Towards participatory governance in the management of cultural heritage ecosystems: The Colombian Coffee Cultural Landscape

Research identifies three distinct visitor and resident segments within Colombia's Coffee Cultural Landscape, each characterized by varying levels of engagement and valuation intensity. These groups' perceptions of government actions significantly influence their participation, underscoring the potential for participatory governance models to enhance sustainability and local economic development in cultural heritage ecosystems. The study innovatively combines latent class modeling with multiple correspondence analysis to classify audience behavior, providing actionable insights for heritage management strategies.
