Aunque el Patrimonio Cultural es fuente reconocida de bienestar, su sobreexplotación turística genera fuertes impactos negativos, agravados en las grandes ciudades por la concentración de efectos en ...el espacio. Este trabajo aborda el caso de Madrid, ciudad que cuenta en su periferia metropolitana con activos patrimoniales de primer nivel, cuyo mejor aprovechamiento turístico ayudaría a mitigar el impacto negativo en la capital, a la vez que contribuiría al desarrollo económico y social de la periferia. En la investigación se aplicó un planteamiento metodológico dinámico con cuatro planos de análisis complementarios: documental y de redes, cualitativo, cuantitativo y procesos participativos. Los resultados evidencian la necesidad de adoptar estrategias de gestión cultural y de planificación turística orientadas al reequilibrio de los flujos de visitantes. La activación de los propios vecinos se revela como un recurso especialmente valioso para fortalecer un turismo de proximidad, experiencial y más sostenible. El impacto de la Covid-19, por una parte, y la declaración del Paseo del Prado y el Retiro como Patrimonio de la Humanidad, por otra, han puesto aún más de actualidad esta situación.
The concept of archaeological heritage management (AHM) has been key to wider archaeological research and preservation agendas for some decades. Many universities and other education providers now ...offer what is best termed heritage management education (HME) in various forms. The emphasis is commonly on archaeological aspects of heritage in a broad sense and different terms are often interchangeable in practice. In an innovative working-conference held in Tampere, Finland, we initiated a debate on what the components of AHM as a course or curriculum should include. We brought together international specialists and discussed connected questions around policy, practice, research and teaching/training, at local, national, transnational and World Heritage levels. In this article we take the Tampere discussions further, focusing especially on the meaning, necessity, implications and prerequisites of interdisciplinary HME. We offer our thoughts on developing HME that reflects the contemporary aspects and needs of heritage and its management.
Ten years seems little time to assess the future of such a relatively young topic as Public Archaeology (PA) is, in special in Spain and in the academic arena. I divide my answer in two classic ...parts: present and future. By understanding the present (based on the past) we can try to guess (more or less) the future… Even if we think in the context of a pandemic, predicting the future of anything becomes really uncertain and reckless. If I may write, there is a high level of uncertainty and luck in getting it right.

Community engagement is a widespread requirement in current archaeological work. However, heritage management still lacks public participation in many regions. This paper aims to offer an example of ...community engagement as applied research in the context of an international conference. In order to do so, the strategy, the actions for the targeted communities and the outcomes of those actions will be presented, with a special focus on the context of World Heritage and the outcomes of the three conferences.
This paper presents a preliminary approach to the social perception of the Pretos Novos Institute, a museum in Brazil. The work is part of a common research line on archaeological management ...strategies in Latin-American World Heritage cities. The museum is part of a tourist route, which in turn is integrated into a project of urban revitalization of downtown Rio de Janeiro, called Porto Maravilha. Our objective is to present the methodology and preliminary data on the relationship between this institution and the surrounding communities. These initial results suggest that the project caused negative impacts on the neighborhood, although urban regeneration in itself may be considered positive. Likewise, by means of this work we warn against and reflect on the potential contribution of this process to cultural homogenization, a process to which heritage declarations should not contribute.
Convergent ideas on common interest themes have led us to start some joint studies. These researches focus on archaeological management strategies in Ibero-American cities declared World Heritage by ...UNESCO and also the relationships between cultural heritage and communities in the most different urban contexts. This article is dedicated to one of them. It is the result of a pilot experiment carried out in the final stages of the R & D project "The Archaeological Dimension in World Heritage Cities: Advances in Heritage Management in Alcalá de Henares, Puebla and La Habana". We intended to gather data on the relationship between the communities that inhabit the peripheral quarter of Catholic Kings and the cultural assets in this context, specifically the museum ruins of the Roman city of Complutum, for behavioral guidelines for structuring a future project. The objective of this article is to present the results of the field surveys, carried out in November 2015 and June 2016, when we tried two different methodologies, namely non - systematic observation and drift. The results obtained suggest that the museum's archaeological site is part of the everyday life of neighbors, members of a changing neighborhood, currently marked by its multicultural features and resonance with other memory milestones in the neighborhood.
