遗产价值的价值体系构成、认知和评估等研究始终是自然与文化遗产学术领域重要的研究方向之一，并且随着研究的深入，社会经济的发展，人们观念上的变化以及行为上的作为，价值研究已经从初期的功能性研究为主转向了多元发展研究。特别是价值的“动态性”研究在探讨遗产价值是“变化的”和“发展的”等方面、取得了一些研究成果。然而，基于可持续的视点，即以历史时间轴为变量这一视角，系统从方法、理论和实践等多层面探讨遗产价值的动态特征和演变模式还很少，一些相应产生的遗产动态保护研究也是有局限性的。基于上述问题的提出，本文既采纳了文献阅读法、案例分析法以及相关交叉学科的分析模型和分析方法、模型的实证性研究等，从对文化遗产价值在时间维度上变迁的研究视角，比较系统梳理和界定了相关名词术语、初步提出了文化景观遗产价值基于时间轴的演变，并以五台山自然文化遗产价值研究为案例，初步做了案例分析。旨在能更加准确评估遗产价值、认定遗产的重要性和挖掘遗产的潜在价值，更有效的指导遗产文化的保护与管理。首先，研究针对所提出的名词进行解释，包括初始价值、附加价值、再生价值、未来价值以及遗产价值变迁速率的定义、分类、阐释等；分析了初始价值、附加价值、再生价值以及未来价值之间的关系，不应是单一的逐级替代关系，而是相互可以叠加的层级结构关系。其次，讨论了遗产价值演变的三种基本路径，既均匀变迁、加速变迁和减速变迁，以及两种特殊路径，波动变迁和突变变迁，并进一步提出、归纳和分析了影响遗产价值变动的四类因素，即：1、促进性因子，包括宗教文化、皇家文化等；2、限制性因子，包括经济衰退、朝代更替等；3、敏感性因子，包括外来文化入侵、旅游开发等；4、风险性因子，包括自然灾害、战争等。第三，以五台山的价值研究为案例初步分析了五台山的初始、附加、再生、未来价值，探讨五台山遗产价值变动影响因子以及遗产价值的变迁过程。总之，本文提出了基于时间序列的遗产价值变迁历史观视角，在名词术语界定、遗产价值时间序列变迁模型以及作为案例研究的五台山遗产价值历史变迁等三方面开展了初步研究工作，希望对未来遗产价值和保护的学术研究有所参考，为遗产的动态保护实践有所借鉴。
Of heritage values, the construction, identification and assessment have long been an important area of research into natural and cultural heritage. Along with the development of research and economy, as well as people’s conceptual and behavioural changes, heritage value research has shifted from its early focus on functionality to the adoption of multiple approaches and perspectives. In particular, some achievements have been made in the research into the dynamics of values to explore their changes and developments. However, in terms of methodology, theory and practice, little has been reported in regard to the use of historical perspective, that is, the use of historical timelines as a variable, to systematically investigate the dynamic characteristics and evolutionary models of heritage value change, Consequently, research relating to dynamic heritage protection is also limited. In view of the above mentioned research gaps, the current research first categorizes and defines relevant key terminologies, and then proposes a model for assessing the evolution of heritage values, grounded in the dynamic-evolutionary view of heritage values. This model was proposed using a combination of research methodologies such as literature review, case study, analytical models and techniques for cross-disciplinary research, including comparative and empirical studies. The proposed model is then applied to the evaluation of the dynamic values of Wutai Mountain Natural and Cultural Heritage as a case study. The aim of this case analysis is to explore the effectiveness of this model in accurately assessing heritage values, and in confirming the significance and potential of heritages, in order to provide effective guidance for its protection and management. The thesis makes three major contributions to heritage value research. Firstly, it proposes and defines key concepts including initial, additional, renewable and future values and the change rate of heritage values, and analyzes the relationship between these values. This analysis leads to the conclusion that the four kinds of values do not simply replace each other in a sequential manner. On the contrary, they inter-relate and interact with one another at multiple levels. Secondly, when discussing heritage value changes, this research proposes three basic evolutionary paths, which are even, accelerated and decelerated. There also exist two special evolutionary paths, which are fluctuation and abruption. More importantly, this research identifies and examines four kinds of factors that impact the evolution of heritage values. They are facilitating factors, including religious culture, royal culture and economic growth; restrictive factors, including economic recession, change of dynasties; sensitive factors, including the impact of foreign culture, tourism development and change of production and life style; risk factors, including natural disasters, war and social reform. Thirdly, through examining its initial, additional, renewable and future values, and the impact factors for its evolutionary process, the proposed model was proven to be effective in re-assessing the heritage values of Wutai Mountain heritage.In summary, using a historical perspective, this thesis redefines key terminologies, proposes a general research framework for assessing the evolutionary values of natural and cultural heritage, and applies this model to the evaluation of Wutai Mountain’s heritage values. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the evaluation of heritage values and heritage protection both in research and in practice.
