Heritage Survey Techniques for Identifying Historical Places
A heritage survey is a systematic approach to identifying heritage sites within a defined area, including Aboriginal, historic, and archaeological places. It involves thematic surveys, engaging the community, and determining places of significance. The survey helps in heritage protection decision-making, strengthening community identity, and promoting tourism. Local government, state bodies, heritage professionals, and community groups are key participants in conducting heritage surveys by following methods like preparing, investigating, reporting, and implementing recommendations.
