Abstract

Finland's National Board of Antiquities and the Finnish Local Heritage Federation conducted this survey to gather views and ideas on cultural heritage. Data were gathered with an open web consultation where anyone could respond to a survey containing open-ended questions. The aim was to gather information for the preparation of the ratification of Council of Europe Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society (Faro Convention).

Questions charted, for instance, what kind of cultural heritage the respondents would like to pass down to others, what kind of places and locations they valued in their own environment, potential benefits and adverse effects of cultural heritage, and ideas on ways and means of developing and transmitting cultural heritage. The archived dataset is a text file containg the questions and the respondents' answers to each question. It is not possible to see how one particular respondent had answered to different questions. There were 130 respondents.

The dataset is only available in Finnish.
