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.

Queremos invitar a organizaciones no gubernamentales, académicos y representantes de la sociedad civil a participar y contribuir en la construcción de nuevas propuestas de políticas públicas respecto a la protección del patrimonio cultural y natural de la humanidad.

Tourism and Pandemics in World Heritage Sites

Inscripciones aquí / sign up here: LINK

Coordinador: Cynthia Pérez, UPC Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya

Fecha: 5 de Mayo / Hora: TBA

Abstract

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.

Nature-culture approaches to disasters prevention and post-disaster recovery

Coordinador: Maya Ishizawa, Independent Heritage Specialist - ICOMOS/IFLA International Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscapes Expert Member

Fecha: 7 de Mayo / Hora: 11h00 UTC

Abstract

Heritage administration systems usually have separate mandates between agencies for the conservation of the environment and agencies caring for cultural heritage. On the other side, disaster risk management (DRM) usually focuses on urban planning and human life protection, overlooking the potential of natural and cultural heritage for disasters’ prevention and post-disaster recovery. In the last few years, cultural heritage and nature-based solutions are increasingly used in mitigation strategies. However, the interconnections between natural and cultural heritage are not sufficiently explored and used for DRM strategies. In light of the increasing hazards threatening World Heritage and other heritage places, this session explores the opportunities that nature-culture approaches could bring for disaster risk policy and adaptation planning.

Preparing for emergency to ensure resilience of cultural and natural heritage systems under threat: a matter of good territorial Governance!

Coordinador: Claudio Cimino, World Association for the protection of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage in times of armed conflicts (WATCH)

Fecha: 10 de Mayo / Hora: UTC

Abstract

Cultural and Natural Heritage are among the highest expressions of humanity. However, we assist to a sharp increase of disasters causing severe damage or loss of heritage worldwide. Countries affected by catastrophic events are usually caught unprepared, incapable to deploy mitigation and/or response measures.

-What does it take to be ready to protect heritage at risk?

-Which DRR policies currently in place are considered a good practice?

-Which Private Public Partnerships can responsible state agencies establish to ensure CNH protection?

These and several other questions should find answers within this session together with some options and proposals.

Preventing earthquake destruction in world heritage sites: learning from empiricism to regulations

Coordinador: Marco Barrientos, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile

Fecha: 11 de Mayo / Hora: 13h00 UTC

Abstract

The cultural heritage may be exposed to different kinds of hazards and disasters, some of them -as earthquakes- such destructive as sudden. A specific particularity of this problem is crossed by the unpredictability factor that usually has an impact over heritage. Therefore, regulations seem to provide not only restrictions but mainly preventing rules in order to protect the cultural heritage. Thus, this session raises some questions such as, how do earthquakes affect different cultural heritage expressions around the world?; how do local, national and international regulations and conventions protect the cultural heritage considering quakes?; or which role carry out the empiric dimension among the relationship between earthquake destruction and cultural heritage protection rules? An international and multicultural discussion leads to a better understanding of this crucial issue.

Prevention and conservation in World Heritage Sites

Coordinador: Marcela Hurtado, Technical University Federico Santa María, Chile – ICOMOS Chile

Fecha: 12 de Mayo / Hora: 13h00 UTC

Abstract

In recent times, the vulnerability of cultural heritage as a result of both natural and man-made threats has been demonstrated. The consequences of the loss of cultural heritage, in all its expressions, has a strong impact on the history and traditions of peoples and communities, affecting their normal social and economic development. In this scenario, it is essential to install and strengthen capacities for disaster-risk management among all the stakeholders, in order to reduce vulnerability to potential threats. In this sense, investing in prevention through programs, regulations or projects should be a priority task to contribute to the preservation of heritage and its associated communities.

