Despite a complex and often tragic history, the Ukrainian people have inherited from previous generations a powerful array of cultural heritage sites, much of which has survived to the present day. Represented by a tangible and intangible component, cultural heritage in society fulfills the ambitious tasks of forming civic consciousness, a sense of national dignity, patriotism and pride in the glorious historical past. In addition, it is able to successfully implement such tasks as the formation of the tourist image of the territories, by attracting the attention of tourists to increase the demand for recreation in the region and thus solve a number of socio-economic problems of the latter. Unlike tangible cultural heritage, the objects of which are mostly known to the general public, elements of intangible cultural heritage are often unknown not only to foreign tourists but also to citizens of the state. In this regard, given the uniqueness of many elements of the intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine, as well as their ability to become a powerful tourist resource, it is obvious the need for greater promotion, the formation of a stable interest in them. Undoubtedly, the inclusion of elements of intangible cultural heritage in the National List and the UNESCO Representative List, as well as holding various thematic festivals, master classes with folk artists, organizing exhibitions of their works, creating and disseminating advertising and information products on the subject. Currently, the National List of Elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage has 26 items, Petrykivka Decorative Painting as a phenomenon of Ukrainian ornamental folk art, Cossack Songs of Dnipropetrovsk Region and the Tradition of Kosovo Painted Ceramics are included in the UNESCO analogue. The Crimean Tatar ornament ornek and the culture of Ukrainian borscht are waiting to be included in the UNESCO List. Being a valuable tourist resource, intangible cultural heritage is able to develop the tourist potential of the territory and form the competitive advantages of the tourist product in the world and national tourist market.

<p>The advent of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has had and is having a major impact on Indonesian cultural resource management, and on the safeguarding methods of its tangible and intangible cultural heritages. Despite varied levels and visible gaps between rural and urban regions in terms of technology usage, innovative initiatives have been created, which correspond to the needs and expectations of a technology-savvy public. As a starting point, a number of public institutions dealing with tangible cultural heritage (e.g. museums, palaces, temples, World Heritage Sites (WHS)) do use innovative digital tools in order to communicate to various audiences, as well as to enrich visitors’ experience, especially taking into consideration young generations. This paper will firstly examine the role of ICTs in intangible cultural heritage (ICH) (e.g. Batik, Wayang puppet theatre, etc.); secondly, the authors will explain how ICTs can help to communicate and promote the values, history, and significances of ICH products, both for locals and tourists, with the goal of raising awareness on cultural identity. However, the knowledge of ICH still requires contacts with its own communities and is vulnerable, as it can be exposed to excessive cultural commoditization through e-platforms. This study aims at giving an overview and some examples of digital interventions for cultural heritage communication implemented by various stakeholders in Indonesia. In addition, this paper analyses to what extent a participatory approach engaging local communities, academics, private sectors, NGOs and the government, can ensure higher levels of effectiveness and efficiency, hence supporting the conservation of UNESCO tangible/ICH in Indonesia. This paper aims at: (1) presenting the development of digital heritage platforms in Indonesia; (2) providing a grid of analysis of digital heritage knowledge platforms dedicated to UNESCO tangible and ICH in forms of websites and mobile apps.</p><p>Highlights:</p><ul><li><p>Providing a map of the online presence of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHSs) in Indonesia by analysing 180 webpages in English and Indonesian languages.</p></li><li><p>Identifying several types of digital heritage websites in Indonesia based on the set of categories.</p></li><li><p>Classifying a map of 312 mobile apps dealing with UNESCO WHSs and Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in Indonesia, which were retrieved from Android and iOS platforms.</p></li></ul>

The purpose of this study is to understand the elements of creativity, as well as to what extent and how creativity serves as a tool in preserving the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) at World Heritage Sites (WHSs). A WHS will lose its uniqueness if the ICH disappears. Hence, it is important to determine how creativity may sustain the ICH. In-depth interviews, and participant and nonparticipant observations were conducted, and a 5As—actor, audience, affordance, artifact, and apprentice—cultural creativity interaction model was constructed. These elements of cultural creativity may serve as a guideline for different stakeholders in sustaining the status of a WHS.

The purpose of this article is to study the theoretical and methodological and practical aspects of the problem of study, conservation and use of cultural heritage sites of Ukraine, taking into account present challenges and opportunities. The research methodology is represented by a set of general-scientific and special historical methods of scientific knowledge, the principles of historicism, scientificity, systematization and complexity. The scientific novelty of this article involves an attempt to understand, from a holistic perspective, the problem of study, conservation and use of cultural heritage of Ukraine, based on the analysis of the relevant legal and regulatory framework and researches made by the contemporaries on the studied subject, as well as today's realities we are witnessing. Conclusions. A brief historical insight into the origins of interest in the problem of study, conservation and use of cultural heritage sites in Ukraine has certified a relatively short period of its antiquity, although this interest has significantly increased over the course of time. At present time, the defined range of issues is extremely relevant, because in a certain area there are a number of problems, the unresolved nature of which in the near future threatens the physical loss of many unique monuments of antiquity, which together make the basis for the reconstruction of the historical past of the Ukrainian people, testify to the ethno- and nation-genesis of Ukrainian heritage, its identity and separateness. The problems which need to be resolved as soon as possible include the improvement of regulatory and legal support for the protection of cultural heritage sites, the organization and implementation of monument protection activities, registration of cultural monuments, their study, protection and restoration. Taking care of the future that, in the opinion of the most Ukrainian citizens, as well as the public authorities, is connected with Europe and the values it promotes, these problems need to be resolved already in the near future.

