“…We set out to gather partial insights on processes of collective agency to address questions that remain about understanding how communities attempt to thrive under unfavorable policy environments of resource management. We revisited previous literature on challenges encountered in processes of top-down resource management (Borrini-Feyerabend et al 2004;Hirsenberger et al 2019;Markkula, Turunen, and Kantola 2019;Nadasdy 2003Nadasdy , 2005Owuor, Icely, and Newton 2019;Ramcilovic-Suominen 2019;Sloan et al 2019;Spaeder and Harvey 2005). Our premise was that understanding that previous studies present examples that are important for revealing the adversarial effects of state-led natural resource management procedures, there is a need to understand how people find other ways to meet their needs even in these undesirable settings of management.…”

“…Several cases on the top-down management of natural resources seem consistent with the views outlined above. For instance, in countries of former Yugoslavia, the lack of open constructive criticism and feedback between conveners of natural resource management projects and local people has led to ineffectiveness in conserving cultural heritage (Hirsenberger et al 2019). In Laos, ethnic minorities are losing access to fundamental subsistence livelihoods due to the Laos Central government's reinvention of Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (RED+) initiativesto issue funding for forest bureaucracy, large-scale land concessions, and activities of development industries (Ramcilovic-Suominen 2019).…”

“…Both frameworks advocate for the social inclusion of indigenous/local people in development that might have an environmental, social, and cultural impact on local communities. However, these legalities have often not lived up to expectations when state institutions apply policy initiatives for resource management at national and local levels of society (Hirsenberger et al 2019;Markkula, Turunen, and Kantola 2019;Owuor, Icely, and Newton 2019;Ramcilovic-Suominen 2019;Sen and Pattanail 2019;Sloan et al 2019).…”

Studies have shown how centralized institutions in resource management lead to adverse impacts on communities. However, important questions remain about the mechanisms through which people thrive under unfavorable policy environments. This paper examines how locals around the Mount Cameroon National Park (MCNP) carve space for articulating their agency despite unsympathetic management initiatives. Using focus group discussions and thematic analysis of data from 17 villages, the results identified arrangements that do not entirely solicit local consent in natural resource management. In this context, locals express their agency holding onto cultural traditions through religious engagement and the use of economic incentives to enhance livelihoods. They do so with the aid of traditional institutions, awareness of system challenges, acting more wisely, and initiating constructive needs in remote areas.

“…Moreover, the stronger the collaboration ability, the more effective the collaboration. For example, Hirsenberger et al ( 2019) have claimed that team coordination skills are essential for tackling the challenges and risks involved with cultural heritage protection projects [42]. The stronger their coordination ability, the more capable the participants are of perceiving and addressing risks faced during collaboration, and the better the collaboration effects.…”

Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is a keystone of sustainable development which, in recent years, has received growing attention from scholars and governments. Previous studies on ICH collaborative protection have focused on ICH connotations and practice, but relatively few studies have focused on the interrelationships among the influencing factors of the collaboration effect. This study introduces a new variable, relationship quality, in an effort to describe the collaborative relationship among participants. The collaborative relationship consists of three dimensions: trust, communication, and fairness. Regarding relationship quality as an intermediary variable, we construct a research framework embracing participant subject factors (collaboration attitude and collaboration ability) and collaboration effects in a case study on collaborative protection of ICH in Regong Thangka, China. A structural equation model, for which data were collected via a questionnaire, is used to assess the strength of the relationships among variables. A total of 416 questionnaires were distributed, and 365 valid completed questionnaires were returned. The findings indicate that relationship quality has a significant influence on collaboration effects in the collaborative protection of ICH. Within the study’s context, collaboration attitude has a significantly positive impact on relationship quality, and it indirectly influences collaboration effects via relationship quality. Collaboration ability has a significantly positive impact on relationship quality and collaboration effects, and it could also impact collaboration effects indirectly via relationship quality. This paper is the first to introduce the concept of relationship quality into the ICH collaborative protection research field, and its findings may have valuable theoretical and practical implications.

Developing a maintenance index framework for heritage concrete buildings

Purpose The improper management of conventional systems for recording, diagnosing and analysing information appears to be a major problem in the maintenance of heritage buildings. This is because of a lack of detection of patent or latent defects, ineffective repair methods and inappropriate planning decisions, which increase the risks of failure throughout the lifetime of heritage buildings. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The concept of maintenance management practices, as well as techniques and tools from information and communication technology, was reviewed to identify suitable processes and construct an information database of maintenance and management techniques. A maintenance index framework was then formulated by analysing these concepts. Findings The initial findings identify the need for decision-making support in the diagnosis of heritage building maintenance based on robust data collection. This should include the selection of a durable replacement design and material or an appropriate rehabilitation method for managing quality and reducing associated defects. Originality/value Further research into the maintenance of heritage buildings should consider various aspects in terms of sustainability. The paper concludes that implementing a maintenance index framework can help improve the decision-making performance with regard to the design, construction and maintenance operations of heritage concrete buildings.
