In order to remain alive and relevant, cultural heritage sites have to react and adapt to changing context in a coherent manner, i.e., in a way that is in line with the memory and identity of the place. The incoherent changes, i.e., the transformations that according to the local community do not agree with a character of a place, can be destructive for the long-term vitality of urban cultural heritage. In this study, we test which factors influence social acceptance of different alternations within the context of urban historical gardens that might, in turn, ensure the resilience of the place. Our study focuses on the intangible qualities of the place measured by intrinsic value, perceived essentialism and anti-essentialism as important predictors shaping the response to change. The correlational study was conducted using an online questionnaire designed to empirically grasp intangible qualities of cultural heritage sites. Five hundred twenty-nine responses were included in the analysis. The study shows that perceived historic value, inherent value (uniqueness and importance of the place) and (anti-)essentialist character of a place capture the differences between parks well and enables the finding of interventions that are coherent with a site’s genius loci. Measuring intangible qualities of urban gardens can help to design changes that find higher approval among local community members and users of the site. We discuss how the analysis of an intrinsic value and essentialism allows for planning better spatial interventions that align with the human-centered approach to urban development.

   Tansen is renowned for its natural settings, historic buildings and a living cultural heritage that have remained, from medieval period until now. By UNWTO statistics,internationally, cultural tourism comprises 39% of the total tourism arrivals. This reaffirms that offering greater access to the cultural and heritage assets would give Tansen a competitive edge over the other tourist destinations and increase its attractiveness as a top tourist destination in Nepal. This article is related to study of how the heritage sites could be revived to make the cultural heritage tourism sustainable and regain Tansen’s economic vibrancy that has been depleting in the recent times. The purpose of the study is to examine the current state of the cultural heritage management in Tansen, to examine the prospect of revitalizing the cultural heritage assets and; to examine the role of the local communities in these aspects. The methods used in the study were site observations, a key informant interview of experts including the city Mayor, tourism entrepreneurs, site mangers and opinion survey of tourists and the local community resident. The study shows that local population has a positive opinion and initial enthusiasm on the emerging tourist arrivals after the restoration of Rani Mahal, but their role is marginalized in the process. This is the key proposition to start an initiative for the local communities to actively participate in tourism development projects. ‘Revitalizing the Rani Mahal heritage’ launched through the Public Private Partnership with support from UNESCO could build the trust amongst the high end international as well as domestic tourist and attract more investments to conserve, protect and promote the heritage capital stocks for the Tansen tourism development.

AbstractSimon (2010:187) notes that the purpose of co-creative community projects is “to give voice and be responsive to the needs and interests of local community members; to provide a place for community engagement and dialogue; and to help participants develop skills that will support their own individual and community goals.” This paper explores the role that co-creation currently plays in digital public archaeology and discusses how co-creative methods can inform broader archaeological digital engagement efforts. It begins by placing co-creation in its proper context in order to demonstrate its unique characteristics, its value, and how it complicates approaches used in other types of archaeological engagement projects, such as Open Access initiatives. The discussion then turns to evaluating its impact and the broader need to measure success in digital public engagement projects. A discussion of research from the archaeology and the cultural heritage sectors provides examples of evaluation metrics and methods for assessing digital public archaeology projects. The paper concludes by suggesting that all digital engagement projects can benefit from incorporating some of the principles that are inherently part of co-creative methods but that not all archaeological digital engagement projects should strive to be completely co-creative.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a Educação Patrimonial como processo educativo e de valorização na construção do conhecimento individual e coletivo, por intermédio da participação efetiva das comunidades, que detém as diversas referências culturais dos locais nos quais habitam e convivem, tendo como pressuposto que a Educação Patrimonial está situada na confluência entre a educação, a memória, a cultura, o patrimônio e a preservação, por meio da conscientização de crianças, de jovens e de adultos. A pesquisa bibliográfica descritiva com enfoque qualitativo na análise de artigos contemporâneos e clássicos aborda a educação patrimonial e o ensino no Brasil, tendo como aporte o Porto Geral de Cuiabá como patrimônio histórico-cultural, um sítio arquitetônico construído no início do século XVIII e que se mantém abandonado em visível degradação, necessitando passar por um processo de revitalização, via conscientização das autoridades e da comunidade local. Foram realizadas observações in loco e análise direta registrando a situação dos imóveis. Será com práticas educacionais transformadoras, que tenham por base determinados bens ou manifestações consideradas patrimônio cultural, que o desenvolvimento das conservações se concretizará. Dentro deste objetivo, questiona-se: quais as relações da Educação Patrimonial com o ensino? Objetiva-se perceber quais as relações da Educação Patrimonial nos diversos espaços de ensino-aprendizagem no país, enfatizando a percepção material e imaterial, tendo como referência o conjunto arquitetônico histórico do Porto de Cuiabá-MT. A oportunidade do contato com o Patrimônio Histórico por meio da Educação Patrimonial no Ensino se apresenta como um caminho oportuno para o despertar de um novo olhar sobre o patrimônio histórico-cultural e a sua importância para a compreensão da história. Palavras-chave: Educação Patrimonial. Ensino. Patrimônio Histórico. Abstract The purpose of this article is to present Patrimonial Education as an educational and valorization process in the construction of individual and collective knowledge, through the effective participation of the communities that hold the diverse cultural references of the places where they dwell  and live together, assuming that Education Patrimonial is situated at the confluence among  education, memory, culture, heritage and preservation, through the children’s , youth’s and adults’ awareness.

AbstractThis paper analyzes the Peruvian highland tradition of Takanakuy, a public brawling ritual occurring each Christmas to resolve conflicts between local community members. We argue that Takanakuy provides an effective way for locals to resolve disputes that Peru's formal judicial system is unable or unwilling to settle. Using insights from ethnographic fieldwork, journalistic articles, reports, and academic sources, we find that brawling during Takanakuy encourages social cooperation by preventing potential violence and offering community members a credible mechanism of law enforcement in an orderly fashion with social acceptance.
