| Aim of the questions was not only to locate heritage values, but also understand that heritage potential assists sustainable development locally and specifically affects communitys well-being. . | In such an approach, knowledge gained from projects, referred to usually as legacy, can be more efficiently incorporated in the institutional capital of heritage organizations and retrofitted into the successive project planning and design processes they undertake. . | At the same time, innovative tools for community-led heritage management, tourism planning and inclusive governance are on the rise. . | It can also significantly improve current practices via producing targeted recommendations for professionals working with communities in such contexts. . | The whole scheme had a special focus on achieving public engagement, expressed through specific objectives for including communities in projects. . | These findings are simply represented in the list Perceptions of the role and contribution of heritage for socially sustainable development, identifying three major ways in which heritage assists local well-being: (1) Heritage supporting economic development: ... from council perspective is about enabling communities to do projects ... economic development, so, improving visitor offer . visiting different parts of Orkney ... . . | Perceptions of the role and contribution of heritage for socially sustainable development: (1) Heritage to support economic development: heritage to support economy based on services and tourism; and heritage to tackle issue of seasonality in interests. . | The qualitative approach we suggest holds potential benefits for informing local-level, heritage micro-policy: asking participants to elicit heritage values and project impacts combined with realizing a community profile in the start of the projects allows mapping impacts on specific target groups with greater certainty, instead of simply listing cumulative impacts, generalizing for the whole of local population. . | At the same time, rich intangible heritage of the area includes traditional dialect, music and customs unique for the locality and the projects within the scheme focus on both tangible and intangible aspects of heritage. . | 4.2 Identifying heritage values It is crucial at this stage to understand that while evaluating the impacts of heritage participation within landscape we need to trace: ( 1) Perception of intrinsic values towards heritage places or intangible heritage that signify roles of heritage for the lives of community and may affect perceived impacts of participation. . | Intrinsic values were mapped here as perceptions of heritage by the different participants, using questions to elicit discussion, like for example What is the most important heritage aspects in (area) for you? . | What is more, empirical studies have showed that enhancing sense of place is in turn important for the socially sustainable development of revitalization projects (Yung and Chan, 2012; Liu and Cheung, 2016), making it key element for successful heritage projects with place-making elements. . | By linking values and community groups that represent the bearers of those heritage values, such an approach opens the way for achieving socially relevant project planning and project design in the heritage sector. . | (I4/M4, Scheme manager) (3) Heritage sustaining wider community in place: Finally, participating in community-led projects was connected to the function of heritage centers by local trusts and associations as community centers, supporting community needs and in the long run potentially assisting in sustaining population in place: . there was all very well having a heritage center . . . | Perceived impacts of heritage to social sustainability via participation were obtained through questions focusing on: specific changes in social behavior, use of social (infra) structures and civic participation (observed or experienced) realized as a result of participants activity in the project as well as changes in appreciation of heritage places evidenced through interactions with those (engagement in protection processes including conservation interpretation documentation, touristic and social use of heritage sites/use of outputs, etc.). . | (I10/ C1 community member-volunteer) . was about getting people out to appreciate heritage and then telling the story of the cultural heritage they d see when they are looking at the landscape, when they experience it . because thats what landscapes are I guess . natural/cultural influences that make that landscape . . . |
