초록
In places that are not World Heritage sites, communitiesproduce material culture continuously as a form ofinteraction between themselves and their environments. In the Okavango Delta region, crafts are a good exampleof such material culture. Today, the concept of ‘WorldHeritage’ is led by socio-economic needs – throughtourism - rather than socio-cultural interactions. In thisprocess, the indigenous systems of knowledge that createintangible heritage are modified, usually in a negativeway, and this affects the social networks that sustain thepractices of craft production. The results of researchprojects conducted in June-August 2003 and June-July2007 are used to illuminate this discussion. The paperconcludes that while in the developing world, giving a siteWorld Heritage status is likely to encourage tourism, theimpact on the resident community’s intangible heritagemust be considered and safeguarded.
