Cultural and Linguistic Assets in Territorial Development: Heritage Valorization and Regional Integration, (Paperback)

Cultural and linguistic assets shape territorial development by strengthening regional identity, social cohesion, and economic growth. Heritage valorization involves recognizing, preserving, and promoting cultural traditions, languages, historical sites, and local knowledge as valuable resources for sustainable development. In many regions, these assets contribute to tourism, education, creative industries, and community empowerment while fostering a sense of belonging among local populations. Cultural and linguistic heritage may support regional integration by encouraging intercultural dialogue, cooperation, and inclusive development strategies in a globalized world. Cultural and Linguistic Assets in Territorial Development: Heritage Valorization and Regional Integration explores how endogenous resources, specifically cultural, linguistic, and heritage assets, serve as vectors for regional development and social cohesion in low-density, peripheral, and interior territories. It examines how cultural capital is strategically mobilized to produce distinct regional narratives, reinforce place-based identities, and foster a sense of belonging in contexts increasingly shaped by globalizing pressures. This book covers topics such as sociology, indigenous knowledge, and ecology, and is a useful resource for educators, historians, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
