Recording, evaluating and management of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, through a decisionmaking multi-criteria analysis
Get PDFNowadays, we live and act in cities fulfilled with urban spaces, architecture and of course heritage culture, expressed by tangible and intangible assets. The last decade, the economic crisis, shows that cities and global heritage is demolished, damaged or in danger. This paper tries to identify culture in multilevel way, through space to global. As tourism is concerned with cultural (culture routes, touristic heritage attractions cities), this project aims to record culture from object to plan, including tangible and intangible assets. The paper, proposes a table, separated in tangible and intangible categories such as buildings, oral traditions, biodiversity etc. That’s a first step of a fully record of the heritage of a city. In a step below, criteria indicators are placed in each category, concerning to a decision-making analysis called MAUT. With this system each city can have a record, evaluation and knows which culture assets must save, manage, promote or protect first. The mainly idea of this project is to propose a new innovated system about urban culture, including multilevel heritage analysis and a new management system, which can be used for tourism, urban actions etc.publishedVersio
Recording and evaluating the tangible and intangible cultural assets of a place through a multicriteria decision-making system, as a new approach to managing cultural heritage: the case of Ano Syros
No full textThe paper sheds new light on multicriteria decision-making systems, through the proposal of a new open access multicriteria evaluation based on a decision-making method. This methodology calls into question the creation of a calibration though a ranking list -best to worse- of the most significant tangible and intangible cultural assets of a place. It proposes a step by step, user-friendly manual in order to provide an easy understanding and application. The study follows the following steps: (a) a brief overview of the literature of the tangible and intangible cultural assets of places on a national and international level (b) the multicriteria decision-making system (in this step, the study proposes a new procedure for the recording and evaluation of the cultural assets of a place) (c) the case study of Ano Syros (d) conclusions. The research project proposes a new methodology, firstly as a new initiative to create a new multi criteria scientific tool and secondly through the in-depth, and detailed examination of this multicriteria method in the particular case of Ano Syros.Το παρόν άρθρο έχει ως βασικό αντικείμενο μελέτης, την πρόταση ενός καινοτόμου πολυκριτηριακού συστήματος καταγραφής και αξιολόγησης των άυλων και υλικών πολιτιστικών πόρων ενός τόπου. Συγκεκριμένα αφορά τη δημιουργία ενός νέου επιστημονικού εργαλείου που αρχικά καταγράφει και εν συνεχεία, με τη χρήση ποσοτικών και ποιοτικών δεικτών, αξιολογεί την πολιτιστική σημαντικότητα της έννομης και καταγεγραμμένης για κάθε τόπο άυλης και υλικής πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς. Η εργασία καταλήγει στην ανάπτυξη μιας πλατφόρμας ανοιχτού κώδικα και στη κατάρτιση ενός εύκολα κατανοητού και διαχειρίσιμου από τον εκάστοτε χρήστη (φορέα, ιδιώτη, εταιρεία κλπ.), εγχειριδίου. Η βασική μεθοδολογία της έρευνας στηρίζεται σε τρία στάδια. Το πρώτο στάδιο, αφορά το θεωρητικό κομμάτι της έρευνας με την βιβλιογραφική επισκόπηση του άυλου και υλικού πολιτισμού. Το δεύτερο στάδιο αφορά το αμιγώς ερευνητικό κομμάτι, με την ανάπτυξη του πολυκριτηριακού συστήματος και την ολοκλήρωση του εγχειριδίου χρήσης, μέσα από την περιγραφή των αναλυτικών του βημάτων. Στο τρίτο στάδιο η εργασία προχωρά στην εφαρμογή του συστήματος στον παραδοσιακό οικισμό της Άνω Σύρου, με στόχο τον έλεγχο του ορθού τρόπου λειτουργίας του μέσα από πραγματικά δεδομένα. Τέλος, προχωρά στην έρευνα πεδίου με χρήση ερωτηματολογίων

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
