A sequential mixed method was adopted for this study. Focus groups were conducted with 15 participants using a semi-structured interview guide. The researcher also administered a survey of 100 questionnaires. Content analysis and spss were used to analyse the data. The key finding is that community engagement initiatives of heis could play an important role in socio-economic development. However, it is essential to involve different stakeholders in order to effectively identify socioeconomic opportunities aimed at addressing the primary needs of the communities. Stakeholders’ involvement in decision-making processes about community development projects is vital because imposing development upon communities could result in disputes and withdrawal of community support. In the Mapungubwe area, heis, through community education, engagement and involvement in socio-economic development projects from an initial stage could contribute towards achieving sustainable socio-economicopportunities and in this way accelerate the implementation of sdgs. This study highlights the value of community engagement projects as potential drivers of a holistic approach to cht and the drive towards more sustainable management of cultural heritage sites.","PeriodicalId":37187,"journal":{"name":"Academica Turistica","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84129946","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}
