The Local-to-Global Dynamics of World Heritage Interpretation

A study on the Le Morne Cultural Landscape Heritage Site reveals complex dynamics of local-to-global interpretation, highlighting diverse senses of attachment and contestation. The research employs a mixed-methods approach to analyze how cultural landscapes are perceived and interpreted at both local and global scales. It underscores the significance of understanding these dynamics in preserving and managing World Heritage Sites effectively. The findings contribute to broader discussions on heritage tourism and identity, emphasizing the need for inclusive and context-sensitive approaches in heritage conservation.
