Os lugares sagrados são espaços delimitados por indivíduos que lhe conferem significado diferenciado. Mesmo assim, esta característica não impede que tais espaços sejam apropriados como atrativos turísticos. O Centro Bom Jesus de Nazaré é um exemplo de como esses dois fenômenos estão relacionados. Localizado no Sítio da Jacuba, em Natividade (TO), o espaço é composto por monumentos escultóricos a céu aberto construídos por Mãe Romana a partir de suas visões místicas. Pela singularidade do seu trabalho, o sítio atrai visitantes ao longo do ano. Este artigo analisou a dinâmica neste lugar que é sagrado e turístico ao mesmo tempo, por meio de uma revisão histórica sobre os seguintes conceitos: sagrado, turismo e legado cultural; partindo também da percepção dos sujeitos que nele habitam. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, foi construída a partir de revisão bibliográfica e entrevista semiestruturada in situ com a entrevistada 01, irmã de Mãe Romana. Por meio delas, foi possível perceber uma relação ambivalente a respeito da prática turística que ali acontece, em que ela contribui para a valorização do lugar e de seus moradores, ao mesmo tempo em que é promotora de instabilidades. Este trabalho se apresenta como um passo inicial na análise da atividade turística como vetor de valorização deste patrimônio, ao mesmo tempo em que propõe uma análise crítica sobre seus impactos.Palavras-chave: Turismo; Legado Cultural; Mãe Romana de Natividade; Sagrado.  MOTHER ROMANA'S SACRED LABYRINTH: TOURISM AND CULTURAL HERITAGE IN BOM JESUS DE NAZARÉ CENTER IN NATIVIDADE, TOCANTINS, BRAZIL Abstract: Sacred places are spaces delimited by certain individuals that give it a differentiated meaning. Even so, this feature does not prevent such spaces from being used as tourist attractions. Bom Jesus de Nazaré Center is an example of how these two phenomena are related. Located on the site of Jacuba, in Natividade (state of Tocantins, Brazil), the space is composed of open air sculptural monuments built by Mãe Romana according to her mystical visions. Due to the unique characteristics of her work and monuments, the site attracts many visitors throughout the year. This article analyzed the dynamics in this place that is sacred and touristic at the same time, through a historical review on the following concepts: sacred, tourism and cultural heritage; and from the perception of the individuals who inhabit it. The research, of an exploratory nature, was built from bibliographic review and semi-structured interview in situ in Natividade. Through them, it was possible to perceive an ambivalent relation regarding the tourist practice that happens there, in which it contributes to the valorization of the place and of its inhabitants, at the same time that tourism can produce conflicts due to the flow of people. This work is presented as an initial step in the analysis of tourism activity as a vector for valuing this heritage, while proposing a critical analysis of its impacts.Keywords: Tourism; Cultural Legacy; Romana Mother of Natividade; Sacred.

This study aimed to understand the tourist attractions, major tourism products and their assessment in Manaslu Conservation Area of Nepal MCA). MCA is a place well known both, nationally and internationally, for its scenic beauty, unique ecology, and rich cultural heritage, given by its geographic position and unique topography. The number of tourists visiting this area has been increasing every year. In 2001 the tourist flow was only 798 whereas in 2019 it was 7655. Such tourism growth has several socio-economic and cultural consequences. Along with the increased number of tourists, tourism focused facilities and infrastructures like hotels and tea shops are also increasing in the area. There are 127 hotels with 1328 rooms and 2827 beds (as of 2019) providing food and accommodation services for the visitors. However, even though there are many potential areas for tourism development in the Manaslu Conservation Area, because of less promotional practices, there is very little tourism activity in the region. With the area's diverse physiography, unique landscape, biodiversity and the social-cultural dimension of the villages, the area could provide plenty of attractions for tourism.

“Frontier tourism” or tourisme de partage is a genuine typology of tourism which has these four features: space (geographic), time (historic), experience (motivations and behaviours) and sharing cultural heritage (material or immaterial). The border lands of Alto Vinalopó (Alicante-Spain) have a paradoxical and dual element in the sense that they operate as a territory with common customs and traditions which share many similarities with other territories, but at the same time they show a number of contrasts and peculiarities. Reorganized now as potential tourist attractions, these deep-rooted ethnographic displays are becoming consumable products, which are struggling to find a differential position in the leisure business. This article is aimed at illustrating this process, analysing its sociocultural, economic and promotional variables by considering a particular event: the Moors and Christians festival in Villena. These ancient celebrations convey their own values and signs of identity which have also served to stimulate and diversify the local economy. Besides, after being officially declared in 2015 a national tourist attraction, with the “4th September, All Mad” campaign, this festival has generated challenges, uncertainties and opportunities for tourist development which will demand the right creative strategies and economic management to succeed.

