Cultural heritage of historical cities as a factor of sustainable economic development – foreign experience
Author: Postolaki Vasily Alexandrovich
1. Introduction
The economic life of small historical cities of Russia is currently undergoing a crisis. They have all the socio-economic problems that unite all the cities of central Russia. Currently, small and medium-sized cities are united in associations to solve similar problems. Efforts are being made to overcome negative trends in the development of economic, demographic, and social conditions. A feature of small historical towns is the possession of a large number of cultural heritage sites, ancient and rich history. It would seem that this is enough, if not for prosperity, then at least for a worthy existence. But, unfortunately, these days cities are facing the same socio-economic problems as other small towns. These issues are not only facing the historical cities of Russia, these issues are of a global nature. There are processes of searching and testing various approaches to the inclusion of architectural heritage in the life of small towns in the world. The study, comprehension and localization of foreign experience can be a useful factor in the development of small historical towns.
2. The relevance of the theme of the revival of economic life in historical cities
The relevance of the topic is connected with the fracture in the socio-economic development of cities that occurred after the collapse of the USSR. Throughout the post-Soviet period, small towns have basically entered a phase of depression. The process of urbanization in Russia has sharply accelerated due to the closure of enterprises that turned out to be inefficient in the new economic conditions of Russia. A common problem for small towns, including historical ones [1], is the problem of a budget deficit associated with a bias in the tax burden in favor of the federal center. The deficit is made up by various subventions and grants from the regional and federal budgets.
Historical cities with a great historical and cultural heritage have their own special problems.[12] They face a twofold task: on the one hand, the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage, which is usually located in the historical center of the city,[11] on the other hand, the need to attract investors who are primarily interested in the central, historical parts of cities. [3] This contradiction is solved differently in different cities. Often, the city authorities,[16] for the sake of investment in the city, solve this problem in favor of investors [2]. The interests of business and the interests of the city in the preservation of cultural heritage are often decided in favor of business. This has its own explanation. The fact is that the restoration of historical and cultural monuments is more expensive than the demolition and construction of a new building, and its operation is less efficient than the operation of a new building. Sometimes, if there are approved protection zones for the historical center of the city, projects are approved that, by their parameters, do not fit into the development restrictions defined by the regulations. [4] Thus, the problem is not only in the presence of approved zones for the protection of historical cultural monuments of the historical centers of cities, but also in the strict observance by all administrative structures of the city of the established restrictions. At present, a situation is emerging in which the historical heritage of small towns is seen as an obstacle to the economic development of the city, which explains the frequent violations of established restrictions. This problem is recognized at the level of the country’s leadership and there are attempts to overcome the crisis of small and medium-sized cities with historical heritage through the development of tourism, which aims to revive the economic life of cities. To this end, the state acts in two ways. The first of these is the allocation of funds from the federal budget through the Ministry of Culture for the restoration of cultural objects of federal significance located in historical cities. On the other hand, at the state level, a program has been approved for the development of domestic and foreign tourism in Russia for the period from 2011 to 2018, which provides for the allocation of funds from the budget on a competitive basis among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for organizing urban infrastructure for receiving tourists. In addition, in 2018, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) held a competition for the implementation of projects for the development of small towns, which will help form a database of the best initiatives for replication in the regions of the Russian Federation.
However, despite the efforts, the result of the development of small towns at the moment cannot be considered satisfactory. These measures at the federal level are not enough to organize a powerful tourist flow that can overcome the crisis in small and medium-sized cities of Russia. Cities are required to take measures to radically reconsider the point of view of historical and cultural heritage not as a burden and an obstacle to the economic development of the city, but as a potential factor in the development of cities — cultural capital .
One of the problems on to cardinal change in the view of the historical heritage of cities as a burden is the current Federal Law FZ 131 “On the general principles of organizing local self-government” adopted in 2003. In accordance with this law, small towns have a number of responsibilities for maintaining local infrastructure, local education and health authorities, with a limited number of sources for replenishing the local budget. There are only two main sources: land tax, property tax. In total, they make up the minimum of the tax burden of any enterprise. Thus, there is a situation in which most of the taxes generated on the territory of the historic city are withdrawn by fiscal measures to the regional and federal budgets. A paradoxical situation is created in which with an increase in the number of tourists in historical cities, the burden on the city’s budget increases. According to I. Kekhter, the former mayor of the city of Suzdal , with a huge flow of tourists, the city treasury receives crumbs from serving the tourist flow. Only 10% of tourism revenue remains in the city budget. At the same time, according to him, from 2006 to 2016, the permanent population of the city decreased by 10%. Under the existing legislation, an increase in the tourist flow solves only one problem – the employment of the local population in tourism and trade. At the same time, for the population that does not agree to work in the field of service, there are no prospects for the implementation of their own life plans. This explains why the youth of small towns seek to move to large regional capital cities in search of work. One of the options for resolving this issue in relation to the historical cities of Russia is the introduction of a tourist tax, which is widely practiced in Europe.
