Presentation

  • The project aims at creating a research consortium that will summarize the state of knowledge and experience as well as creatively develop a methodology for analyzing the value of the protection, preservation and modern use of heritage.
  • To use the experiences, methods and results of research on cultural heritage values that are conducted with regard to different types of heritage and in different conditions.
  • The main goal of the project is the widest possible use of international experience, gained in relation to different typological groups of heritage, and in relation to various systems of heritage valuation.
  • The main research objective of this project is to develop a holistic valuation methodology that will enable the perception and analysis of cultural heritage in the overall context of environmental conditions (cultural, ecological, social, economic dimensions).
  • The project consists of three main tasks: elaboration and synthesis of the state-of-art; elaboration SMART Values methodology; Apply SMART Values methodology in pilot projects (analysis of selected heritage properties).

Impacts & Results

  • The methodology developed as a result of the project will be open-sourced to allow the valuation of heritage, taking into account different points of view.
  • The project results will have the practical value - developed valuation model will be disseminated and will allow to optimize the activities concerning conservation, protection and use of heritage as well as significantly improve the understanding of stakeholders involved in these processes.
  • The added value resulting from the implementation of the project within the consortium will be the involvement and integration of researchers representing different conditions and scientific traditions - the synergetic effect will be achieved.
  • This project targets the development of a complex methodology of analysis of cultural heritage as a result of a cooperative effort to share experiences and references among the partners.
  • The project results will have practical value - the developed valuation model will be disseminated and will allow optimisation of activities concerning conservation, protection and use of heritage as well as significantly improving the understanding of stakeholders involved in these processes.
  • The pilot project will facilitate the development of models of value analysis for chosen heritage categories with the application of SMART Values methodology.
  • Such flexibility is expected to facilitate its adoption and implementation in other cultural heritage properties than the ones used as case studies.
