城镇型矿业遗产与所在城镇的社会、经济和文化存在多方面的密切联系,也因此面临更多压力,对其开展专门研究极为必要。本研究在字词释义分析和相关概念回顾基础上,提出了城镇型矿业遗产的定义。通过对世界遗产名录和国家矿山公园中矿业遗产的分析,认为城镇型矿业遗产可以分为物质性和非物质性两大类,其下又可以分为多个亚类;通过对典型项目的归纳和比较,认为城镇型矿业遗产构成较为多样、遗产整体区域融合程度较高、在空间分布上多呈点块状集聚分布、遗产环境复杂且风险较大。最后,研究将城镇型矿业遗产利用模式归纳为3种,即教育一博物馆模式、游憩一公园模式和多功能一综合体模式。
Urban mining heritage has a close relationship with society, the economy and culture. Here, we define urban mining heritage on the basis of meanings of words and a literature review. Then, according to close examination on urban mining heritage and related heritage lists, we divide urban mining heritage into tangible mining heritage (which is further divided into five subcategories according to taxonomy in the National Mining Park Construction Guide of China) and intangible mining heritage (which can be divided into five subcategories according to taxonomy in the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage). Four characteristics of urban mining heritage were found after comparison with other types of heritage: (1) urban mining heritage has more diverse elements; (2) urban mining heritage has a higher degree of integration with regional society; (3) the spatial distribution of urban mining heritage appears as a cluster of mining vestiges spots and blocks; and (4) the mining heritage environment is complicated and fragile. Considering its proximity to the huge consumer market operating in urban regions, urban mining heritage has more value when it is facing pressure from social and economic aspects at the same time. Therefore, based on the constitution, spatial layout and surrounding environment of urban mining heritage, we propose three kinds of utilization models: the model of educational museums, the model of recreational parks and the model of the urban multi functional complex.
