“…This represents the main challenge of today's cultural institutions: combining the intersections between heritage, technology and experience with social, political and developmental issues: and this is relevant for ICH too, that is a paradigmatic field for exploring the potential of an approach that goes beyond documentation and exhibition (Meissner, 2021). In this regard, design can be a crucial player.…”

This paper aims at presenting innovative design strategies for the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) 'activation' in the age of 'heritage continuum'. The principal claim is that, in response to an age of crisis and turbulence (climate change, conflicts, post-pandemic recovery) and to the nowadays scenario of digital transformation (metaverse and phygital and smart reality) "caring ICH" means, more than a simple revitalisation, making it sustainably practiced or, rather, 'activated' to bring value, creativity and innovation, being a guiding resource for promoting social and economic development, more inclusive societies and intercultural understanding and collaboration, and new cultural production and co-creation. For doing this, ICH needs to be approached 'designerly' as a cultural ecosystem that binds together cultural contents, museums, cultural institutions, archives and digital repository, territory, communities, users and stakeholders. Moreover it is crucial pushing creatively forward beyond stereotypes the concept of valorization from mere conservation to an updated idea of safeguarding and taking care, addressing the lively and evolving nature of ICT, namely its adaptation and transformation, in order to allow for ICH to be re-enacted and brought back into use and meaning for contemporary society.After a critical literature review on design for Cultural Heritage, the essay focuses on the potentialities of the actual scenario of ICH valorisation, and then, identifying and analysing interesting case studies and using theoretical reflection, presents some strategies to sustainably address the global challenges of the ICH activation (experience, interpretation, practice and re-use) to come.

Background and objective: Recent research on cultural heritage has highlighted resident participation as an ideal method of managing local cultural heritages. However, many studies have raised questions about the practicality of this approach. This research undertook case studies of Jeoji-ri and Handong-ri on Jeju Island, South Korea focusing on how resident participation increases based on the related stakeholders, local heritages (natural, tangible and intangible cultural heritages) and social capital (trust and networking).Methods: Sixty-one completed questionnaires were collected from adult residents of both villages (28 from Jeoji-ri and 33 from Handong-ri), and the resulting quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and the R programming language. In addition, two semi-structured interviews were undertaken with the leaders of each village, and the resulting qualitative data were analysed thematically.Results: The study found that the village leaders of Handong-ri and Jeoji-ri successfully encouraged trust and participation among village residents, suggesting that resident participation is largely influenced by the relevant stakeholders and the social capital of residents. Networking and intangible cultural heritages, such as rituals or village oral traditions, positively influence resident participation.Conclusion: This study suggests that the active utilisation of intangible cultural heritages and the networks developed by cooperating with essential stakeholders are vital for encouraging resident participation.
