| Abstract | The Quarter of 36 Old Streets is located in the heart of
Hanoi, a city with nearly 1000 years of history. Historic and
architectural vestiges in combination with a traditional urban
fabric in the area give it unique character as a part of national
heritage . Yet economic constraints and neglect may endanger the
very existence of historic environment and lead to dilapidation
of the housing stock, which consists of genuine examples of
urban vernacular architecture in a setting of traditional
lifestyle.
This conservation study is an attempt to identify
conservation potentials an~ to find a viable way to conserve the
quarter. The historic environment and the housing conditions were
analysed in detail through survey of all 80 listed objects and
213 houses in a focused area which was chosen as the most
representative. Opinions of the residents and the public were
gathered to find out the level of possible community
participation
A classification system was applied to the historic objects
to compile a list of priority for immediate treatment . The houses
were also classified in terms of age, style, physical soundness
and other characteristics.
The findings are used as a basis for a possible conservation
strategy, which emphasizes division of role betwen the
institutinal framework and comminuty participation.
The results of the study indicate that there are important
potentials for conservation of the area , and it is hoped that
the proposed components of conservation strategy can contribute
to the ongoing process of formulating a concrete conservation
program for the area. |
