RICHES D4.3 Structures for community and territorial cohesion

The research is based on case studies of urban and rural heritage festivals and local food movements which, in different ways, exploit heritage resources either directly or indirectly for the purpose of community and/or territorial cohesion. The case studies are based on analysis of secondary data, plus interviews with key actors and in two of the examples, participant observation. They are drawn mainly from the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany.
