“…Like several other countries, Oman has a predominantly ‘top-down’ built heritage management system. This approach has been questioned relatively recently (De Filippi 2005 ; Salazar 2012 ; Davis et al 2010 ; El-Borombaly and Molina-Prieto 2015 ; Lenik 2013 ; Klinger 2020 , 112, 484), but the situation is still unchanged in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. Research has shown that a heavily centralised, top-down management system is one of the main hindrances to optimal investment in vernacular heritage for urban and economic development (De Filippi 2005 ; Lenik 2013 ; Salazar 2012 ; Davis et al 2010 ).…”

It has also revealed the problems inherent to the top-down approach in these interventions, such as high costs (De Filippi 2005 ; Salazar 2012 ; Davis et al 2010 , 9), ‘ museification ’ of heritage areas (De Filippi 2005 ), and non-adherences by inhabitants, who tend to abandon these areas once the work of international restoration experts is complete (De Filippi 2005 ; Salazar 2012 ).…”

“…Consequently, researchers and professionals in this field have been calling for the increased awareness and engagement of local communities in the process of decision making related to their built heritage management and development plans (De Filippi 2005 , 4–5; Lenik 2013 ; Chirikure and Pwiti 2008 ; Salazar 2012 ; Rivière 1985 ; Klinger 2020 , 266). These calls have been supported and relayed by international bodies, such as the United Nations and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), which have proposed a bottom-up approach to heritage management, coupled with existing top-down mechanisms (De Filippi 2005 , 5; Davis et al 2010 , 8; Correia et al 2014 , 162,164; Brundtland 1987 ; ICOMOS Florence Declaration 2014 ).…”

Once abandoned for more than three decades, vernacular settlements in Oman are now being progressively reinvested in to foster the country’s heritage tourism sector. The present research focuses on the emerging phenomenon of community-led initiatives for vernacular heritage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse in Oman. Through an examination of three case studies, its aim is to describe this process and its modes of action and discuss its effects on vernacular settlement transformations. A mixed research methodology was designed to include (A) analyses of relevant primary and secondary data, (B) documented onsite observations, (C) interviews with local community representatives and key players in the operations of rehabilitation, and (D) extractions and analyses of quantitative data from a hotel booking website.The research sheds light on unsuspected interrelations within and between the projects being implemented in these settlements and their operating modes. It reveals the focal role of a local community in a kind of ‘bottom-up’ management of its built heritage, coupled with a ‘horizontal cooperation’ between the three initiatives studied in this research. Moreover, it shows that a heavily centralised and top-down policy for the field of heritage conservation and management is among the main obstacles that hinder such initiatives. Furthermore, community-led operations of vernacular heritage rehabilitation are being undertaken under insufficient regulations in terms of land use, building restoration and adaptive reuse. In this context, the paper discusses some of the serious threats and concerns faced by such initiatives and proposes actionable solutions to mitigate these hindrances.

Galela community participation in the implementation of the Festival Tanjung Bongo (FTB) shows the existence of a partnership pattern in accordance with pentahelix elements. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to describe the level of local community participation in the preparation of Festival activities and various dynamics that occur in realizing these activities. In-depth interviews, observation, and document studies were implemented in order to generate data. The triangulation techniques were implemented as data validation techniques to obtain credible information. The results of this study indicate that the local government becomes a stimulus for community participation in the planning and preparation stage of the Tanjung Bongo Festival event, although the activity was postponed due to the refusal from the National Student League for Democracy Executives related to the readiness of supporting infrastructure. On the other hand, the pentahelix element of government synergy, academic, association, community, and media becomes the very essential factors in organizing the festival. Meanwhile, the level of community participation can be categorized to achieve the level of citizen control in accordance with Arnstein (1969).

“…This approach considers the core community as inseparable from a site [38][39][40][41][42]. In this sense, heritage practices "can take an active engagement with communities expressing contemporary concerns for social change" [43] (p. 201) and for retelling and communicating the community's history [44,45]. Considering a broad scenario that includes various archaeological sites and objects, this approach also requires taking into account multiple types of archaeological resources, especially when all are faced with a lack of policy related to their safeguarding from loss to the anticipation of their future.…”

Haitian Archaeological Heritage: Understanding Its Loss and Paths to Future Preservation

Haitian archaeological heritage is expressed through multiple traces of Amerindian cultures, enslaved African legacies, ruins of old colonial plantations and fortresses, and post-Haitian independence. Despite the existence of legal institutions engaged in the protection of this heritage, Haitian archaeological sites are becoming more threatened because of looting, appropriation of spaces, and lands management, as well as natural hazards. This paper aims to explore the current state of archaeological heritage with the broader context of the politics of heritage in Haiti. We analyzed the conditions of archaeological sites from the northern region and addressed their place in official heritage practices. The results of this study revealed that most of the archaeological sites that reflect the complexity of Haitian history are not given much attention in the politics of heritage that prioritize the nationalistic and emblematic character of historic traces. This study highlighted the importance of a new approach that prioritizes multiple voices to address heritage matters for the future.
