Research On Cultural Image Of Historic District And It's Tourism Development

Historic district is a kind of living district, which features a historic heritage on a moderate scale and still remains the original historic landscape and consistent social structure as well as functional structure.Of all its features, culture is surely the most important part in historic district. When a culture is formed, it will have its own rules. All things within this culture will be influenced by it. The final result is that features related with the culture accumulate and become a kind of style in the forms of architectural style, block layout, social structure and so on. These features, called cultural image, are easy to be recognized and remembered. This thesis analyzes the cultural image of historic district from three aspects, namely spatial, material and behavior. It also analyzes the drive force for the formation of the cultural image.It is obvious that simple conservation cannot really protect the historic district and is also a kind of waste of resource. But making the historic district as tourism resource is proved to be a good way to show its real value and solve the problem of preservation. Cultural image, as the most special and distinctive trait, should be treated as the basis of tourism development of historic district.Finally, the thesis also illuminates, by taking a historic district in Fuzhou as an example, the method of using cultural image in the historic district for its conservation and tourism development.
