The Athena Knowledge Curation Design for the Historic Environment, Culture, Heritage, and Arts in the United Kingdom
Paradoxically, whilst historic Environment, Culture, Heritage, and Arts (ECHA) organisations curate knowledge for the public, thousands of them lack the required operational knowledge to manage their rapidly changeable and demanding operations. Their management requires extensive up-to-date knowledge, in accessible recorded formats (knowledge artefacts) interacting with human experience. For decades, the ecosystem of interdependent ECHA organisat…
Assessing the dynamic social values of the ‘deep city’: An integrated methodology combining online and offline approaches
This monograph presents findings from original research on urban heritage transformations and advances existing scholarship on three grounds: (1) it offers tested combinations of methods to capture the social values of heritage; (2) it distils the complex, diverse social values generated by urban heritage and revealed by the use of these methods; and (3) it discusses the implications and potential applications of these methods for urban planning.…
Digital twins-enabled heritage buildings management through social dynamics
Purpose Heritage building management serves as a potent catalyst for sustainability, yet it poses a distinctive set of challenges. Achieving a harmonious balance between conserving the building's historical and cultural value and ensuring modern functionality and safety remains a primary concern. The present work proposes a socio-technical approach to the development and use of a digital twin (DT) that will integrate social data related to the us…

Assessing the Long-Covid Impact on Heritage Organisations
The aim of this paper is to understand the long-COVID impact on cultural heritage organisations, and future research needed. COVID-19 was disruptive to cultural heritage socioeconomic activities across the world during 2020 and 2021. Whilst government intervention and changes from physical to digital engagement generally prevailed, the long-COVID impact on cultural heritage organisations, their people and users, buildings, and collections remains…
Assemblage urbanism: The role of heritage in urban placemaking
Purpose The paper explores the potential value of urban assemblage theory as a conceptual framework for understanding the role heritage has in social sustainable urban placemaking. The authors conceptualise urban placemaking as a dynamic and complex social assemblage. Heritage is one of the many dimensions of such a complex and dynamic urban assembly. Based on the approach to urban assemblage theory, the authors aim to uncover how postindustrial …
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency in the World Heritage Site of the Historic Centre of Mexico City
On 26 April 2017, Mexico formally adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda to link the national government to local governments, the private sector, civil society and academia. The restoration of heritage residential buildings (recovery programme) and the construction of new residential buildings aim to create a diversified environment for populations at different economic levels. However, the restoration programme faces conservation chall…
Heritage Dynamics: Understanding and adapting to change in diverse heritage contexts
How does heritage emerge, change, stagnate, disappear and/or revive over time? Should heritage be approached as a 'non-renewable resource' that needs to be sustained for eternity, or as a 'renewable resource' that adapts to change and transformation? Heritage Dynamics deconstructs the dynamic nature of heritage. Heritage as a socio-cultural practice goes through non-linear, continuous lifecycles, where certain factors will be the catalyst for the…
Post-War Cultural Heritage Preservation in Kosovo: Rethinking the Implementation of Ahtisaari Plan Annex V
Current works have focused on the role of urban heritage to sustainable development in postwar cities and have highlighted the significance of participatory and inclusive approaches that involve citizens and key stakeholders in the conservation and regeneration of heritage areas. However, this task is rather complex and challenging, especially in areas inhabited by multiple ethnic groups. Skills in negotiation and building trust are as important …

Senses of Place, Senses of Past: The Case of Antikythera and its Castle, Greece
This article explores local perceptions towards an archaeological site on the Greek island of Antikythera, known as ‘Castle’, within the context of recent calls for the development of the island through heritage tourism. As the identification of such perceptions is a fundamental step in tourism planning we will reflect on data gathered during an ethnographic study funded by the post-doctoral scheme of the Greek State Scholarship Foundation. Our p…
Treating Resistance as Data in Qualitative Interviews
Scientific interviews provide a useful resource for qualitative researchers studying people’s perceptions on contemporary phenomena. This article contributes to the large body of literature on qualitative interviews by investigating a rather common but under-reported pattern in interviews, that of resistance. Resistance is a form of power that the participant maintains and can exercise at any moment. The phenomenon knows various expressions from …
Urban Heritage Dynamics in ‘Heritage-Led Regeneration’: Towards a Sustainable Lifestyles Approach
This paper aims to introduce a novel approach to sustainable heritage-led urban regeneration. More specifically, the paper proposes a new heritage-led urban regeneration paradigm that has communities and sustainable lifestyles at its core. The paper concludes with this approach after analysing current paradigms of heritage-led urban regeneration through system dynamics. We have chosen to analyse though system dynamics a longitudinal study of the …

Drivers of community participation in heritage tourism planning: An empirical investigation
Despite increased emphasis on community participation in tourism planning, our current knowledge of community attitudes and their motivations to engage in such collaborative governance is limited and fragmented. This paper explores the role of heritage values, tourism and community perceptions held by destination hosts as drivers to willingness to participate in heritage tourism development. Such enquiry aims to enhance our current knowledge of c…
Heritage spectacles: The case of Amphipolis excavations during the Greek economic crisis
This article explores the ways in which the archaeological excavations at Amphipolis, Northern Greece, were transformed into a ‘heritage spectacle’ during the summer of 2014. The article argues that the spectacularisation of Amphipolis excavations constituted a powerful, political medium for dis-orientating the wider Greek public from issues related to the severe economic crisis of the country. Although the practice of heritage spectacularisation…
The Politics of Culture and the Culture of Politics: Examining the Role of Politics and Diplomacy in Cultural Property Disputes
This article constitutes the first systematic attempt to synthesize the role of politics as an affecting dynamic during the negotiation of cultural property disputes. The article limits its scope to disputes concerning the ownership of cultural artifacts between states and museums settled through negotiation and to the subsequent claims for the return of the contested objects. The discussion focuses on four ways in which the negotiation process i…
My Historic Environment
MC: Probably because of our different backgrounds — I am a conservator having also studied engineering — we may have slightly different perspectives on the historic environment. So where I started is from the materiality of the historic environment. Early on I wanted to get my hands on material culture and it was only much later, as I moved from being a practising conservator to one dealing with the management of the historical environment, that …

Valuing an Ancient Palaestra in the Centre of Athens: The Public, the Experts, and Aristotle
This paper investigates the values assigned to the archaeological site widely known as ‘Lykeion’ of Aristotle’ — the famous ancient Greek philosopher — by experts and non-experts. The paper revolves around the premise that values should be holistically conceived as both the ‘what’ is valued and the ‘whys’ that drive the ‘whats’. Based on semi-structured interviews and quantitative questionnaires, the diverse values attributed by professionals, su…

Community voices, curatorial choices’: Community consultation for the 1807 exhibitions
This paper argues that community consultation is not always a democratic process as power often resides with museum staff members who decide which community views to accept and which to ignore. Drawing upon a series of semi structured interviews with community members, community officers, curators and other museum staff as part of the 1807 Commemorated project, I attest that consultative group members often experienced frustration, anger, and dis…

Conflicting Discourses on the Construction of the New Acropolis Museum: Past and Present
This paper explores the conflicting discourses that have been raised in regards to the construction of the New Acropolis Museum (NMA) in Athens. The argument, on which the analysis is based, is that the NMA constitutes a 'conflicting terrain' because the meanings, values and uses, which have been attached to the Acropolis Hill and its monuments throughout the history, conflict with each other. Moreover, the paper aims to illustrate that, despite …