Culture, Heritage and Resilience : Local Creative Responses to Natural Disasters, COVID-19 and Climate Change

Coordinador: Isidora Larraín, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile

Fecha: 13 de Mayo / Hora: 12h00 UTC

Abstract

Cultural heritage is rooted in community and place. Cultural heritage sites often sit at the heart of a vibrant ecosystem of community, civic, cultural, and creative organizations. As we enter an era when natural disasters and climate change increasingly threaten cultural heritage (earthquakes, drought, etc.), how can local creative and cultural industries' ecosystems help to build the resilience of heritage sites? What have we learned from previous disasters? What are the key lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic?

Informal knowledge, participation and heritage during Pandemics

Coordinador: Cristina Dreifuss, Universidad de Lima

Fecha: 14 de Mayo / Hora: 13h00 UTC

Abstract

Our session "Informal knowledge, participation and heritage during Pandemics", is inspired by the question "What are the problems of local communities today?" understanding that social practices are not always related to regulations. At the lack of official responses by the authorities, informal associations and grassroots organisations have stepped up to provide for the communities, while trying to maintain their well being. Through the lens of participation, we would like to address the way groups regard heritage (sometimes even as a hindrance), their relationship with it, and the ways they make it part of their daily lives, through adaptations and appropriations. Believing that World Heritage Centres have to be living places, allowing for life to thrive and for communities to strengthen, concepts like identity, agency, place attachment, Do It Yourself solutions and appropriation will be addressed, as ways to incorporate World Heritage Centres to people´s lives, especially in times of COVID.

The value of culture during Pandemics

Coordinador: Jae Lee, Pai Chai University / Lee Jae Architects

Fecha: 18 de Mayo / Hora: UTC

Abstract

Our world heritage site is in crisis. Their existence is threatened by natural disasters. In addition, the recent pandemic has shown the weakness of World Heritage sites and how people are essential to the preservation and maintenance of World Heritage sites. Our heritage consists of cultural, natural, or mixed landmarks. Cultural heritage is so exceptional that its importance transcends borders and has shared importance for all of us. Buildings, monuments, artifacts, and structures, as well as the values that exceed art and scholarship, are universal values that belong to all humanity, regardless of where they are located. We intend to conduct this discussion under the title of "The value of culture during Pandemics" to discuss the protection and preservation of our natural and cultural heritage, while giving them life and new meaning, at the same time. In addition, we want to address how cultural values have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interdisciplinary research in disaster risk reduction: an uncomfortable understanding

Coordinador: Karla Palma, CIGIDEN

Fecha: 19 de Mayo / Hora: 13h00 UTC

Abstract

The protection of heritage sites against disasters is a complex problem that requires a broad vision. In this sense, it is not possible to address that complexity only from one discipline. Disaster studies have been traditionally dominated by natural sciences and engineering studies, leaving social sciences in a relatively marginal position. Today, this situation is changing, but interdisciplinary research remains restricted. Interdisciplinary research implies a horizontal dialogue and allows enrichment of understanding, but also forces an uncomfortable re-examination of each discipline propositions. With these considerations, this event will gather researchers from different disciplines dedicated to disaster studies to a dialogue around the protection of world heritage sites against disasters.

Capacity building for disaster risk preparedness

Conservation emergency!

Coordinador: Cristian Heinsen, Fundación Altiplano, Chile

Fecha: 28 de Mayo / Hora: 13h00 UTC

Abstract

COVID Pandemic tested human behavior in many dimensions. The essential was distinguished from the accessory. Did we stop conserving during Pandemic? As we know we didn’t… So Conservation of natural and cultural treasures in risk has become a deep human need and a main goal of the sustainability global challenge. So what did we learn from the activity of heritage conservation? Beyond research and academic discussion, how is conservation influencing our real life? Is conservation a relevant activity in the 21st century planet? If conservation is a deep human need, what are the other needs involved? What do the native communities, the real masters in conservation, have to say about it? Which sectors of the economy are the main allies of the conservation industry? (and please forget Tourism for a while…) What does conservation offer for better living in an OVER urbanized, unequal and uncertain world?
