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.
