{"title":"Contested heritage","authors":"K. Kaczmarska","doi":"10.4324/9780429197345-4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429197345-4","url":null,"abstract":"Neo liberalism emphasises the role of the market in allocating resources and making financial decisions. When neo liberalism is applied in a real estate context then land use is market driven by an optimisation decision making process. This process allocates land use according to the doctrine of \"Highest and Best Use\" in compliance with neoliberal and rational choice theories. In a socialist market economy such as New Zealand, society seeks to moderate this process by using legislation to constrain highest and best use in order to achieve societal objectives such as heritage preservation. These regulatory constraints are often strongly contested as they can have a negative financial impact on the private property owner seeking to either significantly alter or demolish their heritage building. The ‘contest’ is usually in the form of litigation aimed at reconciling the conflict between private owners and heritage advocates. This litigation is often acrimonious and expensive as each party seeks to optimise their competing objectives of profit maximisation and heritage conservation. This situation has been complicated and exacerbated by the recent passing of mandatory seismic safety laws. These laws have added a third objective in the form of building safety which must also be reconciled with heritage preservation and profit maximisation. Herbert Simon developed the decision-making theory of satisficing as an alternative to the optimising approach of rational choice theory. Decision makers that apply satisficing theory seek to set satisfactory aspiration levels that suffice to achieve their goals when choosing from different alternatives. He also referred to this theory as bounded rationality. In this paper the contest between private property rights, heritage and safety is examined in three case studies where the owner has sought to demolish an earthquake-prone heritage building. The decision-making theory of satisficing is also examined and its application is considered as a way to achieve better decisions regarding the preservation of earthquake-prone heritage buildings.","PeriodicalId":307895,"journal":{"name":"Making Global Knowledge in Local Contexts","volume":"30 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141215863","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}
