ABSTRACT: This study explores the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage within the context of sustainable urban regeneration. Using the Dublin Principles established by ICOMOS and TICCIH as a theoretical framework, the research evaluates three representative cases: the Hirosaki Brick Art Museum in Hirosaki, the Shiroi Koibito Park in Sapporo and Xiaohe Park in Hangzhou. Through a literature review, case analysis, and field investigation, each site was examined across four key dimensions: comprehensive documentation, legal and institutional protection, adaptive reuse and reversibility and local communication and public engagement.
