“…As Olya and Gavilyan (2017) reported, the role of factors (e.g., perceived costs) for predicting SSTD depends on the conditions of other antecedents (e.g., community involvement, attachment, and perceived benefits). These results confirm the complex nature of community-based management of cultural heritage sites (Kwon, 2017;. These findings suggest that strategic action plans for the sustainable management of heritage sites should be customized based on the various perceptions of different community groups, as suggested by Hodges and Watson (2000) and Kwon (2017).…”

This empirical study investigates the causal factors affecting support for sustainable tourism development (SSTD) at a world heritage site in Bisotun, a city in Kermanshah Province, Iran. It uses social exchange theory to assess the effects of community attachment, community involvement, perceived benefits, and perceived costs on SSTD. Using social identity theory, it identifies whether these associations significantly vary across four different community groups: farmers, businesses, handicraft sellers, and local government employees. A questionnaire was administered to 489 respondents from these four community groups in the Bisotun area. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling and invariance metric tests. The results revealed that community attachment, community involvement, and perceived benefits had a significant and positive impact on SSTD. The results of the metric invariance tests show that the effects of community attachment and community involvement on SSTD varied across the community groups at this world heritage site located in a developing country. The study discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of these findings.

“…In previous research results, when ICH was developed for tourism, its value was more reflected in economic value (Jin, Hu, et al, 2017; Kim et al, 2007), social value (X. Y. Yang, 2018), aesthetic value (artistic value; Howard, 2016; Lombardo et al, 2016), historical value (Kwon, 2017; Suarez et al, 2016), spiritual value (entertainment value; Davis et al, 2010; González, 2008) and symbolic value (Zhang et al, 2008). We referenced the results of Aratani et al (2000), Throsby (2010) and Velthuis (2008) in creating the theoretical framework of this study and divided the inheritors’ cognitions of the value of ICH into six dimensions: economic value, social value, aesthetic value, historical value, spiritual value, and symbolic value.…”

“…In view of previous achievements, ICH can include social value (X. Y. Yang, 2018), historical value (Kwon, 2017; Suarez et al, 2016), aesthetic value (Howard, 2016; Lombardo et al, 2016), spiritual value (Davis et al, 2010; González, 2008), symbolic value (Zhang et al, 2008), educational value (Foster & Gilman, 2015), and scientific value (Gilman, 2015; Sedita, 2012). From the perspective of value measurement, cultural value is not the same as economic value, as economic value is easier to quantify, and cultural value is more qualitative (del Barrio et al, 2012).…”

How is Intangible Cultural Heritage Valued in the Eyes of Inheritors? Scale Development and Validation

et al. 2020

Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is an important part of human civilization and a major tourism resource type. In the ICH tourism development process, many stakeholders are involved. Although inheritors have a core position in this group, there is not enough research investigating the sustainable development of ICH tourism from the perspective of inheritors. Since value cognition is the basis that guides people’s behaviors, the value cognition of the ICH inheritors might be the starting point to understanding their behaviors. Considering this context, the main aim of this research is to describe the development and validation of a scale to assess the cognition values by ICH inheritors. By generating items, purifying, examining the scale’s dimensionality, and evaluating reliability and validity, a 25-item instrument is developed. The article concludes with a discussion of potential applications of the scale.

“…Firstly, a celebration based on holy and cultural traditions and customs; secondly, celebrations of important people or an event and cultivation of an important crop; and lastly, public fairs and feasts. In relation to this, Kwon (2016) indicates that the designation of ritual practice as Intangible Cultural Heritage by the Pamson Village, South Korea in 1999 took place because the villagers foresaw their ritual practice as a living tradition which coexisting with the history of their village. The similarity of the values held by the Gawai Antu festival with Pamson Village in South Korea put this ritual as part of the intangible cultural heritage.…”

Gawai Antu is a festival celebrated by the Iban in Sarawak to commemorate the dead soul who has passed away since the last Gawai Antu feast. However, contrary to the main harvest festival, Gawai Dayak, this celebration is less likely to be celebrated among the Ibans due to various reasons. This research aims to investigate the disappearance of Gawai Antu and determine its sustainability. This research could significantly contribute to the Iban community and to the state government of Sarawak where it could help in building greater understanding on the factors affecting the disappearance of Gawai Antu and suggestions on how to revive and sustain the festival. The study is focused on youths in Sarawak with the sample of the study was 88 youths in Kuching. This research is based on data obtained from a survey questionnaire and was analysed by using descriptive analysis. The data were gathered using Stratified Random Sampling and Convenience Sampling Technique. The research suggested that the extinction of Gawai Antu celebration is linked to modernization, religious barrier with cost and time constraints. The results also suggested that the three dimensions of sustainability of Gawai Antu are important to curb the disappearance of this festival namely, collaboration via partnerships, preservation and protection of the festival, and keeping the quality and authenticity of the festival. As this celebration is one of its kind, it would be recommended that production of more credible sources, creating practical exhibitions, and cooperation between relevant agencies would help in keeping the festival alive.
