Introduction

Heritage Planning, as any other planning, can only work is all the parameters are spelled out clearly, ifall the threats and problems have been identified and analysed in a structured fashion to isolatesymptoms from causes, and to identify the underlying causal variables giving rise to many problems.

This document represents an attempt to summarise the key issues facing the cultural heritagemanagement programmes of New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea,based on in-country visits of by Spennemann/Vusoniwailala in November 1995 and in-country feedback to Spennemann/Meyenn in March 1996 and June 1996. The document comprises a series oftables which set out the issues and summarise the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats foreach issue and which develop a series of program areas which might be suitable for regional EU-funded projects.

The comments in this document have been drawn up based upon reflection of comments made byparties interviewed, as well as personal observations. The perceived weaknesses and threats expressedbelow are not to be construed as expressed criticisms of the status quo but as issues which the culturalheritage managers may wish to consider in the present and future heritage planning.

Likewise, while the strengths should be read as laudable achievements, they need to be maintained soas not to turn into weaknesses. If the underlying assumptions of proposed projects rely on currentlevels of identified strengths, then the reduction of these strengths will create threats to the success ofthe project(s).

All countries had input into the tables in their initial creation, as well as opprtunities to comment ontheir relevant sections of the document.

Issues by countryThe issues are set out by country and use the traditional SWOT analysis approach (figure 1).

These issues are summarised here to allow the development of project and programme areas. The per-ceived weaknesses and threats expressed below are not to be construed as criticisms of the status quobut as issues which the cultural heritage managers may wish to consider in the present and future her-itage planning.

Likewise, while the strengths should be read as laudable achievements, they need to be maintained soas not to turn into weaknesses. If the underlying assumptions of proposed projects rely on currentlevels of identified strengths, then the reduction of these strengths will create threats to the success ofthe project(s).

The material has been structured into five major categories with a number of sub categories for each.These categories are not country specific as the table material needs permit a regional and subregionalanalysis.

1.0 Cultural Heritage Manifestations1.1. Immovable Cultural Heritage1.2. Moveable Cultural Heritage1.3. Intangible Cultural Heritage

2.0 Cultural Heritage Policy and Planning2.1. Heritage Policy2.2. Cultural Heritage Legislation2.3. Heritage Planning2.4. Funding Base2.5. Heritage Agencies2.6. Key Stakeholders

3.0. Cultural Heritage Integration into other sectors3.1. Formal Education3.2. Community Education3.3. Tourism

4.0 Heritage Data Management4.1. Land Management4.2. Heritage Site Inventory4.3. Heritage Site Management4.3. Research4.4. Local Control

5.0 Cultural Heritage Infrastructure5.1. Extent of skill base5.4. Operations5.5. Communications

Each of these sub-categories has a number of issues appended. Not all issues were seen as relevant inall of the countries, and thus several blanks table cells remain.
