  • Creating Awareness for Heritage Conservation in the City of Mysore: Issues and Policies
    International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) www.ijmer.com Vol.3, Issue.2, March-April. 2013 pp-698-703 ISSN: 2249-6645 Creating Awareness for Heritage Conservation in the City of Mysore: Issues and Policies Dr. B. Shankar, 1 Dr. Chidambara Swamy2 1Associate Professor in Urban and Regional Planning¸ Institute of Development Studies¸ University of Mysore 2Professor and Head, Department of Architecture, Adhiyamaan College of Engineering, Hosur Abstract: Heritage awareness is a crucial part of any heritage conservation and management. The creation of awareness is time-consuming and it requires commitment and local support. It is often the most recognizable component of a heritage management. One of the most effective ways to build and maintain respect for community’s heritage is through a selection of activities that raise public awareness and increase appreciation. The success of heritage conservation initiatives depends on the understanding and participation of the local community. The City of Mysore is one of the prominent historical, cultural and heritage cities in India. The city has been identified as a heritage city for conservation by the State and Central Governments. The awareness programmes have also been launched under Jawarharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission by City Corporation in collaboration with Heritage Commissioner’s office. The paper focuses on the efforts made by various agencies for creating awareness for heritage conservation and proposes policy measures for creating effective heritage awareness in the city of Mysore. Key Words: Heritage, Culture, Conservation, Awareness and Policies I. Background Heritage awareness is an important component of conservation. One of the basic causes for damage of heritage is due to lack of awareness to the public at large and non involvement of people in the process of conservation as well.
