The Material Cultural Heritage as a Strategic Territorial Development Resource: Mapping Impacts Through a Set of Common European Socio-economic Indicators

Programme 2014 - 2020 ESPON 2020

Date of latest update: 2024-05-18

Description

Description (EN):

The service shall attempt to quantify the contribution (impact) of material cultural heritage to economical development in the stakeholder countries and regions over the past 5 years. Building on the work done by the European Heritage Heads Forum’s Economic Task Force and the European Commission, this research activity will define a list of economic sectors on which the material cultural heritage has an impact and perform data collection on the selected impact indicators. The main outcome should be a common theoretical framework, defining the most important economic sectors on which the material cultural heritage has an impact and developing the empirical evidence of such impact. This research activity will also develop a blueprint or in other words a step-by-step plan on how to build a monitoring system in the stakeholder countries that includes all actions necessary to obtain and maintain data for the defined impact indicators in the future. This study is named as one of the key studies by the “European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage” (adopted by the European Commission in December 2018). Economic statistics and indicators produced will be useful for understanding the economic contribution of the material cultural heritage. Overall the results will promote evidence-based decision making related to protection and promotion of material cultural heritage.

Expected Results (EN):

The objective of this activity is to formulate a set of socio-economic indicators for the material cultural heritage that is meaningful and internationally comparable and to provide data for these indicators for a selection of European countries and regions. This includes baseline data on the material cultural heritage in the stakeholder territories.More concretely, the objective of this activity is to satisfy the stakeholders’ knowledge need as defined below:- How can the socio-economic impact of the material cultural heritage be defined? In which economic sectors does the material cultural heritage contribute? How significant is this contribution?- How to measure the socio-economic impact of the material cultural heritage? How to express it in quantitative terms, considering reliability and validity, at the territorial level?- How to compare the results on impact of the material cultural heritage across (stakeholder) territories?- How to develop a monitoring system (at the territorial level) that can maintain regular surveillance over the material cultural heritage impact indicators, including development of time series and checking and reporting the status of the indicators? The main outcome of the service should be:- A common theoretical framework defining the economic sectors on which material cultural heritage has an impact.- A common methodological framework describing how to determine the impact material cultural heritage has on these economic sectors.- Evidence (collected data and set of indicators) on the economic impact of cultural heritage in stakeholder territories / regions over the past 5 years (for example e.g. cultural heritage-related gross value added in tourism, construction, etc.).- Step-by-step plan on how to develop a monitoring system (at the territorial level) to be used in the stakeholder countries, that includes all actions necessary to obtain data of the defined socio-economic impact indicators, building time series and checking and reporting the status of the indicators on a regular basis. It should also include an operational description of the data generating and reporting procedures
