Sustainable heritage management of WAterway REgions

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-12-02

Description

Description (EN):

The waterway regions involved in SWARE all share unique natural and cultural heritage: protected areas with rich biodiversity and a bunch of enticing historic cities and buildings connected to water. These amenities make them more and more attractive for leisure activities resulting in an ever growing number of visitors (30-50% increase in the past 10 years) which causes tensions with heritage conservation aspects. All SWARE partners recognize that the socio-economic future of their regions is fundamentally depending on finding the synergies between preserving the cultural and natural values for the next generations and at the same time "opening their gates" with a controlled visitor management. By demonstrating the economic value that a „green” leisure industry can bring to a region, it can build strong public and political support both for heritage protection and sustainable valorisation thereof. What SWARE strives for is achieving a better balance between protection and sustainable exploitation of the valuable natural and cultural resources through improving the development programmes and policies of the partner regions, based on the transfer of good practices of other participating regions. Partners share the common bottleneck of fragmented governance structures without proper cooperation forms, therefore SWARE will stimulate the establishment of new participatory governance schemes having a much better potential to implement efficient policies contributing to the sustainable regional development. As an overall result, decision-makers, public and private players, as well as inhabitants will gain a better knowledge and commitment towards protecting and sustainably “using” their environmental and cultural assets.

Achievements (EN):

In terms of activities, the project has organised a total of 84 policy learning events. It has also identified 20 good practices, produced 5 action plans and led to the increased capacity of 57 people. In terms of results, the project has succeeded in improving 8 regional development policies for a total amount of funds influenced of EUR 7,531,157. 87.

Expected Results (EN):

The overall objective of the project is to foster integrated management of natural and cultural heritage within inland waterway regions by improving the partner regions’ related policy instruments in order to create a better balance between the protection and sustainable exploitation of the natural resources and the built heritage sites. This goal can be achieved through developing coordinated regional management structures addressing protection, development, valorisation and promotion of the cultural and natural assets in a holistic and sustainable manner. A common vision on sustainable development combining environmental and economic benefits needs the involvement of all relevant stakeholders into decisionmaking processes which calls for the establishment of integrated multilevel and participatory governance schemes and frameworks, which is a first subobjective of SWARE. Cocreation of joint development strategies and actions of waterway regions requires horizontal and vertical, as well as crosssectoral cooperation between public authorities, local communities and private players particularly amongst the actors within the heritage protection schemes and the leisure industry. New approaches always have to achieve first a widespread support and commitment, therefore the second subobjective of SWARE is raising awareness and create a common understanding in all related sectors (decisionmakers, public authorities and businesses, as well as the wide public, especially nearby residents) towards the holistic interpretation of sustainable valorisation of heritage sites and the need for shaping an ecoconscious attitude of visitors of these valuable environments. Informal education on sustainability and conservation issues could generate sensitisation of the target groups and boost active community engagement with the aim to foster also voluntary initiatives in heritage protection.

Expected Outputs (EN):

The most important outputs of SWARE are the 5 Regional Action plans addressing the improvement of the respective policy instruments related to natural & cultural heritage management. Besides, the main thematic outputs will be: 7 Thematic Working Group meetings, 45stakeholder meetings, 5 State of Arts, 20 good practices collected, 1 Guidelines for knowledge sharing, 3 Interregional Exchange Sessions, 2 trainings for partners and 1 cross-reading exercise. As a direct result, 32 persons (staff & stakeholders) directly involved in the project implementation and further 570 persons through the Stakeholder and Institutional Groups (SIGs) will become better equipped and more effective in developing and implementing heritage related regional programmes and policies. By implementing the action plans with the involvement of appr. 120 stakeholder organisations, as an overall result, the performance of 5 regional development policies and programmes will be improved. New policy measures born from good practices will boost participatory governance schemes creating a better balance between the protection and sustainable exploitation of the natural/cultural resources of waterway regions thus securing economic sustainability of heritage conservation for the long-run. The LP-VRW and Tipperary County Council (TCC) seek to transfer the lessons learnt on integrated governance, awareness raising and sustainable heritage valorisation into the addressed province/county-level development program. A series of projects will be designed and implemented triggering more effective, integrated regional heritage management, to be funded under the specific Operational Programme they address. SWARE will substantially stimulate stakeholder commitment related to sustainable heritage valorisation within the participating regions. Increased engagement of inhabitants towards protecting and promoting the environmental/cultural values of their localities can boost bottom-up community initiatives and local identity. Thanks to the common understanding and synergies created between the heritage conservation bodies and the players of the leisure industry, a smarter integration of heritage assets into the recreational offer will further enhance regional attractiveness. As another positive side-effect, new job opportunities and green investments will be triggered in alignment with the sustainable growth concept vital for the future of these territories. In turn, improved environmental quality will be achieved which, together with the widened ‘green’ recreational opportunities will contribute to the general well-being of the inhabitants. The upgraded green infrastructure (e.g. forests, wetlands) will also enhance the delivery of ecosystem services resulting in growing local economic and social benefits.
