Rethinking Conservation
Abstract
The study primarily focuses on the importance of heritage conservation as a process parallel with the overall development of a region and the formation of identity of the host community, who otherwise remain indifferent to it. It accounts for the role of general public along with various organizations as a key stakeholder in the heritage conservation projects. Light has been thrown on how public awareness programmes and incentives for persuasion of local public participation in conservation contribute in enhancing the knowledge base of the people regarding their traditions along with forming a sense of identity and responsibility among them. The research includes case studies along with student level surveys and analyses based on which conclusions have been drawn on the perception and awareness levels of different categories of people to architectural heritage conservation.References (18)
