Community Residents' Heritage Preservation Intentions and Influencing Factors Based on the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior: A Case Study of Historic Districts in Tianjin

Community residents are important stakeholders in preserving historic districts. This paper introduces the extended theory of planned behavior to explore the intentions of residents to participate in heritage preservation, and further explains the influencing factors. Seven historic districts in Tianjin are selected as case studies. The results show that the residents' intentions to preserve heritage are positively influenced by three subjective perception factors of heritage preservation attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, as well as two objective situational factors of environmental quality of historic district and policy guidance for heritage preservation. Furthermore, the objective situational factors indirectly influence heritage preservation intentions through the subjective perception factors. Based on these findings, this paper puts forward corresponding suggestions to enhance the heritage preservation intentions of community residents.

The Rediscovery of Polychromy in Some Le Corbusier’s Works: A Problem of Restitution

The theme of the restoration and conservation of polychrome surfaces will be addressed through several recent case studies of interventions on Le Corbusier’s work owned by the Fondation Le Corbusier:the Petite Villa sur Le Lac Léman(1923-1924),the Maisons La Roche and Jeanneret(1923-1925),and his apartment-studio in the Immeuble Molitor(1931-1934).The recent interventions allowed for numerous preliminary studies(in situ,archival,and laboratory),and proved to be an opportunity for historical and material knowledge,paying close attention to discoveries and observations during the construction phase.An important aspect of these experiences was the in-depth study of polychromes,conducted on architectural surfaces but also on furniture and fixed furnishings made of concrete,metal and wood.This was an important moment in the knowledge of the work during the restoration phase because of the richness of the stratigraphic surveys related to the many modifications made over time sometimes by Le Corbusier himself.This text exposes technical,scientific,and operational aspects specific to the study of interior and exterior polychromes,and in parallel raises theoretical-methodological questions of restoration of the polychromies and the painting.

The Planning of Rural Public Space Influenced by the Cultural Tourism Industry

With Peitian Village in Fujian Province as the research object, existing problems in architectufe, in＆astfucture, population, industty, and culture were analyzed, and a solution to the combination of cultural tourism industry and. public space planning was proposed. Space planning methods were illustrated to achieve a sustainable cultural tourism industry chain and ecological agricultiiral production model, and landscape design means were discussed to increase economic income while optimizing the living environment.

Organic stabilization in earthen plaster:Eco-compatible architecture and ancient techniques in Tata Somba homes

The study of organic stabilization is crucial for understanding its impact on the durability and effectiveness of earthen plaster.Analyzing natural admixtures’effects on plaster properties provides insights that aid in optimizing plaster composition and application for desired characteristics.The addition of biopolymers,known to enhance plaster performance,necessitates further investigation to understand their role in earthen plaster stabilization.This study focuses on Tata Somba homes in Benin and Togo,recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites.These unique architectural examples embody“architecture without architects”,relying solely on local traditional knowledge.The objective is to explore and revive Tata Somba’s ancient eco-technology for earth plaster stabilization.Research shows that biopolymers’combined stabilization and application techniques can improve earthen plaster performance.Seven promising bio-stabilizers were identified,suggesting their potential as sustainable,effective options for CO_(2) mitigation in buildings.These findings not only deepen our understanding of earthen architecture but also underscore the potential of merging traditional,eco-friendly building methods with modern scientific insights to create sustainable solutions for cultural heritage preservation and contemporary built environments.
