This book was released on 2013 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The urgent need for heritage management has been identified by many stakeholders and has even become a cornerstone in the preservation of a heritage. Yet heritage authorities tend to be exclusively interested in "big," and "important," national/ international heritage items. In Syria, like other countries, attention is mainly directed to its big archaeological sites, even though the country is rich in history, nature and culture. Undoubtedly, the nation's multitude of its heritage makes it difficult for Syrian heritage authorities to monitor and manage all aspects of its heritage on a fair balance of interests. Therefore, this study was carried out in order to raise awareness about "Rural Syrian Heritage" and its importance to the country's national identity. Although rural heritage in Syria is extremely varied, it is only partly known and often neglected by its own people. In addition, this study has introduced a new heritage management plan involving the local community which is still not widely used feature. The plan for community-based rural heritage management has been developed beside a detailed case study after different researches on cultures, heritage, laws, and management

Download or read book Community involvement in heritage written by Koen Van Balen and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The value of heritage for society is increasingly underscored. This goes hand in hand with a growing interest for local communities’ involvement in heritage management plans. Although this shift in discourse is acknowledged, its practical implementation seems often too ambitious and not easy to apply. Therefore, the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation (RLICC, University of Leuven) considered “community participation in valuing and managing heritage” a relevant and timely topic for its annual international conference, the “Thematic Week”. This volume reports on the lectures and fruitful debates dedicated to this theme during the 2014 Thematic Week, which took place January 22nd-24th. The conference entailed an integral and holistic approach towards community participation. Focusing traditionally on the conservation of the historic urban environment and immovable heritage, the RLICC took the opportunity to involve both the intangible and movable heritage fields which have a more apparent relation with community participation in managing heritage. The contributions by different international authors, including theoretical reflections, policy / discourse analyses and practical case studies, show that a balanced approach is needed. They evidence that more research is required on the success and on failure factors associated with community participation in heritage preservation and management projects. It appears that taking full advantage of public participation requires considering heritage as an economic, social and intellectual resource for local communities. These added benefits can enhance the value a community attributes to heritage and encourages them to maintain it. This publication was developed in context of the UNESCO Chair on Preventive Conservation, Monitoring and Maintenance of Monuments and Sites (PRECOM3OS), established at the RLICC in collaboration with Monumentenwacht Vlaanderen and the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Cuenca in Ecuador and financially supported by the Janssen Fund for Preventive Conservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nach der Stunde Null - Aus Nachkriegserfahrungen fur Syrien lernen? Denkmalpflege, Archaologie und Stadtebau als internationale Aufgabe" bietet Beitrage der gleichnamigen Fachtagung, die in Leipzig auf der denkmal 2016 abgehalten wurde. Im Dialog mit Fachinstitutionen und Experten aus Syrien werden europaische Nachkriegserfahrungen ausgewertet und daraufhin hinterfragt, inwieweit sie Referenzmaterial fur aktuelle Aufgaben der stadtebaulichen und archaologischen Denkmalpflege der MENA-Region liefern konnen. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Anliegen, das in erster Linie von syrischer Seite zu definieren ist. Gerade Mittel- und Osteuropa haben in der Phase des Wiederaufbaus nach den verheerenden Zerstorungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs viele Erfahrungen - positive wie negative - gesammelt. Diese sollten im Rahmen der grenzuberschreitenden und interdisziplinaren Kollegialitat von Archaologen, Denkmalpflegern und Stadtebauern als Know-how syrischen und weiteren Kollegen der Regionen als Grundlagen fur den Wiederaufbau des kulturellen Erbes zur Verfugung stehen. Dabei durfen nicht nur prominente antike Einzelbauten im Fokus stehen; es muss zunachst darum gehen, syrische Stadte mit ihren Denkmalen und historischen Stadtkernen zu retten und zu erhalten. Der vorliegende Band stellt daher folgende Fragen: Wie soll sich der Wiederaufbau gestalten? Neubau oder Rekonstruktion, alter Stadtgrundriss oder Neuordnung, Restaurierung gegen Nachempfindung oder Rekonstruktion? Wie umgehen mit dem archaologischen Erbe bei Planungsmassnahmen fur den Wiederaufbau?

Download or read book The Politics and Practices of Cultural Heritage in the Middle East written by Irene Maffi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, cultural heritage became a dominant feature of the political ideology of the European states and of their colonies. It became a new form of legitimization for the rising nation-state, cementing its inextricable link with that nation's politics and practices. The set of concepts and practices defining cultural heritage were exported to, and imposed over, the colonized populations in North Africa and the Near East. The legacy of the colonial period has proven very significant in the domain of cultural heritage which has become a crucial cultural arena in many Arab states. As in the majorities of post-colonial states, in the Arab world, the inherited paradigm of cultural heritage has been subject to various forms of adaption and re-elaboration that have made it a lively and complex space of negotiations between various actors. Thus, in The Politics of Cultural Heritage in the Middle East, Irene Maffi and Rami Daher draw together expert scholars to unravel these complex processes that are involved in the definition, production and consumption of heritage and its material culture in the Middle East, and the dynamics of the key actors involved. The variety of the cases analysed that cover the region from Morocco to Lebanon, as well as the multiplicity of the actors concerned such as the state (post-colonial or colonial), international organizations, municipal councils, local communities, families and even exceptional personalities, highlights and explores the complex processes where very local and specific dynamics intertwine with transnational economic, political and cultural fluxes. In its examination of the workings of cultural heritage in the Middle East, this book is an important resource for students and scholars of Middle East Studies, Cultural History, History of Art and Architecture, and for stakeholders involved in the field of cultural heritage.

Download or read book Management Planning for Cultural Heritage written by Ken Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management Planning for Cultural Heritage challenges traditional perceptions of and about the heritage planning process while also presenting a comprehensive analysis of the ever-widening field of Cultural Heritage Conservation. Drawing on the authors’ experience in teaching and involvement in international practice, the book examines the changes that are taking place in modes of thinking about heritage as part of increasingly complex urban transformations, and considers how these must engage with, and inform, professional practice. The book also acknowledges that international best practice has developed a great deal over the last 40 years and needs to be adapted, applied and refined through the recognition and application of regional values – tangible and intangible – based on cultural attitudes and practices. Emphasising the critical role of heritage planning and management in guiding change, Taylor and Verdini argue that this is especially critical if we are to safeguard values, identity and significance. In this sense, heritage is understood not only as a technical process but also as a social construct. The book therefore promotes a people-centred approach to cultural heritage management. Management Planning for Cultural Heritage will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners working in heritage studies and conservation. While the text has professional application, it also sets out to present a sound theoretical foundation relevant to the body of knowledge associated with management of cultural heritage places.
