This research proposes to look at how the experience, identity and sense of belonging for Jewish communities are affected by and interact with their built environment. This will include an analysis of the research already undertaken into the urban built environment of Jewish communities, both active and 'defunct', alongside other interdisciplinary cultural studies concerning other minority faiths, cultures and communities. I will also analyse the current representation of minority heritage in 'traditional' sites of heritage interaction, such as museums, and, more specifically, review how and which aspects of Jewish heritage are presented. This will include looking at discussions surrounding history versus heritage - the narrative of the past versus the values placed on practices, objects or places because of an historical narrative - and how these fit into Jewish communities' experiences. The above research would form the basis of my secondary research, whilst my primary research will focus on engagement with Jewish communities themselves. Whilst there have been studies into architectural buildings and sites of Jewish heritage, Sharman Kadish's Jewish Heritage in Britain and Ireland: An Architectural Guide being the most notable, many of the studies so far have concentrated more on statistical and quantitative analysis over qualitative data (Kadish 2015). There are exceptions, such as the report by Historic England on British Jewish Cemeteries and the challenges around preserving them, but very little qualitative analysis on the relationship between space and heritage for Jewish communities has been undertaken (Barker Langham, 2015). In order to contribute to this gap in knowledge, I propose to use ethnographical methods of data collection, as utilised in the Barker Langham consultation report and other studies in the field of minority cultures and identity. These include conducting interviews, questionnaires and observing and engaging with communities to understand how their access to, and use of, space impacts their ideas of heritage and relates to on their identity. I will look to see if these findings reflect either the work that has already been done in this area and the current presentation of Jewish heritage in wider heritage interactions. I hope to engage with Jewish communities that represent both a geographical spread across the country, differing sizes of communities and different denominations. This would not only allow a comparison in terms of whether being a part of large community impacts on identity but also whether different theological standpoints enhances or diminishes these connections. It is hoped that this research will create a better understanding of the Jewish communities' interaction with their heritage and lead to a deeper understanding of their sense of place, identity, belonging as modern British Jews. Alongside this I hope that it will be able to provide suggestions for future heritage management plans for both Jewish communities and heritage professionals to showcase the diversity of the British Jewish community.

这项研究建议研究犹太社区的经验，身份和归属感如何受到其建筑环境的影响并互动。这将包括对已经对活跃和“已解散”的犹太社区城市建筑环境进行的研究的分析，以及其他跨学科文化研究，涉及其他少数群体信仰，文化和社区。我还将分析当前在遗产互动的“传统”遗址（例如博物馆）中的少数族裔遗产的代表，更具体地说，更具体地回顾了犹太遗产的方式和哪些方面。这将包括查看有关历史与遗产的讨论 - 由于历史叙事的实践，对象或地点的价值观，过去的叙述与这些价值观的叙述 - 以及它们如何适应犹太社区的经历。上述研究将构成我的二级研究的基础，而我的主要研究将着重于与犹太社区本身的互动。尽管已经研究了犹太遗产的建筑建筑和地点，Sharman Kadish在英国和爱尔兰的犹太遗产：建筑指南是最值得注意的，但到目前为止，许多研究都集中在定性数据（Kadish 2015）的统计和定量分析上。有例外，例如历史悠久的英格兰关于英国犹太公墓的报告以及围绕它们的挑战，但是对犹太社区的太空与遗产之间的关系几乎没有定性分析（Barker Langham，2015年）。为了为知识的差距做出贡献，我建议使用民族志数据收集的民族志方法，如Barker Langham咨询报告和其他少数群体文化和身份领域的其他研究中所用。其中包括进行访谈，问卷调查以及观察和与社区互动，以了解其进入和使用空间的访问方式会影响他们的遗产观念并与他们的身份有关。我将研究这些发现是否反映了在这一领域已经完成的工作以及当前在更广泛的遗产互动中的犹太遗产的演讲。我希望与犹太社区互动，这些犹太社区既代表着遍布全国的地理位置，不同的社区和不同的教派。这不仅允许对大型社区的一部分对身份产生影响，而且还可以进行比较。希望这项研究能够更好地理解犹太社区与遗产的互动，并对他们的位置，身份，属于现代英国犹太人的地位感，更深入地理解。除此之外，我希望它将能够为犹太社区和遗产专业人士的未来遗产管理计划提供建议，以展示英国犹太社区的多样性。引用的作品：Barker Langham。 （2015）。犹太墓地：理解价值观。为历史悠久的英格兰进行的报告。 [在线的]。可在https://research.historicengland.org.uk/report.aspx?i= 1579中找到。 [2020年10月9日访问]。 kadish。 S.（2015）。英格兰的犹太遗产：建筑指南。斯温顿：英国遗产。
