<p><em>The function of a city is not only for economic development, but also the city tells the story of the collective memory of its citizens who still exist in their past culture. These culture are the city's cultural resources for tourism. One of them is the Kotatua area of Jakarta, there is a Chinatown area, known as Glodok. This study aims to describe how the Glodok Chinatown cultural area was transformed into an urban tourist destination from the 18th century to the present. This area has many historical attractions or historical tourist destinations such as centers of sacred activity (temples / temples, and churches), as well as profane activity centers (markets, roads / alleys, etc.). Therefore the future development must refer to Law No. 11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Heritage that the use of cultural heritage must be based on protection and development not the other way around. So that it is expected that conservation-based tourism in the Glodok Chinatown area can sustain well without any changes which certainly damage the element of authenticity as Chinatown areas in Jakarta and Indonesia in general.</em><em></em></p><p> </p><p>Keyword: <em>Kotatua, Glodok, City, Cultural Heritage, Tourism</em></p>

The article is devoted to study the role of intangible cultural heritage in the development of modern urban areas. Modern cities are experiencing a transformational load associated with the transition from industry to the post-in- dustry – service industry comes on the place of the plants, and one of the leading sectors becomes tourism. Social and environmental factors on the one hand, reflect the general level of development of the city and, on the other hand, in a post-industrial economy are the main actors in the development of all areas, including city tourism. Intangible cultural heritage is seen as a social factor, the formation of which is related to the environment (natural- ecological spheres), and history of the city. Intangible cultural heritage serves as a catalyst for the creative economy and the events of the city, which in turn have a positive impact on city tourism. The city squares, streets, parks are becoming the immediate territorial areas, where the intangible cultural heritage are demonstrated to the citizens and tourists and their level of status, comfort and attractiveness depends largely on the implementation of the tourism potential of the intangible heritage. Cities skillfully combining the intangible heritage, creative industries, event and educational tourism receive an additional impulse for the development of city tourism and the whole economy of the city. The Republic of Tatarstan last decade is actively moving towards the formation of territorial attractive tourism product. Kazan has ranked among the leading cities of domestic tourism sector. Moreover, any tourism city is interested in attracting more tourists for longer periods, which is possible due to the diversity of the program in the city or region. Intangible cultural heritage can play an important role in solving this problem. In the article using the example of the three cities of the republic – Kazan, Chistopol and Elabuga – is shown as a combination of social factors, such as intangible cultural heritage, and natural factors can create an attractive tourism route. Publication of the article was supported by Russian Humanitarian Research Foundation and government of the Republic of Tatarstan as part of scientific project № 15–13–16004.


Heritage is the historical result of past interactions. Urban history reveals components of that heritage in the context of a city and helps us to perceive cultural values in their unique connections. Historians have several kinds of references that are used to study urban history. Travelbooks and yearbooks, two of those historical sources, are deliberately emphasised in this study. They introduce not only tangible and intangible cultural heritage of a city as possible tools for sustainability and diversity, but also are essential references in tourism research for particularly historical academic views. Cultural heritage of today together with those lost or almost forgotten can be interpreted through urban history sources within its own methodology but in favour of urban tourism. The outcome is incomparable data for related territory. Besides, it can generate possibilities to enhance not only cliché methods for urban management but also understandings of business leaders. This paper,therefore, underlines distinctive studies of Ottoman Urban History as interdisciplinary input within tourism literature and for possible contributions in improvement of city tourism practices.Urban history studies are considered along with theperception of cultural heritage. The city Bursa is used as a case study in order to exemplify aims of this paper in wider conceptions for urban tourism research and practices. Introduced and evaluatedtravelbooksand yearbooks are hence written about Bursa. Travelbooksare especially chosen from those written by European travellers within nineteenth century. As a result, evaluation also captures perceptions of travellers in mentioned period. Yearbooks of the same era, on the other hand, are also introduced within the concept of urban tourism and cultural heritage.

The medieval Armenian church of Famagusta, Cyprus, lying in the northwestern or Syrian quarter of the city (Fig. 1), provides a case study through which to raise issues concerning the historical conservation of Famagusta's cultural heritage.2 This article surveys aspects of the building's history, its conservation record, and proposes how it might play a role in any future plans to vitalize the historical centre of the city. The structure may, if utilized in concert with the other historical structures of Famagusta, function to contribute to the rejuvenation of this medieval walled town (Doratli et al. 2007:65-88).


