Full textAbstract:
Doutoramento em TurismoWith this work we propose to analyze the perception of the concept of quality by managers of museums and archaeological sites. To this end, we chose to analyze some heritage areas open to the public and certified by HERITY - World Organisation for the Certification of Quality Management of Cultural Heritage, the only international certification of this kind which has been officially recognized by UNESCO and the World Tourism Organization. The application of the principles of quality and Total Quality Management to cultural heritage management is part of the efforts towards a continuous improvement of the cultural tourism offer and - in our opinion – towards an increasing capacity to promote intercultural dialogue between local population and visitors. In this context, we have therefore investigated the perception of quality within the context of cultural heritage management, and how the culture of quality can provide a greater involvement of local communities, contributing to the strengthening of authenticity and destination personality, as well as the promotion of intercultural dialogue between tourists and residents. To answer these questions, we have defined a theoretical model and subsequently carried out an empirical work at European level on the perception of quality by managers of cultural heritage sites, namely archaeological heritage. An in-depth comprehension of areas such as Archeology, Tourism and Quality Management, as well as its role within the broader context of sustainable regional development, are the basis of this work. The latter is intended, in turn, to be a vehicle of reflection within the creation of public policies on territorial management and tourism development. We thus undertook a research line which is still almost unexplored, that is, the analysis of quality principles within the cultural heritage management, their potential and the measurement of their actual impact on the territory, through an integrated approach, by considering in a specular, complex way the two main beneficiaries: residents and tourists.
Com o presente trabalho nos propomos de analisar a perceção do conceito de qualidade por parte dos gestores dos museus e sítios arqueológicos. Para tal, escolhemos analisar algumas áreas patrimoniais abertas ao publico e certificadas por HERITY - World Organisation for the Certification of Quality Management of Cultural Heritage, única certificação internacional deste género e cuja importância já foi oficialmente reconhecida pela UNESCO e pela Organização Mundial do Turismo. A aplicação dos princípios da qualidade e do Total Quality Management à gestão do património cultural se insere nos esforços para uma melhoria contínua da oferta cultural e turística e – no nosso entender – no aumento da capacidade de promover o diálogo intercultural entre população residente e visitantes. Nos questionamos portanto sobre a percepção do significado de Qualidade no âmbito da gestão do património cultural, e de que forma a cultura da qualidade pode proporcionar um maior envolvimento das comunidades locais, contribuindo assim para o reforço da autenticidade e do caracter do destino, bem como do diálogo intercultural entre turistas e residentes. Para responder a estas perguntas, procuramos definir um modelo teórico que, a seguir, confrontamos com os resultados de um trabalho empírico de âmbito europeu sobre a perceção da qualidade por parte dos gestores do património cultural, nomeadamente arqueológico. O estudo aprofundado do que é a Arqueologia, o Turismo e a Qualidade e a reflexão do papel destes três domínios no âmbito mais abrangente do desenvolvimento territorial sustentável representam a base deste trabalho, que se propõe por sua vez de ser um veículo de reflexão no âmbito da criação das políticas públicas de gestão do território e de desenvolvimento turístico. Empreendemos assim uma linha de investigação ainda pouco explorada, dedicada à analise dos princípios da qualidade no âmbito da gestão do património, às suas potencialidades e à medição dos seus efetivos impactos no território, através de uma abordagem integrada e considerando duma forma não convencional, mas sim especular e complexa os dois principais beneficiários: população residente e turistas.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate heritage brands represent a valuable source of insight into brand longevity. The complexity and omnitemporality of these entities present a unique set of managerial challenges. Therefore corporate heritage brands require a specific brand management approach. However, corporate heritage brands and their management are surprisingly under-researched. Moreover, in a corporate branding context the practices that protect and renew corporate brand heritage are unclear. However, the work of a few pioneering academics has been a source of inspiration and a theoretical foundation for this research. These studies include but are not limited to Urde et al (2007), Balmer (2011a, 2011b, 2013), Hakala et al (2011) and Hudson (2011).
The context of this research is corporate heritage brands and its positioning is corporate heritage brand management. The research was comprised of two discrete studies. The aim of Study 1 was to examine how luxury organisations manage corporate heritage to recover and enhance the corporate heritage brand. Study 1 presents a longitudinal, retrospective study of two corporate heritage brands, Tiffany & Co. and Burberry that experience structural corporate heritage brand decline followed by recovery. The analyses of the cases identified turning points that delineated three periods, specifically the foundational years; an interval of crisis; and subsequent ascendance. Three brand constructs are significant, they underpin the rise, fall and rise of Tiffany and Burberry; brand vision, brand values and core competencies. The study demonstrates how long-established corporate heritage brands can overcome structural brand crisis, by restoring corporate heritage.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability is one of the key challenges facing society in the twenty-first century. The adoption of sustainable practices in the heritage sector resonates with its long-established objectives to conserve and enhance the historic environment, although its implementation can also present significant dilemmas for the commodification, integrity, authenticity, accessibility and viability of these resources, particularly where sites are tourist attractions. The aim of this thesis was to investigate progress in the adoption of sustainable practices in heritage properties and sites in Devon and Cornwall. The findings were based on the compilation of an inventory of selected heritage resources; an extensive questionnaire survey of managers of historic houses and castles, historic churches, and museums and archives (416 responses), which investigated the extent of, and opinions about, sustainable management approaches; and semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with eight heritage managers, which probed key issues in much greater depth. The results of the research demonstrated some similarities with the adoption of sustainable practices in other sectors, such as the practical issues associated with costs and lack of knowledge. There were also some heritage-specific issues, such as perceived conflicts with protection duties, the consequences of being largely dependent upon volunteer staffing, and the institutional role of larger parent organisations, which have been overlooked in previous research. Most significantly, the results indicated that very few heritage sites produced sufficient surpluses to facilitate investment in sustainable practices that might ultimately enhance their financial viability and fund enhanced conservation activities. Future strategies for the sector as whole must therefore not only deal with capacity-building, such as access to information and training on sector-specific sustainable management, but also address the institutional factors governing heritage in the UK, such as strategic leadership, the most effective models for governance and funding mechanisms for sustainability, and the creation of local and regional heritage networks.