ABSTRAKIndonesia adalah Negara yang dibentuk oleh banyak kerajaan lokal yang kemudian bergabung menjadi sebuah republik yang sekarang dikenal sebagai Republik Indonesia. Setelah bergabung dengan republik, kerajaan-kerajaan ini kehilangan kekuasaan dan legitimasi mereka terhadap masyarakat dan tanah diberikan kepada pemerintah. Kondisi ini menyebabkan kerajaan tidak lagi memiliki pendapatan untuk mendukung warisan budaya mereka. Beberapa dari kerajaan diambil alih oleh pemerintah untuk dijadikan museum. Meskipun banyak memiliki warisan budaya tetapi kerajaan tidak menarik untuk dikunjungi oleh wisatawan karena banyak warisan budaya yang tidak dipelihara dengan baik dan dilindungi sehingga membuat warisan budaya yang ada mulai dilupakan. Puri Anyar Kerambitan, Bali adalah salah satu dari beberapa kerajaan yang dapat bertahan hidup dengan mengembangkan wisata budaya dan menjual kebiasaan dan warisan keluarga kerajaan seperti makan malam kerajaan, tarian kerajaan dan pernikahan kerajaan. Aktivitas pariwisata tidak hanya menghidupkan kembali kerajaan tetapi juga masyarakat sekitar dan kekaisaran sebagai pusat budaya yang kembali muncul. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan metode deskriptif dan wawancara dilakukan kepada pemangku kepentingan pariwisata untuk mengetahui persepsi mereka terhadap pengembangan wisata kerajaan di Puri Anyar Kerambitan. Hasil dari penelitian yang dilakukan ditemukan bahwa kegiatan pariwisata yang dikembangkan oleh keluarga kerajaan memiliki dampak positif pada kesejahteraan masyarakat dan mendirikan tempat wisata baru yang belum dikenal oleh masyarakat luas, terutama wisatawan karena mereka dapat lebih mengetahui bagaimana kehidupan keluarga kerajaan di zaman kuno. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana suatu kerajaan dapat menghidupkan kembali kekayaan budayanya setelah adanya kegiatan pariwisata sehingga dapat menjadi contoh bagi kerajaan lain yang memiliki masalah yang sama. Kata Kunci: Kerajaan, Pariwisata, Bali  REVIVING THE ROYAL KINGDOM THROUGH TOURISM(Case Study Of The Puri Anyar Kerambitan, Bali, Indonesia) ABSTRACTIndonesia is a State that is  formed by many local kingdoms which later merged into a republic now known as the Republic of Indonesia. After joining the republic these kingdoms lost their power and legitimacy to society and the land as it should be given to the government. These conditions led to the kingdoms no longer have the income to support their cultural heritage. Some of them was taken over by the government to be a museum. Although many have cultural heritage but the kingdoms are not attractive to be visited by tourists because many of the cultural heritage are not well maintained and protected tha make existing cultural heritage began to be forgotten. Puri Anyar Kerambitan, Bali is one of the few kingdoms that can survive by developing cultural tourism and selling the royal family habits and heritage such as royal dinner, royal dance and royal wedding. The tourism activity not only revives the kingdom but also the surrounding community and the empire as a cultural center re-emerges. This study uses descriptive methods approach and interview was conducted to stakeholder tourism to know their perceptions of the development of royal tourism in Puri Anyar Kerambitan. From the results of studies conducted found that the tourism activities developed by the royal family have a positive impact on the welfare of the community and established new tourist attractions that has not been known by the wider community, especially tourists because they can know more how the life of the royal family in the ancient times. The purpose of this study is to find out how a kingdom can revive its cultural treasures after experience through tourism so that it can be an example for other kingdoms that has the same problem. Keyword: Royal Kingdom, Tourism, Bali

