How to cope with dissonant heritage: a way towards sustainable tourism development
ATRIUM is ambitious in its scope but also in the extent and nature of the partnership. The project is made up of 18 partners from the area of south-east Europe, from university departments and national ministries, to governmental organisations and city administrations, bringing different skills and experiences to the project. The partners come from 11 different countries (Italy, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Roumania, Croatia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Greece ; The UNESCO World Summit at Johannesburg in 2002, can be considered a watershed moment for promoting cultural diversity and defining cultural sustainability. Involving community residents is often regarded as best practice when fostering sustainability, though dissonant heritage problems may arise. We connect the issue of dissonance with contrasting interpretations of the past, specifically in the context of promoting heritage places linked to ideologies that are contrary to the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We focus on buildings constructed during the interwar years in Predappio and Forlì, which are closely tied to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, and now represent an “ambivalent and largely unwanted past”. Using a LISREL (Linear Structural Relations) model to analyse residents’ attitude towards tourism around these dissonant heritage sites, we show that without a proper cultural policy as the creation of the European cultural route named ATRIUM (Architecture of Totalitarian Regimes of the 20th Century in Europe's Urban Memory Route), residents view tourism unfavourably, rendering it unsustainable.
