Herindep:Heritage in Depopulated European Areas Survey
An invitation to take part in an important survey about Shetland's future
Introduction
As part of the Heritage in Depopulated European Areas (HerInDep) project, this survey aims to gather information on the connections between heritage and population change in Shetland.
Drs. Andrew Jennings and Andrew Lind from the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Institute for Northern Studies are conducting the survey. They are collaborating with partners at the Shetland Heritage Association and the Shetland Amenity Trust.
This research will be used alongside the work carried out in the Heritage Connections Project to explore the role of heritage in maintaining a sustainable population in the islands. For the purposes of this survey, heritage encompasses tangible cultural heritage, intangible cultural heritage, and natural heritage.
We are specifically looking for respondents who are actively involved in Shetland’s heritage sector.
What is Involved?
The survey comprises a short text-based questionnaire survey consisting of 14 questions. It is estimated that it will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please provide as much detail in your responses as you can.
Take Part in Planning your Islands' Future
The findings of this research will actively inform future policy and decision-making at a local, national and international level.
All results will be shared with our local partners to help inform future policy and strategy, while simultaneously feeding into national and international policy guidance and recommendations via the HerInDep project. Moreover, the research will be disseminated to a wider academic audience via publications and presentations. This is an opportunity to have your thoughts heard and influence these actions.
