Hållbara och tillgängliga kulturmiljöer – kunskapsunderlag för kulturmiljöstärkande åtgärder
Short description
The Project aims is to develop a knowledge base for how work with cultural environment enhancing measures can be improved, strengthened and communicated within the Swedish Transport administration and to the surrounding society. Focus is on communication, accessibility and sustainability in accordance with the Swedish Transport Administration's Cultural Environment Strategy, the national cultural environment goals and Agenda 2030. The project is carried out in collaboration between the UGOT, Swedish Transport Administration, the State Historical Museums and Picea Cultural Heritage.
Cultural environment strengthening measures aim to preserve, protect and convey values in cultural environments. Swedish Transport Administration uses such measures to compensate for damaged or removed cultural values in infrastructure projects.
More about the project
The Project aims is to develop a knowledge base for how work with cultural environment enhancing measures (sw KMSÅ) can be improved, strengthened and communicated within the Swedish transport administration (TRV) and to the surrounding society.
Cultural environment strengthening measures aim to preserve, protect and convey values in cultural environments. Examples of such measures are creating new cultural environments to compensate for those removed, or implementing measures to secure and strengthen existing cultural environments. The Swedish Transport Administration uses such measures to compensate for damaged or removed cultural values in infrastructure projects.
The project's research questions are:
- What are the decisive factors in TRV's difficulties in communicating KMSÅ, internally and externally?
- How can the gap between practice and TRV's cultural environment strategy be bridged?
- In what ways can TRV create better conditions to utilize the potential that the cultural environment represents for the sustainable development of society?
- How can natural and cultural environments be made available to as many people as possible through KMSÅ as a common source of knowledge, education and experience?
Background
Cultural values in the landscape are a foundation and a driving force for all levels of sustainable development. The experience of cultural environments has a strong connection with people's wellbeing, existential values and identity. The knowledge base produced in the project will contribute to sustainable development where social as well as economic sustainability is taken into account. The project puts extra focus on accessibility where physical, mental and cognitive barriers to participation are overcome. Accessibility to natural and cultural heritage for everyone creates important values for society, business and the individual.
The project is important as it corresponds to TRV's work with KMSÅ and cultural environment strategy (TRV2019). The goals formulated within the Planning Portfolio regarding collaboration in community development, sustainability and effective interaction with our citizens will be strengthened. The project will also have a bearing on identified problem areas for Landscape Cultural Environment (TRV 2024).
The project develops good practice by linking research and work on enhancing measures. It contributes to effectivize the work with KMSÅ so that high goal achievement is created and that funds are used where they create the most benefit. The project contributes to developing forms and arenas for effective collaboration between various relevant social actors, forms that are based on new knowledge about models, tools and new ways of working. The theoretical framework is Universal Design and Learning (UDL) and Action Research.
The project will be implemented in close collaboration between the University of Gothenburg, National Historical Museums, Picea Cultural Heritage and TRV.
