Research On The Protection Of Settlements Along’ The Tea-Horse Ancient Road’ Basedon The Heritage’s Value Assessment

’The Tea-Horse Ancient Road’ is the most complex and highest international trade passageway over the world.It is the historical cultural and economic exchange corridor of China for thousands of years,with high historical value and conservation significance.But as a result of Tea-Horse Ancient Road facing the difficulties of massive amount of protection objects,the impact of urbanization,the lack of regional coordination mechanism and many other realistic protection dilemma,on the one hand,it is important to complete the protection level and system of’The Tea-Horse Ancient Road’at the macro level as soon as possible,on the other hand,the necessary protection measures for the dying historical cultural heritages along the Tea-Horse Ancient Road should be taken.Taking the historical and cultural heritage of settlements which along the Dali section of the Tea-Horse Ancient Road in Yunnan Province as the research object,and using the experience of domestic and overseas historical cultural protection and research outcomes for reference,especially the Lineal Cultural Heritage.On the base of optimizing and improving the current cultural heritage assessment system in China,using the analytic hierarchy process and the entire-array-polygon synthesis illustration method to assess the value of typical cultural heritage of settlements along the Tea-Horse Ancient Road,in order to identify the main problems of historical and cultural heritage protection and regeneration,and propose relevant sustainable protection measures.The conclusions of the study are as follows:(1)In terms of settlement assessment elements,considering the overall requirements for the organic combination of protection and reuse of China’s historical and cultural heritage,it is necessary to accelerate the construction of protection system at the macro level,but also strengthen the rescue conversation of historical cultural heritage presented by settlements along the road at the micro level.The settlement characteristic components(resource endowment),protection and development and public participation should be included.(2)In terms of protection measures,the current settlement evaluation system and methods in China are applicable to the classification and gradation of settlements,but hard to be used for the formulation of protection measures.The original hierarchical analysis should be adjusted appropriately to avoid subjectivity of weight assignment and focus on the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of each item,so as to find the shortcomings of protection and development of settlements and formulate targeted measures.(3)Through assessment,the comprehensive assessment value of Shaxi,Xizhou and Niujie settlement decreases in turn,is 0.6459,0.4532,and 0.2517 respectively.The outcomes figured out that the protection and regeneration of historical and cultural heritage of settlements along ’The Tea-Horse Ancient Road’ in Dali section of western Yunnan are still in primary stage,and the reuse of historical and cultural resources has not been well realized.(4)The sustainable conservation of settlements along the Tea-Horse Ancient Road should follow the contemporary,coordinated and innovative development policy.The sustainable conservation measures should focus on the following aspects:cultural protection and inheritance,the application of the Tea-Horse Ancient Road for World Heritage,the strength of regional linkage development and so on.Through the quantitative evaluation of the heritage value of settlements along’The Tea-Horse Ancient Road’,this research expanding the research area of the entire-array-polygon synthesis illustration method,and then assessing the heritage value of research object preferably.Besides,it can provide scientific basis for the formulation of protection measures in the next time.
