Questions related to Heritage
I am conducting research in the area of heritage planning and conservation. Heritage Impact Assessment(HIA) is necessary before any kind of change or development in the built environment around a heritage site within a defined regulated area to determine its impacts on the potential of heritage. In India, it has now become mandatory by the National Monument Authority (NMA) in case of any centrally protected monument. Visual Impact Assessment is a very important component of an HIA to asses any future impact on the overall landscape of the place around the heritage site. To be precise, according to NMA guidelines, it is required to check the skyline concerning the heritage site, any visual obstruction in views of the heritage site, shadow on the heritage site due to new development, and consideration from building design bye-laws.
Guideline for HIA by NMA can be found here: https://www.nma.gov.in/documents/20126/51838/HIA+Report.pdf
From the available example of HIA reports, I understood that experts are using 3D software, first to model the existing structures and then adding the proposed structure to generate the views in the form of images/renders to visualise the projected development. Sometimes, it is done by only drawing a section and marking the human eye angle. I am not sure how they are validating these views. From these images/renders only, one can not say very definitively whether these are accurate or not. Also, I am unsure about the view/camera point selection.
I have not been able to find any study on the assessment of the overall visual quality of the surrounding area due to new changes.
It would be great if you know of any study or documents or share some light on this.
Dear all, I want to derive a perfect definition for Culture, and would also like to know if you have published any articles on Culture, and Heritage. If you have done any research on this topic, do leave a reply with a link back to your scholarly work. It will help with with my literature review.

In my opinion, the formation of electronic jurisdiction of the metaverse is inevitable.
The question is, should we follow the theories of John Barlow and Lawrence Lessig, concepts such as the Common Heritage of Mankind, the Westphalian projection, or should we start building e-jurisdiction "from scratch"? Colleagues, I am interested in your opinion and views.
Thank you.
Arts and culture and creativity - both material and immaterial heritage, skills and competences - are resources that should be protected and promoted. They not only contribute to the realisation of the SDGs, but also make them possible to a special degree. Only culturally sensitive, creative, unconventional approaches to solutions ensure the success of measures to achieve the SDGS.
Why does art not appear explicitly in the SDGS? But purely as a cross-cutting issue?
Hi, I am an anthropology PhD student, with a background of media sociology. Based on the concept of "site of memory" by Pierre Nora, I am currently trying to develop a method to analyze memory politics, by defining "memory" as a flow traveling among the place (I mean a heritage site), the media, and the people.
I am looing for references, especially from the field of heritage studies, memory studies and media studies, outlining the relation of site-media-people. Does anyone have suggestion?
By now, I have read literatures by Astrid Erll, Nick Couldry, Anna Reading, Ann Rigney, and James Wertsch.
Hello researchers,
I am working on mining heritage and tourism development for around four years now. I feel that my research topic is relatively new and fewer people are working in this field. Hence, I want to develop an academic network of people with similar interests so that collaboration may happen, and I can get more work opportunities and vice-versa. So, what is the correct way to find people with similar interests, what is the correct approach, and how to spread my own work to a greater audience who are interested in my research and capable to give the right feedbacks?
I am looking for studies and articles that can shed light on the development of public policies for the conservation of historical heritage in cities and local communities. Contributions are most welcome.
I am working on thesis about the urban heritage and cultural heritage importance in post-war reconstruction.
I believe technology has helped all field of science while heritage is one of the most valuable subject for people in all over the world. Protecting the heritage is a Serious responsibility because It is a trust in the hands of the present generation that must be preserved and handed over to the next generation and so how could be used new technology of HBIM to reach this goal.
I need help to find a journal indexed in social science especially covered cultural or arcitectural heritage, I can also pay for the rapid publication. thanks.
Hello Researchers,
I am interested to collaborate with researchers interested to work on mining heritage and mining tourism.
Hello everyone,
I´m in the next couple of months writing my dissertation. My thinking is along the lines of: Corporate heritage/history colliding with innovation and relevancy for the upcoming generation (millennials) in the luxury watch market. Especially the following paper has peeked my interest: "The corporate heritage brand paradox: Managing the tension between continuity and change in luxury brands"
However, there is also a lot of conflicting material and papers out there on the millennials, and not sure if I would end up studying two separate matters with this topic.
My question is if someone has any tips on how to attack this? If you have some expertise on the topics, and willing to share some thoughts/info/guidance it would be of great help. Ultimately, any help or feedback is very much appreciated!

