| Summary: | World Heritage Sites are justifiably considered as valuable cultural and
economic resources of a place. Previous research was dedicated to identifying
the impact of world heritage sites on local development, as well as their ability to interact with local communities and to attract tourists. The present analysis describes the social fabric around the World Heritage Sites, aiming to understand better how these sites connect with various actors for identifying
lines of sustainable management for these heritage sites. The study pinpoints
that social interactions are very important in this context and that there is a
shift towards two-way relationships between heritage and local communities,
public administration, resident businesses, and tourists as well. Heritage site
management should consider increasingly more its social value, the local social fabric, communities’ ideals, and subjective well-being, locals’ and tourists’ stories, the voices, characteristics, and interests of multiple stakeholders. |
