“…Likewise, they consider the way urban and heritage policies are drawn up and actions are prioritised. The approach used in each of these case studies is similar to the approach detailed in the HUL Recommendation as seen in the way citizens are incorporated into urban conservation and urban planning processes in the case of Hamilton (steps 1, 2 and 3) (Angel et al, 2017); the consideration of commercial areas, rail networks, public spaces and social aspects of heritage whilst focusing more on regeneration that benefits the community rather than tourism (steps 1, 3, 4 and 5) (Dhingra et al, 2017); the revelation in the Suakin case study of the failure to connect participation in the management plans and of the need for improved development of intangible assets as identified by citizens (steps 1, 3, 4 and 5) (Taha, 2014); and the proposal for the Annia Popilia network to be a driving force for sustainable development and cultural, social and economic growth for the urban centres it touches, whilst respecting archaeology, architecture, arts, popular traditions, oenology and gastronomy, music and active participation (steps 1, 4 and 5) (Genovese, 2019, p. 351). Cases in Asis, Chester and Amsterdam have also been referenced due to the fact that their approach and focus are very similar to the HUL approach even if their plans were developed long before the Recommendation was drafted (steps 1, 2, 3 and 4) (Siravo, 2015).…”

PurposeThe main aim of this paper is to determine how well the UNESCO 2011 Recommendation on Historic Urban Landscape (hereafter, the HUL approach) is understood by the academic community today. It will review relevant research, highlight shortcomings regarding the HUL concept and approach and explore how well the six proposed steps are being considered when implementing the HUL approach.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents and discusses the results of a systematic review of 140 peer-reviewed publications, published in international academic journals between 2008 and 2019 and available in databases such as WoS and Scopus, such as journal articles, book chapters and books. More specifically, this research takes the six-step process as its theoretical framework in order to understand if the six steps are being followed in the case studies where the HUL approach has been implemented. Following this, it assesses gaps in the HUL concept and approach. The paper explores the HUL implementation management process, investigating what is being done, how it is being done and who is involved.FindingsThe concept ‘Historic Urban Landscape’ has been used in research since 2008. However, the first case studies implementing the HUL approach were not published until 2013. While there is an abundance of theoretical research in relation to the HUL concept and approach from different perspectives and to varying degrees of depth, the case studies which practically demonstrate the HUL approach and its six steps are scarce. This paper will also show how feasible the steps are and which are used the most.Originality/valueThis research demonstrates if the HUL approach is being understood in the academic field and if the implementation of the six steps is being reflected in the literature. This approach will reveal how these steps are being implemented and if this is having an effect on the heritage planning process.

“…In the field of urban conservation, focus areas include historic urban patterns, heritage preservation, visual linkages, contextual harmony, and the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage from an aesthetic perspective [40][41][42][43][44]. Themes like heritage accessibility, utilization types, interpretation facilities, and the impact of tourism development are prevalent in studies on heritage value and revitalization [45][46][47][48].…”

How Does the Historic Built Environment Influence Residents’ Satisfaction? Using Gradient Boosting Decision Trees to Identify Critical Factors and the Threshold Effects

Historic cities, rich in heritage values and evocative of collective memories and meanings, also constitute crucial living environments for urban residents. These cities increasingly face challenges from urbanization and globalization, leading to cultural discontinuities and the homogenization of cityscapes. Such developments can diminish residents’ sense of belonging and identification with their cities. Emphasizing local residents’ satisfaction is thus essential to urban conservation. This study, using data from Dandong, China, employs Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) to identify factors affecting residents’ satisfaction in historic built environments. The analysis reveals that over half of the variability in satisfaction is linked to distinct features of the historic environment. Among the fourteen key influencers identified, contextual order emerges as the most impactful factor, notable for its significant effects and interactions with other variables. This study also uncovers pronounced non-linear effects and thresholds for physically measured characteristics. For instance, open space markedly boosts satisfaction when exceeding 34%, satisfaction diminishes with travel times to heritage sites longer than 6.7 min, and satisfaction decreases when the entropy index for diversity surpasses 0.758. These findings provide critical insights for guiding urban conservation strategies and promoting a data-driven approach to enhance residents’ satisfaction in historic urban settings.

“…Of these 89 publications, 29 included relevant HUL research and understood the HUL approach. Some excluded publications have case study implementations similar to the HUL approach but no reference to the Recommendation (Taha, 2014;Siravo, 2015). Some correctly refer to the HUL approach, but their focus shifted in the implementation phase (Psarra, 2018;De Medici et al, 2018;Berg, 2018;Moertiningsih et al, 2020;Garau, 2020;Hussein et al, 2020;Dhingra & Chattopadhyay, 2021;Kashihara, 2021;Klingmann, 2021;Giuliani et al, 2021).…”

Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) identifies an urban area due to its cultural and natural values and the qualities of its historical plane. Within this context, this article aims to determine and categorize these values used in the HUL approach as indicators. The research question focuses on finding specific indicators used in the HUL approach to measuring change beyond considering natural and cultural heritage values in the landscape context. These indicators in 228 peer-reviewed publications implementing the HUL from 2008 to 2021 are assessed. The six-step inclusive and exclusive theoretical framework is established as a method in this article to detect the inadequate implementations of HUL in case studies. The initial finding of this article is that the adequacy of using the HUL approach in publications is questionable as the implementation of the HUL approach processes was incomplete or misunderstood in most of them. Only 29 articles of the 228 publications implemented the HUL approach in its entirety. The other finding is that when the change measurement indicators in the HUL approach are examined, it is evident that natural indicators were the least used group compared to cultural and identity indicators. Each cultural, natural, and identity indicator group should be utilized evenly to implement the HUL approach adequately. This article presents a fundamental indicator list that includes cultural, natural, and identity groups for correctly using the HUL approach.
