TY - JOUR AU - Strömberg, Per PY - 2020/01/09 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Återbruk av det industriella kulturarvet i kulturarvsindustrin JF - Tidsskrift for kulturforskning JA - Tfk VL - 0 IS - 2 SE - Artikler DO - UR - https://ojs.novus.no/index.php/TFK/article/view/1730 SP - AB - <p>This paper aims to examine adaptive reuse of the industrial heritage in the Swedish countryside from the point of view of four different values within the heritage process: experiential values, economic values, symbolic values, and values of human dignity. How do they correlate with each other? Adaptive reuse of buildings as a strategy has had a great impact on urban development. What about initiatives on the countryside? Can the urban success criteria be easily transferred to rural areas?</p><p>The survey shows that initiatives largely derive from local driving forces - not from real estate developers, as in urban areas. Prices of land are cheaper on the countryside. In return, the businesses are often dependent on a certain basis for tenants and visitors who can cover maintenance and operation. The municipality, public funding and EU-funds play an important role as support. Often, the post-industrial building complexes adapted to new functions are often used as a figurehead and a symbol for regional creativity, attractiveness and place making in a similar way to larger cities. However, more than being economically successful as cultural businesses, they may have a greater value for the countryside as "cultural gravity centres" for self-understanding and cultural significance for the local community, not least for those people who previously had their workplace at these sites. The most cul­turally, aesthetically and economically sustainable examples of rural reuse are those that succeed in balancing these four values while establishing contact with the outside world.</p> ER -
