Community heritage discourse (CHD): A multidisciplinary perspective in understand built heritage conservation
Despite the heritage sector’s increasing efforts to protect cultural built heritage, the destruction of the historic environment is more significant than ever. For more than a few decades, heritage management systems have faced enormous impediments in their efforts to block the pressures that threaten the sustainability of built heritage conservation. Consequently, increasing numbers of participants are recognising that involving different stakeholders in conservation decision-making can be an opportunity to minimise the barriers to better built heritage conservation. However, in spite of these advances, the heritage sector still has a lot of work to do before its diverse stakeholders join forces for the real reforms that could bring broader insights to the heritage discourse. The objective of this paper is to qualify a new analytical concept entitled community heritage discourse (CHD), as identified in a recent study by Amar (2017). CHD directly reflects on the structures, meanings and processes through which a consensus, expectations and collective action concerning built heritage conservation can be achieved. The focus is therefore on the following theoretical and empirical questions: what is built heritage, which values are significant, who is a stakeholder and how are the three areas related to the conservation process? This paper is based on an empirical analysis of results and insights involving a literature review, focus groups and interviews conducted in Australia and Tanzania. This study reveals that built heritage conservation is not only dependent on a changing landscape and collective memories but, along with it, individual attitudes and value systems. This understanding provides the opportunity to generate a more inclusive framework for the strategic development of heritage conservation plans at the local, national and international levels. The paper gives a new approach to understanding the complex relationship between built heritage and stakeholder perceptions in heritage conservation. Keywords: ...
