Rescue the hollowed-out area through industrial heritage tourism:Implications from the practice in Japan's Sorachi Industrial Area
Hollowing-out phenomena such as population loss and space idleness in traditional industrial cities are a worldwide issue.Based on literature analysis and field investigation,this paper summarizes the practical experience of Japan's largest industrial zone-Hokkaido Sorachi Industrial Area,which uses industrial heritage tourism to combat with the challenge of hollowing out:applying the theory of"attraction-feedback"to guide the development of heritage tourism and overall revitalization plan of the hollowed-out industrial zone;creating industrial heritage tourist attractions to enhance the attractiveness of hollowed industrial areas and promote economic recovery;organizing industrial heritage-themed art activities and various resettlement projects to slow down the trend of population hollowing in shrinking industrial areas;excavating and shaping industrial cultural characteristics to promote community and tourists'cultural identity to the hollowed industrial zone;inviting tourists to participate in the environmental transformation to promote the urban renewal of the hollowed industrial zone.This paper argued that,with the improvement of industrialization and the transformation of industrial technology,the number of hollow-out areas such as China's old industrial bases and resource-exhausted cities continues to increase.In this regard,it is necessary to gather multiple forces to speed up the identification of industrial heritage and the construction of the system,and scientifically formulate the renewal planning of hollowed industrial areas;determine the theme and development mode of industrial heritage tourism development according to local conditions,enhance the attractiveness of the holloweded industrial zone to promote economic recovery;pay attention to the excavation of local cultural characteristics,innovate industrial heritage tourism projects,and continuously strengthen the cultural identity and cohesion of the hollowed industrial zone,to promote the protection,renewal and utilization of the heritage in hollow-out industrial areas.
