Strand A; Developing a taxonomy for culture and heritage capital

主要目标是开发一种文化和遗产资本（CHC）的分类法，阐明文化和遗产（C&H）产生的多种利益和价值，使我们能够在更广泛的经济评估和决策中重视C&H。它将使决策者能够“更好地了解我们需要在各个部门中一致地重视和衡量什么”（AHRC DCMS呼吁，2022年）。该分类法将以强大的理论和来自艺术和人文，经济学和自然科学的证据为基础。一项广泛的定性研究计划还将通过检查、挑战、精炼和社会化研究结果，将其定位于C&H的生活经验和实践中。文化和遗产联合会由一名经济学家领导，成员包括来自艺术和人文科学、自然科学和社会科学（包括经济学）的学者、政策执行者和顾问。一个由艺术、自然资本、政策、遗产科学和经济学专家组成的小组将提供支持和挑战，而网络组织将帮助研究团队与艺术、文化和遗产部门合作。在整个项目过程中，协调和沟通专家将为不同受众整理和共享可访问的内容。该研究将基于6个工作包（WP）为C&H建立股票、服务、福利和价值观框架。WP 1将借鉴其他部门/行业的现有分类法，为CHC分类法制定最佳做法指南和框架。第二工作方案将审查现有的分类系统和目前由C&H部门使用的种群、服务和价值分类，以制定一个分类法草案。WP 3将根据文献测试新兴的分类框架，并进一步发展它。WP 4使用审议和参与式研究方法来告知，检查和质疑调查结果。WP 5将综合研究成果，WP 6涵盖项目管理。AHRC/DCMS研究呼叫的链A是该呼叫中所有研究链的关键框架。我们提出了一个分阶段和迭代的方法，将在早期阶段提供临时的输出，这将是彻底的测试和完善的研究成熟超过30个月。一个与所有链的通信方案被纳入这个建议，假设将有需要与链B的合作和通信。我们的项目是创新的和实验性的，这是一个国际首创。它通过综合经济学、艺术和人文科学、自然科学和更广泛的社会科学的证据，解决了经济学和C&H之间的脱节问题。它将扩展学术知识，并建立跨学科的新联系。拟议的分类法将提供基于学术严谨性的尖端研究，并与利益相关者进行测试，挑战和共同设计，以确保研究可以操作并用于支持C&H更好的决策和成果。它将提供一个概念证明，扩大产出，解决本研究范围以外的互联性挑战。预计将产生广泛的影响：IM 1改善对C&H效益如何实现的理解和证据的获取，以告知HM财政部5案例模型中的战略案例。IM 2为CHC评估提供了一种系统的方法，以确保高质量的更可靠的证据，反映C&H文献中已知的价值。IM 3使该部门参与经济辩论，以解开经济学的共性和神秘化，以鼓励在经济平台上更多地参与和拥有。IM 4分类法将通过改进关于C&H如何产生效益的知识，支持更好地设计估值研究。IM 5 CHC分类将支持为C&H制定更全面的评估和监测框架。

The main objective is to develop a taxonomy of culture and heritage capital (CHC) that articulates the multiple benefits and values generated by culture and heritage (C&H)in a way that enables us to give weight to C&H in wider economic appraisal and decision-making. It will enable decision-makers to "better understand what we need to value and measure consistently across the sectors" (AHRC DCMS call, 2022). The taxonomy will be grounded in robust theory and evidence from the arts and humanities, economics and natural sciences. An extensive qualitative research programme will also locate it in the lived experiences and practices of C&H by checking, challenging, refining and socialising the findings. The Culture and Heritage Consortium is led by an economist and includes academics, policy practitioners and consultants from the arts and humanities, natural sciences and social sciences including economics. A panel of experts in the arts, natural capital, policy, heritage science and economics will provide support and challenge, whilst network organisations will help the research team collaborate with the arts, culture and heritage sectors. Throughout the project, coordination and communications experts will collate and share accessible content for different audiences.The research will build a stock, services, benefits and values framework for C&H based on 6 work packages (WP). WP1 will draw from existing taxonomies in other sectors/industries, producing a best practice guide and a framework(s) for the CHC taxonomy. WP2 will review existing classification systems and taxonomies of stocks, services and values currently used by the C&H sectors to develop a draft taxonomy. WP3 will test that emerging taxonomy framework against literature and develop it further. WP4 uses deliberative and participatory research methods to inform, check and challenge the findings. WP5 will synthesise the outputs of the research, WP 6 covers project management.Strand A of the AHRC/DCMS research call is a pivotal framework for all research Strands in this call. We propose a staged and iterative approach that will deliver provisional outputs at an early stage which will be thoroughly tested and refined as the research matures over 30 months. A programme of communications with all strands is built into this proposal with the assumption that there will be a need for collaboration and communication with Strand B of this call.Our project is innovative and experimental and it is an international first. It addresses the disconnection between economics and C&H by synthesising evidence from economics, arts and humanities, natural sciences and broader social sciences. It will extend scholarly knowledge and make new connections across disciplines. The proposed taxonomy will deliver cutting-edge research that is grounded in academic rigour and tested, challenged and co-designed with stakeholders to ensure the research can be operationalised and used to support better decisions and outcomes for C&H. It will provide a proof of concept that will widen the outputs and address interconnectivity challenges beyond the scope of this study. A wide range of impacts are expected: IM1 Improved understanding and access to evidence about how the benefits from C&H are realised to inform strategic cases in the HM Treasury 5 Cases Model for example. IM2 Provides a systematic approach for CHC valuation to ensure high quality more robust evidence that reflects values known in C&H literature. IM3 Engages the sector in an economic debate to unpack commonalities and de-mystify aspects of economics to encourage greater engagement and ownership on an economic platform. IM4 The taxonomy will support better design of valuation studies by improving the knowledge about how the benefits from C&H emerge. IM5 The CHC taxonomy will support the development of more holistic evaluation and monitoring frameworks for C&H.
