Abstract

Despite the growing literature on sustainability assessment in the urban context, the resulting approaches and methods utilise several differing theoretical frameworks and lack a unifying vision and modus operandi. Innumerable tools and instruments have been developed for particular purposes and rather narrow goals. Curiously, these tools and instruments remain unable to trace and assess sustainability in vernacular forms and traditional built environments, even though environments such as these demonstrably possess sustainable principles beside their aesthetic values and spatial qualities.

This paper reviews the theoretical background underpinning the current sustainability assessment methods in the urban context to identify their general limitations and their specific applicability to vernacular and traditional built environments. Also, this paper discusses some of the cultural and spatial qualities of traditional built form to identify its embedded sustainable strategies and practices. The paper concludes with an outline conceptual framework intended to develop general sustainability principles for traditional built forms in response to their natural and cultural contexts.

A literature review of the concepts of sustainability assessment in the urban context and embedded sustainable principles in vernacular and traditional built form is followed by a thematic analysis of its limitations, which feeds into this conceptualisation of a new, principle-based framework. A total of 10 principles of sustainability are proposed to assess sustainability in traditional built environments, taking into account the variation of locality and site-specific context.

本地和传统建筑环境的城市可持续性评估
尽管关于城市环境下可持续性评估的文献越来越多,但由此产生的方法和方法使用了几种不同的理论框架,缺乏统一的愿景和操作方式。无数的工具和仪器都是为了特定的目的和相当狭隘的目标而开发的。奇怪的是,这些工具和工具仍然无法追踪和评估乡土形式和传统建筑环境的可持续性,即使这些环境除了其美学价值和空间质量外,还明显具有可持续性原则。本文回顾了当前城市可持续发展评估方法的理论背景,指出了它们的一般局限性,以及它们在乡土和传统建筑环境中的具体适用性。此外,本文还讨论了传统建筑形式的一些文化和空间品质,以确定其嵌入的可持续战略和实践。论文最后概述了一个概念框架,旨在为传统建筑形式制定总体可持续性原则,以应对其自然和文化背景。对城市环境中可持续性评估的概念进行文献回顾,并在乡土建筑和传统建筑形式中嵌入可持续原则,然后对其局限性进行专题分析,从而形成一个基于原则的新框架的概念化。考虑到地区和场地具体情况的变化,共提出了10项可持续性原则,以评估传统建筑环境的可持续性。

期刊介绍: Journal of Urban Management (JUM) is the Official Journal of Zhejiang University and the Chinese Association of Urban Management, an international, peer-reviewed open access journal covering planning, administering, regulating, and governing urban complexity. JUM has its two-fold aims set to integrate the studies across fields in urban planning and management, as well as to provide a more holistic perspective on problem solving. 1) Explore innovative management skills for taming thorny problems that arise with global urbanization 2) Provide a platform to deal with urban affairs whose solutions must be looked at from an interdisciplinary perspective.
