“…A mechanism characterised as 'central initiative and local participation' is employed to create ICH and ICH Inheritors lists at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels (Kuah and Liu 2016). Inheritors are 'carriers' of ICH and have had this expertise passed down through their family and are often in a long line of craft makers who bear the responsibility for the inheritance and protection of national ICH practices through recognised representativeness, authority and influence (Su et al 2020). The ICH Inheritor programme is a national-level initiative which 'aims at protecting traditional culture while also recognizing outstanding individuals in order to encourage more people to become involved in promoting and developing China's intangible cultural heritage' (Beijing Tourism 2018).…”

Through active involvement in UNESCO’s ICH (Intangible Cultural Heritage) programme, China has developed its own framework to support traditional making practices. To examine the ‘characteristics’ of heritage crafts preservation in China, we undertook empirical research in the Yellow River basin. Our research involved in-depth observations and key informant interviews with a range of highly accomplished craftspeople who have inherited their particular expertise from their family and have been officially designated ICH Inheritors. Through our qualitative research with inheritors, a businessperson and a government official, we identified various support mechanisms employed by the Chinese government that aim to protect traditional culture while also recognising outstanding individuals. We also found that ICH Inheritors play an important role in raising cultural awareness and enhancing cultural confidence through their creative activities and making practices, craft businesses and transfer of expertise. Based on the findings, potential areas where designers may collaborate with inheritors were identified.

“…Centred on built heritage, Cai and Lu [164] determined aspects affecting residents' social integration in historic blocks, while Judson et al [165] analyse how residents balance energy needs and heritage significance in renovation processes. A significant number of publications about residents (13%) target intangible cultural heritage (ICH), such as the research of Su, Li, Wu and Yao [166] which develops a scale to measure inheritors' perception of ICH value, or the research of Yuan, Lun, He et al [167] which explores community perspectives on traditional ecological knowledge. The publications referring to other stakeholders (from business owners to decision-makers) are presented in Table 4.…”

Going beyond Good Intentions for the Sustainable Conservation of Built Heritage: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2020

This research addresses the performance gap between intentions towards a sustainable conservation of built heritage and its actual implementation. Socio-psychological models of human behaviour, such as the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), have been studying this dissonance between intention and behaviour, and allow to recognise latent critical factors. This paper provides a systematic literature review of research publications on the intersection of the topics of human behaviour, heritage, and sustainability. It aims to analyse how the TPB has been used in the field of sustainable conservation of built heritage. The studies are categorised according to the type of heritage, main actors targeted, aims, and methodology. A total of 140 publications were analysed. The results show a recent field of research. In the domain of built heritage conservation, behaviour is commonly addressed as a synonym of performance, targeting the building itself. Most publications relating socio-psychological constructs of behaviour and heritage sustainability can be found in the tourism and hospitality field, focusing on tourists’ and residents’ behaviours. The review shows that practitioners are still absent from the literature. However, research addressing other stakeholders shows that the theoretical framework can play an important role in the implementation of sustainable conservation practices in the built heritage.

“…Hierarchical component models have been habitually used to establish measurement scales in tourism and hospitality, in studies such as Cho, Joo, and Woosnam (2020), Hung and Petrick (2010), Su, Li, Wu, and Yao (2020), Ying and Wen (2019). Most of these use a reflective approach for both, lower-and higher-order components.…”

A Reflective–Formative Hierarchical Component Model of Perceived Authenticity

Discussions on authenticity have become prominent in tourism research, particularly in the context of heritage tourism and quantitative approaches have become popular methods to investigate authenticity, especially from a tourist’s perspective. Previous studies, however, have failed to include multiple forms of authenticity into a single quantitative scale, as well as to use a formative approach for its measures. This study develops a comprehensive and reliable scale of authenticity, considering its multidimensional complexity and its formative nature. A reflective–formative hierarchical component model of perceived authenticity toward heritage experience, including three lower order components of objective authenticity, existential authenticity, and constructive authenticity, is proposed. The scale of authenticity also indicates a strong predictive power over tourist satisfaction.
