Community involvement in built heritage
conservation: a learning tool for local
development
Ronchi explores the topic of community involvement in built heritage
conservation, with the aim to identify the main success factors which can
emphasize mutual potentialities between conservation processes and local
sustainable development. A case study (the rehabilitation of the old town of
Birzeit, State of Palestine) is discussed, in which the role of local
communities was emphasized through various strategies, including
awareness-raising campaigns, public consultations during the planning phases
and direct engagement in the practice of conservation through voluntary work
and professional training. In the discussion, particular relevance is given to
the organisational set-up of the project, and effectiveness and sustainability
of preventive conservation are highlighted.