The use of RSSI, (Received Signal Strength Indication) for problems of heritage location, which is the best technique, to create a map of patterns or triangulation.
Is authenticity more important for heritage site, museum and local environment visitation (physical and social), or, are most people and certain demographics equally satisfied with artificial replications and online images, videos, and abbreviated texts?
Are personally posted images and videos of museum collections, artifacts, and sites a good source of advertisement and marketing? Do they act as an effective advertisement for more physical in-person visitation, or, replace a desire for physical visitation?
As a number of US city planners contemplate the removal the highways from their metropolitan boundaries with a view to restoring long lost neighbourhoods are we looking at the post car era?
By the mid century gasoline and diesel power cars will be all but extinct. A few of them, like veteran biplanes will still be seen in heritage centres but the hundreds of millions of them that now inhabit the planet might be gone.
Is the highway and the car soon to join the stage coach and the pony express as a memory?
Recently, a wave of opposition was directed to the winners of a UNESCO and UIA organized competition for the rehabilitation on Al Nouri mosque area in Al Mousel, Iraq. The rational is based on the winners’ proposal to restore the mosque as it used to be but inject a more contemporary spirit in the surroundings. My pisition, is historical buildings should be restored but its context should be a represention of our contemporary time and using the architectural spaces and visual language which respect the uniqueness of the heritage but not copying in a superficial manner. I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.
I'm working on my thesis right now about relationship between sport heritage values and supporter's sense of place (of the city they live in). I had the idea that I should first measure the general sense of place using a likert scale system of several statement similar to those of Willams and Vaske (2003) and Jorgenson & Stedman (2001).
Then I had the idea to compose statements (also in likert scale format) regarding the sports club (the ''sense of the sports club'' as it were) that I based on sport heritage factors/values I explored in the theoretical framework.
So in short: I want to measure two different sets of likert scale data from the SAME respondent group and then I want to measure if there is a correlation between the sport heritage data outcome and the sense of place data outcome. As in for example: does a high 'sense of sportsclub' result in a higher sense of place compared to a lower sense of sportsclub?
Now comes my question(s): Is this a good idea? and so yes, how to measure this? Which statistical analysis should I use or is it maybe better to make sport heritage statements with only yes/no answers? Or am I tackling it the wrong way? (statistical analysis isn't my strong suit)
Any advice is welcome!
Hi everyone,
Am doing research about strategies families use in the home to support heritage language among family members. I will analyse language interaction between parents and their children using interactional sociolinguistics but I do not have much idea about it. so anyone can help, please?
Barracks, Forts and Ramparts: Regeneration Challenges for Portsmouth Harbour's Defence Heritage, by Celia Clark with Martin Marks OBE. Tricorn Books 2020. ISBN 9781912821648. 450 pages, illustrations, bibliographies, references, index. Available from celiadeane.clark@btopenworld.com £40 + £4 postage and packing (UK); overseas postage costs on request. This book is a successor to Celia Clark and Samer Bagaeen's earlier book: Sustainable Regeneration of Former Military Sites (Routledge 2016).
Portsmouth Harbour's long history of defending the nation - and recent experience of how the local ex-defence sites have found new civilian life - offer useful lessons for other once defence-dominated communities seeking new roles for their specialised physical legacy. The harbour contains in microcosm all the challenges as well as impressive examples of how to repurpose historic defence sites. This new book ends with an agenda for further research of this widespread but under-reported land use change at international level.
In the new era of Globalised Education, when everyone wants to be a part of the Global Ranking mechanism and race, there are some civic and social roles of institutions to be taken up for safe-guarding local ecology, culture, and heritage. What are the ways to get this pro-local approach for the academic institutions?
I am a sociolinguist/applied linguist whose part of research focuses on heritage language education.

