access to cultural heritage with sustainable cultural tourism and natural heritage. Built heritage plays an important role in expressing
tangible and intangible values. They are visual links to the past, revealing how communities evolve socially, technologically and
culturally. While some have retained their original function, some others have been adapted for new uses. Unfortunately, with
the rapid increase of population and urbanization world-wide, many of these structures are increasingly under the threat of
demolition, or in countries like the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and Italy they are under significant pressure to be
environmentally sustainable; in other words, function with reduced carbon emissions while still retaining their heritage values.

• Institutional: Policies, regulatory framework, practices, legislation, strategies from local to national level having potential for
replication elsewhere. Decision making process effective in assigning clear roles and duties to participatory actors and agencies.
Management system that helps in mobilization of financial, technical and human resources in an efficient, transparent and
accountable way.

TRANSFERABILITY

A critical part of a good heritage conservation strategy that fosters and preserves both tangible and intangible assets, is the issue of
heritage skill transfer. Skill transfer can take place in a variety of ways. These include for example, apprenticeships where youth can
learn the skills under a master craftsman.
