6)-what do you mean by listing and grading of heritage building? what are the
criteria for selecting building for inventory? Briefly discuss the kind of back
ground research field work required to propose inventory. Narrate the
method to fill up the listing from a monument.
Ans-Listing
 Heritage Listings are documentation of assets that can have cultural
or historical value.
 Such listings are predominantly buildings, or groups of buildings, but can also
include other heritage assets as well. 

Grading
 Buildings and sites classified as Grade I, I and II should be conserved in accordance
with international frameworks and charters (i.e. following all the guidelines of
conservation).
 For Grade III & IV monuments a flexible stance may be adopted which may require
using indigenous practice and principles instead of western philosophies or a
suitable solution in between can be possible by blending different ideologies.

Criteria for listing Built Heritage:


Key concepts need to be understood, to determine, whether a site / structure is worthy of
listing (by judging its –Historic integrity, Historic significance &Historic context).
Method of listing:–
The method of listing involves two major steps. They are –
A.Back-ground research & B. Field work

A. BACK-GROUND RESEARCH:–This involves –


Collection of information: Gazetteers, travel books, specialized books, history books, &
archival records (from libraries, archives of various universities & museums, Govt.
institutions, private individuals or trusts etc.). Then information from –Local experts,
professionals, research scholars and other resource persons. Then all information must be
analyzed and compiled together to get thorough data regarding the historic structure.

Benefits from back-ground research:


•It helps to understand the historical background of the structure and its importance in the
town / city.
•Historical significance.
•To get preliminary idea about the structure.
•Important persons associated with the monument.
•Important events witnessed by the building.
•The cultural context and contemporary building tradition.
•Values attached with the building.

B. FIELD WORK:–This involves works related to the field (site information), which includes
Site visit, site observation, interaction with local people, data generated through interviews
of local people (inquiry) field work & finally follow up action.
Site Visit: –

This involves visiting the site / building (when ever it is required)


Observation:–
•This includes physical inspection of the building.
•To observe the structure and its surrounding, style of construction design characteristics
and condition of the built structure
Interaction with People:
•Meeting local people, owners of the property,
•Talking to the near by residents,
•Interacting with local ward or panchyat members, representatives of institutions etc.
Inquiry:–
•Date of construction, the builders involved,
•Building and its cultural context,
•Ownership details and other stake holders,
•Physical changes/ previous interventions etc
Work: –
•To move all around the structure & physically inspecting it.
•To interact with local / concerned people and note down the findings.
•Taking photograph of the structure and its setting (surrounding conditions).
•Sketching necessary elements and details.

Follow up action: –
•Analysis of the data collected.
•Presenting the same in an orderly format.
•Compiled data (presentation work), to be computerized.
•Copies of the presentation to be published.
7) Describe the aspects of heritage management? Explain the entire procedure starting
from identification of historic building till its continuous maintenance after desired
indentation.

Ans-Heritage management can be divided into few segments.

1. Identification of the Heritage site/ building


2. Listing of Heritage
3. Documentation& Research work
4. Legislation
5. Protection/ Preservation/ Conservation
6. Tourism
7. Promotion& Interpretation

1. Identification of the Heritage site/ building:–


•Identifying the monument
•Map updating (Master plan & zonal & area plan)
•Sites having cultural importance & traditional values should be identified (which may not
have archeological importance).
•Identification of various forms of tangible heritage and promote them.
2. Listing of Heritage:–
•Listing is done as per the grade (importance) and values attached with it.
•A monument having historical/ architectural/ archeological/ aesthetic/ cultural
significance is generally listed under different grades.
•When properties are not eligible by themselves, they may be eligible collectively (as a
historic district/ settlement)
3. Documentation and Research work:–
•Documentation is the first step towards its conservation.
•Inventory/ listing (i.e. initial level of documentation) is done by various agencies.
•Archeology departments (ASI, SDAs) should prepare comprehensive conservation plans
for the monuments.

•Detail Documentation drawings & proposals (based on research) should be carried out for
further action.
•Efficient and qualified professionals should be employed to prepare such conservation
proposals.
•Modern technology should be used to replicate drawings.
•Photographic documentation at different stages of work (for future research)
•Multi-disciplinary (team having –historians, architects, curators, archeologist, engineers
etc.) research is required for authentic conservation.
4. Legislation:–
•Appropriate laws and regulations must be framed to protect the monuments as heritage
structures.
•It is necessary to frame heritage management plans for historic precincts.
•Co-operation &co-ordination between local communities with local management bodies is
very important.
•Rules and regulations (such as 100 mt. and 300 mt. rules) should be flexible and very
much contextual.
•Rapid urbanizations must be controlled by respective development authorities to retain
values of heritage precincts.
•Development around a built heritage should not be encouraged (in order to preserve its
identity as a historic building)
•Proper co-ordination between development authorities and archeology dept. is required,
for forming and implementing conservation strategies.
•Steps should be taken to look after living monuments (unprotected ones).
•Strategies for –adaptive reuse, economic growth, generating source of income & public
participation can be worked out within a conservation frame-work.

5. Protection/ Preservation/ Conservation:–


•Protection, preservation and conservation usually refers to intervention of any historical
building or site.
•Monuments along with its site must be taken care in a holistic manner for any
conservation project.
•Heritage conservation is a professional endeavor that seeks to protect / preserve /
conserve historic structure.
•In India these interventions are generally done by both Govt. & Non-govt. organizations
with help of trained professionals.
•If the purpose for which the building was originally constructed is no longer viable, then
other similar/ sympathetic use may be proposed for its longer life.
6. Tourism:–
•Tourism is one of the most important revenue earner industry in India
•Heritage tourism is an in separable aspect of tourism in India
•In India heritage tourism has a wide range of variety, which includes architectural styles
of all periods in different regions (having specific styles).
•Tourism has both positive and negative impacts. Both are discussed below –

Positive aspects:–
•More sincere attention will be given, for holistic development.
•Tourism will enable putting clear signage & authentic information in the site.
•This will help in revenue generation and promotion of heritage.
•Creation of scope for community based regeneration.

Negative aspects:–
•False interpretation of heritage buildings, to attract tourist.
•Compromising on actual conservation ethics to increase tourist inflow.
•Un-necessary re-construction/ restoration based on conjecture.
•Chances of degradation of the heritage by commercialization of the entire complex.
7. Promotion& Interpretation:–

Promotion:
•The main aim of promotion should be to explore and spread knowledge.
•To start promotion –a great deal of research work is needed (from historians,
archeologists, architects, conservationists, scholars from various other fields etc.)
•Promotion is a multi-disciplinary work, which needs good amount of fund with well-
directed thought, followed by action.

Interpretation:
•Heritage interpretation is the communication of information or explanation of monument
using various methods. Interpretation can be done by various methods such as –heritage
walks, guide walks, brochures, audio guides and audio-visual media.
•The process of interpretation can be developed in a structured way with the help of
stories, documentaries, messages & information to convey history behind the monument/
site.
•One of the objectives of interpretation can be to create site museums with curator, who
can guide a visitor.
