Many professors, doctors, scientists, managers and cultural researchers have participated in a seminar on promoting the role of community in preserving the cultural heritage of Thang Long – Hanoi.
The event was held by the Thang Long – Hanoi Culture Heritage Association on October 7th.
There are 5,175 historical and cultural relics in 29 districts and towns in Hanoi. 1,165 relics were recognized as national heritages and 1,000 relics were recognized by the city. There are more 260 revolutionary relics and nearly 300 relics and places relating to President Ho Chi Minh. Especially, the Thang Long royal citadel was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
Participants at the seminar agreed that the management of authorities plays an important role, but the more important role in protecting the sites is that of the community, tourists and local people.
According to the Thang Long – Hanoi cultural heritage association, the community has contributed up to 70% of investment and preservation costs.
Thang Long – Hanoi traditional cultural heritage includes both village and urban forms. Village culture is specific to the Vietnamese nationality, while Hanoi is the capital with its own urban culture, said Luu Minh Tri, president of Thang Long – Hanoi cultural heritage association.
Participants contributed ideas to promote the role of community in the preservation and promotion of cultural heritages./.
