu, and Diao's study on the cultural sector of a ceramic town in northern Taiwan found that cultural tourism promoted the local economy to a certain extent. The economy also improved the local basic and ecological construction, and the two developed mutually and the change of chronological order proved this evolutionary process [15]. Liang, F. et al studied the connection between cultural perception and cultural industry based on content analysis techniques such as word frequency analysis, semantic network analysis, and sentiment analysis [16].…”
