World heritage and local community
confronted opinions on Atapuerca, Burgos (Spain)
Keywords:
Atapuerca, World heritage, Local community, Visions found, Cultural managementAbstract
In this work the divergent opinions of the inhabitants of two localities adjacent to the archaeological site of the World Heritage “Sierra de Atapuerca” are presented. The results showed differences between the neighbors of both towns on the advantages and disadvantages of the UNESCO declaration, the management carried out by the regional administration and a different evaluation of the benefits of tourism. Due to the different social profile of both populations, this study shows for the first time that policies must be applied that satisfy the diverse sensitivities to involve the inhabitants in the construction of their heritage and the management of their future. In Atapuerca, the socialization and democratization of heritage must not ignore the opinion of the residents of the heritage site.
