| Abstract | Geographies of health challenge researchers to attend to the positive effects of occupying, creating and using all kinds of spaces, including green space and more recently blue space. Attention to the spaces of community-based heritage conservation has largely gone unexplored within the health geography literature. This paper examines the personal motivations and impacts associated with peoples growing interest in local heritage groups. It draws on questionnaires and interviews from a recent study with such groups and a conceptual mapping of their routes and flows. The findings reveal a rich array of positive benefits on the participants social wellbeing with/in the community. These include personal enrichment, social learning, satisfaction from sharing the heritage products with others, and less anxiety about the present. These positive effects were tempered by needing to face and overcome challenging effects associated with running the projects thus opening up an extension to health-enabling spaces debates. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. |
Heritage, health and place: The legacies of local community-based heritage conservation on social wellbeing. These positive effects were tempered by needing to face and overcome challenging effects as- sociated with running the projects thus opening up an extension to health-enabling spaces debates. However the heritage of these spaces is rarely the motivating factor behind the health-promoting effects. While these therapeutic experiences are being found in the reviews of the heritage funding bodies these have largely been absent in health geography literature or more widely within public health promotion literature. Moreover de- spite the heritage projects being predominantly led by older people many in the wider community were able to participate and benet too through the active interpretation of exhibits and other products attached to the history of their local area and through attending talks and school workshops.
