Periodic Reporting for period 1 - RescueME (Equitable RESilience solutions to strengthen the link between CUltural landscapEs and coMmunitiEs)
Reporting period: 2023-02-01 to 2024-01-31
The project is structured in eight objectives:
1. Building the frame: Developing a replicable RescueME Actionable Framework based on the Resilient Historical Landscape approach, integrating socio-ecological-cultural aspects and utilizing advanced technologies for data-driven assessment.
2. Triggering action using a multi-scale method to make the value of Cultural Landscapes (CL) and heritage diversity quantifiable, considering soft benefits like well-being and tourism, aiming to trigger action at both European and local levels.
3. Mobilize resources through ready-to-use tools like organigraphs for stakeholder mapping, Agent-Based Modeling (ABM), and crowdsourcing techniques, engaging communities and cultural sectors for heritage stewardship.
4. Facilitate evidence-based decision-making with a meta-repository of solutions from previous projects, characterized by their impact and carbon footprint, implemented through a dynamic decision support system.
5. Co-produce local knowledge and increase engagement of communities with CL through interactive knowledge co-production, aiming to enhance social awareness and appreciation of resilience measures.
6. Monitoring & managing: Develop an indicator-based monitoring strategy linked to resilience pathways, engaging communities in co-monitoring heritage diversity and identifying adaptive governance models.
7. Transfer & scale-up, and tailor proposed policies and actions through a Community of Practice, producing a long-term agenda for transformative resilience and providing user-friendly information through a one-stop-shop.
A practical framework for a meta-repository of resilience solutions has been produced and the collection of solutions to improve the resilience of our Cultural Landscapes has been initiated. So far 273 solutions have been collected. Extensive groundwork has been done to follow the human-centred approach and understand the user requirements, priorities and needs. All the technical work has been continually supported, fed, shaped and fine-tuned by the work carried with our case studies (R-labs). 5 R-Labs have been established across Europe and they have been coordinated to provide continuous inputs for co-creation, validation and replication of all the results.
