In the summer of 2016, the Havana’s Historian Office and the Cultural Heritage Management research group of the Complutense University of Madrid carried out a field study and survey of the inhabitants of Old Havana. The objective was to identify the problems and necessities of the respected people, but in relation to their Cultural Heritage. Havana’s heritage management plan has been a paradigm of community involvement and participation for decades. The locals living in the city are aware of the importance of their heritage, they value it and it is part of their lives. However, there is also a growing scepticism among World Heritage Status of the city, the increasing mass tourism and the priorities on the restauration of buildings. A survey was carried out among different neighbours in the city that faced different realities and paradigms when it came to the nature of their heritage and the management of it. The survey focused on the perception of the people on the situation, not only their opinion on how the heritage was being managed, but also on how it influenced their lives. The views on the World Heritage defined basically two very different realities: the proud Havana, the one where the development is bringing benefits (cultural, economic, aesthetical…) and the sceptic one, the ones that wonder how a mess such as Old Havana could be heritage of humankind, when it is not local heritage.

The University

<p>Brisbane's major football venue, Lang Park, is undergoing a $280 million redevelopment. As part of this project the University of Queensland Archaeological Services Unit (UQASU) developed a cultural heritage management plan for the site. UQASU identified that the Lang Park site once housed a number of historic cemeteries, dating from the 1840s, and an early brick drain. These were assessed to be of high cultural heritage significance, and in 2000 UQASU formulated policies and strategies for their management. In 2001, UQASU began the salvage of those parts of the culturally significant elements that were to be deleteriously affected by earthworks and building activity. To date 397 burials have been exhumed.</p>

Discursive Patterns

Disencumbered from their historical conditions and rehashed in different discursive patterns, symbols outlined in the previous chapters re-emerge today in the controversial debate on the cultural heritage of the Dolomites. This debate, critically revived after their inscription in the World Heritage List, subtly exploits these ‘neutral’ symbols when the economy of mass tourism and the internationalization of leisure appear to overshadow ethnic and national divides. Aspects of this most recent recirculation of symbols are presented through fieldwork conducted at the Messner Mountain Museums in South Tyrol. While perfectly aware of crossing multiple ethnic and political borders, Victorian travellers were, instead, mainly concerned with a picturesque version of the Dolomites that was translatable into their own language and heritage.

One of the earliest mitigations of the horrors of war, particularly in its incidence upon private individuals, was the custom of sparing the inhabitants of a surrendered city in their persons and property, instead of subjecting them to the rapine and pillage which usually followed a capture by storm. Even the Mosaic Code made this exception in the midst of its barbarities, although the doomed cities of Canaan were excluded from the benefits of the exception. Both the general savagery and the one humane departure from it are well exemplified by verses ten to sixteen of the twentieth chapter of Deuteronomy: 10. When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. 11. And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee,,then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. 12. And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it. 13. And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword; 14. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. 15. Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. 16. But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.

The One

The various LNG projects in Queensland presented industry and traditional owners with a unique set of circumstances. On the one hand, LNG proponents were required to engage individually with traditional owner groups regarding cultural heritage. On the other hand, traditional owner groups were dealing with a variety of LNG proponents each seeking agreement about the same thing but in different ways. The paper examines this issue, considers a number of the pitfalls, and asks whether there is a case for standardising the management of cultural heritage. The current review of the Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 appears to support this approach. This paper will also look at the various ways cultural heritage has been managed in Queensland, as well as in other states and territories, and assesses whether there really is a better way for proponents in the oil and gas industry to manage this issue. Paul Travers was responsible for developing Queensland’s Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003. He also drafted the Aboriginal cultural heritage duty of care and cultural heritage management guidelines under the legislation. He has worked with LNG proponents and traditional owners in relation to LNG projects in Queensland. He brings an interesting and unique take on the essential elements of successful cultural heritage management.

Recently, gastronomy has become one of the most important tourist attractions for cities as well as for rural areas. In this respect, tourists look for authenticity in the gastronomy heritage of these destinations, making it, thusly, a motivation for visiting the place. This research presents a segmentation of the tourists who visit Sucre (Bolivia), on the basis of a higher or lower interest in the gastronomy of the city. The results extracted from the research highlight the existence of three tourist segments with different attitudes regarding gastronomic experiences. Additionally, it notes the importance that a specific type of tourist places on discovering and better understanding the gastronomy of a city as part of its cultural heritage.