Heale, Daniel. "Egypt's hidden heritage : cultural heritage management and the archaeology of the Coptic Church." Thesis, University of Winchester, 2016. http://repository.winchester.ac.uk/1236/.
Full textAbstract:
The Christian cultural heritage of north Africa is ancient and rich, but at risk after recent political events. Many Christian minority communities living in Islamic environments feel at risk of persecution. This is a topical and timely PhD. The Christian, Coptic heritage of Egypt remains poorly studied from the perspective of heritage management and is also at risk from a number of factors. Using first-hand study and analysis based upon original fieldwork, the thesis offers a state of the art assessment to risks facing Coptic monuments in Egypt today. It does this by situating Egyptian heritage policy within the English framework, and it establishes theoretical approaches to value, significance, meaning, and interpretation in Egyptian heritage within a wider global framework. It is based on the analysis of three markedly different Egyptian Christian Coptic sites, each with their own unique management issues and it offers a series of solutions and ideas to preserve, manage and interpret this unique material culture and to emphasise community solutions as being the most viable and sustainable approaches, whilst taking into account the varied levels of significance of these monuments.

Ayalew, Kidanemariam. "Heritage management on the ground heritage conservation versus local community in Lalibela (Ethiopia)?" Master's thesis, Universidade de Évora, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10174/21119.
Full textAbstract:
Through the case study of Lalibela (Ethiopia) and with a long time perspective, this master thesis aims at questioning heritage management and the mismatches induced by the encounters of several scales of actors and powers. In the first chapter I trace how Lalibela’s churches became internationally known. None of the early Lalibela’s foreign discoverers intended to achieve a heritage study but they directly contributed to build up the internationalization of Lalibela. I also demonstrate that Lalibela occupies a very special place in Ethiopia, being a historical place of pilgrimage for ordinary Christians but also for numerous kings and governors. In the second chapter I mainly focus on the monuments. I argue about the techniques of restoration used on these monuments. Before the onslaught of modern conservation techniques, the community used to conserve the churches with their own masons and artisans’ skills. These kinds of conservation practices are nowadays idealized in the elders’ memories. The churches’ structural fragility combined to their internationalization attracted several and international actors. Most of the times kept out of the recent conservation program, the local community systematically criticizes any intervention on the monuments. Here, the controversy seems to revolve around a lack of intermediate body between the heritage institutional actors and the local community. In the last chapter, I addressed the question of the modern management of the site. Lalibela has become a political and economic tool for the country, especially through tourism. This shift has pitted heritage valorization and local community against each other, as the Ethiopian Sustainable Tourism Development Project shows. The local community is endengandered by such programs, which often question the necessity of moving people far away from the churches. Not only conservation and valorization programs bring some kind of disregard towards local people’s, but they also disseminate the perception that the very existence of the local people is a threat to their own heritage – the churches in the case of Lalibela; Résumé : À travers l’étude de cas de Lalibela (Éthiopie) et dans une perspective historique, ce mémoire ambitionne de questionner la gestion du patrimoine culturel et les problèmes induits par divers jeux d’acteurs et de pouvoir. Dans le premier chapitre, je reviens sur les étapes de l’internationalisation des églises de Lalibela. Aucun des premiers visiteurs de Lalibela n’ambitionnait de produire une étude scientifique mais ils ont en revanche tous contribué à faire connaître Lalibela. Je montre aussi que Lalibela occupe une place très particulière en Éthiopie, à la fois en tant que haut-lieu de pèlerinage pour tous les Chrétiens mais aussi pour de nombreux rois et gouverneurs. Dans le deuxième chapitre, je me concentre principalement sur les monuments. Avant l’arrivée des techniques de conservation dites modernes, les populations locales restauraient les églises grâce aux compétences de leurs maçons et artisans. Ces pratiques sont aujourd’hui idéalisées dans les mémoires des anciens. La fragilité structurelle des églises combinée à leur internationalisation précoce a attiré de nombreux acteurs nationaux et internationaux du patrimoine. Généralement tenus à l’écart des récents programmes de conservation, la communauté locale critique systématiquement ces interventions sur les monuments. Le problème semble se nouer autour d’un manque d’acteurs intermédiaires entre les acteurs institutionnels du patrimoine et la communauté locale. Dans le dernier chapitre, je questionne la gestion contemporaine du site. Lalibela est devenue un outil politique et économique pour le pays, tout particulièrement à travers le tourisme. Valorisation patrimoniale et habitants sont désormais incompatibles, comme le montre l’ Ethiopian Sustainable Tourism Development Project. Les habitants sont fragilisés par de tels programmes qui établissent la nécessité d’éloigner les populations des églises. Les programmes de conservation et de valorisation n’apportent pas seulement un certain mépris envers les populations locales, mais ils répandent aussi l’idée que l’existence même de ces populations est une menace pour leur propre patrimoine, les églises dans le cas de Lalibela.

