“…Citizen science is an approach whereby volunteers are involved in a research project, according to a preestablished level of engagement, which often includes collecting data and working towards the project aim. Rivera-Collazo and colleagues [35] have established that citizen scientists may be contributors, collaborators, or co-creators. The community members involved in CHICC were invited to collect and record data (contributor) and make decisions in relation to the data and its use (collaborator); however, they did not determine the project's aims (co-creator).…”

“…Although it is gaining popularity in heritage studies, it is not without its limitations (see overviews in [33,34]). There is varying consensus on appropriate levels of participation; Rivera-Collazo [35] and colleagues have established citizen scientist categorises, including contributor, collaborator, or co-creator. CHICC draws upon two of these three models: contributor and collaborator (Figure 1).…”

Upscaling Local Adaptive Heritage Practices to Internationally Designated Heritage Sites

World Heritage Sites can face an onslaught of risks from high tourist numbers, climate changes, the impacts of conflict and war, and static management practices. These sites have been ascribed a value that is considered both outstanding and universal (OUV) and as such they are placed at a higher prioritisation than all other heritage sites. The aim of this listing is to ensure their protection for future generations. Yet, the management practices enacted under this preservation mandate can be reactive rather than proactive and reflective, overly concerned with maintaining the status quo, and restricted by a complexity of national and international regulations and stakeholders. We here introduce a local-scale, community-driven heritage project, called CHICC, that offers, we argue, a useful insight into management practices that may be upscaled to internationally designated sites. Although this is not a blueprint to fit all heritage needs, some of the fundamental intentions embedded within CHICC can and perhaps should be adopted in the approaches to internationally designated site management. These include inclusivity with the local community as a priority stakeholder, a deeper understanding of the site including its future risks, consideration of the wider heritage landscape, and greater incorporation of heritage dynamism. Through analysing and evaluating the case study project, this conceptual chapter argues that adaptive heritage practices are underway in some local-scale contexts, and this can be a useful template for advancing the management of World Heritage Sites.

“…Effective relationships with communities have supported not only the recording of heritage, returning it to the living memory of colonized communities, but also the importance of climate engagement and activism, as shown in cases in Alaska (Hillerdal, Knecht, and Jones 2019 ; Knecht and Jones 2019 and Puerto Rico (Rivera‐Collazo 2021 ; Rivera‐Collazo et al. 2020 ).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic offered humanity a portal through which we could break with the past and imagine our world anew. This article reviews how over the course of 2020, a series of intersecting crises at the nexus of racism, settler colonialism, climate change, and sexual harassment have prompted acts of resistance and care in the field of archaeology. Throughout the article, we provide concrete suggestions as to how we can continue the work of movements begun over the course of the past year to improve dynamics within our field and use the lessons from our field to improve life for all people in the world and for our planet. [ resistance, care, COVID‐19, 2020, climate change, #MeToo, restorative justice ]

“…De igual manera, es una herramienta de apropiación social a partir de la cual pueden surgir más iniciativas en torno a la investigación, gestión o divulgación del patrimonio. Ejemplos de esto se pueden observar en los proyectos de ciudadanos científicos, en los cuales se busca que las comunidades participen en tres niveles: contribuidor, colaborador, co-creador (Rivera-Collazo et al 2020). Para lograr este objetivo, el inventario debe integrar no solo los datos básicos de los complejos industriales, sino también un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) colaborativo (Figura 4) en el que las personas tengan la posibilidad de brindar su propia información, a partir de sus diferentes vivencias o desde su memoria individual y colectiva.…”

El impacto producido por los grandes avances industriales en diferentes partes del mundo se manifestó en distintos contextos de Colombia que adaptaron y/o transformaron el espacio para la producción en masa de los diversos bienes utilizados por la sociedad. En consecuencia, el Patrimonio Industrial surgió de la necesidad de valorizar dichas manifestaciones materiales e inmateriales, como memorias de la industrialización. El objetivo del presente artículo de revisión crítica radica en discutir alrededor de los retos y las oportunidades que ofrece el Patrimonio Industrial en Colombia para su estudio, manejo y gestión. Esto, por un lado, a partir de un análisis del estudio de este patrimonio en Colombia, abordando las aproximaciones a la materia, así como las perspectivas y oportunidades recopiladas desde las áreas del conocimiento. Por otro lado, reflexionando sobre el devenir de este patrimonio y discutiendo algunas propuestas locales para su manejo y gestión. No obstante, la conservación de este patrimonio se encuentra sometida a complejos desafíos debido a las presiones sociales de diversas índoles que lo rodean, así como a la ausencia de políticas culturales sólidas de protección.
