Balancing use and preservation in cultural heritage management

Management Challenges at Film-Induced Tourism Heritage Attractions

“…Carter and Grimwade (1997) argue that restricting access provides only a temporary solution to the issue of access and conservation. The challenge lies not in the restriction of visitor access but in maintaining HVA accessibility in a manner that sustains and protects their significance and, where appropriate, enhances their value (Negi, 2012).…”

“…Finding the balance between visitor access, conservation and the protection of resources is an additional ongoing dilemma that managers of HVAs need to face (Carter & Grimwade, 1997;Leask, 2010;Li Wu & Cai, 2008;Timothy & Boyd, 2003), a dilemma which often includes a concern about commodification (Bunten 2008; Fyall & Rakić, 2006;Halewood & Hannam, 2001;Ho & McKercher, 2004).

“…However, there is insufficient insight on the mechanism to effectively promote local people's awareness towards the preservation of Shirakawa-go. In the study of balancing use and preservation in cultural heritage management, Carter and Grimwade (1997) provided extensive recommendations in the form of site management tools for management or policy decision. One of the strategic actions involves "promoting the values of the place, visit opportunities and protective behaviour" through advertisement communication (Carter & Grimwade, 1997).…”
