Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Heritage awareness is a crucial part of any heritage conservation and management. The creation of awareness is time-consuming and it requires commitment and local support. It is often the most recognizable component of a heritage management. One of the most effective ways to build and maintain respect for community’s heritage is through a selection of activities that raise public awareness and increase appreciation. The success of heritage conservation initiatives depends on the understanding and participation of the local community. The City of Mysore is one of the prominent historical, cultural and heritage cities in India. The city has been identified as a heritage city for conservation by the State and Central Governments. The awareness programmes have also been launched under Jawarharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission by City Corporation in collaboration with Heritage Commissioner’s office. The paper focuses on the efforts made by various agencies for creating awareness for heritage conservation and proposes policy measures for creating effective heritage awareness in the city of Mysore.