Manetsi, Thabo. "State-prioritised heritage: governmentality, heritage management and the prioritisation of the liberation heritage in post-colonial South Africa." Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/27334.
Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to examine and trace the notion of state prioritisation of heritage in relation to state intervention through political, policy and governance regimes in heritage management in South Africa. The study covers key highlights in the evolution of heritage management and developments through specific epochs and contexts such as the colonial, apartheid and post-colonial South Africa. Drawing on theories such as 'governmentality' and 'authorised heritage discourse' the study provides a perspective on the extent of state influence and dominance in the formalisation of heritage management through policy, legal instruments and governance processes. Using the National Liberation Heritage Route project in South Africa as a case study, the research illustrates the notion of state prioritisation of heritage in relation to the deployment and mobilisation of state resources (policy, legal instruments and material resources) in heritage management to support a select past as 'official' heritage of the nation state. The politics of transforming the heritage landscape in post-1994 South Africa witnessed the emergence of the idea of state prioritisation of the liberation heritage as a site for restorative justice particularly to honour and recognize the legacy of the political struggles for freedom against colonialism and apartheid. Conversely, the framing of the liberation heritage also demonstrates political uses of heritage at expedient moments to achieve political goals by the regime in power and state control. While normative approaches to heritage management tend to emphasise the disjuncture between colonial and post-colonial periods, the results of this study confirm strong ties to colonial and European influences across these categories. The findings outline the complexity of state intervention and its inherent biases that inform the governance of heritage. In this light the study contributes to ongoing research on the discourse of evaluating the global, local, and transnational dimensions of heritage management and practices, in relation to the problematics of heritage as mainly a product of state authority and political power.

Full textAbstract:
The sustainability of cultural heritage management of the resources is strongly related to support from local community via participation. It is evident that active community involvement can improve local residents’ quality of life based on better environment, social and economic conditions. However, there is little research into the question of whether the involvement of local community in heritage management derives from a genuine interest and desires to protect and conserve their local heritage assets. In the case of Malaysia, a truly local community collaborative approach is often limited due to the ways in which the community in question is conceptualised and involved in the process. In other words, local community involvement is extremely rare because they have been neglected especially in the decision making process. This has created a negative relationship between local community and government authorities in resource conservation. Therefore, it is pivotal to investigate the influence of the local community attachment towards heritage, in order to understand the local community involvement in heritage management. The attitudes and perceptions of three groups of respondents were examined by using the concept of heritage trail development, as an illustrative example to triangulate the relationship between local community involvement, government administrative structures and tourists’ experiences. The results revealed that, despite the fact the local community is highly attached to the heritage assets; the level of community involvement in cultural heritage management in Malaysia is low due to operational, structures and cultural limitation to engage the local community in both management and tourism development in the Melaka World Heritage Site. This is to say that the participation approach in Malaysia is highly controlled by the centralised government structure. The research recommends that the authorities consider implementing two major improvements in order to develop and maintain a system of sustainable cultural heritage management: Firstly, to overcome the limitations of community participation in the decision making process. Secondly, to consider the community attachment towards cultural heritage elements, before developing tourist attractions in heritage settings, in terms of residents’ emotional and functional attachments.

Full textAbstract:
The current research project focuses on the analysis of the critical issues of industrial heritage management in Italy and the preservation of organizational history within the reuse projects of former industrial sites.
The organizational and managerial perspective is crucial on two levels. Firstly, it is important in the analysis of the original significance of the site, and in particular its organizational history, and its conservation within the new regeneration strategy. Secondly, it is crucial at the phase of management of reuse projects and its feasibility and sustainability analysis.
Based on the analysis of the literature, a unique classification of the reuse strategies that can be implemented in order to regenerate former industrial sites has been formulated. The exploratory research thus adapts a multiple case study design. Eight Italian case studies have been chosen, one for each type of regeneration strategy.
Each case study is explored as a stand-alone entity through the analysis of the local differences and idiosyncrasies of the specific context, the factors that stood behind the choice of the reuse strategy and the way the reuse project evolved through the years. Then, the current management of each reuse project is analysed. The narration and musealization of the organizational history is investigated through the spatial dimension, the level of content and the level of expression.
Secondly, the case studies are compared through a cross-case analysis from three different perspectives: issues on the phase of preparation and implementation of the reuse projects, critical issues behind the current management of new projects and issues on the ways of preservation and narration of organizational history within the new project.
The research shows that all regeneration strategies are affected by the conflict between preservation and change, by the issue of materiality and selectivity.

Ho deciso di iniziare la mia ricerca sulla governance dei siti del patrimonio mondiale con il tutor dell'Università Ca 'Foscari, prof. Fabrizio Panozzo, e co-tutorato dall'arch. Katia Basili, coordinatrice di "Venezia e la sua laguna".
L'obiettivo è analizzare le principali difficoltà per comprendere la differenza tra gestione e governance e il suo utilizzo nel contesto dei siti del patrimonio mondiale, con il fine di migliorare il suo significato e la sua presenza nel piano di gestione. Quindi, per raggiungere questo obiettivo, la ricerca parte dalla necessità di una migliore comprensione della terminologia della governance; è stato ricercato il termine all’interno della letteratura accademica e dei documenti UNESCO (Politiche, Linee guida, Manuali, in particolare nel Piano di gestione); ed è stato distribuito un sondaggio a diversi siti europei per comprendere meglio la tutela del Patrimonio Mondiale. Questa nuova consapevolezza ha portato a una migliore comprensione della governance.
Le nuove scoperte sono state utili per comprendere un possibile e futuro sviluppo del Piano di gestione per il Sito di "Venezia e la sua Laguna

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research is the consideration of the cultural heritage policies of European institutions (the European Union and the Council of Europe) and the impact of such policies on the national heritage policy of two member States (Greece and Italy). The analysis focuses mainly on the national and supra-national heritage legislation. The EU by means of policies and laws has gradually emerged as an important factor in the field of national heritage management. The impact of the EU in the fields of heritage terminology and legislation is a fact. New concepts concerning things 'national' are being directly 'imported' from the EU to its member States. The use of heritage in the political arena has a long history in nation States, with regard to issues of identity. By taking this one step further, the EU aims to construct a 'European' identity which will eventually replace the different 'national' ones. A historical narrative proves the logic behind EU action. The cultural heritage has been used by the EU throughout the years for a variety of political and economic purposes. The amendment of national laws and the introduction of EU concepts into national heritage law are results of an imposed change, not of legal evolution. The comparison of the two EU member States emphasises the complexity of issues involved in both the national and supra¬ national level. The conclusions aspire to arouse awareness of the powers that EU enjoys over national heritage legislation. The thesis also endeavours to highlight the power of law to create and construct public attitude towards the heritage, enhancing or denying claims for identity. It assesses the political will behind legal acts and policies with regard to the heritage. It addresses the attempt made by European institutions to create 'uniformity' in both laws and concepts related to heritage in a Europe of diverse heritages.

