One of the trends in the development of tourism is the appearance of open-air museums, which are the hallmark of a museum and tourist destination. On the example of the central quarters of Chisinau, the exhibits of the open-air museum can be architectural monuments of the interwar period – preserved urban villas of 1930-40, which combine the characteristic features of Art Nouveau, functionalism, modernism and Neo-Romanian architecture. As world experience shows, the best results in the popularization of historical and cultural heritage are achieved by specially protected historical territories, where new types of museums are organized – air museums or open-air museums. Such an example is the unrealized projects of the 1980s “The Ethnographic Museum of the Moldavian village” and “The Historical Quarter “Pushkinskaya Gorka”. The article examines the three-axis method of “triluchya” as a cultural heritage of urbanism, which was addressed in the post-war years (1945-1948) by the Academician of Architecture A. Shchusev when working on a project proposal - the scheme of the general plan for the development of the city of Chisinau. His idea of enriching the expressiveness of the city was to synthesize the planning traditions of historical neighborhoods while solving the problem of preserving the plasticity of the existing building and its further development.

<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 purpose of the research is to present guidelines and recommendations that can contribute to the post-war recovery of urban cultural heritage by a proposed methodology, based on other experiences in the reconstruction and preservation field of historical areas after wars, with the possibility of applying them, as an attempt to regain the features of the old part of the city. We also suggest those suggestions and guidance on three different levels. These guidelines are applicable at three levels: the historic core of the city, neighbourhood level, and individual quarters level. Each level had a specific theme for reconstruction planning that can maintain the city’s particular character during the current circumstances. Many cities have been heavily damaged as a result of the armed conflict in Syria, destroying most of the city’s neighbourhoods, including the historic district. Hence, we present a study of the consequences of this destruction on the historic fabric of the city, and search for the best solutions to give it the needed protection. Finally, the results and recommendations of this research will lead to developing answers to deal with historic centres and historic buildings that have been damaged by the armed conflict and were neglected before the war. The goal of this research is to identify fundamental principles that can lead to a successful reconstruction process while also preserving the city’s cultural identity.

This paper presents the first findings of a research investigation into understudied aspects of the touristic use of St. Petersburg’s cultural heritage, notably the development of the ‘Maritime Capital of Russia’ as a tourist brand. We argue that the effectiveness of this imaginary ‘Maritime City’ entails a complex approach based on the concept of ‘Maritimity’. Through this perspective we consider the numerous maritime heritage sites of the city as a dynamic playground for the cultural play of heritage consumption. Using guidebooks as a key historical source, we demonstrate how and why touristic representations of St. Petersburg’s maritime past have been transformed, and explore the link between the general development of the country between 1980 and 2003 and the maritime element in the vision of St. Petersburg as a tourist destination.

The relevance of the article is in the search for practical approaches to the renovation of the industrial hub "Fabrychnyi" in the city of Dnipro. This industrial hub occupies valuable enormous territory of the city and is adjacent to its central part. Its renovation and reconstruction, change of function and profile of use in the context of complex refunctionalization of the historical industrial heritage of Dnipro is a timely and logical way for the further development of the city system within the framework of the city's renovation policy. The article reveals the historical stages of the formation of the industry of Yekaterinoslav-Dnepropetrovsk-Dnіpro. A retrospective of the development of the general plan of the city and its industrial zones is presented. In particular, the history of "Fabrychnyi" industrial hub, the conditions for the formation of its functional planning structure in the context of historical stages are described in detail.  The article identifies the complex problem of reorganizing the industrial zones of the city taking into account the need to remove industries of the 1-3rd hazard groups. The significant historical and architectural value of the industrial environment of the industrial hub has been established as the most significant cultural heritage site of the industrialization period, which carries the spirit of the city and its community. The article also indicates that the territory for residential and commercial development could not be used due to the high level of polluted land plots of enterprises with heavy metals. Therefore, a set of measures should be taken to clean them due to the demand of the city for recreational areas. This article is aimed at maintaining a dialogue in the city-environment system, touching upon the global problems of greening and refunctionalization in order to improve the quality of life of citizens.

The paper considers the image of Ekaterinburg / Sverdlovsk in the 1940s Urals literature. It analyzes the content of the literary and artistic almanac “The Ural Contemporary” (1949), dedicated to the anniversary of Sverdlovsk, the novel by I. I. Likstanov “Green Stone” (1949), poems by E. E. Khorinskaya and others. The characteristic features of the image of the “capital of the Urals” in literature for adults and children are highlighted. The changes that have occurred in depicting of Sverdlovsk in comparison with the previous periods are noted. With a limited list of depicted urban loci, constant mention in various texts of the same key figures and events of urban history in the post-war period, the emphasis is shifted to the image of Ekaterinburg / Sverdlovsk as a city not only with a rich history, but also with a heterogeneous, complex socio-cultural environment. Based on the literary analysis the authors conclude that, although the portrayal of Ekaterinburg / Sverdlovsk saved previously formed images of the city-worker, factory-city, the center of economic life of the mining region, special attention in the second half of the 1940s is beginning to give to the beauty to the urban landscape, the convenience of urban living, the dynamics of urban development. The action in the texts is carried out from apartments and factory shops to the streets, the characters are depicted not only in situations of heroic work and everyday survival, but as ordinary citizens, even idle flankers who notice the quality of their place of residence. It is concluded that such a significant change in the image of Ekaterinburg / Sverdlovsk is associated, on the one hand, with changes in notion of the previous stages of the history of the city, on the other hand, with the desire of the Sverdlovsk Writers’ Organization to prove its self-sufficiency.
