The Protection and Valorization of Cultural and Environmental Heritage in the Development Process of the Territory

Lost Gardens: From Knowledge to Revitalization and Cultural Valorization of Natural Elements

“…The term revitalization is used when the garden is renovated with a distinct application of the stylistic and natural elements of the period, which were most relevant in the site, adding functions to meet the actual demands [5,9,13]. Revitalization aims to enhance its readability, authenticity, and identity [13,122,123], since gardens should reflect the period of their existence, the values and skills of those who have owned and cultivated them [1]. Revitalization of lost gardens always includes reconstruction, restoring as closely as possible to the original form, considering the original spatial structure and mass proportions, and establishing a long-term management plan [5,13].…”

“…The term "valorization" is derived from the concept of "value", and it is the process of giving, adding, or increasing value to something.

Pangangalaga o Pag-unlad? (Preservation or Development): A Phenomenological Study on the Views of the Stakeholders on the Conservation and Urbanization of a Historic Town: The Case of Lucban, Quezon, Philippines

“…Still, haphazard growth, the ungovernable intrusion of modernization, poor planning and inadequate awareness of heritage values are combined to produce problems that threaten tangible and intangible heritage (Persson, 2004, as cited in Kiruthiga & Thirumaran, 2018). Through the identified issues, the UNESCO recommendation on the historic urban landscape (HUL) (UNESCO, 2011) has synthesized these elements by proposing a holistic understanding of historic urban areas through allinclusive approaches (Lorusso, 2016).
