“…The acculturation process through food knowledge/language, media and event are believed to significantly contribute to the formation of ethnic food identity [13,28,62]. The certification on the heritage and traditional foods, in the long run, could strengthen the ethnic food identity formation [63]. However, several sensitive issues on preserving each ethnic, cultural identity arise [58,59].…”

This paper outlines the research conducted to test a visual measurement model of the Human Capital and ICT dimensions to develop a framework of a Knowledge-based Society for Malaysia towards an Innovative Digital Economy. Based on an initial analysis on Knowledge-based Society (KS),it was found that Human capital and ICT represent important enabling dimensions in a KS framework. The content domain to measure both these dimensions were developed based on empirical data and literature available. It was then tested using a sample of 450 respondents from both government and private sectors as well as NGOs. Four factors were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis based on 44 items proposed in the survey questionnaire. For the Human Capital dimension, 42 items were loaded into the four factors, and 2 items were deleted due to loadings less than 0.3; whilst for the ICT dimension, 39 items were loaded into the four factors and 2 items were also deleted due to loadings less than 0.3. The visual measurement model was validated using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that generally, Human Capital and ICT dimensions provided a reasonably good fit measurement model, thus necessary to be used as a guide in the development of a KS framework in Malaysia.

In the 21st century, some factors, such as the awareness of multiculturalism, the preservation of local culture and the recognition of national cultural heritage, have led to the need for a new literacy skill called cultural heritage literacy. This study aimed to draw attention to the concept of cultural heritage literacy, defining the competencies of this literacy and investigating these competencies among academics from the humanities and social sciences at Hacettepe University Faculty of Letters, Turkey. Cultural heritage information needs and the information behaviours of academics were found to have differences in practices and perceptions across age, gender, status and subject disciplines. Within the scope of the study, a questionnaire with 30 questions was given to 114 academics from the humanities and social sciences at Hacettepe University Faculty of Letters, Turkey. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a chi-square test. The findings show that most of the academics reported having strong cultural heritage literacy abilities. There are statistically significant correlations between participants’ demographic features and cultural heritage literacy. It is expected that this study will contribute to the professionals of cultural heritage institutions. By considering cultural heritage literacy skills, professionals of cultural heritage institutions can develop new information services for cultural-heritage literate people.
