Archaeotourism (also called archaeological tourism) is one of the oldest tourism niches people have visited archaeological sites for centuries. A question that arises is whether less well-known archaeological sites have potential as archaeotourism destinations. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to determine whether Wonderboom Nature Reserve in South Africa has potential as an archaeotourism destination. To determine the potential of the Reserve as such a destination, the attractions of seven archaeotourism sites are discussed four World Heritage Sites and three less well-known archaeological sites based on a literature study. These sites are popular because they offer tourists interesting events and edutainment. Some contribute to nationhood and identity, and have aesthetic value and/or religious meaning. Some have personal significance, and offer mystery, nostalgia or adventure. In some cases, Google Street View is available. In respect of Wonderboom Nature Reserve, a sample of 35 visitors to the Reserve were interviewed in 2015 to gauge their perceptions of the site, using semi-structured interviews. Based on the findings of the literature study and the results of the interviews, the study concludes that Wonderboom Nature Reserve does have potential to be an archaeotourism destination. This conclusion is based on the reasons for which people visit World Heritage and less well-known archaeological sites. For Wonderboom Nature Reserve, it is clear that people visit the site for the Day of the Vow event, and for the four main attractions (Fort Wonderboompoort, the Wonderboom tree, the waterfall, and caves). Some come for nostalgic reasons, others for the various activities the Reserve offers, such as hiking. It is also a sacred site for the Southern Ndebele. Some visitors claimed that they wanted to search for the fabled Kruger millions on the site. The Reserve's rich historical and archaeological resources are also an attraction. However, for Wonderboom Nature Reserve to reach its full potential, this study concludes with a few recommendations, namely better maintenance and proper promotion of the site. Route markings need to be improved. This study is important because scholars often ignore less well-known archaeological sites and their potential contribution towards tourism. / Archaeotourism / Dissertation (MHCS)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Historical and Heritage Studies / MHCS / Unrestricted

The aim of this study is to find out to what extent Swedish teachers use locally significant history as a part of their teaching, how they define it, and how they value the use of it. By doing qualitative and open-ended interviews with two teachers at upper-secondary school and two high school teachers from different parts of Sweden, we managed to see a pattern in which all the teachers expressed similar experiences related to the subject. By coding, we discovered that the teachers' answers could be grouped in different themes regarding the teacher's own interest in the subject, local history as a tool for teaching along with its practical possibilities and obstacles. The geographical area in which the teachers worked, the financial aspect of arranging for field trips or visits as well as adapting to the Swedish curriculum for history were mainly discussed in the latter. Although there were slight differences between the answers, the four teachers expressed mostly positive attitudes towards using local history as a method in their teaching. If they were given the possibility to do so regarding funding, they expressed a desire to further implement it in their teaching. This would make it easier to arrange school trips or be able to hire people from historical and cultural institutions to come and visit the school.

Studies have shown that world heritage sites are regarded as environmental education (EE) resources. However, environmental activities are not integrated with the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) because the heritage educator and guides are not trained in EE, the heritage educator do not liaise with the Department of Education (DoE) especially the curriculum implementation unit and World Heritage Youth Forum. The purpose of this study is to establish the role that world heritage sites can play to provide adequate access to appropriate EE resources since this is a problem that hampers successful implementation of EE. The study gathered data through observation, document analysis, interviews and questionnaire. The data analysis was based on an inductive process that builds concepts. The study recommends training of heritage educator and guide in EE, heritage educator to liaise with Department of Education especially the curriculum implementation unit and the World Heritage Youth Forum to ensure effective implementation of environmental activities at the site. / Educational Studies / M.

In this thesis I examine three cities that have been nominated as world heritage sites by UNESCO, and how these cities are understood and mediated by visitors. One of the research questions was also to see how these places has been affected by the nomination. I have visited Visby, Dubrovnik and Toruń to do this research. I wanted to find out why so many people choose to visit these places and how much the world heritage nomination was part of the decision to visit. This is done by examining how these cities are mediated by travel literature, tourist information in the form of brochures and other information, as well as interviews. These interviews were conducted both with tourists at these sites, but also with people that work with tourism or cultural heritage in some form. The method used besides interviews has been thick description as it is formulated by Clifford Geertz to describe and make sense of these places and to see how you would experience these places as a tourist. The researchers that has figured as a theoretical background include John Urry and Andrew Walsh. Urry describes how the tourist uses different gazes to see the world in different ways, and Walsh describes how a place that seems to be irreplaceable might in fact not be so irreplaceable, which applies on the examined places in this thesis. Josefina Syssner and Karim van Knippenberg together with Linde Egberts lays a groundwork for the understanding of different sorts of tourists, and what tools can be used is place marketing of these cities. In agreement with previous research I conclude that the primary attraction of these sites for the tourists is not their status as world heritage sites, and the reason that these sites are troubled with mass tourism lies elsewhere. The place itself is replaceable for the majority of the tourists, but not for the material heritage. A better dialogue is needed between the tourism and heritage sector, as well as local residents and politicians, to be able to counteract the negative effects of mass tourism, that is shown to wear on the material culture. The mediation needs to include a more widespread picture of the complex issues that concerns these heritage sites. In todays globalized and mobile world, the idea of world heritage sites becomes problematic, as this work has shown. This thesis is a two years master’s thesis in Museum and cultural heritage.

