บทคัดย่อ

As modernization advances, protecting coastal defense cultural heritage within the spaces of Garrison-type villages presents significant challenges. This study focuses on Xiongya garrison village in Shandong Province, a key example of a Garrison-type village that retains coastal defense heritage. Using documentary analysis and qualitative methods, including participant observation and interviews, the research identifies issues in the integration of architectural heritage space, daily living spaces, and tourism spaces. Despite the local government's emphasis on preserving ancient villages and promoting tourism-driven economic development, these three spaces have not been cohesively unified. The lack of authenticity and failure to integrate protection into daily life have diminished the expression of the village’s Outstanding Local Values (OLVs). Drawing on theories of tangible cultural heritage safeguarding and localization, this study analyzes the spatial issues in Xiongya garrison village and proposes an optimization strategy to strengthen villagers' proactive engagement in preserving coastal defense sites. The strategy focuses on normalizing the protection of coastal defense culture within daily life, guided by government policies. By leveraging the tourism sector, the approach aims to achieve a balanced development of architectural heritage space, villagers' daily living spaces, and tourism space. As urban development accelerates, this strategy holds the potential to transform Xiongya garrison village into a leading example of contemporary urban historical landscapes, promoting both heritage conservation and sustainable community development.
