This project seeks to advance understanding about how experience of the historic environment creates forms of social value, including its contribution to people's sense of identity, memory, and belonging. Value is central to how aspects of the historic environment are designated, managed and conserved as heritage. For much of the twentieth century this was primarily linked to what have been seen as intrinsic historic, aesthetic and scientific values. More recently there has been increasing emphasis, in both public policy and conservation practice, on the social values derived from active use of the historic environment. There are considerable difficulties surrounding how these different kinds of value should be weighed up against one another. This is exacerbated by a lack of understanding about social value, which falls largely outside of the kinds of expert knowledge traditionally associated with the heritage sector. Furthermore, social value is not readily captured by quantitative methods or easily subjected to instrumental forms of cost-benefit analysis. Through a critical review of existing research, this project will examine current knowledge and understanding of social value. Encompassing the significance of the historic environment to contemporary communities, social value relates to people's sense of identity, distinctiveness, belonging, and place, as well as forms of memory and spiritual association. Particular attention will be focused on the modes of experience, engagement and practice that inform people's relationships with the historic environment. The project will consider the thorny issue of how to deal with the dynamic, iterative, and embodied nature of these relationships and the value created through them. It will also explore increasing evidence that points of crisis and conflict, including those associated with difficult and traumatic forms of memory, are particularly potent contexts for the creation of value. The range of methodologies used in existing research and surveys will be critically discussed, along with their application in the spheres of heritage conservation and public policy. Finally, the appropriateness of a conceptual apparatus that tends to quantify and fix values will be examined. The possibilities for capturing more fluid processes of valuing the historic environment will be considered, along with the implications for other spheres of the Arts and the Cultural Sector.

该项目旨在促进人们了解历史环境的经验如何创造社会价值的形式，包括其对人们身份，记忆和归属感的贡献。价值是如何将历史环境的各个方面指定，管理和保存为遗产的核心。在20世纪的大部分时间里，这主要与被视为内在的历史，美学和科学价值有关。最近，在公共政策和保护实践中，人们对积极使用历史环境所获得的社会价值的重点越来越重。如何将这些不同种类的价值互相权衡存在很大的困难。缺乏对社会价值的理解，这使情况加剧了，这在很大程度上落在传统上与遗产部门相关的专家知识之外。此外，社会价值不容易被定量方法捕获，也不容易受到成本效益分析的工具形式。通过对现有研究的批判性审查，该项目将研究当前对社会价值的知识和理解。社会价值涵盖了历史环境对当代社区的重要性，与人们的身份，独特性，归属和地点以及记忆和精神关联形式有关。特别关注的关注将集中在经验，参与和实践的方式上，以告知人们与历史环境的关系。该项目将考虑如何处理这些关系的动态，迭代和体现性质以及通过它们创造的价值的棘手问题。它还将探索越来越多的证据表明，危机和冲突的要点（包括与困难和创伤形式的记忆形式相关的点）是创造价值的尤其有效的背景。现有研究和调查中使用的方法范围将进行严格讨论，以及它们在遗产保护和公共政策领域的应用。最后，将检查倾向于量化和修复值的概念设备的适当性。将考虑捕获更评估历史环境的更多流动过程的可能性，以及对艺术和文化部门其他领域的影响。
