| Abstract | Urban renewal usually involves large scale demolition of areas, which can lead to the destruction of social networks and local character. It has been increasingly recognized that heritage conservation in older districts undergoing urban renewal has a significant impact on enhancing a community's sense of place, identity and development. However, a clear understanding of the social factors which contribute to successful heritage conservation in urban renewal is still lacking. This study aims to identify the social role of heritage conservation in urban renewal. It also investigates whether certain underlying social factors vary among different districts, according to density, socio-demographics and the extent of redevelopment. In order to expose the factors, a survey of three hundred and twelve people in two urban renewal districts in Hong Kong was conducted using questionnaires. The identified social factors provide an evaluation framework for examining the collective impact of conservation of historic buildings, rather than individual historic buildings on a renewal district. The findings reveal that socio-demographics of an area, local characteristics, type of heritage buildings and the extent of urban renewal do not exert a significant influence on the composition of social factors. Several policy recommendations are also provided for urban planners and decision makers incorporating heritage conservation in urban renewal strategies. |
Underlying social factors for evaluating heritage conservation in urban renewal districts. after years of wide-spread demolition slum clearance and physical redevelopment in urban areas and the realization of the social problems inherent in such actions the urban renewal process has increasingly incorporated a heritage conservation approach in the overall planning and revitalization of older urban areas so as to create a better place identity couch sykes & boerstinghaus ; yuen & hock. however the above evaluation methods lack an evaluation framework that specically examines the social effects of heritage conservation on urban renewal districts. constructing a theoretical framework a preliminary list of social considerations to be taken into ac- count when conserving heritage buildings during the process of urban renewal were shortlisted through an intensive international and local literature review as mentioned in the theoretical section of this paper. as urban renewal districts usu- ally contain unique local culture and history undertaking heritage conservation projects in the districts can be even more challenging.
