“…There are good arguments for greater integration with, and even prioritization of, Indigenous cultural values over Western scientific approaches as part of cultural heritage assessment and sustainable management (Tutchener et al, 2020;Tutcherner et al, 2021), a key aspect of which is the emphasis given to landscapes rather than to the artefact or site. Landscapes that are 'rare' and therefore significant, contain remnant (i.e., precolonial) or unusual landforms or other geographic or environmental characteristics.…”

“…Landscapes that are 'rare' and therefore significant, contain remnant (i.e., precolonial) or unusual landforms or other geographic or environmental characteristics. All archaeological material in such landscapes is considered rare and to have a high level of significance (Tutchener et al, 2021) but the presence of tangible cultural material is not necessarily a criterion for significance and the presence of oral histories needs to be regarded as adequate evidence of that significance (see also McNiven, 2003). These criteria overlap with those used for geoheritage significance, with archaeology and cultural heritage linked by sedimentary units that comprise these landforms (Brocx and Semeniuk, 2007;Brocx, 2008;Ward et al, 2014) both in terrestrial and marine contexts.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…The term 'attribute' describes qualities and characteristics symbolising cultural values [18]. However, scholars in the field often argue that there is a need for more systematic methods and tools for monitoring and assessing the attributes that define the cultural significance of heritage [7,17,19,20].…”

Many studies acknowledge the significance of assessment frameworks for urban heritage sites in preserving their identities. Due to the pandemic and its impact on heritage sites and visitors, the spatial features and identities of many heritage sites have undergone inevitable shifts, challenging the current assessment frameworks. As numerous urban heritage sites are being revitalised post COVID-19, this study aims to explore how heritage-assessment frameworks can be adapted during the pandemic to sustainably capture the identity of urban heritage sites, particularly from a spatial perspective. Methodologically, the study first examines existing urban-heritage-assessment frameworks, including typologies, embedded spatial attributes, and analysis methods, through a literature review. The research adopts the methodology framework for collecting and assessing evidence to demonstrate the cultural significance outlined in the ‘Guidance on identifying place and object of state-level social value in Victoria’ under Criterion G by the Heritage Council of Victoria. Chinatown, Melbourne, serves as the case study to address the research questions, utilising qualitative data from archival review and field observation. The results highlight the shortcomings of current heritage assessments, particularly in urban contexts, emphasising the overlooked importance of spatial attributes for understanding urban identity. This is exemplified by the exacerbated identity crisis in Chinatown, Melbourne, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the study recommends future heritage assessments incorporate spatial attributes with a thematic approach tailored to diverse cultural-heritage backgrounds in the post-pandemic era. The study acknowledges the sample size and encourages future studies to test the framework with case studies of varied backgrounds.

“…The Bill established the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council and Register and created powers for recognised Aboriginal parties and officers (Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006). While this legislation is today a business-as-usual component of government bureaucracy -and has even been criticised for legitimising destruction of cultural heritage while simultaneously conferring greater powers on First Nations groups (see Tutchener et al, 2021Tutchener et al, , p. 1315 -in 2006 the government faced attacks from the Coalition, the property development lobby and conservative media about perceived threats to development and property rights (Asher, 2006;Giles & McRae, 2005). During the Bill's second reading in early May 2006, opposition members of parliament (Thompson, 2006) latched onto differing opinions within the Aboriginal community about the legislation to argue that the Bill was flawed.…”