I am in the planning stages of creating an African-American Studies course for my high school.
I would like it to be a celebration of success and achievement, but also a critical examination of pre-slavery, and African heritage.
I may contribute for this project from Indian Psychological Perspective, if you wish to say yes and give some more details . Individuals are being attached with their culture and heritage not only at the level of behavior or rituals , but also with socio -cognitive -emotional and biological justifications, Once these traces becomes weak then the process of conservation may get weak. So can we discuss bit more on this , if you are interested.

It happens that some buildings often designed in an innovative way, according to innovative concepts, which were later found to be crucial for the development of a specific era in the history of artistic development, are considered as a kind of architectural works of art. Architectural objects of this type are designed by globally known architects, they become the main objects of architecture, a kind of showpiece of a specific city, region of the country and quickly become tourist destination destinations and are covered with special protection as recognized as a significant contribution to the history of architecture and national heritage development of the country.
Do you agree with my interpretation of architectural works of art?
Please reply

Interpreting heritage as cultural capital has a clear parallel with the definition of environment as natural capital.
Economic valuation of heritage investment evolved from methods traditionally
used in environmental economics.
The hedonic price method, widely used in urban economics, is emerging
as a better tool for evaluating heritage-related investments.
Cultural projects contribute to urban livability, attracting talent, and providing an
enabling environment for job creation. It also provide unemployed unskilled labor the jobs via tourism, associated FDI, managerial and spillover effect in the peripheral area via knowledge based firms investments/business.
Development is by nature a joint public and private effort. Historic city Core, heritage development and under utilized land use require adaptive reuse aka balanced conservation
Cultural Heritage has 3 aspects of value assessment
1. Market value measured with 5 different approaches likes cost and revenue analysis, social cost benefit analysis, using rational expectations via revealed and stated preferences, travel cost analysis and hedonic value analysis( information change in properties/real state values of local area especially via geographical information system)
2. Non market value/non use-value. It is of three kind’s like that natural capital value analysis. Existence value of heritage, option value of that heritage and bequest/legacy value for intergenerational concerns.
3. Cultural value. It is multidimensional and includes aesthetic, symbolic, spiritual, social, religious and traditional etc. aspects. It includes tangible cultural value natural as well as manmade, intangible value like traditions/production methods etc.
In recent years, a new form of investment, known as impact investment funds, has emerged in the market. Th e impact investment funds are designed as a socially responsible investment not driven exclusively by profit and generally targeted toward addressing heritage, environmental, and social issues. Impact investment is defined as actively placing capital in businesses and funds that generate social or environmental good and a range of returns to the investor.

How could digital technologies such as VR and AR support the protection of lost tangible and intangible heritage?
Perhaps first the term heritage needs to be defined to address this question. What is the value of heritage? While I strongly believe in the value of heritage for the city, I do not understand why. Up until this point I have found closure in the understanding that it is an analogical answer, and thus very personal and beyond total grasp, but I wonder if there is a more logical approach to understanding this question.
Fossils are pieces of the planet evolutionary history, because of that are considered geological heritage. However, in several countries is common and legal its trade. This could be risk for this heritage? Which is the best practice to preserve this heritage?
My research topic is related to cultural tourism in a known and unknown heritage centers. The already known heritage sites are known and there are also unknown. I will use both qualitative and quantitative research approach where the qualitative one will be mainly use FGD, Participant observation, case study and interview (mainly to respondents around the sites and institution). For the quantitative approach both domestic and international tourists will be the target population. However, they are unknown. Which formula is helpful for this type of study?
I will appreciate if you also drop me your ideas to hagosg@gmail.com

I am an IT graduate diploma student and I stumbled upon your project while looking for papers on Cultural and Architectural Heritage dissemination and I really loved the subject. I am currently writing a Literature Review on the subject and I am not quite sure if I know enough to tackle it.
What do you consider to be essential to know in order to do it properly?