Monumental buildings in a historical environment are of significant value due to their centralized locations, massive scale, and striking features. Monumental buildings also play an important role in the introduction of the city in question. This study examines the tourismoriented viewpoints of the locals in Tokat on monumental buildings as cultural heritage samples. It aims to reveal both the interest of the city-dwellers in tourism, and their positive and negative views on it. The study was based on a face-to-face survey with a total of 200 people conducted in Tokat city center during the months of April and May 2016. An incidental method was used to select the survey participants. The survey was in two parts. The first included questions used to elicit the viewpoints of the locals in Tokat on tourism and tourists. The second part of the survey contained questions about the tourism-directed usage of the monumental buildings in the city, and whether these monumental buildings corresponded with tourism in terms of portraying the city image. As a result, it is observed that Tokat is an important tourist attraction with its historical texture; the locals in the city recognize the significance of tourism and they treat tourists in a hospitable manner. The historical texture and a city’s history are among the most important issues in cultural tourism. Additionally, the monumental buildings are the most significant elements as they reflect the architectural features of the relevant periods.

Esta reflexión crítica de corte teórico-filosófica toma como objeto de estudio la ciudad y, más específicamente, la transformación que ha sufrido esta idea o conceptualización frente a las nuevas formas de vida, de organización y de control, potencializadas por el desarrollo de la tecnología y la colonización del pensamiento y la vida. Los habitantes de los pueblos o espacios rurales sufren transformaciones en su estilo de vida con la expansión de la ciudad o mancha urbana, generando la aparición de las formas de vida modernas y tecnológicas que se desarrollan en estas y a las cuales se adaptan. Las prácticas de agricultura poco a poco son desplazadas por las nuevas tecnologías de la urbanización; junto con ello las costumbres y tradiciones se modificarán creando una combinación entre lo urbano y lo rural, poniendo sobre la mesa la discusión en torno a la identidad de los habitantes. Un ejemplo de esto es el poblado de Ocotepec, en el estado de Morelos, cuyo proceso de urbanización resulta más que evidente. Lo interesante de Ocotepec consiste en el hecho de que en el 2014 la UNESCO le otorgó al pueblo el reconocimiento como patrimonio inmaterial cultural por sus costumbres del Día de Muertos, y además de que es considerado pueblo indígena. Esto fue posible porque frente a la expansión de la ciudad y su urbanización se contempló dentro del discurso político de la UNESCO el proteger este patrimonio. De aquí que se vuelva fundamental abordar los temas de la identidad, el patrimonio y las ciudades contemporáneas, caracterizadas como “machas urbanas”, lo que abre la reflexión en torno a las dos categorías que nos permitirán aquí analizar éstas: se trata del lugar y del no lugar, de la mano de Marc Augé.   This philosophical reflection takes the city as the object of study and specifically the transformation of this idea or this concept before the new forms of life, of organization and control, increased by the technological development and the colonization of thought and life. The inhabitants of a town suffer transformations in their lifestyle with the expansion of a city or an urban spraw, generating new modern and technological ways of life. The agriculture becomes replaced by new technological urbanization and also the ways and traditions change, creating a combination between the country and the urban that questions the identity of their population. As an example of this there is a country called Ocotepec in the state of Morelos, Mexico. The most interesting part of this town is that in 2014 the UNESCO granted Ocotepec the cultural heritage recognition because of the day of the dead, and that it is considered a native country. From this point on becomes fundamental the approach to the subjects of identity, heritage and contemporary cities, also named urban spraws, that open a new reflection in two categories: one being space and the other not space, following Marc Augé proposal.

The city tourism has become a subject of growing interest in tourism research, in a dynamic sector and with a particularly complex behaviour. In this scenario, the management of available information turns out to be difficult. Until now, specialized literature in tourism has been focused on general analysis, but down to a higher level of disaggregation (cities), presents a greater complexity. This paper aims to classify cities declared World Heritage by UNESCO on the basis of information available, by applying a multicriteria decision aid method: The Promethee.
