“…Participation of local communities and their contribution to heritage management is crucial (Hosagrahar, 2018). Inclusive economic development treats historic cities as cultural capital that generates economic growth, employment, income and livelihoods, stimulates economic investment, innovation and sustainable quality tourism, activates local opportunities and vitalizes construction and service industries (Ost, 2018;Pereira Roders & van Oers, 2011, p. 9). Due to their long life cycle, historic buildings contribute to environmental protection by reducing the energy associated with built forms, through minimising the consumption of new energy and raw materials by adaptive reuse (Siebrandt et al, 2017, p. 4;Auclair & Fairclough, 2015, p. 3).…”

Integration into architectural or urban context as an evaluation criterion is claimed to be subjective and hardly substantiated. In spite of its ambiguity, it is generally accepted as one of the basic demands in architectural design. So what the context is in architectural design? The article explores specific understandings of architectural-urban context from characteristic perspectives in urban heritage protection and management. From perspective of architectural heritage protection, context is physical architectural objects nearby, perceived visually in a static mode, and respected in interventions by achieving harmonious relationship with it. From the point of view of cultural landscape, context is an interacting natural and man-made environment, constantly changing according to place-specific natural and cultural processes; its processual character and the accumulated meanings that rise from imbedded experiences ought to be continued in following architectural transformations. Historic urban landscape approach assumes that context is constantly developing through urbanization, cultural, social and economic processes, which cultural uniqueness and identity is saturated by place-based meanings, experiences and emotional relationships attributed by local community, ought to be contributed in present-day architectural transformations. From the point of view of sustainable development, context is an inherited cultural, social, material, economic resource and a source of traditional knowledge, performance and behaviours to be adapted and carried on towards a greater sensitivity to the environment, culture, climate, and place, and for the wellbeing of local community.

“…Innovative components should be included in cultural heritage since intangible cultural heritage develops just as the local community develops. For the aforementioned step to yield economic bene ts, cultural heritage and tourism should be both "inclusive and sustainable" [8][9][10]. It is necessary that "sustainable tourism development" consider the effect of touristic visits on the conservation of heritage buildings.…”

Many countries of the world suffered the problem of historical neighborhoods within their urban entity, through various treatments and phases. Regardless of numerous treatments, the city in general is described as an organic entity that has past, present, and future. This past with its birth, originality, and transformation had to have relied on material and spiritual assets that surrounded it, and the urban texture that lived and continued in the peripheries of the cities during the past era is only cultural humanitarian production that interacted and was environmentally consistent and covered the human needs that were related to time and place. In this article, three international experiences were chosen from countries that are different in their geographic location and cultural heritage, and have analyzed their experiences to conserve the historical identity of cities, as follows: The first experience which is handled by the research is the experience of France in the renovation, conservation, and improvements of heritage sites. Any type of dealing on whatever level with historical areas (whether subject to maintenance, improvement or renewal) were subject and belonged to a general plan that was set based on a comprehensive view of the city as a whole, taking into account all elements that affect the problem, including economic, social, cultural and political matters. It is known that France holds advanced philosophical and theoretical heritage in the field of urban planning based on situations of the senior architects and theorists of planning in the past century. The second experience studied in this article takes place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and presents astounding results in the field. It was renewed and was conserved by autonomous efforts by the rehabilitation of many historical cities and restoration of their vitality and spirituality to become attractive to tourism, heritage value, and investment. North America included the United State of America and Canada.

“…However, the integration of culture and heritage into sustainable development discourse is an ongoing and longstanding challenge. Critics have been pointing out the pitfalls and incompleteness of the sustainability model proposed in the 1980s based on three dimensions, economic, social, and environmental [2,3], arguing that it neglects crucial dimensions of development, such as governance and politics, spirituality, religion, culture and aesthetics, and the complex relations between them [4,5]. In the 1990s, the report "Our Creative Diversity" [1] and, more broadly, the World Decade for Cultural Development (1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997), aimed to place culture at the center of sustainability models.…”

“…However, the sustainable development agendas published across the 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s by the United Nations did not reference culture and heritage [6][7][8], which renewed the need for more research and stronger advocacy for their role in sustainable development processes [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Despite UN bodies' increasing association of culture and heritage with sustainable development [2,15] (p. 45), including the intensification of UNESCO's work since 2010 [16], in 2015 the United Nations' 2030 Agenda still presented limited mentions of culture across its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 169 targets, and 230 indicators [17]. Heritage is referenced once in Goal 11, aimed at making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable, namely, in target 4 to "strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world's cultural and natural heritage," limiting the role of culture and heritage practices in the sustainable development agenda [18].…”

“…For a broad and effective integration of heritage in sustainable development agendas and processes, however, sustainability also needs to permeate into heritage policies and practices. Even though mention of sustainable development can be found in international heritage regulatory frameworks since the mid-1990s [19][20][21], it was only in 2002, with the Budapest Declaration, that the UNESCO World Heritage processes became explicitly linked to social equity and economic growth [2,22,23], thus impelling heritage doctrines onward. A decade later, other documents adopted a similar approach, advocating a good balance between socio-economic and urban development and heritage conservation [24][25][26]particularly in the management of the historic urban landscape [27][28][29]-looking inward at the sustainability of heritage attributes and values [30] (p. 5).…”

Heritage and Sustainability: Regulating Participation

In the past three decades, there has been increasing research carried out on the role of heritage and its processes in achieving broader sustainable development objectives beyond heritage conservation. As part of this movement, people-centered approaches and participation have been widely integrated into international regulations and guidelines on heritage management, stimulating the implementation of case studies-based research worldwide. Despite the wide advocacy of participatory heritage practices’ contributions to more inclusive and culturally sensitive local development in a great variety of projects, there is limited research into the roles these practices can have in addressing sustainability objectives. How are these roles addressed in international heritage regulatory frameworks, and what forms of participation are promoted for their fulfillment? This paper seeks to answer this research question through a content analysis of international declarations, conventions, guidelines, and policy documents focused on the roles and forms of participation that are promoted. A crossed-matched analysis of results reveals that active forms of participation are those most used to promote all roles and subcategories of participation, as a right, as a driver, and as an enabler of sustainable development. However, fewer active forms are presented as complementary at different stages of sustainability-oriented heritage practices. Moreover, a higher incidence of generic forms of participation can be observed in documents addressing international stakeholders, while partnership and intervention are to be found in those targeting regional and local actors. Nevertheless, the low incidence of decisional forms of participation confirms the challenges of power-sharing at all scales. Trends and influences are highlighted, informing heritage research, governance, and policymaking, but also revealing gaps and ambiguities in current regulations that further research encompassing a larger number of documents might confirm.
