Application of Value Assessment Weights in Conservation of Modern Architectural Heritage

Abstract

This study presents the weights of various indicators in the integrated conservation of our modern architectural heritage. In the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), the Delphi method and Entropy method are integrally adopted to set up the evaluation indicator system of the conservation efforts, and the weight coefficient of evaluation indicators. Through the analysis, we can find that 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, and the real estate value is the last one. Among the second-level indicators, representative architectural art is the most important factor. Consequently, the emphases should be placed on the artistic and historical values of modern architectural heritages.
