Abstract

A question that often springs to mind is how to explain the importance of preserving cultural heritage, not only to the man in the street and to our kids, but also to the politicians and law enforcers. There is a consensus that our history has a value for our quality of life, identity, for science and our understanding of human society in the past and in the future. But we choose to overlook this insight in our daily actions. My claim is that a greater understanding — which includes an active dissemination of knowledge and involvement of the public in heritage management — can change our attitudes and, to a higher degree, prevent loss of cultural heritage.