A questão central em análise é a reconstituição de um campo de conflito em formação, e como, ao longo do processo, os moradores vão se transformando em sujeitos de direitos, com suas ambiguidades e contradições, através de um processo reflexivo, não-linear, com avanços e recuos, de avaliação sobre os usos do espaço público urbano. Apesar de se constituir numa experiência que afetou um pequeno número de moradores, foi capaz de mobilizar interlocutores em grande escala, desde moradores locais, técnicos do Estado e imprensa até representantes do Governo Federal e de organizações internacionais. O debate entre moradores e o governo permite observar concepções e valores distintos quanto à abordagem do patrimônio e à concepção da “revitalização”: a racionalidade do planejamento do governo e os interesses constituídos pelos moradores do local, que contrapuseram a “cidade planejada” e a “cidade vivida”, o patrimônio material e o patrimônio imaterial. O detalhamento deste conflito tem como base a documentação elaborada pelo trabalho de assessoria aos movimentos populares de luta por moradia, pelos procedimentos judiciais construídos em defesa dos moradores e por matérias de jornal. A partir desses documentos foram sendo analisadas as ações comunicativas de defesa e contestação elaboradas como justificativas nas arenas constituídas com vistas à construção da participação popular no projeto da 7ª Etapa de Revitalização do Centro Histórico de Salvador. O resultado deste trabalho mostra que o processo político não é linear; destaca as lutas no âmbito dos próprios moradores; avalia os limites e alcances do processo participativo e a contradição inerente aos usos do espaço urbano, especialmente nas situações de preservação de sítios históricos. This study seeks to analyze the conflicted field of the different uses of urban space within the 7th Stage of the Revitalization of the Historic Center at Pelourinho (Salvador, Bahia), observed from the viewpoint of the formation of public spheres of mediation and routing of conflicting interests among the residents and the State Government – both defending the heritage, but each one of your own point of view. The central question at hand is the reconstruction of a field of conflict in the making, and how, throughout the process, residents are transformed into subjects of rights, with its ambiguities and contradictions, through a reflective, non-linear process of assessment of the uses of public space, with advances and retreats. Even though this is an experience that affected only a small number of residents, it was able to mobilize large-scale actors, from local residents, technicians and state representatives to press the federal government and international organizations. In the debate between residents and State government one can observe different views and values about equity and the approach to the concept of "revitalization": the rationality of government planning and the interests generated by local residents, who countered the "planned city" and "lived city”, the “material heritage” and the “intangible heritage”. The details of this conflict is based on documentation prepared by the advisory work of popular movements fighting for housing, by the judicial procedures on behalf of the residents and by newspaper articles. From these documents it was possible to analyze the communicative actions of defense and disputation as justifications in the public arenas prepared to the construction of popular participation in the 7th Stage of the Revitalization of the Historic Center of Salvador. The result of this work shows that the political process is not linear; highlights the contradictions implicit in the context of the struggles of the residents themselves; assesses the limits and scope of the participatory process and the contradiction inherent in the use of urban space, especially in situations of preservation of heritage sites. / Salvador

This thesis deals with a specific group of historical sites called World Heritage, which are registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It characterizes the basic elements of the UNESCO World Heritage idea as a cultural and social process, which engages in acts of remembering that work to create ways to understand, present and interpret the past within the present social frameworks. The thesis brings to the attention a range of viewpoints about the nature of heritage in general and the UNESCO World Heritage in specific that have emerged in the relatively new area of academic interdisciplinary heritage studies. For the purposes of exploring different aspects of the World Heritage phenomenon, following themes of heritage discourse have been developed: remembering and making public use of the past, the UNESCO approach and the ways of presenting and interpreting the past. In order to give a sense of what World Heritage looks like on the ground this thesis details some aspects of three different World Heritage sites. To study such matters in the physical world a strategy of undertaking case studies of three specific UNESCO sites and employing the methods of direct observation and a fieldwork were chosen.

Could a performative reconstruction of the past be considered urban praxis? And if so, how? This paper analyses the connections between critical spatial and urban practices and embodied practices of remembering, by which historical reconstructions of the past are performed by collective bodies and communities in historical settings and heritage sites. Embodied practices of remembering include historical festivals, mediaeval fairs, battle reenactments, and living dioramas that relate to our common past, shifting between mediating experience and what is referred to as “doing history”. Immersing the participant in a mediated past, such practices make use of sensuousness and affect to produce and disseminate knowledge, playing with specific relationships between times [past-present] and spaces [urban-rural]. More specifically, this paper will inquire into how embodied practices of remembering reconfigure established understandings of the concepts of authenticity, accessibility and antagonism by analysing a widely cited example, Jeremy Deller’s 'The Battle of Orgreave' [UK, 2001].
