Na wybranych działaniach grantowych i projektowych prowadzonych przez zespół naukowców z Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego oraz Muzeum Miasta Łodzi zarysowane zostaną możliwości płynące z dostępności architektonicznej, informacyjno-komunikacyjnej oraz cyfrowej, które stanowią przykłady dobrych praktyk w zakresie upowszechniania dóbr kultury. Zaprezentowane zostaną przedsięwzięcia związane z rewitalizacją i poprawą infrastruktury Muzeum Miasta Łodzi, niwelujące bariery architektoniczne i pozwalające na wprowadzenie nowej przestrzeni ekspozycyjnej z opracowanym do niej systemem informacyjno-komunikacyjny. Artykuł prezentuje zasadnicze koncepcje związane z projektem „Przyjazne miasto” (realizacja w latach 2021–2024), które poprzedzają doświadczenia nabyte przez pracowników UŁ w szeregu badań dotyczących sposobów wspierania osób z niepełnosprawnością wzroku prowadzonych od 2013 r. Niezwykle istotnym obszarem gromadzenia tych doświadczeń były działania podjęte w projekcie „Sztuka łódzka na tle sztuki europejskiej. Wykluczeni/Włączeni”. Rozliczne konsultacje z grupami osób z niepełnosprawnościami sensorycznymi oraz z kuratorami i edukatorami muzealnymi pozwoliły na wypracowanie dobrze odbieranej formy opisu audiodeskrypcyjnego. Opracowane narzędzia dydaktyczne takie jak tyflografiki, książki z pismem brajlowskim i powiększonym czarnodrukiem znacząco wpłynęły na wzrost kompetencji kluczowych odbiorców.","PeriodicalId":273645,"journal":{"name":"Protection of Cultural Heritage","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131729950","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}

An examination of all ICOMOS charters and recommendations makes clear the indispensable role of this organisation to disseminating best conservation, restoration and management practices during the last sixty years. It also demonstrates its persistence to never give up to the countless pressures that challenge heritage preservation around the world. Tourism is undoubtedly one of the most important and global of these pressures due to its considerable influence at all levels of cultural heritage management and decision-making. This paper analyses the early, pioneer and crucial role of ICOMOS to promote responsible tourism through an evaluation of its international cultural tourism charters from 1976, when the first was adopted, until 2021, when the Advisory Council of the organisation has approved the ICOMOS Draft International Charter for Cultural Heritage Tourism (2021): Reinforcing cultural heritage protection and community resilience through responsible and sustainable tourism management for its adoption at the ICOMOS General Assembly in 2022. The long process for drafting and approving this Charter and its new conceptual approaches show the emerging trends affecting cultural heritage globally and allow reflecting more broadly about the future of standard setting texts on this subject.","PeriodicalId":273645,"journal":{"name":"Protection of Cultural Heritage","volume":"66 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132773803","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}

The first is a consideration of two separate guidance documents, from Historic England and from the Church of England respectively; each document is outlined, offering points of comparison with guidance in other jurisdictions. One consistent theme in these documents is the positive framing of accessibility as of benefit not only for those with disabilities, but also for all users and potentially for the heritage itself. \u0000The second aspect of the paper comprises three case study projects from my own practice, spread across a range of building types, ages, and grades of protection, which together demonstrate by example some of what is currently considered possible in England, and illustrate how practice relates to policy and guidance. The paper ends by briefly reflecting on what light accessibility policy might shed on some broader questions of heritage concern.","PeriodicalId":273645,"journal":{"name":"Protection of Cultural Heritage","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123348441","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}

The paper stresses the knowledge of audiences to include all of them and overcome the \"dedicated\" mediation tools and activities, aiming at (re)conquering disaffected and unused publics, and identifies some misunderstandings (\"cultural accessibility\" and \"person with difficulties\"). \u0000Constraints and opportunities in access to cultural content and communication are underlined: Authenticity and interpretation (message and messages, mistakenly considered as elaborations of the same content adapted to the target); interpretation as a hermeneutic circle involving different combinations of sender-receiver-context; Importance of the spatial context of communication as the first interpretative/mediation element; Process of accessibility to cultural contents (importance of the physical, social and economic context; role of cognitive processes; importance of the individual's cultural background; emotional involvement; references to recent neurophysiological research led by the authors). \u0000Authors intend Cultural accessibility as a self-appropriation process, both intellectual and emotional: exquisitely individual but closely interconnected with relations processes. Cultural appropriation intended in this way has nothing to do with a process of a political and social claim but, rather, it should be the ultimate goal of any action related to heritage communication. \u0000Finally, the paper highlights possible perspectives that require: dedicated professional paths; updated composition of the staff (the figure of architects-museographers as a permanent presence, since communication cannot be separated from the space in which it takes place); new good practices.","PeriodicalId":273645,"journal":{"name":"Protection of Cultural Heritage","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132875206","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}

This initiative is part of a broader project, the Interreg Italy-Switzerland 'Main10ance', which aims to develop a sustainable conservation program for the UNESCO Sacro Montes. Communication was carried out on several levels, based on the interest of visitors, through the following avenues:1 - explanatory panels near Chapel 1;2 – explanatory tours with conservators and other professionals;3 – creation of website with information, insights and news dedicated to the work in progress.To create a more effective and engaging communication, information relating to visitors was collected. The public was grouped according to different characteristics in three public targets: Children; Adult; and Blind people. For each, a reference guidelines and a specific narrative was developed:• to involve children it was decided to use games;• to address adults, it was decided to focus the discussion on the frequently asked questions posed by visitors;• to bring the blind public closer, an evocative visit was proposed. Mock-ups were prepared to give the possibility to touch them, in order to make people understand the difference between surface in good condition and in degraded state.","PeriodicalId":273645,"journal":{"name":"Protection of Cultural Heritage","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124874728","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}

Through an excursus of the evolving concept of diversity and how design can provide an enabling or disabling built environment, this paper aims at setting the cognitive framework to address the issue of broader fruition in museum spaces. Particularly, the focus of this contribution is on the European context, its historical cities and cultural heritage. Therefore, the needs of inclusion must be balanced with those of conservation, adding an extra layer of complexity.
