"Engaging local professionals for the conservation of the built environment: the Japanese \"heritage manager\" system"^^ . "This paper analyses the birth, role and significance of the Japanese “Heritage Manager”\r\nsystem, a regional initiative to engage local professionals in the creation of a sustainable urban\r\nenvironment based on the conservation of cultural heritage buildings that developed after the Great\r\nHanshin Earthquake.\r\nThe current framework for the protection of built heritage in Japan is laid by the Law for the Protection of\r\nCultural Properties of 1950. However, the original scope of this law was only a small number of\r\nmonuments of exceptionally high cultural significance. The conservation and repair of these monuments\r\nwas carried out by highly specialized conservation architects licensed by the government, under the\r\nsupervision of the central Agency of Cultural Affairs.\r\nHowever, the Great Hanshin Earthquake that struck Japan in 1995 caused severe damage not only to\r\nprotected monuments but also to a large number of historical buildings that at the time lacked any kind of\r\nlegal protection. It became clear then that a new approach was necessary in order to preserve those\r\nbuildings and integrate them into a comprehensive urban development strategy. In order to face this\r\nchallenge, the local administration of Hyogo (the prefecture most severely affected by the disaster) in\r\ncooperation with the local association of architects devised the “Heritage Manager” system, a training\r\nprogram aimed at providing local professionals (architects and cultural policy experts) with a set of basic\r\nskills for building conservation (survey techniques, drafting repair projects, sustainable urban planning\r\nand disaster prevention).\r\nSince its creation in 2001, similar initiatives have been implemented by other local administrations all\r\nover Japan. The “heritage managers” trained in this way contribute to the protection of the local built\r\nheritage, and are playing a key role in the recovery effort of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake."^^ .
