For decades, attempts have been made to find a pragmatic definition for a changing setting where values, evolve or disappear in step with the changing ways and styles of life of each society. Heritage and landscape have inherent values such as identity, culture, authenticity, or integrity, that is to say, landscape character. Current heritagization processes that lead to an understanding of the palimpsest of landscape and heritage layers need to be participatory and inclusive as their importance and sustainability depend on this. This article shows how the early stages of a heritagization process unfold in a small region of the western Mediterranean, Penyagolosa (Castellón). The current problems of the region – depopulation, abandonment, and loss of culture and identity – are assessed in search of an understanding and appreciation of a heritage landscape. The research uses techniques such as photo elicitation in workshops, GIS analysis, and evaluates the different options to characterize the landscape offered by different researchers. The analysis explains the different phases of the research to establish the basis of the heritagization of this setting. The study also established a parallel perspective for valorization between researchers and local population – objective and subjective visions – thus encouraging the interest of the social majority linked to the landscape.","PeriodicalId":44088,"journal":{"name":"Heritage and Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"189 - 210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2159032X.2019.1670533","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43007310","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 findings based on observation of 34 buildings indicate that the majority are in a relatively poor state. Ethnographic inquiry with 22 residents indicates that this situation is due to not only a limited awareness of conservation issues and responsibilities, but also socio-psychological and relational challenges such as a limited sense of heritage ownership, the lack of interest and motivation to conserve, neglect by owners and occupants and lack of trust in the conservation authorities; and socio-economic challenges such as limited economic benefits and scarcity of resources. Residents also perceive that there is weak enforcement of antiquities legislation, limited assistance from the antiquities’ agencies and that they are not involved in the decision-making process. Unlike past research that engaged in the authoritative discourse to explain the challenges of conserving heritage, this study has engaged in the under-researched resident discourse. It thus broadens our understanding of the challenges and further enlightens experts on the significance of considering residents’ perspectives when designing and implementing conservation strategies. It also makes broad locally-based practical recommendations to cultural heritage management in Kilwa Kivinje and related sites in order to rectify the situation of poor state of conservation.","PeriodicalId":44088,"journal":{"name":"Heritage and Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"249 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2159032X.2019.1703094","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47980977","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 application of governance mechanisms and their effect on the optimization of visitorship in the heritage tourism industry has been understudied. Although there are four models of management in museums, the needs of heritage sites invite an analysis of them, particularly in the consideration of the role of the stakeholders in shaping the product offered. Four case studies in Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) examine how the application of local governance mechanisms affects museums and interpretation centers to optimize the goals of the tourism product. For this analysis, a qualitative analysis has been carried out through direct observation and interviews, analyzing the results with CAQDAS. The study found that strategic planning linked to the territory and public-private partnerships could increase effectiveness and efficiency in the allocation of public resources, and that the application of certain governance strategies could increase the impact of stakeholder involvement in the efficacy of the site management. Future study needs are established for other institutions that manage cultural heritage.","PeriodicalId":44088,"journal":{"name":"Heritage and Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"229 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2159032X.2019.1693862","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42127129","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}

Chosen by Jean Nouvel as an inspiration of his design for the new National Museum of Qatar which opened for the public in March 28 2019, the building, which encircles the first National Museum of the country, is intended to be both a monument and a metaphor: a huge sculpture that will pay tribute and encourage emotive associations of contemporary Qatar with values such as rarity, fragility, beauty, timelessness. At the same time, the same symbol is used by the tourist industry, with desert roses being introduced into Qatari Museums shops, where visitors are invited to purchase desert roses to “pay tribute to this nature's marvel,” but also to participate to the creation of a new heritage symbol, that connects the land with its people, the past with the present.

In the age of rapid economic development and social change, how to safeguard the historic identity and memories embedded in urban districts while encouraging economic growth has been a perennial problem concerning late-developing countries like China. The contested notion of authenticity lies at the heart of the debate between urban historic preservation and economic growth, as this fluid term merits a myriad of interpretations and contemporary re-workings. This study combines theoretical examinations, field research and interviews to reveal the inner logic behind Chinese cities' current practice of transforming urban historic districts into iconic tourist destinations. It probes how authenticity is understood differently by local residents and urban planners by using the example of the famous transformation project of the Kuan and Zhai Alleys (Kuanzhai xiangzi) in Chengdu. This study reveals the intrinsic tensions between urban cultural preservation and economic growth in China and how the \"growth coalition\" (Zhang, Jingxiang, and Fulong Wu. 2008. “Mega-event Marketing and Urban Growth Coalitions—A Case Study of Nanjing Olympic New Town.” The Town Planning Review 79 (2–3): 209–226.) formed by local governments and developers impose elite ideals of \"authenticity\" on urban historic districts. In response, the author proposes a historically aware and community-focused approach in preserving urban historic heritage and safeguarding cultural memories in late-developing countries like China.","PeriodicalId":44088,"journal":{"name":"Heritage and Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"104 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2159032X.2019.1587968","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44579446","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}
