he challenge of cultural heritage shared management in developing countries

Аннотация

This research study is situated within the context of the North-East Region of Brazil and focuses on the investigation of the heritage conservation system in cities considered World Heritage Sites in this area. The aim of this paper is to discuss management tools such as shared management and social participation for historical centres situated within harsh social, economic and political contexts, where heritage preservation is not usually seen as an essential component of the urban development process in the face of poverty and social inequality. A brief representative case study is presented as an example of a successful practice of shared management in São Luís, Brazil.
