Cultural heritage

            Cultural heritage ("national heritage" or simple inheritance) is the bequest of natural objects (cultural property) and intangible characteristics of a group or society that have been bequeathed by the older generations and are preserved in the present while, at the same time, to benefit next generations. The term Cultural Heritage includes tangible civilization (such as buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art and evidence), intangible civilization (such as folklore, traditions, language and knowledge) and the "natural" heritage, major cultural landscapes and biodiversity. The cultural heritage is unique and irreplaceable, which places the modern civilization under the responsibility of preserving and preserving it. Smaller objects such 

as works of art and other cultural masterpieces are collected from museums and galleries. As part of this preservation of the cultural reserve, successful efforts have been made to preserve the "future heritage" of many nations. Folk organizations and political groups such as UNESCO have successfully obtained the necessary support for this project.

Ethics and principles (reasoning or logic) of cultural preservation

            Objects are a branch of the study of human history. A simple object can provide a certain idea of ideas and, at the same time, its existence to validate it. Through the preservation of objects it is clear the recognition of the need of the past and more the need to transmit its history. In the book "The Past Is a Foreign Country," David Lowenthal observes that the preserved objects validate memories (Digital acquisition techniques). Digital acquisition techniques can provide a technological solution in which the object acquires the corresponding shape and appearance of original masterpieces with unprecedented accuracy in the evolution of human history.

Classical cultures, especially the Indian, attach great value to preserving tradition. In the context of this belief, social institutions, scientific knowledge and technological applications must use their "heritage" as a qualification.

Speaking in a more modern language, we could say that the ancient Indians considered social qualities, economic privileges (such as natural resources and exploited real estate) as well as factors that promote social integration

(such as institutions to maintain knowledge and for the maintenance of the social hierarchy and class). Based on the rules of Ethics, everything that has been inherited should not be consumed; instead it must be bequeathed again, possibly enriched by successive generations. This was a moral imperative for all. What is regarded as a "cultural heritage" by one generation is likely to be rejected by the next, so that it can be revived again by the next.

Types of Heritage

            Cultural Property

                        Buildings and historical places, monuments, books, documents, works of art, machines, clothing and other items considered to be worthwhile to preserve over time. Objects of major importance for the fields of archeology, science, architecture or technology

 of a particular culture.

      

The cultural property is divided into :

• Museology

• Archiving / Archival Science

• Maintenance and Rehabilitation

•Art restoration

• Architectural maintenance

• Safeguard cinematographic files

• Conservation of audio archive material

• Digital preservation

            Intangible Culture

                        The Intangible Cultural Heritage consists of the non-palpable features of a particular culture, which are often preserved by social customs during a particular historical period. The ways and means of behavior of a society and the frequent formal rules of operation in a particular cultural climate, such as social values ​​and traditions, customs and practices, aesthetic and spiritual perceptions, artistic expression, language, as well as other aspects of human cultural activity. Maintaining intangible heritage is more difficult than maintaining natural / tangible objects. Besides, the importance of natural objects can be interpreted against the background of the socio-economic, political, religious and philosophical values ​​of a particular group of people.

The Intangible culture is divided into :

• Folklore

• Oral History

• Preservation of the language

            Natural Heritage

                        "Natural Heritage" is an important part of "Heritage" of the society in question. Embracing the outdoors, the natural environment such as flora and fauna, scientifically known under the term "biodiversity" as well as geological elements including mineralogy, paleontology, with the scientific concept of " geological diversity ". Natural bequests serve, as an important component, the tourism industry of each country attracting many visitors from abroad, both elsewhere and locally. The heritage includes cultural landscapes (physical features with cultural traits).

The Natural Heritage is divided into :

• Ethnobotanology

• Conservation of rare breeds

The Global Action for "Heritage"

            Indicative and important event of global activity for the preservation of cultural heritage, is the Conference on the protection of world cultural and Natural Heritage adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in 1972. The 2011 lists 936 World Heritage locations, 725 cultural, 183 Physical and 28 Mixed Properties in 153 countries. Each of these points is considered important in the international community. The "underwater" heritage is under the auspices of the UNESCO Council for the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage. This contract is a legitimate means of helping States Parties improve the effort of Underwater Cultural Heritage Protection. Additionally, UNESCO has set aside masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of mankind.
