Research summary
Sustainable cultural heritage conservation mechanism and implementation With the key words of “cultural heritage,” “multi-actors,” and “sustainability,” I have been analyzing how one can create an effective and sustainable cultural heritage conservation mechanism. There are multiple issues at all three levels: political issues that affect the creation of international institutions, difficulties of implementing national mechanism, and “heritage communities” that are excluded in planning a conservation mechanism. By analyzing how these three levels are interacting and affecting other actor’s actions, my research looks into the international/national cultural heritage conservation mechanism.
