Abstract

Managing a heritage area requires strategic partnerships with the private sector for cross-funding possibilities. This is a scheme to understand how conservation works—a chain of regulations and legal support correlate with other factors: financial and economic incentives, and also inhabitants’ social values. In order to conserve a heritage area within a rapidly growing city, the concept needs to keep the driving forces in balance. In the early definition of conservation (the Venice Charter of 1960), it simply meant to keep optimal conditions and prevent damage. In relation to the initial definition of conservation, this research indicates that the key to sustain a heritage area is to work hand-in-hand with the inhabitants to maintain the integrity of the place. The heritage buildings and their settings should not lose their attached meaning but maintain the balance of their architectural values that need to be preserved. The attitude of the inhabitants to their heritage area is a response to its current condition, stimulated by law, regulations and economic pressure. The main trigger for community engagement is an incentive from local authorities, which can be a direct or indirect advantage of living in the heritage area.
