Heritage, Conservation and CommunitiesEngagement, participation and capacity building\nAuthor(s): Gill Chitty\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781472468000, 978-1472468000\nSynopsis\nPublic participation and local community involvement have taken centre stage in heritage practice in recent decades. In contrast with this established position in wider heritage work, public engagement with conservation practice is less well developed. The focus here is on conservation as the practical care of material cultural heritage, with all its associated significance for local people. How can we be more successful in building capacity for local ownership and leadership of heritage conservation projects, as well as improving participative involvement in decisions and in practice?\n\nThis book presents current research and practice in community-led conservation. It illustrates that outcomes of locally-led, active participation show.
