Abstract
Ensuring sustainability of cultural heritage through effective public policies
Highlights
IntroductionThe importance of heritage, both in terms of its intrinsic and instrumental values, is unquestionable and widely recognized
Sustainability applies to cultural heritage projects, which have been well funded from various EU sources
Not all of the criteria are important in ensuring the sustainability and durability of cultural heritage, which is greatly dependent on the context as well as the development objectives
Summary
The importance of heritage, both in terms of its intrinsic and instrumental values, is unquestionable and widely recognized. Heritage-related policies are the most important frameworks to ensure sustainability. If they fail to set appropriate measures, heritage sustainability may be threatened, even resulting in the demise of cultural properties. The authors of this article do not know of any studies examining how many cultural heritage projects are sustainable after their funding period, but they have witnessed several projects that obtained funding without considering their sustainable future. This practice, common knowledge, has rarely been openly discussed. It reveals possible gaps in project evaluation, pointing to a need to reconsider evaluation mechanisms