Full textAbstract:
The effective strategic management of heritage tourism is vital to the economic, environmental and social health of a region. This is even more pronounced in heritage based regions where the resource is ultimately finite and where development cannot be separated from its local residents, communities and businesses. Given this scenario, the effective marketing of heritage tourism must take both a strategic approach and be underpinned by effective stakeholder engagement, which includes processes of coordination and integration in order to achieve a holistic approach to marketing management. The research sought to establish the nature and scope of stakeholders involved in strategic marketing planning within heritage regions, to investigate the coordination and management of strategic marketing functions, and to examine the process of strategic implementation. The empirical study took a qualitative approach guided by the case study methodology, which used a range of data collection techniques including content analysis and in-depth interviews. A range of data sources reflecting the structure of the tourism industry were used, including key strategic documents, public sector key informants and tourist product service providers operating in both the private and community sectors, representing the regions. Key contributions made by the research relate to the identification of four key issues including Strategic Direction, Marketing Communications, Consultation and Aggravated Fragmentation. Overall, it was found that there is no central strategic direction for tourism management, with the result that tourism delivery is unclearly and ambiguously assigned between myriad bodies and agencies. At strategic level, marketing communications between such bodies is endemically poor, resulting in a disintegrated approach to tourism marketing management. The implications of these weaknesses are evident across several strategic marketing functions, including Strategic Orientation, Resource Allocation, Product Service Development and Destination Promotion, and are significant across the levels of management and administration for tourism, from government level planning to individual tourism providers.

Full textAbstract:
The major focus of this essay is the case study of the Voortrekker Monument Heritage Site in Pretoria, the introduction of a new management team in 1994 and the suggested manner in which the management could be improved. To place this particular case study in perspective, it was necessary in the first place, to look at the meaning of cultural resource- or heritage management and other related terms. It soon became apparent that no single term for this new discipline has been determined and that countries around the world differ greatly on this issue. South Africa uses the term Heritage Resource Management. An overview of cultural resources management (CRM) in other countries such as the U.S.A., Great Britain and some members of the Commonwealth, was also presented. Cultural resource management is a relatively new discipline in South Africa, and an historical overview, in which most of the relevant legislation was referred to, was undertaken. In comparison to other countries in the world, much less publications have been produced in South Africa. Most of these had been completed as dissertations or as papers for conferences. A detailed summary of all the relevant (directly or indirectly) legislation was compiled. In the last chapter, a case study of the Voortrekker Monument was undertaken. An attempt was made to provide adequate answers to the questions why?, how?, and who? should manage a heritage site. Answers to the question as to why a site should be managed, include the establishing of a cultural identity, the site's educational value, for research purposes and finally for its important role in the tourism industry. In the section on how to manage a site, aspects such as the identification and cultural significance of a site were discussed. The importance of a mission and a vision and key strategies, as well as policies were stressed. Resource management on the site includes conservation techniques, sustainable use and visitor management as well as heritage impact assessment. The site's financial management and the site's marketing were addressed in the last section. A heritage site must be managed by 'someone' and in the last section the 'who' (human resources) behind the management of the site, is discussed. Finally the hope is expressed that this dissertation will serve as a basis for a conservation management plan for the VTMHS and serve as a manual for other, similar heritage sites.Dissertation (MA (Heritage and Museum Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2006.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at selected issues related to the management of archaeological heritage in Europe. It focuses on the theory, principles and standards of the archaeological conservation and the protection of the historic environment laid out in a number of international treaties and policies supported by the work of UNESCO, ICOMOS, Council of Europe and the European Union and seeks to demonstrate the complexities of their practical implementation on a national and regional level. Attention is given to the role of the archaeological heritage and the historic environment as sources of collective narratives: the thesis explores the consequences of the institutionalisation of preconceptions about the past and cultural values and the use of the archaeology and heritage administration as instruments of creating and controlling visions of the past and future. These problems are discussed in the context of modem socio-political issues, such as the process of the European integration and globalisation, the quest for a 'common European heritage1 and the values and consequent tension between local, national and 'European' identity. Finally, this dissertation explores the relationship between the protection of the archaeological (cultural) heritage and the natural environment and the growing dependence of the heritage sector on the EU environmental legislation and policies. A critical approach is based on the dual nature of the archaeological heritage: as a universal (trans-national) concept governed by international principles and the material remains located within nation states subjected to diverse domestic laws. The study concentrates on the analysis of the empirical material drawn from the European Union including the UK, the Republic of Ireland, France, Italy, Germany (old member countries) as well as Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and the Balkans (new members).

