Omvandlingsprocess av kustnära kulturvärden och kulturmiljöarbete i ett förändrat näringsfång i Bohusläns kustsamhällen

Abstract

This study aims to reason and investigate the conservation authorities' institutions and conservation authorities' approach and methods and the value perceptions of various actors of coastal communities in Bohuslän. This study has focused on the observation and reflections of the study's actors in connection with a new daily business or conservation and preservation in the built environment. The thesis has investigated how coastal communities' cultural and historic environments have arisen and changed under the influence of several connections and factors. The study expects to make visible and clarify a transformation process of coastal cultural-historical values in selected coastal communities. The study also expects to make visible and clarify cultural heritage and historic environmental work in a changing daily business during the last 40 years. Therefore, the method of this essay has been an exploratory study of both quantitative and qualitative nature—empirical findings on case studies of both Mollösund and Sydkoster and interviews includes people who are actors in these cultural environments in various ways, including the institutions of conservation authorities. The survey shows that conservation authorities' definition of cultural value changes to varying degrees over time. Some cultural-historical values seem more permanent than others, and how permanent the cultural-historical value is over time is difficult to assess. The results show that a new economic daily business, housing ownership and community planning structure presents conservation authorities' cultural and historic environment work with new challenges. In conclusion, the study draws two overarching conclusions regarding conservation authorities' approach and methods to cultural-historical values in a changing economy, home ownership and community planning in Bohuslän's coastal communities.
