“…Museums have been transformed from spaces for people to spaces of people [38]. The so-called 'new museology', which introduced a social education role for museums in the 1960s, developed it by means of various museums, such as community museums and open-air museums [39,40]. Based on McLuhan and Foire's concept of media [41], Glusberg and Benedit [42] explained that the museum should become an intermediary that forms social discourse.…”

To investigate how museums will change after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and to seek opinions on how well they can secure sustainable competitiveness, this study conducted 15 in-depth interviews using snowball sampling. The interviewees consisted of: an artists’ group, a museum-related group, and a users’ group. Our findings revealed that museums are working hard to gain competitiveness in the face of COVID-19, for which they changed their existing business models to a great extent. One of the most significant changes they introduced, was considering their users as internal, rather than external, stakeholders. For promoting museum products, encouraging users to participate makes them strong supporters who are more active across online platforms and engage and motivate new users, thereby configuring the network effects. The study concludes that this innovative trend will contribute to museums’ sustainable competitiveness during the pandemic as well as in the post-pandemic era.

“…Without sustainability, all so-called development plans and programs would remain rootless and have short-term results; it signals a responsibility of not only governments or local authorities but also of each citizen and community [37] (p. 59). According to Cole [38], sustainable development is not an appropriate perspective from which to view mining heritage tourism because the mining industry in its original guise is associated with environmental despoliation, socially unacceptable working practices and with economic decline; arguably, mining heritage tourism is unsustainable.…”

“…The practices of ecomuseums do not only fit the concept of sustainability [57][58][59][60]; they also have a tendency toward social inclusion and justice, but under specific conditions. As Stefano and Davis [28] pointed out, in some cases, ecomuseums may be no more than empty labels.…”

“…The phenomenon of ecomuseums has a direct link with the search for sustainability [57,58], ecomuseums being possible tools for integrating heritage's valorisations with the UN SDGs. Specifically, there are intersections-at least-with quality education, decent work and economic growth, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, peace, justice and strong institutions [59], although even the connections with the whole picture of SDGs could be easy to demonstrate.…”

Heritage is not only what societies inherit from the past: it is also an opportunity for practicing the principles of sustainability in the making of the future. A community-based approach is pivotal for generating long lasting processes aimed at revitalizing heritage. This assertion has been widely stated in several norms and conventions, such as the 2000 European Landscape Convention and the 2005 European Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society. Some practices aimed at revitalizing heritage with a community-based approach can be ascribed to the organizational form of the so-called ecomuseums, born in France in the 1970s and today spread worldwide. Ecomuseums soon became a tool for organizing community-based processes aimed at protecting and enhancing heritage in its various facets while promoting local development. However, not every existing ecomuseum is also able to grasp the opportunity of including disadvantaged persons and guaranteeing the right to heritage for all. This paper discusses the innovative elements and criticalities of ecomuseums, questioning how could they target heritage’s enhancement as well as justice simultaneously. This paper gains evidence from an ongoing action-research process and provides policy recommendations for EU southern regions that are now starting to experiment with the practice of ecomuseums, such as Sicily (IT).
