Summary: Community heritage planning is an emerging field. For many years the standard approach has been to undertake an inventory of all the heritage resources in a community, and then prepare a comprehensive management plan outlining how these resources are to be managed. Since this approach was adopted, there have been many changes made to community planning practice and management theory, out of which heritage planning originally came. The idea of the comprehensive city master plan has been replaced by smaller, more responsive community, plans which are updated on a five-year cycle. Public participation in the decision-making process has almost become routine. Strategic planning principles and information systems theory have altered the way we look at management planning and information gathering and processing. These and other related approaches have been incorporated into a new heritage planning model presented in this manual. Instead of beginning by compiling heritage information, the new model begins with acquiring an understanding of current needs, setting strategic goals or a vision of where the community would like to go, and then developing the necessary steps to get there. What information is gathered, or inventoried, depends upon what it is that the community needs to know in order to achieve the strategic goals. Throughout this process the heritage planner must act as a facilitator who continuously includes public and political participation as a integral part of the planning process. The need for British Columbia to have a better community heritage planning model will become even more apparent once the proposed heritage legislation becomes law. It will be the most advanced heritage legislation in the country and in order to take full advantage of its potential, the need for an effective planning system is critical. This Guide is based on the Heritage Conservation Act in effect in 1992. Eventually it may be revised to reflect the legislative changes of the new HCA of 1995. (Font: Prefaci)
