Heritage Preservation Under Sustainable Development and Community Inclusion: Semiotic and Discursive Mapping of Saint Petersburg

A discursive and semiotic mapping approach reveals that community values, urban identity, and cultural meanings shape heritage preservation in Saint Petersburg. The study, based on analyzing over 1000 artefacts from a five-year program involving young people, demonstrates how non-verbal representations reflect UNESCO's city code rooted in cultural values. This method highlights the opposition between discursive and non-verbal elements, offering a tool for sustainable development and community inclusion in urban planning. Similar research confirms that such mappings can effectively engage residents, fostering cooperation and place-based identity.