Currently, tourism is seen as a way to revive economic life in historic cities. According to the Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization, Taleb Rifai , “the world is currently experiencing a tourism boom, the number of tourists in the world in 2018 reached 1.4 billion tourists, an increase from 25 million in 15 years. Every 60 tourists create 1 job” [13]0152 [15], aimed at the development of both domestic and inbound tourism. Currently, federal structures are working on the issue of issuing an electronic visa to foreigners for the development of inbound tourism. Cities with great historical heritage – “ cultural capital” are suitable for tourism development like no other.
3. Foreign experience of including historical heritage in the economy of cities
Foreign experience offers examples of awareness of historical heritage, historical city centers as cultural capital . [5] This point of view is based on international legislation on the preservation of historical heritage. This process began in 1964 with the signing of the so-called Venice Charter. This was the post-war period, when the destroyed Europe needed to develop theoretical approaches to the issue of preserving cultural heritage in European cities. The USSR also joined this work and signed the Venice Charter . The issue of the recent general urbanization is considered in relation to the historical heritage of cities as a dangerous factor.
70s of XX century were marked by extensive activity in the cities of the world on new development, which was often carried out in historical centers or historical quarters. In 1976 UNESCO issued recommendations “On the preservation and contemporary role of historical ensembles” (adopted on November 26, 1976 in Nairobi) [17] In these recommendations [17], based on the opinion of a group of international experts, they were first introduced and recommended for inclusion in national systems protection of cultural heritage such concepts as protection zones, protected landscape zones (including urban ones). Recommendations were made on the organization of national structures for the protection of cultural heritage, the development of norms and restrictions in construction and conditions in the development of supply and service systems (paragraph 11), the need to develop an appeals mechanism when considering issues of protection of historical urban spaces (paragraph 13).
At the XV session of the UN General Conference on Education, Science and Culture, which was held in Paris in 1987, it was noted that the historical heritage, monuments of cultural history are at significant risk in the process of urbanization and the emergence of new buildings and its impact on the historical urban landscape. The Guidelines for the Preservation of Cultural Property Endangered by Public or Private Works stated that often:0149, sometimes less important structures are demolished, as a result of which the historical links and surroundings of the historical quarters of are destroyed. These words are truer than ever in modern Russia.
In continuation of plans to preserve the historical heritage of cities in 1987, the international organization ICOMOS adopted the so-called “Washington Charter” . It emphasized that the charter was adopted in addition to all previous documentation on the preservation of the cultural heritage of cities, including the Venice Charter. The Washington Charter emphasizes that effective protection of city neighborhoods and monuments requires that protection be part of the city’s economic and social development. In other words, it was proposed to consider the historical heritage as “cultural capital” . The contribution of historical heritage to the economic component of the city lies primarily in turning the existing cultural capital into material resources, a source of income for various economic agents. In the modern world, tourism has become a rapidly growing industry with multi-billion dollar turnover.
Tourism development is considered for small towns as one of the ways to valorize cultural capital. [7] The application of the approach to historical heritage as “cultural capital” opens the way for the application of economic methods for analyzing the effectiveness of investments. [8] Examples from international practice [9] show that this approach is possible. Here is an example of the restoration of the historical center of Skopje, the so-called “Old Bazaar” area in Macedonia .[5] In the early 2000s, the Old Bazaar area, the historical center of the city, was an area with small streets, cultural organizations. The territory was in a state of depression, in a state of decline – buildings were dilapidated, the area was not popular with either local residents or tourists. In the early 2000s, funds were invested in the renovation of the historic center. The results of these investments were analyzed in 2010. [5] A number of indicators of the cultural life of the city were compared before and after the renovation. For comparison, the “control” city 9 was chosen0149 Prilep , which also has a historical center, but has not been renovated. The study looked at the financial results of the business of local food outlets, retail outlets, firms engaged in the production of local products, hotels and museums. The number of visiting foreign and local tourists was also analyzed. The purpose of the study was to analyze how much the economic effect of the restoration of the historical center of Skopje is higher than the figures for the city of Prilep. Studies have shown that the increase in the average daily number of consumers for local businesses in Skopje increased by 50% from the beginning of the renovation to 2010. Over the same period, this indicator in the city of Prilep has not changed much. At the same time, the turnover of local businesses in Skopje increased by 80%. Employment also increased faster in Skopje than in Prilep. In Skopje, over this period, the number of people employed in business increased by 70%. At the same time, in the “control city” employment increased by only 21%. At the same time, 42% of businesses in Skopje had plans to expand their activities, while in Prilep this figure was only 15%. It is interesting to compare the tourist flow: in the five years from 2005 to 2010, the average number of tourists in Skopje increased by 90% compared to the period before the restoration of the center, while the number of foreign tourists increased from 7 thousand to 13.5 thousand, and the number of local visitors increased from 5 thousand to 10.5 thousand. It is interesting that investments in Historic Center Restoration helped raise an additional $2.5 million in investment. Thus, the initial investment acted as a trigger to start the investment process. Based on the results of the work carried out in Skopje, a project was prepared for the further restoration of the historical center, the Old Bazaar, which was highly appreciated International Bank . Thus, by participating in the competition of projects for the restoration of historical heritage, Skopje received additional funding to continue the work.
