With the process of urbanization and post-industrialization, the diversity of regions and their unique cultures have become cultural properties for the competitiveness of cities. The concept of cultural heritage and resources has expanded in recent years. In the past, they were confined to architectural and artistic artifacts, but now, cultural heritage and resources have evolved to include environmental elements, industrial and vernacular construction, urban and rural settlements, and intangible elements related to community activities and ways of life. The community is the carrier of cultural resources and heritage. Cultural heritage sites contribute to the creation of a community’s identity. This multi-layered discussion of community engagements in cultural heritages and resources provides a unique approach to understanding cultural properties as sustainability enablers. This paper intends to go beyond the theoretical assumptions of the role of community cultural resources by studying the target research group, Bukjeong village in Seoul, Korea. The paper focuses on the possibilities of community engagement for sustainable development for urban regeneration. It proposes that cultural sustainability in its broader definition should be derived from the community realities of a particular place or cultural context. This approach must be grounded in the principles of regional networks, urban governance, and community-based activities.

As the urbanization progresses and the post-industrialization accelerates, the diversity of the regions and its unique cultures are cultural properties for the city's competitiveness. The concept of cultural heritages and resources have expanded in these days. In the past it was confined as architectural and artistic artifacts, now cultural heritages and resources have evolved to include environmental elements, industrial and vernacular constructions, urban and rural settlements and intangible elements related to community activities and their ways of life. Community is the carriers of cultural resources and heritages. And the places of the cultural heritages have been contributed to build the community's identities. This multi-layered discussion on the community engagements in cultural heritages and resources provide the unique approach for the cultural properties as sustainability enablers.

“…La mia ricerca si è iscritta quindi nella tradizione dell'antropologia urbana (Hannerz 1992, Low 1999, Jaffe, De Koning 2016, proprio a partire da un'analisi multilivello della complessità caratterizzante la città, concernente pratiche, rappresentazioni, politiche e, almeno parzialmente, dinamiche strutturali. Sfruttando questi punti di osservazione, il quartiere è apparso al centro di un'arena sociale, oggetto di competizioni istituzionali, rivendicazioni contrastanti e narrazioni oppositive; un sistema non equilibrato dunque, caratterizzato, come qualsiasi altro sistema urbano, da funzioni interdipendenti e interessi antagonisti (Signorelli 1996).…”

«Puliamo San Siro»: lottare contro lo stigma territoriale in un quartiere di edilizia popolare di Milano

I quartieri periferici delle città sono spesso più esposti a problemi ambientali rispetto alle aree in cui vivono le élite urbane. Un complesso di edilizia popolare di Milano chiamato San Siro – dove conduco una ricerca etnografica da gennaio 2017 – sembra confermare questa affermazione. Negli ultimi anni lo spazio pubblico del quartiere ha subito un processo di progressivo deterioramento: i rifiuti vengono abbandonati in diversi angoli, le strade sono sporche. L’articolo descriverà come due comitati locali hanno provato ad affrontare questo problema attraverso strategie distinte. Il primo, il Comitato di Quartiere, è formato in maggioranza da un gruppo di anziani italiani; il secondo, il Comitato Abitanti, è invece collegato ai movimenti sociali milanesi che lottano per il «diritto all’abitare». Nonostante le loro diverse visioni, i due comitati perseguono un obiettivo molto simile quando attuano azioni volte a creare uno spazio pubblico “pulito” e “bello”: decostruire lo stigma territoriale e ottenere giustizia spaziale contro la loro marginalizzazione.