This paper introduces Memorial Tombs in the context of memorial compound tomb types for the aristocrat of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802- 1945) in Southern Vietnam in The Medieval and Post-Medieval Time. This type was of rare tangible and intangible cultural heritage at the time (1.5%). These heritage assets are very valuable because they are associated with historical figures – “state founders, meritorious officials” in country expansion time “The Great South Unification (Dai Nam Nhat thong)”. In addition to the typical complex of mausoleums in Southern Vietnam (Nguyen Huu Canh, 1650-1700; Le Van Duyet, 1763-1832; Le Van Phong, Truong Tan Buu, 1752-1827 or Tran Van Hoc, Phan Tan Huynh, Huynh Van Tu, and "Sir Nhieu Loc"), the authors studied Vo Tanh mausoleum at both Hoang De (emperor) and Gia Dinh (emperor) citadels, and the mausoleum of his warmates related to the last and biggest-scaled sea fight between the Nguyen dynasty’s army and the Tay Son insurgent army on Thi Nai lagoon in 1801 (Vo Di Nguy, 1745-1801; Ngo Tung Chau; Thu Ngoc Hau, etc.). In our opinion, the presence of memorial tomb types of Vo Tanh and his warmates – historic-cultural-artistic heritage sites of national/provincial levels in Southern Vietnam relating the honoring of heroes who “wholeheartedly served the King, defended the country, saved the people” in the history of country expansion “Towards the South” in medieval and post-medieval times. They contribute to the moulding of prominent features of the comtemporary Southerners’ personality. Those historical stories of the Southern heroes are preserved and worshipped by their descendants bearing in mind the Vietnamese way of life “praising the bridge carrying one over” and pay homage to ancestors for their nation-building service.

The city of Cordoba (Spain) stands out due to the fact that it has different inscriptions both in the List of World Heritage Sites and the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (LICH) of UNESCO. In 2012 the Fiesta of the Patios was inscribed on the LICH. Currently, this event held during two weeks in May involves visits by the public to traditional dwellings. This event is becoming a magnet for tourists from outside the city and has established itself as a further tourist attraction, with the risk that it may lose part of its authenticity. This paper aims to use the hedonic price methodology to examine the externalities deriving from the “Fiesta” in order to verify whether the possible benefits/disadvantages of its existence are capitalised in real estate prices and quantify these effects. The results indicate that the “Fiesta” constitutes an added value for housing properties.

The article discusses the Australian heritage sites as a resource base for the introduction of new tourist destinations. The relevance of the study of Australian tourism resources related to the increase in tourist flow, the prospects for the development of various types of tourism and the growing interest Ukrainian tourists are taking in this country is substantiated. The significant tourist potential of the country, the uniqueness and specificity of its components are highlighted: natural (primarily, vegetation and wildlife, as well as relief and climate), historical and cultural objects.It is noted the historical and cultural potential deserves to be in greater demand, because a large number of objects of historical and cultural heritage retain and disseminate authentic information about the historical past of the country, its ethnic, cultural characteristics and traditions. The purpose of the work is to explore the distribution of various heritage objects within the states and territories of Australia as an important resource for the development of various types of tourism. The database of the research is the information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the website of the Ministry of Environment and Energy. The paper analyses and assesses the number, composition, and degree of diversity of heritage sites and theirlocations on the territory of administrative units. The study was completed using methods of mapping, geographical analysis, information analysis techniques, namely the calculation of the entropy index. It was found that the regions of Australia provide outstanding diverse and unique resources, which creates preconditions for the development of new tourist destinations and the further growth of the tourism industry. The states and territories with the largest number and diverse composition of heritage sites and significant potential opportunities for the development of various types of tourism are identified. It was noted that Australia is a new active tourist destination for Ukrainian tourists that has significant prospects. Inaddition to the classic excursion routes and visits to wildlife parks, there are popular combined routes such as: excursion program with a beach holiday; combination of excursions with active tourism; professional training programs for agricultural workers combined with visiting heritage sites and beach recreation.New tourist routes are associated with the development of author’s tours with a unique program in accordance with the features of the country and the wishes of tourists and the wider use of the country’s historical and cultural heritage.
