Cultural approach has been gradually applied to urban regeneration practices. The scholars identified the progressive, creative and entrepreneurial cultural strategy in urban regeneration, and summarised four aspects of characteristics. These approaches form the theoretical framework within which to classify diverse sets of industrial heritage precincts. A scoping study of cases of industrial heritage reuse in Shanghai was undertaken based on this progressive, creative and entrepreneurial cultural framework. The selected cases have common characteristics: inhabiting the former abandoned industrial areas and having been changed to the three cultural uses. The scoping study investigates the commencement time of the adaptive reuse, the original factory characteristics, cultural approach, current precinct type, tenants and the reuse process. By summarising Shanghai’s experience on industrial heritage reuse, this paper expanded the main characteristics of the progressive, creative and entrepreneurial cultural approaches into seven aspects, namely, architectural type, potential value, goals, main stakeholders, target audience, type of cultural programs and facilities, and cultural activities. This paper attempts to in enrich existing literature on urban regeneration and heritage conservation, and provide a reference to the industrial land regeneration practice in China.

This paper presents a framework of introducing GIS technology to record and analyse cultural heritages in continuous spatial scales. The research team is developing a systematic approach to support heritage conservation research and practice on historical buildings, courtyards, historical towns, and archaeological sites ad landscapes. These studies are conducted not only from the property or site scales, but also investigated from their contexts in setting as well as regional scales. From these continues scales, authenticity and integrity of a heritage can be interpreted from a broader spatial and temporal context, in which GIS would contribute through database, spatial analysis, and visualization. The case study is the construction of a information indexing framework of Dagu Dock industrial heritage to integrate physical buildings, courtyards, natural settings as well as their intangible characteristics which are affiliated to the physical heritage properties and presented through historical, social and culture semantics. The paper illustrates methodology and content of recording physical and social/cultural semantics of culture heritages on different scales as well as connection between different levels of database.

يتناول البحث قضية الملاءمة العالمية للمنظور الغربي في دراسة الظاهرة الدولية. ويتم ذلك من خلال اختبار مدى تعبير بعض النظريات الغربية، وتحديداً الواقعية والليبرالية والماركسية والبنائية، عن واقع العمليات الدولية وأنماط الفعل الدولي في إطار حضاري مختلف وتحديداً الإطار الحضاري الإسلامي. ووجدت الدراسة أن هناك تعارضات متعددة ترتبط بأبعاد فلسفية وفكرية وعملية تثير تساولاً حول الملاءمة العالمية لهذه النظريات. في إطار عدم ملاءمة تطبيقها على نماذج تنتمي إلى إطار حضاري مغاير عن الإطار الغربي الذي نشأت فيه. وتختبر الدراسة إمكانية تطوير إطار تنظيري يحمل مضامين أكثر تفسيرية وملاءمة للتعبير عن السياق الحضاري الإسلامي.   Abstract The paper tackles the issue of universality of the Western paradigm in studying the international phenomenon, through testing the applicability of some theories such as Realism, Liberalism, Marxism and Constructivism in a different cultural framework such as the Islamic civilizational context. The study found that there are multiple contradictions relating to fundamental philosophical, intellectual and practical dimensions that raise questions about the universal relevance of those theories to models of different civilizational contexts. Finally the paper examines the potentiality of developing a theoretical framework that carries more philosophical, conceptual and methodological relevance to Islamic civilizational context.

Theoretical Position

The theoretical framework of building heritage conservation is not necessarily a predefined set of tenets and axioms with potentially universal significance, but a result of particular challenges and practices bound in time and place. In this article, the guidelines of building heritage conservation in Switzerland in the last century are outlined briefly with reference to the broader European theoretical discourse. Focusing on the contradictions between the theoretical position and practical work of Linus Birchler, it argues for the necessity to re-read and assess our principles of building heritage conservation in relation to the specific built cases they originated from.
