Abstract
ABSTRACT To the Penang people, Sia Boey is a place of many memories and cultural significance, it is also part of KOMTAR development project that symbolizes modernization and urbanization. This article elaborates the historical background, controversies, potential, and challenges at Sia Boey, and the approaches taken in safeguarding Sia Boey’s cultural heritage. We present George Town World Heritage Incorporated’s Integrated Site Management Plan, which aims to ensure the coexistence of development and heritage conservation. We also emphasize the role of the Sia Boey Contemporary Archaeology Project, within this management plan as part of our continuous efforts to empower and engage the former Sia Boey community.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage is a new journal intended for participants, volunteers, practitioners, and academics involved in the many projects and practices broadly defined as ‘community archaeology’. This is intended to include the excavation, management, stewardship or presentation of archaeological and heritage resources that include major elements of community participation, collaboration, or outreach. The journal recognises the growing interest in voluntary activism in archaeological research and interpretation, and seeks to create a platform for discussion about the efficacy and importance of such work as well as a showcase for the dissemination of community archaeology projects (which might offer models of best practice for others). By inviting papers relating to theory and practice from across the world, the journal seeks to demonstrate both the diversity of community archaeology and its commonalities in process and associated theory. We seek contributions from members of the voluntary sector as well as those involved in archaeological practice and academia.
