当代社会中遗产价值的保存与维护

Preservation and Conservation of Heritage Values in Contemporary Society

在相关国际保存与维护文献中，经常以「价值」作为遗产评估的标准，在保存与维护的态度上，也经常涉及「价值」的保存与呈现。但「价值」是一个很模糊的概念，它包含了哪些层面，又要如何来进行保存？以往为辨识出复杂的价值类型与意涵，常藉由社会学、历史学、人类学、文化学…等等学科，作为探究与分析价值的理论基础，却造成遗产之价值陷於学术架构之泥沼中，尤其评估者多来自於学术团体或是公部门，属於在地的声音经常被忽略；然而在现代全球化的社会中，由地方社群所发展的保存策略，才能适切的与地方文化紧密结合。因此，本研究提出遗产价值的辨识必须建立在自身的社会文化涵构之中，并且是在一个永续性发展的保存策略下，以公众利益为目标。如此，才能找到最具魅力的价值，进而拟定最佳的保存与维护计画。

In international literatures of preservation and conservation, ”value” has often been adopted as one of assessment criteria of heritage. Preservation and presentation of ”value” are also involved in the attitude toward preservation and conservation of heritages. However, ”value” is an indistinct concept. What aspects are included and how will they be preserved? In the past, in order to identify various value types and their corresponding significances, sociology, history, anthropology, cultural studies and other subjects have often been served as the bases for exploring and analyzing values. These processes resulted in being caught in the morass of academic structure during evaluating heritage values. Besides, as evaluators usually came from academic communities or public sectors, the local voice were often ignored. Nevertheless, in the modern globalized society, preservation strategies developed from local communities may be integrated with the local culture appropriately and closely. This paper will argue that, through the strategy of the sustainable development, the identification of heritage values must be based on their own social and cultural context, and public benefits will be the major purpose. In this manner, the most appealing value could be found, and the most suitable preservation and conservation plan could be developed.
