Potential for learning or transfer
All the regions have heritage that is worth to protect and valorize and public organisms with experts that have a good knowledge of their territories, and so this experience is highly transferrable.
.A systematic approach to its study helps in the identification of the values of the heritage, and even to discover some elements that would be otherwise ignored.
But just the study is not enough. Informative publications and platforms with attractive proposals for the citizens would transfer these values the society and even create new opportunities.
