Our World Heritage: Desastres y Pandemias
El Centro del Patrimonio Cultural UC, en representación de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, junto a CIGIDEN, Fundación Altiplano; USM; ICOMOS Chile; Escuela de Diseño UC; Colegio de Arquitectos de Chile; Magíster en Patrimonio Cultural UC y la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú; forman parte de la agrupación internacional Our World Heritage (OWH) para la protección del patrimonio cultural. Es en este contexto, que durante el mes de mayo, se realizarán múltiples actividades de debate en torno al tema Desastres y Pandemia. Una de las principales actividades que estamos organizando, es el Globinar One World Seminar (del 03 al 30 de mayo), en el cuál participan expositores de los cinco continentes.
La pandemia y otros recientes desastres han dejado en evidencia la fragilidad y vulnerabilidad de nuestro patrimonio mundial. La preservación de estos sitios y piezas excepcionales, que le pertenecen a toda la humanidad y a las futuras generaciones, no pueden existir en un mundo segregado. Ellas pertenecen a contextos sociales y son parte de la vida diaria de las personas.
El patrimonio mundial está en peligro de desaparecer, su existencia está sujeta a la amenaza permanentemente de los desastres naturales. En este sentido, la pandemia ha revelado la importancia de la presencia humana para su sobrevivencia.
¿Cómo podemos proteger nuestro patrimonio y al mismo tiempo darle vida y cargarlo de nuevos significados? Si queremos garantizar su subsistencia, la humanidad no debería percibir el patrimonio únicamente como objetos o lugares bellos y estáticos, ni como un producto para la industria del turismo. El desafío está en integrarlos completamente a las dinámicas sociales y culturales de la vida diaria.

Fecha: 3 de Mayo / Hora: 13h00 UTC
Abstract
The session, "Natural and social Disasters in World Heritage Sites" is the first of the Globinar and therefore of particular importance to introduce some relevant issues: World Heritage sites are the center of the discussion, but their complexity requires an analysis from broad perspectives that go beyond the spatial and also consider multiple components. In this sense, heritage is the reflection and response of a varied, immense society; at the same time in danger of disappearing and a cornerstone for the construction of new, even more complex expressions and identities. But natural and social disasters -notably among them the current COVID-19 pandemic- are also part of that identitarian construction: society responds to them in different and as such they condition our present and future experience- again, in mostly positive developments, but always with the threat of failure or repeated defeat. In this, too, World Heritage Sites reflect the human experience.

Tourism and Pandemics in World Heritage Sites

COVID-19 has had diverse global implications that have forced the entire society to stop and rethink its way of life, interactions and customs. It has demonstrated the vulnerability of tourist destinations, making it imperative to find new paths. Furthermore, COVID-19 has required adaptive government management to cope with uncertainty. The absence of a roadmap has left a natural park or a remote town at the same starting point as a tourist city, especially since the sanitary recommendations suggest avoiding crowded areas—one of the main characteristics of urban tourism. To understand the impacts that COVID has had on tourist cities, especially World Heritage sites, we will analyze six cases, each one of them with its own challenges. This will allow us to see how cities are facing the pandemic.