Full textAbstract:
This study presents an analysis of human encounter with place. It examines the personal and cultural importance of an attachment to place, focusing on the reciprocal relationship between cultural heritage and a sense of place. Place is constructed out of mutual meanings between people and their environment. The study begins with an indepth look at the theory of place. In a series of heritage management case studies, the theory is applied in order to illustrate how meanings of place may be expressed. Place as a normative concept provides a role for resource managers in finding the meanings people associate with places, and in nurturing and enhancing these meanings. This involves the recognition of different values and 'stories' that are associated with place. Recognising these differences helps shift resource management away from the simplicity of grand narratives and totalizing discourses, towards a respect for intangible and multiple meanings in place. To a certain extent an understanding of place is already informing both natural and cultural management decisions in New Zealand, although this may not be explicitly recognised. To approach cultural heritage management from the perspective of place, however, challenges the current directions that heritage management is taking in this country. The study proposes a way of taking up that challenge, and concludes that the importance of place should not be overlooked.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between academic discourse and visitor experience at World Heritage Sites, investigating whether it is possible to put ‘’authenticity based on sound research’’ at the heart of the visitor experience (ICOMOS 2011), whilst still “preserving and promoting the spirit of place” (ICOMOS 2008). Using an original methodology inspired by phenomenography and ethnography, three case studies were used to look at the collective experiences of the other, as opposed to the self (as seen in phenomenology). Using participant observation, interviews and analysis of online reviews a comprehensive picture was built up of the embodied experience of the visitor. Three very different World Heritage Site case studies were used to represent typical U.K/European site types – the rural prehistoric site represented by the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, the Roman military site by Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall and the urban medieval secular and religious sites by Durham Castle and Cathedral. Exploring the visitor experience of these sites allowed comparative analysis, revealing a complex and embodied visitor engagement. Visitors proved more critical and actively mindful than they are often portrayed but struggled to connect with the monuments as the materiality of past communities, sites that were once vibrant living places. Proposing the use of concepts of dwelling and embodied encounter this thesis provides a detailed case for rethinking the relationship between World Heritage Site Management Plans and Research Frameworks to prioritise the experiential. Interpreting not merely what remains, but what was there in the past, to bring the context back the these monuments in a more holistic manner; aspiring to a presentation that empowers the visitor by giving them access to more information in a way that is not data heavy but relies on their own experiences as a being-in-the-world.

Full textAbstract:
The nature of heritage is dissonant and heritage is likely to be part of conflicts or politics within and between classes, communities, ethnicity, identities or nations. One of the significant heritage debates is the presence of the Western Authorised Heritage Discourse (ARD) in non-Western societies, which may lead to tensions between stakeholders in heritage management. Heritage management in Non-Western countries at times sits in a complex web of conflicts due to the existence of competing discourses that shape the way cultural heritage is interpreted and managed. This research explores how different heritage interest groups perceive 'cultural heritage' and respond to tensions in heritage management arising from the competing ideologies underpinning heritage management by mapping conflicts over heritage issues at the city of Lamphun in Northern Thailand. There are different types of meanings and values attached to Lamphun's cultural heritage as a consequence of the coexistence of at least three major discourses: the traditional Buddhist/animistic worldview, the royalist- nationalist discourse and the Western AHD. This research has shown that while Western hegemony does exist, other competing discourses are equally influential. Heritage management will never be free of values or politics. In a place where management or administration is centralised, the parties that deliver globalised heritage practices are likely to be government agencies and experts. However, the outcomes of the implementation of these protocols, procedures or practices are often counterbalanced by traditional practices performed by locals and negotiations are necessary. The relationship between parties that adhere to different heritage discourses is in fact on a continuum. Heritage is defined and re-defined by a range of communities as they negotiate their identities and sense of place. These negotiations will have ongoing influences and will change not only the content of heritage discourses but also which discourses are given power and legitimacy. Heritage management, thus, should be a dynamic practice. Even the dominant discourses can change over time. Thus, it is difficult to define a single or 'best' set of practices that are held to be 'universally true'.

Full textAbstract:
Although previous research has widely acknowledged the phenomenon of film-induced tourism, there is a paucity of research in relation to management of film-induced tourism at built heritage sites. This research, underpinned by a constructivist paradigm, draws on three distinct fields of study – heritage tourism management, film-induced tourism and heritage interpretation – in order to provide a contribution to the heritage management field and address this particular gap in knowledge. Relying on the method of semi-structured interviews with managers, guides and visitors at Rosslyn Chapel (RC) and Alnwick Castle (AC), this thesis provides a rich understanding of how heritage interpretation can address a range of management challenges at heritage sites where film-induced tourism has occurred. These heritage visitor attractions (HVAs) were specifically selected as case studies as they have played different roles in media products. Rosslyn Chapel (RC) was an actual place named in The Da Vinci Code (TDVC) book and then film, whereas Alnwick Castle (AC) served as a backdrop for the first two Harry Potter (HP) films. Findings of this research include a range of management challenges at both RC and AC such as an increase in visitor numbers; seasonality issues; changes in visitor profile; revenue generation concerns; conservation, access, and visitor experience; and the complex relationship between heritage management and tourism activities. The findings also reveal film-induced tourism's implications for heritage interpretation such as the various visitors' expectations for heritage interpretation, changes to heritage interpretation as a result of film-induced tourism, and issues with commodification. These findings also demonstrate that film-induced tourism to some extent influenced visitors' preferences for heritage interpretation, though visitors' preferences differed from one to another. This thesis argues that, in the context of film-induced tourism at HVAs, as evident from the two case studies considered, heritage interpretation can be a valuable management tool and can also play a significant role in the quality of the visitors' experience.

Doctor of PhilosophyArchaeological remains have long been recognised as fragile evidence of the past, which require protection.

Analysis of legislative development in this thesis reveals that legislators viewed archaeological heritage as having a wide societal value, not solely or principally for the archaeological community. Archaeological heritage protection is considered within the broader philosophy of environmental conservation. As an environmental issue, it is suggested that a ‘public good’ conservation paradigm is closer to the original intent of archaeological heritage legislation, rather than the “scientific” paradigm which underlies much Australian legislation. Through investigation of the developmental history of Australian heritage legislation it is possible to observe how current practice has diverged from the original intent of the legislation, with New South Wales and Victoria serving as case studies. Further analysis is undertaken of the limited number of Australian court cases which have involved substantial archaeological issues to determine the court’s attitude to archaeological heritage protection. Situating archaeological heritage protective legislation within the field of environmental law allows the examination of alternate modes of protecting archaeological heritage and creates opportunities for ‘public good’ conservation outcomes. This shift of focus to ‘public good’ conservation as an alternative to narrowly-conceived scientific outcomes better aligns with current public policy directions including the sustainability principles, as they have developed in Australia, as well as indigenous rights of self-determination.

