Protection of the Sichuan Earthquake Ruins Landscape Resources

Abstract:

The earthquake was a double-edged sword. On one hand, it brought about catastrophe to the human society. On the other hand, it created plentiful preciously earthquake ruins resources. Based on previous studies on earthquake sites resources, it aimed to explore methods and measurements of protecting earthquake ruins resources from the heritage protection perspective. Firstly, the notion of earthquake site was defined, then the classification system of earthquake ruins was set up and the earthquake ruins in Sichuan province were listed. Secondly, the values of Sichuan earthquake ruins were analyzed, such as scientific value, spiritual culture value, science education value and tourist economy value. Finally, those earthquake sites must be kept in authenticity and integrity. This paper also illustrated the process of protecting the earthquake sites in Sichuan. The objective of this study was to preserve the earthquake ruins resources well and provide experiences for protecting the similar ruins or sites resources.
