Cultural Heritage, People and Place: Understanding value via a regional case study

文化遗产、人和地方：通过一个区域案例研究项目了解价值AHRC DCMS呼吁与跨学科团队一起研究文化和遗产资本。它力求从整体上解决呼吁B和C中提出的重叠主题领域(“探索衡量人们为什么重视文化和遗产以及经济技术的方法之间的联系”，以及“界定非使用价值并将其纳入社会成本效益分析”)。它通过三个一致的研究问题与这些问题接触：1)在确定和发展更多方面和相关的非使用价值定义时，如何利用场所和文化的叙述？2)这些价值如何在更广泛的文化生态系统中保持一致，次级数据中的交叉和差距是什么，以及如何使这些变得可见？3)哪些跨学科方法和互动可以用来定义、刺激和衡量多标度场所特定的物质和非物质文化遗产价值？为了解决这些问题，它将使用一种混合的方法来调查当前文化主导的倡议，专注于深入研究，探索及时和高度相关的利物浦国家博物馆(NML)滨水改造项目，NML作为该项目的研究合作伙伴。这一案例研究提供了一个理想的试点地点和项目，除了与区域议程相关外，它还将产生适用于全国的结论和建议。在这里，该项目将利用现有的和新出现的数据，并通过跨部门合作和共同创建战略产生新的数据，这些战略为捕捉、阐述和分析文化和遗产的不同价值制定必要的整体方法。利物浦和城市地区将进一步提供更广泛的社会、经济和文化背景，在许多方面定义了评估文化价值的挑战(S)。这座城市拥有丰富的物质和非物质文化遗产资产，但它和更广泛的城市区域继续面临重大的社会和经济挑战以及空间不平等。在这里，可以看到文化和相关实践的价值(S)超越了经济--或者至少不是不可避免地与经济联系在一起--而且往往很难捕捉到。

The Cultural Heritage, People and Place: Understanding value via a regional case study project addresses the AHRC DCMS call Research culture and heritage capital with an interdisciplinary team. It seeks to holistically address overlapping thematic areas set out in strands B and C of the call ("exploring linkages between methodologies that measure why people value culture and heritage and economic techniques" and "defining and incorporating non-use values into social cost benefit analysis"). It engages with these through three aligned research questions:1) How might narratives of locale and culture be drawn upon in the identification and development of more multifaceted and relevant definitions of non -use value? 2) How do these values align within the wider cultural ecosystem, what are the intersections and gaps across secondary data, and how might these be made visible? 3) Which cross disciplinary methods and interactions can be used to define, stimulate and measure multi scalar locale specific tangible and intangible cultural heritage values?To address these, it will use a mixed methods approach that investigates current culture-led initiatives, focusing on an in depth study exploring the timely and highly relevant National Museums Liverpool (NML) Waterfront Transformation project, with NML as this project's research partner. This case study provides an ideal pilot site and project which will yield nationally applicable findings and recommendations in addition to its relevance to regional agendas. Here, the project will engage with existing and emergent data and produce new data through cross sectoral collaboration and co-creation strategies that develop the necessary holistic approach for capturing, articulating and analysing diverse values of culture and heritage. Liverpool and the city region will further provide a wider socio economic and cultural context that in many ways defines the challenges of evaluating cultural value(s). The city has rich tangible and intangible cultural heritage assets but it, and the wider city region, continue to face significant social and economic challenges and spatial inequalities. Here, the value(s) of culture and associated practices can be seen to go beyond - or are, at least, not inextricably bound to- the economic and are often difficult to capture.
