Abstract

This paper discusses how contemporary society deals with heritage issues. It examines issues ranging from the selection of objects to that choice’s impact on the construction of knowledge and heritage management. Therefore, the paper first presents heritage concepts, and then considers the uses of these concepts both by heritage-related decision makers and by the public, who is, in fact, the ultimate concerned about heritage protective measures. This discussion will provide the basis to discuss how the public deals with its objects. Moreover, the debate also provides the possibility of Civil Society-Government Bodies jointm actions related to society’s heritage with more justice and ethics.
