| abstract | Tangible and intangible heritage values have vital significance in increasing well-being
and sustainable development of residents and serve as sense of place, and contribute to the
distinctive, unique qualities and the image of cities. This accords to explicit cultural heritage target
(target 11, 4) of the 15-year SDG of the Agenda 2030.
Ulaanbaatar (UB), the capital city of Mongolia is an amazing combination of nomadic traditions and
modern city’s life-style and heritage values. The city is divided in distinct parts: a formal urban core
area and Ger (Mongolian conical dwelling of nomads) area. The Ger area’s population is estimated at
800,000 which equals to the 60% of the city’s population. Increasing migration to the UB city leads to
over urbanization and over-centralization here.
UB as an urban modern city has only about 70 year old history. During this period several development
plans have been elaborated and implemented by Government and city’s authorities. Unfortunately, the
inclusion of cultural heritage factors and consideration of cultural interests and needs of communities
were usually ignored in its planning.
However, recently, urgent needs were raised to change the planning paradigm of city’s development
and consider possibilities of integration of heritage values and sustainable development in planning
processes involving various stakeholders.
In order to initiate the action in this direction, feasibility study in UB city has started under title
“Ulaanbaatar Ger area cultural heritage, Tourism and Community Enhancement Project”.
In this case study we try to identify both tangible and intangible values in the Ger areas, integrate them,
and include the safeguarding and developing measures into planning of city’s development. The plan
not only calls for the conservation cultural values but also for the sustainable development of the Ger
areas and upgrading a livelihood for inhabitants by improving economic opportunities and social and
cultural environment. |
