Abstract

Historic buildings play an important role in studying the evolution of urban history. However, fast urbanisation has proposed challenges to maintaining its vitality. These challenges highlight the importance of identifying solutions for the revitalisation of historic buildings. Therefore, this paper aims to explore solutions for the revitalisation of historic buildings in the ancient city of Liaocheng. A comprehensive evaluation of the existing eight unused historic buildings was conducted using the building adaptive reuse potential method to determine the potential for renovation design and the priority of reuse. Simultaneously, the Reach value, core density, and correlation of supporting facilities within the ancient city were analysed based on GIS technology and urban network analysis tools. Based on the evaluation, strategies for functional transformation and optimisation of surrounding facilities are proposed to provide a reference plan for the sustainable development of historic buildings in the ancient city of Liaocheng.

Descriptive scope: 4 PCTA

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