BACKGROUND A common challenge within psychiatry and prevention science more broadly is the lack of effective, engaging, and scale-able mechanisms to deliver psycho-social interventions for children, especially beyond in-person therapeutic or school-based contexts. Although digital technology has the potential to address these issues, existing research on technology-enabled interventions for families remains limited. OBJECTIVE The aim of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility of in-situ deployments of a low-cost, bespoke prototype, which has been designed to support children’s in-the-moment emotion regulation efforts. This prototype instantiates a novel intervention model that aims to address the existing limitations by delivering the intervention through an interactive object (a ‘smart toy’) sent home with the child, without any prior training necessary for either the child or their carer. This pilot study examined (i) engagement and acceptability of the device in the homes during 1 week deployments; and (ii) qualitative indicators of emotion regulation effects, as reported by parents and children. METHODS In this qualitative study, ten families (altogether 11 children aged 6-10 years) were recruited from three under-privileged communities in the UK. The RA visited participants in their homes to give children the ‘smart toy’ and conduct a semi-structured interview with at least one parent from each family. Children were given the prototype, a discovery book, and a simple digital camera to keep at home for 7-8 days, after which we interviewed each child and their parent about their experience. Thematic analysis guided the identification and organisation of common themes and patterns across the dataset. In addition, the prototypes automatically logged every interaction with the toy throughout the week-long deployments. RESULTS Across all 10 families, parents and children reported that the ‘smart toy’ was incorporated into children’s emotion regulation practices and engaged with naturally in moments children wanted to relax or calm down. Data suggests that children interacted with the toy throughout the duration of the deployment, found the experience enjoyable, and all requested to keep the toy longer. Child emotional connection to the toy—caring for its ‘well-being’—appears to have driven this strong engagement. Parents reported satisfaction with and acceptability of the toy. CONCLUSIONS This is the first known study investigation of the use of object-enabled intervention delivery to support emotion regulation in-situ. The strong engagement and qualitative indications of effects are promising – children were able to use the prototype without any training and incorporated it into their emotion regulation practices during daily challenges. Future work is needed to extend this indicative data with efficacy studies examining the psychological efficacy of the proposed intervention. More broadly, our findings suggest the potential of a technology-enabled shift in how prevention interventions are designed and delivered: empowering children and parents through ‘child-led, situated interventions’, where participants learn through actionable support directly within family life, as opposed to didactic in-person workshops and a subsequent skills application.

This paper aims to share the experience acquired with students of the 3rd year (namely the 12th grade of the Portuguese educational system) at the Vocational School for the Recovery of Heritage of Sintra in the Course of Studies for Conservation and Restoration Assistants in the field of Plaster Restoration, in the classes of Work-Related Training and Analytical Methods of Examination and Laboratory Analysis, by carrying out theoretical-practical work and training in a work context specifically focused on Portuguese heritage, demonstrating how practical classes motivate students and prepare them for future professional work. This vocational course helps students to reflect and question themselves on the role of “looking” at heritage. Thus, its cross information, both interdisciplinary and from the historical-artistic context of the monument, will provide a better perspective over its materiality and its use. In situ learning awakens students to the reality of work. The notion that they are helping to maintain the memory of ancestors credits them and gives them confidence in their work. After presenting their Final Year Projects, they look at heritage with a more awakened vision. With this, they have the perception that they have contributed to the reconstruction of memory, their cultural heritage.

The conservation of a primary importance historical building requires organization, management, continuous updating, comparison, and visualization of a large amount of data of different nature and origin. In relation to these aspects the use of a GIS brings various advantages including single and univocal management of the entire amount of existing data in a relational, dynamic, updatable and queryable way. The integration of a mobile solution permits the updating of the dataset and checking on site all information. The workflow presented uses opensource solutions, desktop and mobile, which allows the creation of an unconventional lithological Field Mapping activity: starting from photo interpretation and in situ survey, all the coating materials (stone, etc.) of some monuments of primary historical and cultural interest have been mapped (i.e., Duomo di Firenze, Duomo di Prato). The product can be considered as a lithological cartography, vertically oriented, processed by field surveys, geognostic surveys and photo interpretation. All combined to create a “lithological” mapping of the coatings of the various monuments; the advantage is a new approach for conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage. The proposed workflow involves a mobile solution, opensource, that allows the verification and management of the database in the field.

Emergency Measures

In Algeria, several old urban nuclei are decayed or severely damaged. Numerous are the factors related to these damages: the age of constructions (many centuries), the bad or absence of maintenance, the natural disaster (earthquake, landslide, and floods) and sometimes the abandonment. Since 2003, the law 98-03 related to the preservation of cultural heritage and its application decree was implemented. In fact the first safeguard sector plan in Algeria was applied to the Casbah of Algiers which is classified as a World Heritage. This old urban nucleus presents an important decay. The different problems related to its aspect are principally the age of constructions; some of them date from the 10th century and the majority of the 16th; the absence of maintenance and recently in 2003 the impact of the earthquake. The project is still under investigation and is established by the CNERU Group (National Center in Urban Research and Studies). Furthermore the work on these areas was done under constraints. The Casbah of Algiers is a World Cultural Heritage, what induced us the installation of emergency measures (propping up), then in parallel an in situ investigation in order to determine the vulnerability of constructions was done (minor and major inheritance, houses and buildings) in order to elaborate the manual of rehabilitation and the safeguard plan and its regulation. This paper presents the adopted methodologies in this area and the different actions as the emergency measures, the constructions propping up and the manual of rehabilitation.
