Résumé en anglais
Lunenburg and Koper were at crossroads! Traditional industries connecting them with the sea, and dating from their more prosperous periods of fishing, international trade, and maritime crafts were gone. Their traditional economic base had left them in decline.World Heritage attention presented both communities with tremendous opportunities for new economic development…international marketing, tourism, cultural industries, and rejuvenation of local business.
However, recognition produced the considerable challenge of protecting the historic character and assuring that new development and increased tourism would not diminish the community's integrity, both as a place to live and as international cultural sites.Wide community participation was needed in order to mitigate problems and manage the historic resources for the benefit of all. The communities could not stop change, but they could influence change. Each community produced a clear vision, a clearly defined game plan, and a strong commitment to achieving the plan. It made a real difference to the kind of change occurring.
Without resisting change, the communities found that they could direct change. Instead of fighting inevitable pressures beyond its control, they realized they must replace them with new initiatives that were traditional to the history and sustainability of each town. The plans are working…
