Phát triển bền vững Hội An từ tài nguyên văn hóa

Abstract

From its geographical position and long history in the context of Quang Nam – Central Region, Hoi An City has created its own unique nuance. The three characteristics of Hoi An are [1] Urban – ancient trading port; [2] City that merges many cultures; [3] Living museum of traditional urban. These “cultural DNA” have demonstrated the close association between tangible and intangible cultural heritage. If they disappear or deform, Hoi An will no longer have “cultural resources” as a “competitive advantage” in the region and internationally, ensuring socio-economic development. Therefore, sustainable development orientation for Hoi An must start from culture. Along with heritage conservation is the use of “indigenous cultural resources”” as the core for the creation of fields in the cultural industry. At the same time, the city’s urbanization process must harmonize between the conservation area of the “old town”, the existing urban area and the new urban area. Special attention should be paid to preserving the lifestyle identity, the traditional way of life of the Hoi An residential community.
