Execu ve Summary The Na onal Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) engaged Cultural Tourism DC (CTDC), the city’s agent for crea ng the District of Columbia Neighborhood Heritage Trails, to lead the ini al explora on of a Heritage Trail for the Southwest Federal Center area. NCPC, the federal government’s central planning agency in the Na onal Capital Region, ini ated the Southwest Federal Center Heritage Trail Assessment Study to advance the objec ves of the Monumental Core Framework Plan (Framework Plan) and the SW Ecodistrict Plan. Both plans emphasize the importance of ac va ng streets within federal precincts through a variety of strategies to enhance the quality of the public spaces for the enjoyment of residents, workers, and visitors. When complete, the Southwest Federal Center Heritage Trail (Heritage Trail) will be a self-guided walking tour highligh ng the art, architecture, local and federal history, and governmental func ons of a predominantly federal enclave between the Na onal Mall and the Southwest waterfront (Figure 1, below). By introducing interpre ve signs, audio tours, and programmed tours that showcase the area’s rich history, the Heritage Trail could encourage much-needed public and private investments for the large-scale redevelopment of federal sites and private proper es in this area.

The Heritage Trail can serve as a marke ng tool by highligh ng the area’s local and na onal signifi cance, showcasing the neighborhood’s marketable quali es, and encouraging foot traffi c to sites recommended for new museums, civic, or cultural des na ons by the Framework Plan and the SW Ecodistrict Plan. The Southwest Federal Center Heritage Trail could support exis ng public outreach programs of area federal agencies and increase the public’s apprecia on of the cultural resources off ered by federal buildings. The Heritage Trail can help draw visitors from the Na onal Mall and Smithsonian museums to lesser-known federal exhibits in the Southwest Federal Center and support the public outreach ac vi es and programs of federal agencies that want to increase their visibility, such as the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Energy (DOE), and the Na onal Aeronau cs and Space Administra on (NASA). Signifi cant examples of federal architecture and art, such as USDA’s Whi en Building, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Robert C. Weaver Building and the Works Progress Administra on murals located in the lobby of the General Services Administra on’s (GSA) Regional Offi ce Building, would receive more recogni on through the Heritage Trail signs. The Southwest Federal Center Heritage Trail could be a near-term strategy to enhance Southwest Washington’s public realm. Providing interpre ve markers at strategic loca ons throughout the Southwest Federal Center can increase foot traffi c in a currently under- visited area. Following interpre ve signs on a planned route, area visitors will be introduced to the lesser-known but equally interes ng cultural and historic resources in the streets of Southwest. The Heritage Trail can also improve east-west pedestrian connec ons within the Southwest Federal Center, and facilitate north-south pedestrian circula on between downtown, the Federal Triangle, the Na onal Mall, and Southwest Washington. Banneker Park and 10th Street Promenade in the background 2 Southwest Federal Center Heritage Trail Assessment Report Voice of America, Independence Avenue, SW L’Enfant Plaza Local businesses at L’Enfant Plaza L’Enfant Plaza Metro Sta on Benefi ts to Local Businesses A key objec ve of developing a Heritage Trail is to promote local businesses and capitalize on the tourist revenues generated by the Na onal Mall and Smithsonian museums. The Southwest Federal Center currently does not have many local businesses; however, both the Framework Plan and the SW Ecodistrict Plan envision the area’s future transforma on into a lively, mixed-use neighborhood with more retail spaces along 10th Street, Maryland Avenue, and Independence Avenue, SW. The Southwest Federal Center Heritage Trail will expand the city’s exis ng system of Neighborhood Heritage Trails. The Heritage Trail can enhance pedestrian connec ons between downtown, the Na onal Mall, Southwest, and the waterfront. A Heritage Trail in the Southwest Federal Center that connects to the SW Waterfront and two exis ng heritage trails (Civil War to Civil Rights: Downtown Neighborhood Heritage Trail to the north and River Farms to Urban Towers: Southwest Neighborhood Heritage Trail to the south) would be an important fi rst step towards achieving this objec ve. Linking these trails would provide pedestrians with a seamless network of safe, walkable connec ons that also off er cultural enrichment. 3 Capitalizing on the Momentum of Change The Southwest Federal Center has been the focus of redevelopment and building re-use studies since 2005, led primarily by NCPC and the GSA. The Southwest Federal Center Heritage Trail Assessment Study will capitalize on two major redevelopment ac vi es in the area involving federal proper es. • GSA is evalua ng how best to redevelop a subarea of the Southwest Federal Center— referred to as the Federal Triangle South—with an eye towards reducing the federal government’s greenhouse gas emissions and maximizing federal land effi ciency and building resources. This Federal Triangle South consists of the James Forrestal building (the DOE Headquarters); the Wilbur and Orville Wright buildings (Federal Avia on Administra on Headquarters), the Co on Annex, and GSA’s Regional Offi ce Building (Figure 2, SW Ecodistrict and Federal Triangle South Study Areas).

    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.
