    Chapter Five: Cultural Heritage Management in Malaysia Chapter One: Chapter Two: Introduction Methodology Chapter Three: Chapter Four: Chapter Five: Chapter Six: Background to Malaysia Community Involvement in Cultural Cultural Heritage Management in Fieldwork Results Heritage Management Malaysia Chapter Seven: Chapter Eight: Discussion Conclusion and Recommendation CHAPTER FIVE CULTURAL HERITAGE MANAGEMENT IN MALAYSIA 5.0 Introduction This chapter is to explore and discuss the understanding of heritage as a term. The context of this understanding is incorporated with the notion of authenticity towards heritage resources and their management. Certainly, the authenticity of heritage resources is one of the main characters and a qualifying condition for inscription of UNESCO World Heritage Site. The authenticity is critically important for managing and improving conservation activity on the cultural heritage resources. Therefore, with regard to finding a strategy suitable to implementing cultural heritage management whilst retaining and highlighting the authenticity of heritage resources, the concept of the heritage trail development has been viewed as an appropriate management tool to conform with and implement both conservation and tourism requirements. Besides, with respect to local community involvement towards cultural heritage management, the Melaka heritage trail will be used as a preference to examine the current constitutional framework developed by the Malaysian government in order to understand how and whether the local community is engaged. 129 Chapter Five: Cultural Heritage Management in Malaysia 5.1 Conceptualising the Definitions of Heritage According to the web dictionary of Oxford (2012), the word heritage means “a property that is or may be inherited”. This is further refined, based on three crucial characteristics.

  • Successful Tourism at Heritage Places
    Successful Tourism at Heritage Places A GUIDE FOR TOURISM OPERATORS HERITAGE MANAGERS AND COMMUNITIES this Foreword The Australian Heritage Commission (AHC) and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, with the assistance of the Cooperative Research Centre for Sustainable Tourism (CRC) have over several years explored issues of common concern about the responsible use of Australia’s heritage places for tourism. We have aimed to move beyond general notions of the incompatibility of tourism and heritage conservation toward emphasising the potential contributions that tourism can make. Discussions over the last few years have demonstrated that impacts can often be managed effectively. There is much common ground and great potential for benefits all round. In this guide we have provided information to help people more clearly under- stand the issues involved and have developed some practical pointers for those aiming for successful and responsible tourism at heritage places. We hope this guide is a useful springboard for you. Aboriginal Tourism Australia i Developing this guide In 1998, the Australian Heritage Commission and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources identified the need to develop guidelines for tourism where heritage places are involved. This followed recognition that there needed to be a stronger bridge between tourism industry codes of practice and heritage conservation principles. A steering committee was established (see Acknowledgments) and the National Centre for Tourism was employed to produce a draft document in 1999. This final document has resulted from submissions from tourism operators, heritage managers and community groups across Australia. The document incorporates key elements of international and national tourism research, strategies, guidelines and codes of practice (see Section 7).

  • Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation Needs in Sussex County
    Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation Needs in Sussex County Photo by Tanya Nolte Wetlands “Open space is good politically, good economically, good for biodiversity, and good for water supply.” Austin Carew, Chair, Sussex County’s Open Space Committee at a Freeholder Board meeting on May 14, 2003. This section of the plan discusses the open space, conservation, and recreation needs in Sussex County, as described by those active throughout the county in land conservation and stewardship. The needs derive from 11 outreach meetings conducted from March through May of 2003 with the following participants: • non-profit conservation organizations (1 meeting); • state and federal resource managers (1 meeting); • organizations that provide recreation services, such as hunting clubs and birding organizations (1 meeting); • regional meetings with Sussex County municipal leaders (8 meetings). As discussed in the previous section, a part of these meetings identified specific areas for preservation and the reasons why these areas should be targeted which resulted in a list of open space preservation goals. The other section of each meeting was devoted to discussing impediments to conservation and other barriers or issues that prevent efficient land conservation in Sussex County. The results of that discussion are described below. VI. Open Space, Conservation & Recreation Needs 87 The structure of this approach gives a strong voice to those most familiar with the conservation issues of Sussex County. The interests of the participants varied, but all are integral in forging conservation solutions in the county. A sampling of participants included: • park superintendents, managers, and rangers; • mayors; • planning board members; • municipal managers and administrators; • land conservation professionals; • environmental commissioners and open space committee members; • Sussex County federation of sportsmen representatives; • governing body members; • recreation advisory commission members.
