24equipment, records such as paintings andphotographs, and memories and opinionsof people who were involved in the industry(Translated into English based on an excerptfrom a Japanese report by Shuji Ohashi ‘On theEstablishment of the International Committeefor the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage(ICCIH) [ 産業遺産保存国際会議 (ICCIH)の結成について]’ in Industrial Archeology[ 産業考古学], vol. 10, 1979. p10.）2). At the2003 TICCIH general assembly held in NizhnyTagil in Russia, the Nizhny Tagil Charterfocusing on industrial heritage was adopted3).Although this document includes the phrase“industrial heritage consists of the remainsof industrial culture” which was taken fromearlier documents, subjects to be preservedhave become comprehensive and detaileddescriptions of “historical, technological, social,architectural or scientific value” have beenadded. Additionally, examples of “remnants ofindustrialized culture” are given; they include“buildings and machinery, workshops, millsand factories, mines and sites for processingand refining, warehouses and stores, placeswhere energy is generated, transmitted andused, transport and all its infrastructure.” Evenrelated properties that are “places used forsocial activities related to industry such ashousing, religious worship or education” havebeen included.　Eight years later in 2011, a joint documentbetween ICOMOS and TICCIH titledthe Dublin Principles was adopted4). In thisdocument, the idea of industrial heritagebecame even more comprehensive andthe principles have been organized into acollective set of rules. In addition to theconventional industrial heritage-related “sites,structures, complexes, cities and settlements,areas, landscapes” with related infrastructureto be included, limits regarding period ofconstruction has been removed to encompassthe contemporary era; relationship with thecultural and natural environments have cometo be considered; tangible significance andintangible characteristics as well as socialheritage and cultural heritage are to beconsidered as well.
