• TITLE: Towards a Better Approach: A Critical Analysis of Heritage Preservation Practices

  AUTHORS: Lingran Zhang

  KEYWORDS: Heritage Preservation, Sustainable Development, Critical Analysis, Change

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.10 No.5, May 9, 2022

  ABSTRACT: This essay aims at providing insights into understanding contemporary society’s efforts in preserving heritage for future generations. Through a critical analysis of literature, it investigates the development of heritage preservation methods from the top-down listing approach proposed by UNESCO since the 1970s to the more recent bottom-up approach that centers on community participation. It argues that both the concept of heritage and the duty of heritage preservation are an evolving process that does not have a definite response. How to best preserve our heritage thus requires maintaining an open mind that perceives preservation as change and invites active engagement of heritage in the present.
