What is Heritage

      According to Well (2011), Heritage studies is defined as an interdisciplinary  investigation of the relationship between people and the representation, interpretation, and valuation of the past with the goal of using this information towards a practical end. Heritage place is a specific area or site, perhaps a large area such as a whole region or landscape, or a small area such as a feature or building, which is valued by people for its natural and/or cultural heritage significance (Wells 2011).  "Heritage" is constructed from values and meanings derived from social, cultural, and personal experience, while (Wells 2011).
