  1. 1.3.3 Cultural Heritage and Identity Jan van der Borg University of Venice

  2. The Data • Europe-wide statistics for NUTS 3 regarding heritage, culture and identity are extremely scarce. • Therefore: - extensive network of Universities that produces a limited number of significant indicators - number of indepth case studies - involvement Council of Europe & UNESCO WHC

  3. Indicators • Presence and the importance of material and immaterial cultural assets • Use of the cultural assets. Focus on excessive and insufficient use • Impact of heritage on the local economy and society

  4. Issues Sustainability leads to two broad families of (spatial) policies: 1) Policies that aim at conserving arts, heritage and identity 2) Policies that aim at ‘valorising’ culture and at enhancing identity

  5. Macro Policy Issues • Conserving European Cultural Heritage should, because of its very nature (space product and European concern), be an important element of territorial policies; • ‘Valorising’ European Heritage offers regional economies new impulses for the economy and the society (culture as a priority in assigning structural funds).

  6. Policy Issues in Detail I • Culture and competitiveness; • Costs and benefits of the development of cultural tourism (carrying capacity versus multipliers); • Tax policies and facilitating conservation by private parties; • Multiculturality, identity and social and economic development; • Transeuropean networks for cultural development;

  7. Policy Issues in Detail II • Culture as a fundamental precondition for territorial development; • Culture and accessibility; • Cultural landscapes, natural landscapes and spatial clusters of cultural assets; • Creative industries; • Use of cultural assets in border regions;

  8. Policy Issues in Detail III • Marginal areas and culture (on one hand marginality as a menace and on the other culture as a cure against marginality); • Cultural heritage and hazards.

  9. Progress • Partner Meetings in Venice (December) and in Barcelona (May) and Seminar in Barcelona (May) • First two interim reports delivered: - Broad definition of cultural heritage - Identification of indicators - Construction of meta database