The paper is meant to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of public private

assess if this model is the only solution to overcome challenges faced by the
philanthropic approach and the emergency intervention model based on sporadic
allocations of public funds (Rojas, E. 2007). Otherwise we try to find out if a new
model for conservation management (Hutchings J. and Cassar, M. 2006) is rather
emerging at the theory level from crossing fields and at the empirical level from the
experience of well-established organizations operating internationally on the protection
and promotion of heritage sites. The case study of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and
the upcoming paradigm of co-management and co-production (Pestoff, 2009) are
expected to point out new routes for a sustainable management of cultural heritage
preservation by suggesting a hybrid model of community involvement.

Find full textAbstract:
As increasingly recognised by scholars, climate change is posing new challenges in the field of risk management and urban planning. The natural and anthropogenic risks that characterise a given territory, see their effects amplified by those of climate change. Even though cultural heritage has passed through decades and centuries, it has never experienced such unexpected and variable events as those forecasted by climate change for the foreseeable future, making it a sensitive element of the living environment. This thesis, whose general context has been defined and provided by the European H2020 SHELTER project, aims at defining guidelines to reduce the gap between disaster risk management and urban planning in the field of cultural heritage in historic areas. To this aim, the current integration of both cultural heritage and protection and prevention measures within planning policies and tools for the case study of Ravenna has been explored, reported and analysed, with a specific focus on the church and archaeological area of Santa Croce. The specific objective is to understand to what extent data risk management, climate change adaptation and heritage site management are currently treated as key interlinked elements. The results obtained have led to the definition of a protocol for integrating climate change and disaster risks management into heritage management which is articulated into six phases. As part of the protocol, an evaluation method of how urban planning tools already in force contribute to the adaptive capacity of Ravenna’ territory in terms of treating and dealing with risk management has been proposed and validated. The proposed guidelines may lead to the improvement of the heritage management plans that heritage site managers applies to cope with risks related and the effects of climate change. Lastly, three punctual design actions for increasing the resilience of the area of Santa Croce have been explored.

Full textAbstract:
Recently tourism sector has been gaining more importance as an essential part of the local economic development due to the global economic reformation, and many cities have achieved tourism based on local economic development. The concept of CHM has increasingly become an important subtitle for tourism sector with planning perspectives as a significant planning tool. The concept consists of combining the cultural, social, economic, and touristic sectors for an enhanced wider plan.
This thesis aims to investigate CHM on the case of Tripoli which has witnessed CHM development at its old city centre. It tries to analyze the local impact on Tripoli city and introduce a newly rehabilitated historical city centre for better tourism activities and an improved local development. Using Tripoli study case as a research method, this research focuses on Abou Ali district in Tripoli city. This district, in particular, has examined local tourism and economic development based on a CHM project prepared at the city level base to improve its local economy depending on cultural management related to its tourism activities. The local government, assisted by national and international supports, has introduced CHM to help the old neglected historical city centre re-emerge into the local economy which is the focal point this thesis aims to study.

This work primarily examines the management of wet-preserved archaeological sites in England, through an exploration of value and analysis of current management approaches. The aim is to explore whether the current policy frameworks, in particular the role of preservation in situ, can provide a sustainable future for wet-preserved archaeological sites. This work further seeks to conceptualise the modelling of sustainability, preservation and management decision making in wetland archaeological sites. Looking at the last 40 year of wetland research through the work of the large-scale wetland survey projects, this work initially considers the current understanding of wet archaeological sites in England. It also examines aspects of heritage management through the legislative and policy frameworks and their legacy. This work considers the implications that legislative and policy positions have for the management of wetland archaeological sites and examines the theoretical concepts that underpin them. This includes exploring reflective management, the development of research frameworks, and scoring mechanisms for the designation of sites. It also looks at broader constructs of value through the concepts of cultural and economic values. Three existing archaeological sites, a ringwork at Borough Fen near Peterborough, a marsh fort at Sutton Common near Doncaster and a triple post-alignment near Beccles, will be presented as case studies. These sites serve as examples of how the management of sites has been approached. The results of the case study analysis are used to develop a series of conceptual models looking firstly at sustainability and preservation in situ, and, secondly at preservation, value and decision making. The study concludes that the presumption in favour of preservation in situ can be challenging for wet preserved archaeological sites. Deterioration of the preservation environment can in some cases produce a similar decline in significance. Preservation in situ may therefore not be the most appropriate option for archaeological sites in wetlands.

Full textAbstract:
There are currently 962 geographic sites in the world that have been classified as World Heritage. World Heritage is a unique concept, privy to and defined by UNESCO-- the United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization, one of the specialized agencies and autonomous organizations established within the UN-United Nations system. World Heritage is governed by an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972 (The `Convention'). The inscription of a World Heritage Site or designation of World Heritage Status is highly coveted and considered in UNESCO parlance to be of "Outstanding Value to Humanity." There are only 4 heritage property sites of English-speaking islands in the Caribbean basin, one of which is located on the island of St. Lucia called The Pitons Management Area (PMA). The PMA comprises 2902 hectares of protected marine and terrestrial property inscribed in 2004. In 2008, the island faced the threat of placement on UNESCO's List of World Heritage in Danger (LWHD) for breaches of the Convention. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of World Heritage Status from three identified stakeholders: UNESCO, the St. Lucian national government and the local Soufrière township-home of the PMA. This was an exploratory attempt at gauging perceptions of local voices on World Heritage Status as it relates to the PMA and the island's classification as a small-island developing state (SIDS). Using political ecology as a theoretical framework for analyzing the role of power relationships in this case study, this research revealed that there is an overall lack of communication between the Soufrière community and the national government regarding education and sensitizing about the World Heritage program mandates and incorporating the local citizenry in the protection of their heritage. The majority of the local participants' support for World Heritage Status on the island of St. Lucia was dependent on perceptions of increased income and employment opportunities associated with World Heritage as a global construct and narrative. This research also showed concerns of UNESCO and the St. Lucian national government to be at odds with the 1972 Convention. Results indicated that the varied perceptions of the three stakeholder groups are based on the prioritized interests of each and incommensurate with the aims of protecting the PMA's heritage for posterity.

