EasyChair Preprint no. 6473

Abstract

Since the successful application for the heritage of the Historic District of Macau in 2005 has been included in the UNESCO's "World Cultural Heritage List"Macau has been committed to expanding the protection of folk cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage. Since the 16th century, Macao has been an important port for cultural exchanges between China and the West, and its cultural value has been also recognized all over the world. However, with the rapid development of Macao's economy in the past decade, a series of contradictions between the protection of cultural heritage and urban expansion have arisen. Among them,Lai Chi Vun Village (Povoação de Lai Chi Vun) and Ka Ho Village(Pacoação Ká Hó) in Coloane area have been impacted by urban development. Before Macao’s return to the motherland, the villagers’ culture in Macao was dominated by Hakka culture. Under the background of cultural coexistence and cultural conflict caused by the influx of immigrants and colonialists after the impact of colonization and modern turbulence on Macao, how to protect the original local cultural context in the process of urban planning? Therefore, this paper will take the development and protection of Hakka culture in Macao as an research object, and take the overall design theory as a theoretical tool to analyze the current situation of Ka Ho Village's cultural heritage. At the same time, based on the case of Ka Ho Village, this paper will discuss the possibility of using cultural heritage in the way of "village protection" during the period of urban expansion. Finally, this paper will analyze how to further build and develop local cultural heritage from the perspective of the government, tourists and local residents.

Keyphrases: cultural development, cultural heritage remains, urban expansion
