%T SENCE OF PLACE: THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN BUILT HERITAGE AND INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SINGAPORE
%U http://openarchive.icomos.org/id/eprint/2074/
%X Built heritage in Singapore is safeguarded through two legal regimes, one relating to national monuments declared under the Preservation of Monuments Act (Cap 239, 2011 Rev Ed), and the other relating to conservation areas declared under the Planning Act (Cap 232, 1998 Rev Ed). In contrast, no particular legal protection exists for intangible cultural heritage. Considering examples such as tomb inscriptions and rituals for honouring the deceased at Bukit Brown Cemetery, this article explores how built heritage can be secured and enriched by giving greater recognition and protection in international and domestic law to the intangible cultural heritage associated with it. There is also scope for built heritage to be used as a means of protecting intangible cultural heritage.  The article discusses on the important issues of the management and maintenance of cultural heritage in Turkey as well as tackles on the problems of financing the conservation efforts.
