This document discusses the importance and benefits of historic preservation. It summarizes that preservation creates attractive communities that benefit citizens and attract businesses through unique local qualities. Preservation also leads to job creation in construction and rehabilitation. Restoring historic buildings and neighborhoods boosts local real estate markets and property values. Examples are given of specific historic properties in Knoxville, Tennessee that were restored through a vintage properties program, dramatically increasing their values and property taxes paid. The director encourages realtors, developers and others to get involved in preservation efforts to continue revitalizing communities.
This document proposes the development of a National Indigenous Art & Culture Centre in Alice Springs, Australia. It would be a living space that brings people together to share and respect Indigenous knowledge, celebrate Indigenous history, and provide hope for the future. The center aims to be community-driven with Indigenous governance and connect existing local culture centers across the nation. It would help address cultural cringe by promoting understanding and respect of Indigenous culture's significance to the national identity.

The document summarizes the findings of focus groups and surveys conducted as part of a community branding, marketing and economic development initiative for the Town of Bethlehem. 99 participants shared their views on Bethlehem's physical and intangible assets. Key physical assets identified included the town's natural beauty, history, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Intangible assets included the sense of community and progressive yet historic values. Based on the research, the branding firm recommends the tagline "Just Be | Bethlehem, NH" and outlines next steps which include developing a logo, website and marketing plan to promote the town's unique identity and assets.
This document discusses different aspects of local, popular, and folk cultures. It provides examples of cultural differences in foods, gestures, marriage customs, and traditions. Local cultures aim to preserve customs and distinguish themselves, while popular culture embraces changing tastes across diverse groups. Place and defining spaces help maintain customs. Both material and nonmaterial aspects of culture are discussed. The roles of migration, commodification, and claims of authenticity in relation to local cultures are also mentioned.
The document describes Butler's tourist resort life cycle model, which outlines the typical stages in the evolution of a tourist destination from exploration to decline. It begins with few facilities and adventure tourism, progresses to development with large hotels and package holidays, reaches a peak stage of consolidation, then declines through stagnation as the resort loses popularity and businesses close, before potentially achieving rejuvenation. Examples provided are Blackpool, which has declined, and Benidorm which remains consolidated through management choices to prevent stagnation.

The document provides guidance on describing places by listing questions and details to include such as the name and location of the city or village, things to see and do there, what the city is like, what it is famous for, how the people are, the weather, food, views, attractions, atmosphere, nearby locations, and adjectives that could be used such as ancient, bustling, charming, contemporary, compact, exciting, fascinating, huge, picturesque, and touristy.
This document describes the city of Cordoba as having beautiful scenery and various exciting outdoor activities. It highlights areas for relaxation like hotels, spas, and beaches. Important places to visit in Cordoba include The Three Cascades, Gold Waters, and Bee's Home. However, the document also notes some negatives such as environmental destruction from resorts, pollution, and cultural destruction from modernization. It warns of seasonal employment without job security, low benefits, and development of illegal economic activities.
Tourism can have both positive and negative cultural impacts on a society. Positively, it can help traditional arts, crafts, and customs survive through interest from tourists. However, over-commercialization from mass-producing cheap souvenirs and experiences for tourists can threaten local artistic standards and disrupt cultural ways of life. Elements of culture like handicrafts, cuisine, architecture, and religion can attract tourists but also suffer when exploited for commercial gain.
The document discusses honeypot villages, which are locations that attract large numbers of tourists. Characteristics of honeypot villages include shops becoming gift shops and tea rooms to cater to tourists, with thousands of visitors bringing noise and congestion that can drive locals away by taking away peace and quiet. Village shop closures are also addressed, noting they can cause residents to leave as shops struggle to compete with supermarkets and close at a rate of 400 per year, leaving some villages dependent on other towns for goods and isolating elderly residents who cannot drive.
This document discusses tourism, including definitions of key terms like tourist, tourism, and types of tourism. It outlines Butler's tourist resort life cycle model and applies it to Blackpool and Benidorm as examples. The document also covers attitudes to tourism, impacts of tourism including social, economic and environmental impacts, and how ecotourism is managed in the Galapagos Islands.
The document discusses the 5-M model for interpretive planning at museums. The 5-M model includes Management, Message, Markets, Media, and Mechanics. It provides guidance on developing an interpretive plan, including defining the central theme and subthemes, choosing appropriate media types, and ensuring good management and audience considerations. The goal is to create a plan that guides an engaging visitor experience and clearly communicates the purpose and significance of the site.
To Offer Free Admission, or Not to Offer Free Admission: That is the QuestionBlackbaud
The document discusses the experiences of the Birmingham Museum of Art and RISD Museum in balancing free admission with revenue generation. The BMA has always offered completely free admission, generating around $23,000 annually from donation boxes and $338,000 from over 4,500 member households in FY12-13. RISD Museum offers free admission on Sundays and certain weeknights, with 40% of visitors paying fees and 60% entering for free. A key challenge for museums is how to provide access while still sustaining operations financially.