Jiuzhaogou site was among the first group of natural bueaties in China that were designated as the World Heritage by UNESCO. Its natural wonders are really spectacular! It is a must-visit place of a life time for any human being! However,what is the mechanism of interplay and harmonization amongst the water,soil,vegetation and rocks? These questions become pressing especially becasue of the 7.0 degree earthquake that hit the site right in the middle and damaged some of its best lakes.References and discussions are welcome and your efforts will probably help to save the world heritage!
Since Turkey is located in the Mediterranean macroclimate region in the sub-tropical zone, great rainfall variations can be seen between the years. at the north part, extreme rainfall and flood hazards and at the south and south-west part overheating are among main problems. However, the severity and of these variations is different from region to region. how can we define the most risky region, which its built heritage will be affected more in terms of future climate change?
This follows from the study of numerous samples of the world heritage. See https://www.researchgate.net/project/Anthropometric-Architecture

Several authors claim that the first heritage institutions were created for the first time in Africa during colonization. I am looking for references that affirm the opposite. Studies attesting that there already existed in Africa an extra-family heritage, common to nations and peoples, but also that its was institutionalized and organized before the colonial period.

I am interested in knowing specialized review to publish my papers. Thank you very much.
Why is it missing the Islamic Arab heritage and its scholars of the study of the sign in Western studies of modern and contemporary ?, although Ibn Sina, who lived in the twelfth century. He actively attends the presentation of De Saussure, who lived in the nineteenth century in his work (healing). Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, who lived in the twelfth century, and put forward the concept of the sign and is very close to the references presented by Charles Sanders Pierce, who lived in the nineteenth century in his book (the standard of science). Abdul elkahar Jarjani who lived in the twelfth century, almost a reference for Roland Barthes in particular on the question of semantics of denotation and connotation (miracle signs in the science of meanings) ???
That is why some scholars to say contemporary that the concept of the sign in recent studies, in accordance with the semantic concept in the Arab and Islamic heritage, and is based on the Islamic world view, as an indication of the presence of the Creator (GOD ) in his interpretation of the semantic notion in Islamic thought and compensated by the sign in semiotics.
I am currently working on a research proposal about ancient auralizations and I am surprised to find very little actual audio renderings. Whilst I am sure many researchers have them, it seems that it very rarely gets published onto websites and other research platforms. Can anybody point me to either their private websites/collections or public online platforms where I might find this data? Thank you in advance.

Culture is our lifestyle. It incorporates our qualities, convictions, traditions, dialects and customs. Culture is reflected in our history, in our legacy and by they way we express thoughts and imagination.
Historic earthen structures are a significant part of the built heritage worldwide and are associated with intangible building techniques, wide material availability and low cost construction. Nonetheless, due to their low mechanical properties and, often, poor connections, historic earthen structures are susceptible to early structural damage and even collapse in areas of high seismic hazard. InIn additionthe lack of maintenance can further reduce structural performance and durability.
Please let me know if it fits with your journal and I will send you the abstract to double check. The paper is almost finished.
I would like to create an online digital map guide of the urban, social and economic characteristics of an area with a significant historical heritage. I will be very grateful for your contributions in terms of ideas, proposals, bibliography, examples of feild sheets, operational modes, GIS online ...
When use value is perceived by contemporaries as lower than non-use value, heritage is perceived as a public or common good and its value is perceived as bequest and non-tangible. In this case, most of the society feels the need of protecting heritage for the future generations due to its historic legacy and the willingness to keep it towards future generations (Fig. 2).
The biggest challenge occurs, however, when the difference between use and non-use value of heritage is minor or difficult to identify. Considering a hypothetical piece of heritage that no-one actually likes except a narrow group of experts, the average value for the asset may be very low. The perceived benefits will be then lower than the costs of conserving it and economic logic would dictate that it is not conserved for the sake of a few people (Provins et al. 2008)
Do any researcher know or have tried any method to map intangible heritage?
Youth of today should know how significant the struggles of politics that shined SA under the colonial powers are. How the Human Rights Day; the Freedom Day; Labour Day; June 16, Youth Day; Women’s Day; Heritage Day and the Day of Reconciliation came about. Today SA commemorates and celebrates the hard earned victory of Africanism. People who pioneered and led the multi-campaigns, movements and others even exiled to free SA from the “shackles of Versailles”, some died while others are still living and sharing experiences they had gone through with the struggle.
As an identified Aboriginal (Gamilaroi) person with mixed heritage, I am fed up of seeing and hearing on National TV and in every day life that First Nations people are at each other, when it comes to money, culture and history. We have struggled enough for 230 years, and quite frankly I'm over it!!
We are not helping ourselves let alone our communities. Yes many have been dislocated from their traditional roots, my family was no different thanks to genocide and ongoing child removals. As a nation how are we going to fix this dilemma? I am over being asked what percentage of Aboriginal, I am also tired of westerners and immigrants saying your not black enough. The monkey see and hear does not work... We come in all shades, we live among your communities, whether it be urban or regional.
It is time to have an open conversation about the myths that: "the real Aboriginal people live in the desert, are black, poor, and paint dots".

