The view that growth is the sole determinant of quality of life has been challenged so much that analysts now focus on the multidimensional character of well-being, its constitutive components and the methods used to assess it (for comparative or benchmarking purposes; at a single point in time or over time; based on quantitative and qualitative approaches). Against this background, local resources and amenities (locally specific features that enhance the attractiveness of a given location) are receiving particular attention. From a public policy perspective, their diversity (built or intangible heritage, natural or cultural resources, among others), their generally lasting and systematically local character and their often public use make them especially interesting. Elected officials can seize upon these concepts and adjust local action according to various objectives that range from making living together easier to promoting their district, for example. This book presents empirical evidence of both the diversity of local resources and the interrelated issues surrounding the concept of wellbeing. The chapters are based on diverse research settings and methods and have both empirical and theoretical perspectives. Moreover, the chapters pay particular attention to policy recommendations that will help public or collective action on these issues. Furthermore, findings are drawn from cases located in different regions of France, Britain, Germany and the United States of America, which brings an international","PeriodicalId":202004,"journal":{"name":"Local Resources, Territorial Development and Well-being","volume":"114 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113988852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Talandier","doi":"10.4337/9781789908619.00013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9781789908619.00013","url":null,"abstract":"The key issue addressed in this chapter is the capacity of outstanding heritage sites to serve as a local resource and to drive a territorial development dynamic. Indeed, territories that have remarkable heritage sites are both highly specific (due to the presence of that attraction) and subject to significant regulatory frameworks, including the mandatory protection of their sites. Ruault and Talandier use a mixed methodology approach: quantitative (socio-economic, fiscal and environmental variables to create typologies and evaluate site impacts) for all the sites, and qualitative (survey of local managers and field research) for targeted study sites. The results show that heritage sites can boost the local economy. However, this is not always the case: their positive impact on local jobs, attractiveness and income differs according to the local context. Indeed, a remarkable heritage site entails multiple development constraints but also has huge potential for leveraging cooperation and greater profits usable for site protection. Thus, the findings question the concept of a territorial resource: its mere presence does not ensure local development, and it is necessary to rethink its role as part of a more dynamic model to extend it to the medium to long term so as to accommodate successive interactions between the asset and development. Ultimately, the aim is to turn the territory into a resource for heritage sites and vice versa by striking a balance that benefits both.","PeriodicalId":202004,"journal":{"name":"Local Resources, Territorial Development and Well-being","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127369961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
