%T Managing complexities and governance practices in heritage towns - Governance recommendations for heritage town Orvelte based on management practices from UNESCO heritage towns
%U https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/2152/
%X The objective of this research was to formulate recommendations for the heritage village of Orvelte. Orvelte is in the process of implementing a participatory governance system. To contribute to such a governance system, this research explored international management structures first. A total of 53 UNESCO-status towns were analysed and three classes of management structures were distinguished. The class coined ‘Heritage Governance’, which involves multiple stakeholders, aligns most with Orvelte’s case. UNESCO-documents of the towns that were classified as ‘Heritage Governance’ were analysed further and resulted in relevant themes of governance practices for Orvelte.
