CHICC Practices | Adaptive Heritage Themes | Challenges for Upscaling | Strategy to Overcome Challenges |
---|---|---|---|
Centres the community as a priority stakeholder | Transparency and Accountability; Innovative Governance | The size of the community at World Heritage Sites | Identify and connect with indigenous and/or local communities; Utilise appropriate digital tools |
Enhances understanding of heritage dynamism | Living heritage | Despair at loss of site or its value | Approach loss and change with sensitivity; Highlight uniqueness and/or special characteristics by focusing on sense of place |
Considers the wider cultural landscape | Adaptive management; Monitoring and evaluation | Disciplinary foci and hierarchies | Proactively accept the multi-disciplinary and multi-vocal nature of heritage; Embrace relationship between tangible and intangible values |
