THIS MONTH'S SPOTLIGHT: Heritage Conservation Strategies
from GDRC's Programme on Heritage and Conservation

Why heritage? Effective conservation of heritage resources not only help in revitalizing local economies, but also brings about a sense of identity, pride and belonging to the area's residents.

Heritage is now no longer just the perview of the field of archeology, and a number of stakeholders, not in the least, the local community, need to be involved for the success of heritage conservation strategies.

GDRC has been working on these and related issues. Resources on this topic are available at: http://www.gdrc.org/heritage/doc-repository.html

As with all sections of GDRC, contributions, comments and suggestions are always welcome from users and subscribers! Please contact GDRC's Coordinator at - mosaic@gdrc.org


FOCUS ON GDRC: LEARNING LESSONS
What, when, where, which, why who, how, whether

Asking different types of questions will help build the 'big' picture ...

In order to better understand any issue we are studying, it is necessary to look at it from all perspectives - so that a thorough assessment can be made.

So it is useful to keep the 'question starters' what, when, where, which, why, who, how, whether - in mind when gathering information on an issue. This eanbles us to develop a big picture, incorporating relevant views of all stakeholders.

There are many ways to make sure that comprehensive information is collected - and this is one fun way to ask questions (and maybe confuse the issue even more!).
