世界文化遺産地域のゾーニングの変容に関する形態学的比較分析

抄録

 The aim of this study is to create a comparative framework in which to clarify morphological and evolutionary trends of cultural World Heritage (WH) zoning. Firstly, “core” and “buffer” areas for European and East Asian properties are extracted from WH registration maps and its compositional elements are defined. Secondly, properties with “individual core” are classified according to the shape, size, proportion and extension of the 2 areas in 11 basic types and 2 subtypes. Thirdly, according to repetition and adaptation of these types for “collective core” properties, 5 distribution subtypes appear. Here, strategies towards area definition can be defined. Besides, significant differences in regional approach can also be remarked. Finally, types are located in time and connected to their contemporary heritage concepts. As a result, this method produces an objective reference framework that allows understanding the different geo-cultural trends in WH zoning morphological definition and their novelty.
