Heritage Impact Assessment: A Sustainable Tool for Historic Buildings and Sites Preservation in Ghana
Purpose: Historic buildings and sites are easily demolished for redevelopment without recourse to their importance and preservation.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study reviewed the literature to assess laws, policies and tools governing Historic Buildings and Sites Preservation (HBSP) and Town Planning policies in Ghana for sustainable cultural heritage preservation in the country.
Findings: The study realised lack of tools for HBSP and apparent disconnection between the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB) and the District Planning Authority (DPA).
Research Limitation/Implications: The study focused on historic buildings and sites preservation in Ghana.
Practical Implication: Recommends that Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) be adopted to the Ghanaian situation as the requirement for a permit with certification by Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB).
Originality/Value: This study developed the legal framework for Heritage Impact Assessment, Ghana Museums and Monuments Board and District Planning Authority indicating their roles that affect Historic Buildings and Sites Preservation in Ghana.
