The part of heritage created during construction processes is analysed in the paper. In foreign countries the term “built heritage” is used to define the entire legacy of construction activities which is in the disposition of contemporary society. The term “built heritage” is not used in the Lithuanian heritage preservation law. In this paper the aspects concerning the meaning of the term “built heritage” are not discussed, attention is concentrated on the analysis of miscellaneous social and economic significance of this product of construction activities as a cultural good. Challenges concerning preservation of cultural goods provided by construction activities and development prospects of these activities are revealed. A chronological table of heritage preservation objectives and means in the context of the Lithuanian construction vision is also presented.

Built Heritage

Built heritage preservation and town and regional planning emerged on scientific bases in the process which lasted until the late 20th century. The role of built heritage in town and regional planning has essentially changed in that time. It can be partly explained by developing of scientific methodology of each of the disciplines, and partly by global changes and subsequently emerging challenges.

The meaning and scope of heritage are far from settled in the contemporary Middle East, as both history and geography are being contested, reclaimed, and reconfigured. Inspired by European models yet fueled by resistance to European colonialism, heritage preservation prompted a protracted contest between traditionalism and modernism in the past century. What began as an antiquarian interest in preserving historic monuments evolved into a more holistic understanding of the import of the built heritage in recent decades. Yet the historic cities still suffer from chronic problems of poverty, overcrowding, and neglect, as well as new problems resulting from manipulated planning and real estate capitalism, which accelerated the erosion of the civic qualities that were slowly acquired over the past two centuries. To rescue these old cities, a new conceptualizing of heritage is needed that builds on the thinking that has evolved in the last decade on the right to the city.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of built heritage preservation from an Islamic perspective. This study will dig out the jurisprudential principles to challenge contemporary destruction of built heritage in the Muslim contexts. Design/methodology/approach The research challenges the radicals’ opinion by revealing their evidence to destroy the various built heritage. In fact, it confronts these acts and assists the international community to understand the basic values of Islam toward the environment and built heritage specifically. This exploratory research will follow this lead and seek the objective, first, by investigating the concept of succession and the urbanization of Earth by mankind. Reassuringly, the research introduces few verses from the Holy Qur’an to support the various arguments presented and provide a qualitative understanding of the interpretations. Moreover, few speeches of the Prophet (PBUH) are added to ease synthesizing the understanding of specific principles related to the Islamic law (Shari’ah). This study provides an in-depth understanding toward the legitimacy of the act of preservation under the umbrella of the intents and objectives of the Islamic law. Findings This study confirms that preservation of the built heritage is legitimate from the Islamic law perspective; this is due to the fact that Islam mandates mankind to utilize wisely the resources available to shape a proper physical and economic environment. The preservation of the built heritage returns with benefit to the major society and assures that resources are recycled to serve humanity for longer generations. Research limitations/implications This research promotes the concepts of good/benefit and avoiding harm to support the crux of built heritage preservation from an Islamic perspective. In quest of this notion, various scholars’ work throughout the Islamic civilization has been revealed to draw some shed on the rooted arguments to highlight various concepts of Islam toward preservation. Originality/value This paper fulfills an identified need to prove that Islam is against the destruction of built heritage and historic monuments and against all acts of violence and terrorism.

AbstractConditions in Yemen involving armed conflict and all kinds of structural challenges have also their impact on the fate of its built heritage. Yemen’s three World Heritage Sites have their particular significance, all of them representing a region with its own cultural background: Sanaa in the highlands, Zabid in the coastal Tihama, and Shibam in the remote desert valley of Hadramaut. Unlike the Old City of Sanaa, the two smaller sites struggle with the limited resources of low-developed hinterland. Both preserve a unique urban culture: Zabid with its many elements of elaborate artistry and a vernacular architecture highly adapted to tropical conditions, and Shibam as a dense structure of unique mud-built tower houses.Preservation in a background of poverty, weak capacities of official structures, and even war destruction risks can only succeed in connection with active engagement and commitment of the community, which however is heterogeneous and heritage preservation is not always their priority. Efficient strategies must therefore link local livelihood interests to preservation concerns. Market quarter and housing rehabilitation in both cities in last years had wide backing, supported income and resulted in visible upgrading of the very heart of these cities—showing locals recovery of historic structures has its potentials—even in the extreme conditions of Yemen.

The understanding and assessment of environmental impact on heritage assets is of the highest importance for heritage preservation through well-organized maintenance based on proper decision-making. The effort towards development of protocol that would enable comparison of data on heritage assets in Europe and Mediterranean countries was done through EU Project European Cultural Heritage Identity Card. The special attention was paid to classification of environmental and man-induced risks to heritage. In the present paper the idea of EU CHIC is presented. Environmental risks are discussed in context of their influence on structure of heritage buildings that are exposed to sudden environmental impacts.

Cultural Heritage Preservation

Understanding and documenting the value of a heritage property is of utmost importance. The value of built heritage is basically referred to as an intangible aspect that characterizes its importance, worth, usefulness or the benefits in various dimensions. Heritage is valued not as an intellectual enterprise but it also plays instrumental, symbolic, and other functions in society (Tidwell, 2002). This research paper focuses on analyzing the historical and architectural value of Empress Market building in Karachi which in 1995 was declared protected heritage of Pakistan having an enlistment number 1995-047 under the Antiquities Act, 1975 and the Sindh Cultural Heritage (Preservation) Act 1994 by the Government of Pakistan. To understand the worth of the building and authenticity of that worth, a value based analysis is carried out with the help of applying Nara Grid to its various aspects. Nara grid is an evaluation scheme that helps measure authenticity of a building. A historical timeline of the building phases has been developed to understand the complexity of the structure. Also to gain a better understanding of the building, the architectural value assessment is carried out on the basis of research, architectural works, construction techniques and the structural systems. It also includes an inventory of the significant architectural attributes. Keywords: Value Assessment, Built Heritage, Empress Market, Karachi

Establishing of built heritage preservation and town and regional planning on scientific bases lasted most of 20th century. The two scientific disciplines had early application in Serbia aligned with the development in wider Eurocentric area, until the political and economic turmoil in 1990s. The role of built heritage in town and city planning has essentially changed in that time worldwide. That is partly explained by developing of scientific methodology of each of the disciplines, and partly by global changes and subsequently emerging challenges. In this paper we focused on development in Serbia, which partly reflected changes in both East and West of Eurocentric area.