The second example of renovation is the city of Madaba in Jordan . [5] It is an ancient city located about 40 km. from Oman, the capital of Jordan. It is an important tourist city and is known for its architectural heritage and in particular as a traditional center for the production of mosaics. In the early 2000s, Madaba experienced a decline in production and unfavorable demographic trends. The architectural heritage suffered from little care and neglect. The main goal of the investment project of the World Bank was to give the cultural heritage a new life and turn it into an important asset of the city. Also, the goal of the project was to improve business opportunities in the historical center of the city and increase the impact of the tourist flow on the local economy. The effect of these investments was studied in 2014. As in the case of Macedonia, a control city was chosen, in which the renovation of the historical center was not carried out – the city of Erbid. In this project, the development of tourism was assigned a central role. One of the important components of the study was an assessment of the expected increase in tourist flow over 5 years after the start of investment. The study was conducted before the start of the project to assess trends in the number of tourists in the city. These studies showed that the number of visitors to the city of Madaba grew faster in the 2-3 years after 2007 than it had in previous years. At the same time, it is difficult to link the increase in the tourist flow directly with the effect of the investment project, since the newly elected mayor of Madaba launched his own program to increase the number of tourists in the city. Tourism-related business in Madaba includes the operation of shops with local products, art galleries, restaurants, cafes, etc. The study showed a slight increase in employment over the period, as well as an increase in wages and real estate prices. The majority of business owners agreed with the project from the point of view that the historical center is a place for business development and a significant number of them planned to expand their activities in the future. For example, 56% of respondents said they plan to increase their base and 36% answered that they want to increase the number of employees. Perhaps a consequence of heritage renewal and urban development is the opportunity for private homeowners to use real estate in the city center to rent out to tourists. Studies have shown that about 19% of property owners in the historic center of Madaba received rental income compared to 9% in the reference city of Erbid. Moreover, in Madaba, about 60% of historical buildings were used for rent, compared with only 13% in the control city. In the process of research, a survey was conducted among visitors to the historical center of Madaba about the purpose of their stay. The majority of respondents answered that they visit the city because of their interest in historical heritage. This confirms the possibility of using cultural and historical heritage as a trigger for the development of tourism. Approximately 70% of the respondents supported the statement that the restoration of the historic city center has a positive effect on the development of the city. Three-quarters of those surveyed agreed that the historic center endows the city with a sense of cultural identity. The majority of those surveyed disagreed with the suggestion that investing in the renovation of the historic part of the city is a waste of money, or that the historic center should be demolished.
4. Parameters for assessing the effectiveness of measures to enhance the economic life of cities
The main approaches to assessing the effectiveness of investments in cultural heritage is to implement measures that allow you to weigh the consequences for the socio-economic development of the city. To this end, it is necessary to conduct studies of the economic nature and marketing activities to assess the degree of impact of investments, minus factors that can affect the key parameters of project evaluation. Among these parameters may be a change in the economic situation in the country, the number of tourists in general, a decline or, conversely, an increase in tourist activity. To fulfill this condition, one of the methods, following the example of the cities of Skopje and Madaba, is to choose a city that has similar parameters in terms of size and value of the historical and cultural environment. In this case, before, on time and for about 5 years or more, it is necessary to analyze statistical data and sociological studies to study the effectiveness of investments made in comparison with changed indicators in the so-called “control city” . If it is not possible to choose such a city with similar parameters, it is necessary to conduct research and compare the parameters of changes in the economic effect of investments by subtracting the average parameters of changes in indicators in neighboring cities and industries. Naturally, in the second case, in the absence of a control city, the measurement accuracy will be lower. One of the parameters for evaluating the effectiveness of investments is the change in the number of tickets sold to museums located in the city. This indicator is indirect due to the fact that not all tourist visitors of the city visit the museum or there may be repeated visits to the city that no longer include a visit to the museum. The parameters that evaluate the effectiveness of investments include the results of sociological surveys of small business owners engaged in servicing the tourist flow. Questionnaires in such cases should include questions regarding the number of employees, the number of visitors, general economic confidence, and business development plans. At the same time, it should be noted that before starting an investment, it is necessary to draw up a plan for conducting research and their regularity, approving the methodology for conducting them and key indicators.
5. Conclusions
-
For the development of small historical towns, it is necessary to develop an attitude towards the historical heritage of the city on the part of the entire urban community as cultural capital.
-
Formation and education of the urban community, the formation of cultural identity.
-
The development of tourism infrastructure, hotel business, as well as event tourism, cultural and thematic events are required.
-
Development of measures to improve the conservation status of the historic center of the city and the cultural heritage, up to the international one (ICOMOS, UNESCO), which in the future may open up new sources of funding for the city.
-
The potential of historical heritage for the economic development of the city can be unlocked by combining the efforts of the administration, local and invited businesses, as well as the local community of residents who stand up for the preservation of cultural heritage.
