21 -  Quality and Management of Rock Art Sites.

Session organisers: Maurizio Quagliuolo, Rossano Lopes Bastos, Luiz Oosterbeek, Cris Buco.

Premise
Our common Cultural Heritage, especially the Prehistoric one, is subjected to be rapidly deteriorated, needing to be preserved. On the other hand we have the responsibility to diffuse the knowledge of this Heritage to the public. Both of these activities have costs, sometimes expensive. The use of Cultural Heritage for tourism and other economic activities can help us to maintain it reducing costs and creating job opportunities. But there is a 'break point' we have to study very well between 'compatible development' (that take care of the context) and 'sustainable development'  (that is able to economically maintain itself). Our goal is to set an 'equilibrium' between them.

The need
From Lascaux to Shanidar caves, from Malta to Stonenge temples, from Serra da Capivara to Foz Coa parks, from Australia to North Africa Rock Art, from Pechino to Isernia excavations, from Paris Musée de l'Homme to Quebéc Museum of Civilization, from Catal Hüyük to Varna villages, from the Rift Valley to the Grand Canyon, most problems have to be fronted in a common perspective. What we need is to collect the point of view of other colleagues as well as benefit of the help of other experiences in similar situations. What we need is to act in a more effective, less expensive, more comprehensive, cooperative and immediate way which could let us to better manage our sites: that's Quality.