Lightning talk: Indigenous Knowledge Centres
John Pateman
If Truth and Reconciliation are to be meaningful then Decolonization has to be more than a metaphor. Thunder Bay Public Library (TBPL) is committed to recentering the Indigenous world view. Our work is led and guided by an Indigenous Advisory Council (IAC) which represents the needs of Thunder Bay’s Indigenous community. Working with our Indigenous staff, the IAC recommended that TBPL establish Indigenous Knowledge Centres (IKC) in all of our libraries. These collections contain materials that authentically reflect Indigenous knowledge, culture and history.
These collections are not classified by the Dewey Decimal Scheme which represents a European linear interpretation of knowledge in which every book can have only one place on the shelves. Instead they are categorized using subject headings such as Land, Water and Women which reflect an Indigenous circular view of the world in which everything is interconnected. The purpose of these IKC’s is to ensure that Indigenous culture and history is reflected in the collection of TBPL. They are places where Indigenous people can learn about their traditional customs and languages. Many Indigenous people were cut off from their past by colonial practices such as Residential Schools which were intended to ‘kill the Indian within the child’. The consequence of these genocidal policies has become evident with the discovery of unmarked graves at Residential Schools across Canada. In addition, the IKCs are a resource that non Indigenous people can use to learn about the history of Canada that they were not taught in school.
The document summarizes various research methods used by museums to gather information from stakeholders. It discusses using focus groups, interviews, surveys, intercepts, and social media research to understand branding, membership, visitation patterns, potential new audiences, and economic impact. A variety of case studies are provided as examples.

The Pre Foreclosure Niche Presentation For Real Estate AgentSam Saad
The document discusses the pre-foreclosure niche and opportunities for real estate professionals. It defines pre-foreclosure as when a home sells for less than what is owed due to the seller's financial distress. Defaults and foreclosures are increasing nationwide. This creates opportunities for agents with pre-foreclosure expertise to work with distressed homeowners and lenders. The approval process involves the homeowner submitting documentation to prove hardship and the real estate professional providing documents like a sales contract to get lender approval for a short sale.

Historic preservation protects places that tell our history's stories. It preserves the ice cream shops, coffee stops, and parks integral to communities. Preserving historic places is vital for sustainability by creating jobs, stimulating economies, and fostering social connections. Historic buildings were designed harmoniously with their environments, using natural heating, lighting, and cooling methods well-suited to each climate. Preservation thus benefits the environment by avoiding demolitions and waste while retaining efficient structures.

