Editorial: bridging cultural heritage and sustainable development
Journal of Cultural Heritage …, 2011
Purpose -The paper aims to provide an introduction to the new journal, its scope and papers in the inaugural issue. Design/methodology/approach -The paper introduces the new journal by exploring the normative foundations of cultural heritage management and how this can be used to construct a bridge to processes of sustainable development. In doing so, the rationale is explained for a journal with this specialism, like JCHMSD, including potential areas for research. All this then is linked to the theme and respective papers especially selected for the inaugural issue. Findings -Increasingly the role of cultural heritage in processes of regeneration and sustainable development of cities and regions is being explored, while at the same time the international debate is intensifying as regards a re-orientation of the concept of sustainability and to re-emphasize its meaning in clear and unambiguous terms. In the build-up to the review of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015, the international community by way of UNESCO is promoting the inclusion of culture in the development paradigm. Originality/value -In providing an overview of the state of debate in the fields of cultural heritage management and sustainable development, the paper is useful to the readers of the journal who are interested but have limited knowledge in these fields. It clarifies the focus to those who wish to submit articles to the journal, as well as highlights some potential areas for research.
Cultural heritage as a medium for the establishment of sustainable development
2013
Nowadays the concept of cultural heritage takes on different roles, meanings and appearances, which are the results of the newest postmodern paradigms and contemporary social, cultural and economic situations around the world. The main point of paper is to present the development category of cultural heritage in formulating various contemporary national and regional development strategies for improving the social, economic and cultural way of life of populations. The focus is on analyses of how activities in dealing with intangible heritage can help to establish sustainable development in a local place and the development of sustainable communities. The paper first reflects on methodological issues in education, awareness and uses of intangible heritage for development potential. It then presents some insights gained from a case study from Slovenia, where local residents are becoming aware of new heritage approaches for a better quality of life in future.
Cultural and Natural Heritage as Inputs of Sustainable Planning: A Theoretical Framework
—For some cities like İstanbul, Rome, Paris and Cairo etc. as being the ones having natural and cultural heritage intensively, the most dominant planning data is the heritage itself. If we talk of sustainable planning, we should talk of not only the true planning regarding ecological principles, but also protection and reassesment of cultural and natural heritage at circumstances regarding sustainability, therefore this has to recognized as a true sign of ecological approach. On the other hand, one of the applied tools of Sustainability; " Sustaina ble Planning " as a correspondence of " Sustainable Development " in planning, is meant to use the nature and resources in the name of protecting them, for the sake of caring future generations. Today, World's energy strategies based on solid fuel and petrol, unbalanced resource consumption with least sense, consuming environment negatively, increasing rates at population, consumption and urbanization, the lack of fast regeneration in nature, and many other parameters like the ones above which will remain unmentioned, threaten 'Sustainability' in direct. The purpose of this article, instead of consuming resources in the sense above, is to show of assessing cultural and natural heritages (for being ecological resource in essence and reflecting histo-cultural aggregation of humanity) and of using it as an input, by verifying the feasibility of it to be a paremeter providing-supporting the mentality of ecological planning and cultural sustainability. Sustainable planning must be expected to create principles and decisions regarding to protect-use balance for this heritage which is under the threat and pressure of civic developments. The use of cultural and historical heritage as an argument in Sustainable planning is given as of work and reports, international contracts and reported decisions related to these all are also given as references
A conflict between the preservation of the character of existing historic towns and "change" has formed the central argument for conservation. More recently, heritage has superseded conservation, where marketing of heritage as a product according to the demands of the consumer, mainly tourists, has resulted in the commercialisation of heritage over conservation values. Today, the symbiosis of both tourism and heritage places has become a major objective in the management and planning of historic areas. This article examines the current conflicts among the ideas of conservation, heritage, and tourism and argues for a sustainable approach to the management and planning of heritage places based on a community and culture-led agenda.

Heritage has different developmental potentials that might contribute to the sustainable development of a given area. In terms of sustainable development these potentials are not necessarily economic, but also include social, environmental or cultural aspects. However, heritage by itself rarely holds tangible benefits if it is not properly managed. The key challenge for attaining sustainability is to focus management on a participatory approach, which ensures public participation in the process. The paper argues that a successful and effective management of heritage depends on the people, who must be able to 1) identify the appropriate heritage, 2) link it with key stakeholders and other topics, 3) design it into a proper service, and finally 4) sell the new service to users.
Heritage and sustainable development; bound-partners in a believable future
Two global notions are improving their importance: heritage and sustainable development – obviously involving safeguard and climate changes. New transformations in urban areas are showing the great tension existing among heritage and development needs. Heritage and Sustainable development still need, public interventions with the purpose of implement a virtuous and self standing development strategy. The great Maghreb’s towns will be presented as study case: challenges, chances and realities. It’s largely clear that the main issues to manage heritage and sustainability at urban scale are not any more technical ones. The issue is a global policy able to combine together the countless partial strategies and interests existing in human settlements. Generally speaking, both heritage and sustainability are requesting public strategies and policies; therefore a transformation of general urban actors in advised ones is needed. Keywords: Maghreb, Casablanca, Tunis, Algiers, sustainable development, modern heritage.

Heritage and the Sustainable Development Goals: Policy Guidance for Heritage and Development Actors
2021
Building on doctrinal texts created by ICOMOS global membership, the Policy Guidance document draws upon scientific expertise of the ICOMOS SDGs Working Group and ICOMOS Scientific Committees from all five global regions and all areas of expertise, to illustrate the many ways in which heritage can address the SDGs and demonstrates the potential of harnessing heritage in achieving sustainable development. Grounded in the United Nations’ Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’s five Ps (People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnerships), and in the interrelated nature of the SDGs, the document is intended for heritage and development actors alike. The aim of this Policy Guidance document is twofold: 1) engage development actors and raise awareness of the potential contribution of heritage practices to sustainable development processes; 2) guide ICOMOS members and heritage professionals at large, in adopting a sustainable development perspective in their h...