Full textAbstract:
The aims of this PhD thesis are to investigate the impact of conflict and division on walled Nicosia's heritage, in order to address existing gaps in knowledge concerning the heritage and heritage management of the city; and to further knowledge on existing heritage management approaches on either side of the city’s divide. To achieve this, a multidisciplinary review of literature and research methods within the international heritage discourse is initially presented, and introduces relevant themes and a conceptual framework that guides the case study data collection and analysis. The thesis later concentrates on the case study of walled Nicosia, presents and critically analyses the field work findings in light of the established conceptual framework. In doing so, a stronger understanding of practical considerations behind the management of the city's cultural heritage is established and employed to further develop the conceptual framework, as well as a set of recommendations that seek to benefit the city and its stakeholders. The objectives of this thesis are as follows: o To identify gaps and contributions concerning the heritage management of the city, by examining existing literature, as well as local and international approaches relevant to Nicosia. o To develop a context-specific conceptual framework relevant to the case study of Nicosia, through the identification of relevant themes and theoretical approaches around the topics of heritage and heritage management. o To apply the empirical data obtained from walled Nicosia in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the Nicosia Master Plan, NGOs and bi-communal initiatives on the tangible and intangible heritage of the city on both sides of the divide. o To explore and expose new, alternative strategies for knowledge production and dissemination, by communicating the significance of the findings and methodology to Nicosia and to relevant international cases. To address the above aims and objectives, this research utilises a qualitative case study approach. The data collection methods employed during the course of this study include structured and semi-structured interviews from several actors in Nicosia and empirical field studies. The outcomes of this research include the composition of a diverse body of primary data in the form of interviews, photographs, maps and diagrams from the case study of walled Nicosia. Contributions to knowledge are claimed in the following four areas: o Contribution based on the novel topic of the research; o The contribution to knowledge based on the research process; o Contribution of thesis based on the conceptual framework; o The broader contribution of this thesis to relevant cases in addition to the one of Nicosia.

Full textAbstract:
La frammentazione delle informazioni rappresenta una sfida aperta nel settore AEC, incluso il patrimonio costruito, causando notevoli difficoltà nella gestione delle stesse. Diversi metodi e strumenti sono stati sviluppati per mitigare tale perdita; uno di questi è il BIM. In riferimento al patrimonio costruito, la tesi affronta lo sviluppo della gestione dei dati che saranno strutturati per raggiungere un certo livello di informazione attraverso il BIM. La prima fase della gestione dei dati riguarda l'apporto di tecniche geomatiche che permettono di acquisire ed elaborare dati metrici per ottenere modelli 3D. La raccolta dei dati comprende anche informazioni non geometriche utili per definire lo stato di fatto del patrimonio costruito. Il BIM funge da raccoglitore caratterizzato da un modello 3D e da un database relazionale con le informazioni ad esso collegate. La gestione delle informazioni si sviluppa attraverso la definizione di un'ontologia che identifica i domini per raggruppare sintatticamente e collegare semanticamente le informazioni. Il BIM, come software parametrico, è caratterizzato da una struttura gerarchica delle informazioni per cui è difficile implementare uno schema ontologico. Si intende con HBIM un sistema BIM personalizzato per il patrimonio costruito. Un approccio integrato alla modellazione della conoscenza viene raggiunto combinando una rappresentazione empirica (ontologia) e visual-descrittiva (modello 3D). Un ulteriore grado di conoscenza si ottiene con dati provenienti da altre tecniche di informazione, come il GIS. L'interoperabilità tra BIM e GIS è assicurata attraverso la definizione di un'ontologia semantica unificata che permette la standardizzazione delle informazioni e favorisce la gestione e condivisione eterogenea dei dati attraverso web semantico. Questa metodologia, che tende ad andare oltre il BIM, può essere indicata con il nuovo termine di Building Knowledge Management and Modeling (BKMM).Fragmentation of information is an open challenge in the AEC sector, including built heritage, causing considerable difficulties in its management. Several methods and tools have been developed to mitigate this loss; one of them is BIM. With particular regard to the built heritage, this thesis addresses the development of data management that will be structured to achieve a certain level of information through the use of the BIM system. Then through the semantic interpretation of the collected information, an attempt is made to define the basis of a knowledge model. The first phase of data management concerns the contribution of geomatic techniques that allow the acquisition and processing of metric data to obtain 3D models. Data collection also includes non-geometric information useful for defining the state of the built heritage. BIM consitute a reference tool creating a data collector as is characterized by a 3D model and relational database, which collects the information linked to it. Information management is developed through the definition of an ontology that identifies domains to syntactically group and semantically link information. BIM, as a parametric software, is characterised by a hierarchical structure of information for which it is difficult to implement an ontological schema. HBIM is understood as a customised BIM system for the built heritage. An integrated approach to knowledge modelling is achieved by combining an empirical (ontology) and visual-descriptive (3D model) representation. A further degree of knowledge is achieved with data from other information techniques, such as GIS. Interoperability between BIM and GIS is ensured through the definition of a unified semantic ontology that allows the standardisation of information and favours the heterogeneous management and sharing of data through the semantic web. This methodology, which tends to go beyond BIM, can be referred to by the new term Building Knowledge Management and Modeling (BKMM).

