Abstract (in English)

This paper focuses on financial and other concerns necessary to achieve conservation and revitalization in the communities of Samoa, California and Levuka, Fiji. Governmental measures, without financial resources, are often inadequate to protect the intangible spirit of a place. The private sector, coupled with support from the public and other stakeholders, must be engaged to attract revenues for preservation. Unlike individual building or structures, the survival of historic towns with multiple contributing resources requires new strategies and realistic objectives
