Summary:

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 15 de octubre de 2007

Certainly, the implementation of cultural heritage actions is linked to its use and enjoyment by society, and this heritage must be managed in a sustainable way, as the perishable product it is. Similarly, it is unquestionable that the management of cultural heritage has to be economically profitable, and therefore, it contributes to the improvement of the socioeconomic conditions of society. Cultural heritage is accepted as a resource capable to generate local economic development. However, there is a lack of a valid methodology for the measurement and evaluation of the impact of the cultural heritage management of that contribution. It is necessary, therefore, to deepen in the models, parameters and indicators that allow to measure the contribution of the cultural heritage management to the local development.

For that reason, this congress will welcome contributions to any of the three following topics proposed:

1. Models and experiences of local development from the sustainable management of cultural heritage.

2. Situation of the indicators of the local development plans based on the use of cultural resources.

3. Institutional strengthening and governability, on a local scale, and sustainable management of cultural heritage.

Always within the framework of the general topic: The management of cultural heritage and the local development.
