About This Document

TOU501 - Heritage is a broad and complex concept and so no specific definition fits it. It can therefore be defined as that which is evolving from past generations into the present and is carried forward into the future generations. Every society carries a unique heritage and some choose to carry them forward while others abandon them but either way they both narrate to others their relationship with their past.

It can therefore be defined as that which is evolving from past generations into the present and is carried forward into the future generations. It encompasses the objects and qualities like the cultural believe and traditions passed down from the past generations. It is therefore imperative to focus on its historical nature and its development practices. Every society carries a unique heritage and some choose to carry them forward while others abandon them but either way they both narrate to others their relationship with their past.Development of heritage is very crucial in the long run. Its advancement has been achieved through the publications on such heritage by experts in the field of heritage studies. Transformation in the medieval sense of heritage has been as a result of various factors such as technological improvements and alteration arising from diversity in what people undergo in various regions among others such as changes due to colonialism.Heritage is commonly linked to museums studies, professionalism and heritage practitioners who eventually see to the development of heritage and its conservation to the present[CITATION dil14 \p 42 \l 1033 ]. Some economists however argue that heritage contributes profusely to restructuring the world economy since 1970s. Apparently understanding the transformations in the world economy requires more elaborate and broad historical analysis which heritage studies cannot portray such as contemplating past simple tracks of the entire lineage.
