clearly discriminated from the values of ancient architectural heritage. This
study presents the weights of various indicators to improve the integrated conservation
of our modern architectural heritage. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), the
Delphi method and Entropy method were integrally used to set up the evaluation
indicator system of the conservation efforts and calculate the weight coefficient
of evaluation indicators. Based upon the analysis, modern architectural heritages
not only have the three basic values (historical, artistic and scientific values),
but also have significant environmental,cultural/emotional and real estate values.
In the assessment system, artistic and historical values are the priorities
among those first-level indicators, while real estate value is the last one.
Among the second-level indicators, representative architectural art is the most
important factor. Consequently, emphases should be placed on the artistic and
historical values of modern architectural heritages.]]>Zhang, S. and J. Zhou,2005779 (In Chinese)Chen, W. and B. Hu,200553336Donaghey, S.,20017365380Agnew, N. and M.
