该研究探讨了当地居民对历史遗迹的价值，重点是它们的社会经济价值。它还探讨了传统文化遗产管理（CHM）对此漠不关心的影响。通过对坦桑尼亚Kilwa Kisiwani世界遗产地的22名居民的深入调查，研究发现，居民们不仅认为遗迹具有文化价值，而且认为它们是一个保护项目和旅游景点，他们可以从中赚钱和就业，并看到基础设施和社会设施得到发展。调查还发现，非法挖洞建造厕所和集水器、让家畜在废墟中游荡、在古老的地下墙中采石、生火等破坏性活动，在一定程度上是由于社会经济效益有限、商业机会不稳定、对就业和薪酬的抱怨，以及几乎没有可行的谋生方式。通过与社会经济话语的接触，本研究拓宽了我们对更广泛的社会议程中保护整合的理解，并有助于经济学家-人类学关于CHM的辩论。它为遗产管理者和政策制定者提供了保持遗产可持续性的替代策略。
The study explored the value that local residents place on historic ruins, focusing on their socio-economic value. It also explored the implications of conventional Cultural Heritage Management's (CHM) indifference to this. Using in-depth data from 22 residents in Kilwa Kisiwani World Heritage Site in Tanzania, the study found that residents not only attach cultural value to the ruins, but also consider them a conservation project and tourist attraction, from which they can earn money and get employment and see infrastructure and social facilities developed. It also found that the destructive activities of illegally digging to construct toilets and water collectors, letting domestic animals wander in the ruins, quarrying old underground walls for coral stones, and lighting fires are partly the result of limited socio-economic benefits, inconsistent business opportunities, complaints about employment and payment, and few feasible alternatives for making a living. By engaging with the socio-economic discourse, this study broadens our understanding of the integration of conservation in the broader social agenda, and contributes to the economist-anthropologic debate on CHM. It informs heritage managers and policy makers on alternative strategies that would maintain the sustainability of the heritage.
