Abstract

Among various groups of people there are different ways of defining heritage as well as varying ways of looking at what is old or new. The values held by conservationists may have some unconscious bias which makes the result of their conservation work less acceptable to other parts of the community. This paper briefly examines a number of cases where differing or conflicting values affect the conservation of places and in some cases it draws distinctions between value-conflicts among conservations. The paper introduces some models for understanding conflict, and mention techniques used for resolving disputes. It concludes by reviewing the present efforts of the heritage industry in coming to terms with conflicting values where the Burra Charter has not always provided the answers. The aim is to bring to the attention of conference participants the concept that successful conservation involves more than careful research and expert knowledge of conservation techniques, since major conflict can arise between proponents of conservation as well as with opponents.
