Progress in the Research of Urban Historic Built Environment Evaluation in China

Abstract

In this paper, a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis methods was adopted to discuss the research progress, because it is particularly important to study and evaluate urban historic built environment with the deepening of urban renewal in China. Firstly, the bibliometric analysis was carried out to describe the current situation of the number of articles published each year, authors and research institutions, etc., and then the research hotspots were revealed, the subject contents were summarized, and the evolution law was sorted out, so as to provide a reference for building a scientific evaluation system. On this basis, the key areas for future research were proposed from the aspects of theoretical research, method research and practical research. The results show that in the future, an integrated research system should be built, and multi-disciplinary integration, multi-institutional communication, horizontal and vertical comparative studies on the evaluation of historic built environment, comparative studies of different evaluation subjects and analysis of the action mechanism after evaluation should be strengthened, so as to put forward practical and effective suggestions on the environmental protection of historic built cities in China.