Ecotourism is a tool that provides opportunities - a financially viable tool that provides sustainable solutions to economic challenges and conservation needs of local people; an alternative means of supporting rural economies to help revitalize and sustain local heritage; and a market-linked force connecting and empowering stakeholders. Equally importantly, ecotourism also provides you, the traveler with unique opportunities to gain authentic experiences, discover new places, make new friends, and have a fun, memorable time. Eco-traveling can be much more than just taking only pictures and leaving only footprints; it’s an opportunity for you to make a difference and to make a lasting impact on communities and destinations you visit.
I like to get help regarding - some references Books/ Papers that discuss about
Conservation
Restoration
Adaptive reuse

Short first metatarsals create an imbalanced metatarsal parabola. This in turn leads to biomchanical imabalnce and altered gait leading to either disorders of over-pronation such as hallux valgus, hallux rigidus. Compensations for inability to flex the 1st MTPJ on weightbearing include abduction of the foot which can lead to hyperkeratosis overlying the lesser mets.
Could this be more prevalent in indian heritage patients?

The Diocletian’s palace in Split is known to receive management decisions, which have represented the developing process of heritage management world wide. From stylistic restoration and demolition of postantique structures that didn't belong the the Roman Period, until Riegl's ideas to keep buildings that contributed to the image and harmony of the site.
Is there any other significant example elsewhere that shows the debate or conflict between the domination of historicitized image of a heritage site in a town, and the advocacy of layered-historical complexity?
I'm looking for the best practices in managing interest conflict in urban heritage areas.

The Anthropometric Architecture project teaches language to interpret the measurements of monuments.
This example is from the north elevation of the Dar al-Hana pool. Agdal, Marrakech, Morocco.
By this I am alluding to the relative confusion of many states in Europe to influxes from other cultures, often producing confusions of identity, and states such as China-relatively free of this new phenomenon-which seem at present more focused and determined.
This phenomenon, cultures mixing, has occurred in history producing long term innovative results, but often dominant states have expressed embedded degrees of real or assumed homogeneity-USA through a romanticised notion of Anglo-Saxon heritage (Northern European, Protestant, hardworking and liberal), Britain through a constructed sense of shared values expressed as a shared political heritage.
By this I mean its belief in an Anglo-Saxon heritage when so many other important groups contributed. Isn't the USA as much a product of black culture as European for example, as there was parity between the groups in its early history?
Vanchhia is a site in the south eastern part of Mizoram and is currently being excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India. No written report is available from them so far. I would very much like to have your opinion as this would help the local people to understand and care for their heritage. The site is spread over 30/50 m approx. A few iron pestles have been reported from this site, as well fragmented pottery from the 'holes.' However, I wasn't shown these things.