Full textAbstract:
Within the world of library collection and preservation, the focus has historically been on the dual preservation of physical form and intellectual knowledge as represented through symbols (text), images, metadata, and organization of information. Certainly, the philosophy of the library to "enhance learning and ensure access to information for all" (ALA 2008) is paramount in directing resources and collection development in response to the needs of the user community. However, research and educational material may be found beyond the explicit materiality of books and the text they contain; understanding and recognizing spiritual and cultural properties implicitly located within certain library materials may provide additional fields of research, as well as learning and collaboration opportunities. Using adjunct literature within the field of museum studies and ethnography, this paper proposes to discuss how simultaneous recognition of intangible and tangible properties of certain objects is relevant to the library. The special collections library is perhaps the best place where such considerations can be made - it is a library dedicated to preserving not only copies of each work, but variant copies whose tangible and intangible properties may vary from one another - though some examples may apply to academic or public libraries as well. The scope of this undertaking will include a discussion of the adjunct and related literature from the museum world, identification of books, or types of books that have spiritual or cultural values to be considered, collection of cultural or religious viewpoints related to identified materials from members of one of those communities that create or use these items (Buddhist), and discussion of how such findings can inform the ongoing operations of special collections libraries and their mission as cultural memory institutions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis demonstrates how digital documentation and the development of integrated hazard assessment tools, can help guide the sustainable management of dynamic natural heritage sites. Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global Position System (GPS) technologies are used to digitally document the Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast World Heritage Site. This enables the development of GIS based integrated hazard assessment tools. These help site managers determine where specific processes occur, their likelihood of occurrence and probable impacts. At the Giant's Causeway the approach is used to assess the impact of slope failures on visitors and staff, and the impact of sea level rise on priority habitats and species. Results suggest that digital documentation, when coupled with integrated hazard assessment can make a tangible and practical contribution towards sustained physical access and practical conservation. A review of the issues and opportunities associated with the approach, result in the presentation of strategic guidelines which help managers deliver sustainable digital documentation and integrated hazard assessment projects.

Full textAbstract:
Culture has been consistently underrepresented in the sustainability debate and often perceived as a constraining factor to modern-day advancement. However in recent years, the broadening development paradigm in the Global South is increasingly asserting culture's indispensable role in sustainable human development. This dominant cultural paradigm mainstreamed by UNESCO is subscribed to by government and other role-players within the domain of culture and urban development. Despite its significant achievements, it however comes with a specific heritage conceptualisation, which is disconnected from local reality and perpetuates a problematic theoretical construct of cultural legacy, which is steeped in a Eurocentric conservation bias with colonial undertones. The thesis argues that this model will not lead to transformative interventions in urban areas that harness the power of culture if its interpretation remains decontextualised and perpetuates an instrumentalised view of culture and cultural conservation practice, inherited from the past. The thesis explores how an alternative conceptualisation of culture, based on the concept of cultural ecologies, can be more meaningful and beneficial in contributing to the theoretical reassessment of the human settlements imaginary. This is achieved through an interdisciplinary literature review and a case study of Bagamoyo, a small urban settlement in Tanzania. Through a systematic diagnosis of this small scale locality, cultural ecologies are foregrounded through the primary lens of the urban public-private interface and framed within a context that is shaped by the dynamics of globalisation. Additionally, the study takes place against the backdrop of a failed UNESCO World Heritage application, which allows me to discuss the undercurrents and invested interests associated with cultural heritage politics and the traumatic impact global conventions can have on local sustainability. It concludes in a proposed approach that repositions culture at the core of social exchange and argues that cultural sensitive development is an ongoing socio-cultural production process. Its potential lies in capturing the layered 'ordinariness' of place and in harnessing the imaginative responses arising from local idioms, practices and traditions as the shared imaginary of tomorrow.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the growing body of research on the concept of adaptive capacity, there is an absence of research which investigates adaptive capacity in the field of cultural heritage management. Climatic changes have potentially serious implications for the historic environment, which is itself a non-renewable resource. Cultural heritage sites can be particularly sensitive to severe weather events and to changes in climate, both due to direct impacts on built structures, archaeology and designed landscapes, but also due to changes in visitor behaviour and the potentially adverse implications of adaptive measures on heritage significance. This research investigated the adaptive capacity of the management of cultural heritage sites in the UK, through the assessment of adaptive capacity at selected case study sites. A questionnaire survey of all UK WHS sites, a review of plans and policy, and interviews with key stakeholders at a national level also contribute to the study. An in-depth qualitative analysis of three UK World Heritage Sites was undertaken, which were Ironbridge Gorge, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal and Blenheim Palace. Fieldwork included site visits, interviews with stakeholders involved in site management such as property managers, conservators and local authority officers, and a thorough documentary review. A conceptual framework of adaptive capacity relevant for heritage management has been developed, which can be used as a tool for analysis, in order to highlight strengths and weaknesses in capacity. The key determinants of adaptive capacity in the framework, identified through the research, are cognitive factors, leadership, learning capacity, access to information, authority and resources. The research makes a contribution to adaptive capacity theory, with adaptive capacity theory being found to be applicable to heritage management, but with certain limitations. Areas of weakness and strengths in adaptive capacity at the case study sites and in wider World Heritage management planning have been identified, and practical recommendations are presented. The study found that whilst progress is being made within the heritage sector on adaptation, there are significant challenges and areas where capacity could be enhanced. Notably, there is a lack of information on best practice and guidance on adaptation within a heritage context. Tools for futures thinking such as climate change scenarios are not being widely used in management planning, and concerns about the uncertainties associated with climate data are prevalent. Although clear top down guidance is needed to provide drivers and a framework for action, this needs to be balanced with local flexibility, in order to allow locally appropriate and sensitive decision making to protect significance. There is also a need for further collaboration and dialogue between different sectors, with sustained cooperation required to combine the approaches and requirements of those from different fields e.g. the integration of heritage concerns into the work of emergency planners.
