4. CONCLUSIONS 
On the role of education, the Athens Charter recognizes that 
“the best guarantee in the matter of the preservation of 
monuments and works of art derives from the respect and 
attachment of the peoples themselves.” To avoid the 
proliferation of Xintiandi, Faneuil Hall, and Yebisu Garden 
Place around the world, and the growing homogeneity of the 
place experiences they offer, preserving the integrity of the host 
community, one that is an active facilitator and supporter of 
conservation, will be critical. In this respect, multimedia 
technology along with the digial network could and should play 
a vital role by supporting and advancing effective 
communication, learning and education for all concerned. 
The legacies of historic places cannot be assured until a well- 
prepared host communities themselves can take part in deciding 
what is significant about the place, how significant it is, and 
why it is significant. Only then can the historic essence of an 
authentic place be preserved through the changes of time. 
What is authentic about the past depends as much on who is 
making the evaluation as on how the evaluation is made. Simply 
put, the evaluator is as critical as the evaluative criteria and 
process, if not more. The same also holds true when making a 
decision on what continues to be significant as the future 
unfolds for a living place - especially if we are to avoid the 
growing ranks of look-alike historic places around the globe. 
Despite outward differences, be it tangible or intangible, the 
inherent substance that breaths life into culture, that makes each 
place genuinely unique, i.e., authentic, can not be sustained 
without an informed and educated host community that cares.