Historic preservation protects places that tell our history's stories. It preserves the ice cream shops, coffee stops, and parks integral to communities. Preserving historic places is vital for sustainability by creating jobs, stimulating economies, and fostering social connections. Historic buildings were designed harmoniously with their environments, using techniques like porches, courtyards, and materials for natural cooling and heating. Preservation enhances property values, tourism, and neighborhood diversity.
The document discusses cultural heritage tourism. It begins with introducing the topic and defining cultural heritage tourism as traveling to experience authentic places and activities that represent the stories and people of the past and present. This includes historic, cultural, and natural resources. The document then covers benefits of cultural heritage tourism, trends in the industry, five principles of cultural heritage tourism, and a four step process to develop cultural heritage tourism.
How we listed our local heritage assets - Marple Civic SocietyCivicVoice2010
This document discusses the process of creating a local heritage list for Marple, UK to recognize and protect important heritage assets not already designated. It began in 2009 in response to a development threat. Criteria for listing were established including architectural, historic, and group value. Over 370 buildings were surveyed based on public nominations, and 109 were recommended for the local list. Benefits include protection for local heritage and consideration in planning. Lessons highlighted the importance of community involvement. Next steps proposed expanding protections for some sites through additional designation as Assets of Community Value.
Old v/s Historic: What is Historic Anyway?Melissa Wyllie
View the presentation by Melissa Wyllie at the Metro Nashville Old House Fair to find out what historians and preservationists look at to determine if a building is historic or just old.
The document provides an overview of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program being implemented in the Midtown neighborhood of New Albany, Indiana. The program aims to redevelop up to 50 homes in the neighborhood to address issues such as vacant and foreclosed properties, low homeownership rates, and uneven housing quality. It has already acquired and begun construction on 32 properties. The goal is to transform Midtown into a neighborhood of choice through these redevelopment efforts and other neighborhood investments like parks and schools. Initial data shows improvements in home sales prices, reductions in vacant properties, and better block and property conditions as a result of the program.
Aspiration in designing new building in historic settings must be to match the quality of the new with the old so that they are respected and enhanced for the benefit of those who live in Nicosia and the visitors who come to enjoy the wonderful heritage. Thus, the design concepts and evaluations have been set to help design alternatives and awareness among all those issues inserted in building design in historic settings.
Culture as a driver for leisure tourism - by Julie FossittJulie Fossitt
The document discusses using cultural products and assets to drive leisure tourism in Kingston, Canada. It outlines recommendations to create an environment where cultural tourism stakeholders can work together and develop a tourism strategy leveraging Kingston's culture and heritage. A pilot project was conducted surveying residents in surrounding cities about Kingston's culture and engaging digital influencers with a tour. Results showed low awareness of Kingston's cultural amenities but interest in visiting as an "arts hub." This informed the adoption of a unified branding approach across tourism partners with pillars of being authentically hip, culturally vibrant, and constantly evolving. Metrics showed engagement and reach increasing since implementing the new strategy.

Cultural heritage can contribute to urban development in the following ways:
1. It provides predictability for investors through regulations and development plans that designate cultural heritage areas and protections.
2. Municipal plans outline cultural heritage parts along with transport and environmental elements, providing zoning and protections for historic areas.
3. Investors seek reduced uncertainty, so planning tools that indicate development restraints channel investment to designated growth areas while protecting other cultural heritage zones.
The document proposes several ideas for temporary or pilot programs that could activate vacant lots in the community. These include (1) establishing a tool lending shed on a vacant lot, (2) hosting pop-up pocket parks and recreation spaces on vacant lots, and (3) holding periodic art, culture and food festivals on vacant lots to engage the community. Many of the ideas are low-cost and aim to beautify neighborhoods and strengthen community identity until higher and best uses for the lots are determined.
This document discusses changes in architecture over time from vernacular to high-style and popular architecture. It notes that hierarchies within societies became less prominent as linear concepts of time prioritized progress. Nature became less sacred and human relationships to land were dehumanized. Cultural beliefs and building forms became more complex and divorced. Vernacular architecture suited local needs and contexts using local materials, while high-style relied more on aesthetics for elites. Popular architecture reflects public values more closely. Western concepts don't always suit other cultures, and excessive choice breaks down folk arts. Symbolic values and behaviors still influence housing forms in developed countries, showing architecture is still connected to culture even if divorced from traditional frameworks.
This document discusses the work of the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council in promoting sustainable tourism development in the Blackstone River Valley region. It outlines the Council's efforts to build partnerships across various stakeholders, develop tourism while preserving environmental and cultural resources, and establish the region as a sustainable tourism destination through initiatives like the Sustainable Tourism Laboratory. The Council works to balance economic development, environmental protection, and social improvement through place-making and following principles from organizations like the UNWTO and National Geographic.

Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur, once a vibrant center of Chinese culture, is facing threats from urbanization. Rapid development is leading to the loss of the area's historic buildings, cultural traditions, and human values as the Chinese population decreases. New businesses catering to foreigners are replacing traditional Chinese trades. Heritage buildings are also not being properly maintained and conserved according to guidelines. If changes are not managed carefully, Petaling Street risks losing what makes it unique and could lose its historic designation.
Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur, also known as Chinatown, is facing threats to its cultural heritage from urbanization. As the area modernizes and develops economically, it is losing many aspects of its traditional Chinese culture and the architectural integrity of its historic buildings. Foreign workers now outnumber Chinese residents and traditional trades are being replaced. The area's designation as a heritage zone has not stopped deterioration of building facades and loss of cultural practices. There is debate around the construction of MRT stations, as some see it as the beginning of the end for Chinatown. Solutions are needed to manage development while preserving cultural heritage for future generations.

