“…For example, Machu Picchu in Peru is an ancient Inca fortress in the Peruvian Andes. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a popular destination for heritage tourism due to its well-preserved ruins, stunning location, and rich cultural significance (Baumhackl, 2019). Then, Angkor Wat, a temple complex in Cambodia, is one of Southeast Asia's most important archaeological sites.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand community participation in the preservation activities of historical heritage. This research was conducted on the community of Garut district in West Java, Indonesia, focusing on the handling of local cultural products from the past that have become tourist attractions. Theoretical Framework: In this research, the theory of participation from Sherry R Arnstein is used, which divides into eight sub-levels and three main levels: low or non-participation level, moderate or tokenism level, and high participation or citizen power level. Research Method: The method used in this study is a case study that examines cultural heritage in the form of objects, locations, manuscripts, and texts with historical significance. Our investigation includes the Holy Tomb of Godog, Holy Tomb of Sunan Cipancar, Sacred Tomb of Raden Papak, and Prehistoric Site of Pasir Lulumpang. Research Findings: Community involvement in the preservation of ancient manuscripts is only carried out by the owners of the manuscripts. The general public is unable to participate due to difficult access, as the manuscript owners are not open to the wider community. Additionally, there is a role for families in preserving ancestral heritage, which includes annual routine activities and forming associations with descendants of the family tomb. Conclusion: Community participation in the preservation activities of historical heritage seems to be low. This is evident from the many historical heritages still kept within the community and not yet reported to the government or other relevant parties for the preservation of these historical values.

“…However, these issues aren't specific to this side of the world, many cities and historical spaces are been slowly or actively destroyed by tourism. For instance, Machu Picchu (Baumhackl, 2019) and Maya Bay (Koh & Fakfare, 2019) are constantly put in jeopardy by tourism flows and had to take drastic measures; to close the sites while nature recuperates and residents of cities nearby to eventually 'breath'.…”

The Impacts of Tourism on Cultural Identity on Lisbon Historic Neighbourhoods

2020

In the past last decades tourism was long perceived as a solution to remediate to economic crisis and recessions, while the impacts were secondary and weren’t qualified. Focusing of the consequences of tourism development, the identities of historic urban areas were constantly been neglected as essential features and symbols of their attractiveness. However, long before tourism, modifications of cities spatial structures and social geography were conducted by governments as strategies to repopulate certain urban areas abandoned for historical or economic reasons. For instance, through gentrification, urban rehabilitation or revitalisation, the urban structures became more appealing and attracted investments that strengthen local economies. Nevertheless, these transformations have dismantled cultural patterns and were amplified by touristification. This investigation deals with gentrification and urban rehabilitation as precursors of tourism growth and how it influences a neighbourhood’s cultural identity. Using a historic touristic destination as an example gave leverage to the understanding of the repercussions. Lisbon historic neighbourhoods; Alfama, Mouraria and Bairro Alto, influenced our understanding with the active participation of the residents as co-contributors of this research. Findings confronted our pre-existing understandings on tourism growth to the impacts generated on cultural identity.
