dc.description.abstractThis paper discusses the nature of culture change and stress, its resultant issues related to preservation programs, and the methods of dealing with such issues. It formulates a conceptual framework for culture-supportive preservation and then reviews a range of contemporary preservation practices and policies in order to identify successful ways of making historic preservation a stress-responsive and culture-supportive development activity. Six basic strategies are identified: having appropriate attitudes, greater community participation, identifying core/peripheral aspects of culture & built-form, incremental development, and cultivating financial and institutional support.