7. What does “historic” mean?
• Instead of asking, "Is this building historic?", it may
make more sense to ask, "Is this building worth
saving?“
• Historic preservation is simply having the good
sense to hang on to something -- an older building
or neighborhood or a piece of landscape, for
instance -- because it's important to us as
individuals and/or as a nation.
8. What makes it important?
• Some older buildings are important simply
because they're good to look at.
• Others are worth saving because they have plenty
of good use left in them.
• Finally, some places are worth saving because
they link us with our past and help us understand
who we are.

name, kh, etpaRaise your hand if you grew up in an old house. Raise your hand if you love Downtown Knoxville and the historic buildings there. Raise your hand if you went to school in an old building and loved it.Talk about:How I got interested in historic preservation. Sort of a sad story.Background of Knox Heritage and the work we do.The regional efforts of the East Tennessee Preservation Alliance that started almost 4 years ago.
Iconic building in downtown KnoxvilleKnox Heritage created to advocate for its preservationCommunity-wide effort to raise funds to preserve the buildingLocal fundraising efforts: concerts, telethon, direct appealsLocal government fundingFederal grant fundingkh started in 1974 to save this building it was one of many downtown bldgs slated for demolition.I suppose this was KH's first revolving fund effort.
We saved the Bijou theatre and now it's one of the jewels of downtown Knoxville's recent revitalization. In a ny times article a few years ago, they called it one of the best sounding rooms in America.The organization was mostly dormant during the 80s and early 90s. then in the early 2000s the board really stepped it up and started recruiting more folks.In 2002 KH hired the first real full time staff. Kim Trent our Executive Director is still at the helm.We started building a solid group of constituents by hosting various events. Including our wildly successful summer suppers. This one is from a progressive downtown supper at the Y. Then we took on our second major building project to establish a new office space in the carriage house. We took out a loan from a local bank to restore the building and arranged free rent for 10 years.Then the J. Allen Smith House was torn down in what was Knoxville's highest profile demolition in a generation. It was the the event that galvanized Knox Heritage as a legitimate organization. Even though we lost the battle to save the building, we recruited members and financial support from the fight. We raised money to fund a new endangered properties fund.
Here's the fun part.As I mentioned, we always try and get the bldgs. donated. That being said, do not just accept any property. Be sure there is a market to sell the building.We've targeted specific in-town neighborhoods and then we target the worst houses on the block. We try and take ones that no one else would take and that would have a ripple effect on the street.
As you can see we have a diverse group of people on the committee.Each of these members (except staff) generously donate their time and expertise for the committee. We meet once a month at a set time in the evenings. We always provide snacks and wine.On Tuesday this wee we had a charette for our latest project.
Like all good property developers and non-profits, we cobble our funding together for each of the projects.There is no set way to put together funding for these projects, but it starts with the acquisition price. Ideally we get the properties donated or at a steep discount. Then we hire a contractor to get a firm estimate for the work to be done. From there our committee sets to work finding donated supplies.Sometimes we find grants. Our last project used new solar panels and other sustainable bldg. techniques so we managed to get a grant from the city.Most of our funds come from a loan from local banks that is then paid off when we sell the house.
With some of the funds we wanted to start a housing program that we call our Vintage Properties committee/program.We have done 10 houses with this committee. Each house has been a complete rehab and then sold to private owners.We are currently working on the 11th.
BeforeAfterI'd like to show off some of the before and afters of a handful of our projects. As you'll see we include the pre and pst property tax information. We emphasize the economic impact of these rehabs for the community.
This one was actually picked up and moved.
Then KH got really ambitious and took on 2 houses at one time as part of the Restore America project with HGTV.
Pay attention to the upper right hand corner of this one.
This is our most recent project that was completed and sold last summer. We called this one the green house because it was our first LEED certified house. It was important for us to show that preservation and sustainable building techniques go hand in hand.
we don't have accurate tax figures yet for this one, but we did just receive our LEED platinum designation last month. We're very proud to have the highest LEED rating.
This will be our largest and most ambitious project to date. This building has been donated to KH with the stipulation that we must raise $1m for the rehab. We've decided that since we haven't had a capital campaign since the 1970s that we'll maximize this opportunity and will raise $3m.RecapSo lay the foundation, select your properties strategically, and then revolve the funds.
