Cultural Regeneration

Industrial heritage reflects the development track of human production activities and witnessed the rise and fall of industrial civilization. As one of the earliest countries in the world to start the Industrial Revolution, Belgium has a rich industrial history. Over the past years, a set of industrial heritage renewal projects have emerged in Belgium in the process of urban regeneration. In this paper, we introduce the basic contents of the related terms of industrial heritage, examine the overall situation of protection and renewal in Belgium. The industrial heritage in Belgium shows its regional characteristics, each region has its representative industrial heritage types. In the Walloon region, it is the heavy industry. In Flanders, it is the textile industry. In Brussels, it is the service industry. The kinds of industrial heritages in Belgium are coordinate with each other. Industrial heritage tourism is developed, especially on eco-tourism, experience tourism. The industrial heritage in transportation and mining are the representative industrial heritages in Belgium. There are a set of numbers industrial heritages are still in running based on a successful reconstruction into industrial tourism projects. Due to the advanced experience in dealing with industrial heritage, the industrial heritage and the city live together harmoniously.

Em razão da predominância da produção voltada para a exportação de bens agrícolas, tais como açúcar, café e algodão, a industrialização brasileira no século XIX e na primeira metade do século XX foi parcial, tanto em seu conteúdo quanto em sua extensão geográfica. A expansão da economia do café e a chegada, no final do século XVII, de um novo e centralizado processo de transformação industrial da cana-de-açúcar sustentou a dominância da produção de exportáveis, permitindo o surgimento de um setor industrial têxtil que se expandiu geográfica e economicamente no século XX. A ausência de informação censitária industrial para o período que antecede o ano de 1920 impediu a realização de estudos mais gerais sobre a história industrial brasileira. O presente artigo trata da evolução histórica da indústria brasileira do ponto de vista da dimensão espacial dos estabelecimentos industriais, no que diz respeito às instalações residenciais, de serviços e da mão-de-obra. Desde 1996, um arquivo contendo dados sobre assentamentos industriais com vila operária foi parcialmente elaborado abrangendo mais de 80% do território brasileiro. Esse material permitiu uma descrição geral dos estabelecimentos industriais em cada região do Brasil no período de 1810 até o presente.Palavras-chave: Geografia Industrial; arqueologia industrial; vila operária. Abstract: Because of the predominance of rural export production of commodities such as sugar, coffee and cotton, the history of Brazilian industrialization in the XIX and the firs half of the XX centuries has tended to be partial both in its thematic and in its geographical extent. The expansion of a coffee economy and the late eighteenth century arrival of new industrial centralized sugar cane processing sustained the dominance of export commodity production while allowing the emergence of an industrial textile sector which expanded geographically and economically in the XX century. The absence of industrial census information before 1920 has inhibited general surveys of industrial history. The current paper attempts to address this historical evolution from the particular viewpoint of industrial settlement with characteristics which contained an urban dimension in terms of work force housing and social facilities. Since 1996 an archive of industrial settlements with housing provision has been partially elaborated for more than 80% of the country’s territory. The article has been based on ongoing site visits and bibliographic research on accumulated case histories of industrial establishments in each region in the period of 1810 up to the present.Keywords: Industrial Geography; industrial archeology; company-town.

The 2nd International Conference "Cultural Heritage online – Empowering users: an active role for user communities" was held in Florence on 15-16 December 2009. It was organised by the Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale, the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and the Library of Congress, through the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program - NDIIP partners. The conference topics were related to digital libraries, digital preservation and the changing paradigms, focussing on user needs and expectations, analysing how to involve users and the cultural heritage community in creating and sharing digital resources. The sessions investigated also new organisational issues and roles, and cultural and economic limits from an international perspective.

Industrial Tourism

Reducing industrial activities has led to the need for identifying and implementing strategies aimed at an economic usage of affected areas pointing to the past industrial age. There are many successful examples globally of using industrial heritage in industrial tourism. In Romania, the achievements are not so advanced, although over time there have been several initiatives to preserve culture, knowledge, tools, equipment, customs, and clothing related to the exploitation of mineral resources. The aim of this paper is to propose a project management model in addressing the needs of communities facing post-mining closure contexts and to examine how an integrated managerial outlook for various stakeholders involved in local tourism portfolios might reach solutions for the ongoing long-term social consequences of mine closures. The paper provides as a case study the transformation of the industrial patrimony of the former Petrila Mining Assembly, which serves as a lesson of industrial archeology, being one of the last ensembles in the area that still retains part of each stage of its evolution. The involvement and contributions of local non-profit organizations, municipalities and local businesses in the emerging of industrial tourism in Petrila are analysed through the proposed managerial model.

Set Up

From industrial monument to industrial heritage In 1998 the Minister of Culture called on professor Erik Hofrén to propose government measures to further the protection of industrial heritage. From local initiatives to protect and preserve old industrial sites, notably related to mining and metallurgical installations, a true movement concerned with this history emerged and gained strength in the last decades of the 20th century. Within this movement the concept of industrial archæology has been adopted to include a wider environment than the isolated factory. This development constitutes the background to the government action.In 1999 Erik Hofrén’s proposal was published as a departmental report (SOU 1999:18) with the title Questions to the industrial society. This was an unusual approach to the task, which instead of offering a concrete programme, indicated areas and aspects of concern. A crucial shift in concepts was proposed: ’the heritage of industrial history’ should be replaced by ’the heritage of industrial society’. Thus the wider implica- tions of the introduction of industrial technology and production systems for societal change were stressed.As a result of the report a committee was set up by the Minister in 1999 to function for three years on behalf of the government with the aim of initiating research, supporting initiatives and stimulating interest and institutional cooperation in the field. The committee submitted a report on its activities in 2002, The cultural heritage of the industrial society (SOU 2002:67). An attempt is made in this article to review the two reports and evaluate their outcome. It is evident that industrial heritage is a complex and difficult field, full of controversial issues which make co-operation between industrialists, workers’ organisations, public institutions and the local citizens complicated. However, it is pointed out, local museums have a key role to play and their significance has not been sufficiently valued by the committee.
