遗产对社区的社会和文化健康十分重要，而地方对文化遗产的管理有能力增强和恢复文化特性。本文介绍了最近在Lakhnu -一个小村庄在北方邦，印度-恢复一个十九世纪的别墅，以前作为村学校作为教育设施。在这次讨论中，我们提请注意各群体管理其文化的权利。文化遗产的丧失与身份的丧失有关。我们认为，遗产项目有能力使社区保持他们的遗产和身份，并通过共享的“象征性遗产”的概念，为社会和物质进步提供有用的地方。在Lakhnu，我们计划唤起基层保护，使当地社区成为合法的利益相关者和决策者，鼓励和促进他们实现文化遗产的权利，并刺激社区的增长和能力建设。
Heritage is important for the social and cultural health of communities, whilst local stewardship of cultural heritage has the capacity to empower and recover cultural identity. This paper describes a recent project in Lakhnu – a small rural village in Uttar Pradesh, India – to restore a nineteenth century villa formerly used as the village school as an educational facility. In this discussion, we draw attention to the right of groups to manage their culture. The loss of cultural heritage is linked to a loss of identity. We argue that heritage projects have the capacity to empower communities to sustain their heritage and identity and provide useful places for social and material advancement through the concept of a shared ‘symbolic estate’. At Lakhnu, we plan to evoke grass-root conservation where local communities become the rightful stakeholders and decision-makers who are encouraged and facilitated in the realisation of their right to cultural heritage and to stimulate growth and build capacity for the community.
