The advent of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has had and is having a major impact on Indonesian cultural resource management, and on the safeguarding methods of its tangible and intangible cultural heritages. Despite varied levels and visible gaps between rural and urban regions in terms of technology usage, innovative initiatives have been created, which correspond to the needs and expectations of a technology-savvy public. As a starting point, a number of public institutions dealing with tangible cultural heritage (e.g. museums, palaces, temples, World Heritage Sites (WHS) do use innovative digital tools in order to communicate to various audiences, as well as to enrich visitors' experience, especially taking into consideration young generations. This paper will firstly examine the role of ICTs in intangible cultural heritage (ICH) (e.g. Batik, Wayang puppet theatre, etc.); secondly, the authors will explain how ICTs can help to communicate and promote the values, history, and significances of ICH products, both for locals and tourists, with the goal of raising awareness on cultural identity. However, the knowledge of ICH still requires contacts with its own communities and is vulnerable, as it can be exposed to excessive cultural commoditization through e-platforms. This study aims at giving an overview and some examples of digital interventions for cultural heritage communication implemented by various stakeholders in Indonesia. In addition, this paper analyses to what extent a participatory approach engaging local communities, academics, private sectors, NGOs and the government, can ensure higher levels of effectiveness and efficiency, hence supporting the conservation of UNESCO tangible/ICH in Indonesia. This paper aims at: (1) presenting the development of digital heritage platforms in Indonesia; (2) providing a grid of analysis of digital heritage knowledge platforms dedicated to UNESCO tangible and ICH in forms of websites and mobile apps.

Kunnen universele musea nog wel, vandaag de dag? Met hun autoritaire neutraliteit, modernistische inrichting, harde objectiviteit? Dat was de vraag die Indiase kunsthistorica Kavita Singh stelde tijdens de Reinwardt Memorial Lecture op 4 juni 2014. De gelegenheid was de viering van de 241ste geboortedag van de naamgever Caspar Reinwardt van de Academie. Van de lezing is een boekje gepubliceerd: Museums, Heritage, Culture. Into the Conflict Zone.

The Dutch national CO2 emission targets for heritage buildings are a 60% reduction by 2040. However, holistic insights on the impact of this reduction on heritage values, energy performance, and CO2 emissions are understudied. In this article, the impact in four heritage buildings by comparing the situation before and after the renovation process was studied. These energy reduction measures were part of a larger restoration or adaptive reuse process. We used archival documentation about the original design, assessed project documentation regarding the previous technical conditions of materials, and conducted fieldwork. The data was used in a heritage assessment, focussing on cultural, historical, architectural, ensemble, authenticity, and rarity values. Energy performance and CO2 emissions were calculated based on desk research, fieldwork, and additional information provided by the owners. The CO2 emission calculations included all materials that were removed or added during the construction process. We concluded that in some cases, heritage values have been degraded by the energy reduction measures, whereas in other cases, they were improved. In all cases, we found that heritage values were lost to a certain extent. The impact on energy performance and CO2 emissions varied. CO2 emissions for operational energy were reduced by approximately 52% on average, and CO2 emissions for carbon energy were reduced by approximately 6% on average. Therefore, we conclude that energy‐efficient restoration of heritage buildings considerably reduces environmental impact but comes at a cost to heritage values.

In september 2019 startte op Instituut Archimedes, de lerarenopleiding van Hogeschool Utrecht, het initiatief Cultural Heritage and Education. Dit project stelt zich ten doel jongeren (elf tot veertien jaar) door middel van educatie bewust te maken van het belang van cultureel erfgoed in hun leefomgeving en het behoud ervan voor toekomstige generaties.

Ameland, a Dutch Wadden Sea island, is blessed with many historical buildings, such as captains’ houses, which make up picturesque townscapes. Together with the attractions of sandy beaches, these quaint villages attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Ameland also has the ambitious goal to become self-sufficient in renewable energy. Our (practical) aim is to support local stakeholders with the design of energy transition strategies that take account of heritage values.
Theoretically, we rely on a layered framework, where meanings and values of individual buildings, townscapes, landscapes, local historical narratives, as well as economic and social values can find a place. In our project, we encountered value conflicts and will discuss how these conflicts can be resolved. In this respect, we refer to the concept of a value hierarchy.
We investigate heritage values held by inhabitants of Ameland. What aspects of their built environment do they value in particular? How are specific building types, historical townscapes and landscapes evaluated? What impact of energy measures and scenarios do they find acceptable? To this end, we developed an online questionnaire, which was distributed by local stakeholders. We found a range of heritage and sustainability values held by the inhabitants and stakeholders of Ameland.
In the discussion section we will return to the conflicting values in the Ameland case. We find that the presence of heritage values leads to the specification of conditions for the application of energy measures; these should be as invisible as possible. Thus, to combine the values of heritage and sustainability, setting norms and requirements for the implementation of new energy measures is advisable.

Stories play an important role in how World Heritage Sites are experienced and valued by local communities, visitors, and tourists. This paper explores the diverse narratives associated with Bridgetown and its Garrison in Barbados, designated as a World Heritage site in 2011. Through qualitative research involving a four-day participatory workshop and follow-up interviews with local stakeholders, the study examines dominant narratives and lesser-known stories connected to this heritage site, as well as the meanings constructed from these stories and the sentiments they evoke. The findings reveal a richness of stories, ranging from the official UNESCO narrative about colonial tangible heritage to lived experiences and intangible heritage. This narrative diversity suggests that incorporating multiple storytelling perspectives into destination storytelling practices could better reflect Barbadian identity and enhance visitor experiences at the World Heritage Site. Based on these findings, the study demonstrates the potential synergy between tangible and intangible heritage, with storytelling acting as a bridge between these domains. While recognizing the importance of a coherent storyworld, this paper advocates for a model of narrative plurality in destination storytelling.
