“…Although stakeholder engagement is promoted in the context of World Heritage Site nomination and management (Cleere, 2010;Setha, 2003), consultation in many cases has remained tokenistic and often excluded local people and businesses (Millar, 2006). Despite a growing number of accounts and methodologies on management planning for archaeological sites, including case studies published in the Journal Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites or those included in two volumes produced by the Getty Conservation Institute (Palumbo & Teutonico, 2002;Sullivan & Mackay, 2012) participatory approaches rarely play a central role in the methodological approaches to management planning. Participatory approaches are more likely to be discussed in case studies where heritage is considered as a tool for social and economic regeneration (Galla, 2012;McManamon et al, 2008).…”

When the Petra World Heritage Site Integrated Management Plan was officially endorsed in 2019, it was the first management plan for the site to be legally recognised. The plan also uniquely emerged from a sophisticated interactive and participatory process designed to engage with as many stakeholders as possible to build consensus and foster interdisciplinary approaches to long-standing issues. Over a two-year period, from inception and planning to the final endorsement of the Integrated Management Plan, a dedicated technical team facilitated collaborative work practices and enabled the co-creation of management policies. This paper is a reflexive evaluation of the process by the team and draws on first-hand accounts and experiences to evaluate the impacts this methodology and approach has had on stakeholders and its longer-term legacies. Although Petra is a complex site facing significant pressures and multifaceted user demands, the participatory process has nonetheless empowered stakeholders who had not traditionally engaged in decision-making processes to become more engaged and established a management planning approach that can be adapted for cultural heritage sites in Jordan and in the wider region.

“…Archaeological sites express human, social, and technical development through the embodied values associated with civil, historic, artistic, spiritual, symbolic, educational, natural, ecological, and economic practices. They are composed by tangible (e.g., history, structures, physical state, and constrains) [39][40][41] and intangible heritage (i.e., meanings, traditions, philosophies, representations, and rituals) [42,43]. Their preservation is faced with several risks connected to physical development, pollution, tourism pressure, vandalism, looting, inappropriate excavations or interventions, lack of maintenance, funding, and legislation [44][45][46].…”

“…Their preservation is faced with several risks connected to physical development, pollution, tourism pressure, vandalism, looting, inappropriate excavations or interventions, lack of maintenance, funding, and legislation [44][45][46]. Physical development has certainly had major impact on their disruptions and changes, as it is directly connected to settlement expansion and infrastructure growth [42] and is indirectly associated with pollution, mass tourism, and social engagement [10,46]. These aspects may also have a negative impact on the biodiversity of the area, not only on heritage resources [42].…”

“…Regenerative design can help them to face the effects of climate change, environmental and heritage despoliation, and land expansion in a resilient way. Thus, the main challenges for their revitalization refer not only to heritage (e.g., heritage preservation, enhancement, and management), but also to environmental (e.g., sustainable development, biodiversity preservation, use of resources, and improvement of local resources and systems), social (e.g., touristic attraction and people's engagement, wellbeing, training, and education), and economic (e.g., benefits, profits, and innovation) issues [42]. This embodies a robust interrelation within the three pillars of sustainability: environment, society, and economy [19].…”

Regenerative Design of Archaeological Sites: A Pedagogical Approach to Boost Environmental Sustainability and Social Engagement

Sustainable pedagogical approaches and practices have changed during the years, generating a set of philosophical, theoretical, and scientific concepts. Inside them, regenerative design is a proactive method based on systemic frameworks and developmental processes for maintaining the integrity of natural ecosystems, also enhancing human life, environmental awareness, social equity, and economic sustainability through the support of codesign techniques. This approach is widely used in architectural design, both for existing and heritage buildings, to address negative impacts of global warming, climate change, urban sprawl, touristic pressure, and other contemporary challenging phenomena. Specific workflows for archaeological sites have been never proposed, despite the fact that these sites face problems and risks completely different from other cultural heritage settings (e.g., physical development, pollution, tourism pressure, vandalism, looting, inappropriate excavations or interventions, lack of maintenance, funding, and legislation). This study presents a multicriteria decision analysis workflow for preserving and regenerating archaeological sites in a sustainable way through a deep understanding of current problems, values, features, and risks at urban and building levels. This method is tested with a pedagogical experiment at the UNESCO Site of Casterseprio (Italy), to investigate the interaction between heritage, environmental, social, and economic dynamics as well as to define its feasibility, applicability, limitations, and opportunities for further developments. The didactic process is supported by a participatory program among the key players of the site (owners, heritage and public authorities, and local associations), to create strong public support and a shared vision of the sustainable regeneration of the area. Differences between traditional and regenerative design processes, key design principles, shared criteria, replicability, novelty, and limitations of the pedagogic approach are also identified. Key findings of the present study are: (i) students need clear and shared design workflows for supporting their design projects; (ii) “regenerative design” involves multilevel dynamic training methodologies that motivate and involve the student while also improving their consciousness; (iii) the cooperation and the involvement of the stakeholders is important to favor a human-centered approach based also on social and economic interactions; (iv) digital technologies are fundamental for quantifying the key performance indicators in each design stage; (v) “regenerative design” boosts long-term planning and financial self-sustainability of the intervention; and (vi) multicultural design teams producing more innovative design ideas.

Visitor Management in Tourism Destinations

This chapter examines possible applications of indicators and standards-based visitor management (VM) frameworks at cultural heritage sites. It is argued that if implemented successfully VM can help to achieve sustainability in heritage tourism. Indicators and standards are suggested as means to identify and negotiate the fine line between the visitor experience and resource protection. To explore the critical elements, opportunities and challenges of using these frameworks for managing visitors at heritage sites, Petra Archaeological Park in Jordan is used as an example.
