Comparative Research On The Investigation In The Historical District Between Japan And China

The protection of the historical district is a complicated and arduous work. As from impact factors, it involves various aspects such as system, technique, concept and so on. As from the carrying out of protection activities, it contains a lot of processes such as declaration for the title "the historical district", the making of protection planning, the implementation of protection planning, the following-up management and the academic research etc. Among them, the work of investigation on the historical district is one important process, which has a deep connection with the other processes. The result of investigation is one of the key impact factors on whether the protection on the historical district is successful or not. It is the basis of determining whether the investigated district matches to be declared as "the historical district" or not. Further more, It is the basis for drawing up the protective measures after the declaration. In the end, It is also the basis of the examination for the direction and the strength of the protection after the protective measures carried out for a certain period of time. So for the protection of the historical district, the quality of the investigation will directly influence the result.Currently the historical district protection in our country has not form a set of sound investigation working system. There is no evaluation system for the result of investigation, no academic support either. As the solid foundation and initial step of the historical district protection, the investigation work must be speedily improved.Through a study in Japan for one year, the author realized that "The investigation for preservation measures of historical buildings" is one specific method in preserving "the preservation district of historical buildings", which is among the Japanese historical districts preservation system. As the first step and precondition of the historical district preservation system in Japan, the independent and perfect operational process, settings of systemic, overall, thorough contents, and exercises of objective and advanced research methods in "The investigation for preservation measures of historical buildings"ensures the authority and scientificalness of the investigation result from different districts. Thus it provides a powerful guarantee to the following-up establishment and implementation of the protective measures. The specific and perfect system of the investigation in Japanese historical districts has provided a good inspiration for a sound system of investigation in our country.Based on the comparative research between Chinese and Japanese on the actuality of investigation work system constructions, practical operations, performances of investigation results etc, based on the current situation of our country underlying the historical district protection, and combined the standpoint of system theory and other related theories about historical-cultural heritage protection, this thesis tries to build up a integrated investigation work system in the historical district protection in our country. Through three aspects: funds guarantee mechanism, procedure mechanism, and investigation contents-leading mechanism, this system insures to make the investigation effectively and scientificly. For the policy leading, the funds assistance, the personnel constitution and their authorities, the content settings, the research methods, the result expressions and so on, this system has the specific and exercisable measures.By the comparative research between China and Japan, this thesis specially emphasizes the authority of the investigation in the historical district protection in our country. ]n order to assure this authority, through drawing lessons from the operational processes of "The investigation for preservation measures of historical building" in Japan and various protective workflows in China, the procedure mechanism is structured to supervise the investigation processes. Draw lessons from the running mode of the feasibility study for capital construction projects in our country, the examination and approval system on the investigation result is established further.By the comparative research between China and Japan, this thesis also specially emphasizes the scientificity of the investigation result the maneuverability of the result within the follow-up protective work. In order to assure the scientificity and maneuverability, the overall, thorough contents frame for investigation is built and the investigation purpose of each content is clarified in consideration of the protection theories and the current situation. Further more, some objective and advanced methods of investigation are introduced and some expression methods of the investigation result are normalized.
