Popis: Recent European policies consider cultural heritage as a "common good" and a key element for sustainable development. In this context, the "Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society" (Faro Convention), signed in 2005, recognizes Cultural Heritage in both its material and immaterial dimensions, as linked to the identity of places and communities, constituting a shared source of legacy, understanding, identity, cohesion and creativity. Cultural heritage provides communities with tangible and intangible experiences that favor the perception of common past and traditions, strengthening ties between individuals and places and favoring the social cohesion of communities. The multiple meanings and values that cultural heritage conveys highlight the interaction between local, cultural, historical and psychosocial dimensions by enhancing territorial resources. The recognition and enjoyment of environmental and cultural heritage improve residents' and visitors' quality of life and well-being. This process provides opportunities for discussion and debate on issues that affect the entire community, as well as to expand social capital, affecting community ties. This broad conceptualization of heritage, which also refers to the role and function of civic participation, opens the perspectives to many possible intercultural and inter-institutional collaborations and to innovative ways of promoting the development of cultural sites, communities and heritage. The coexistence of different values and social actors shows the need to overcome the collective action dilemmas that characterize the conservation, use, maintenance and management of the common goods. Starting from these principles the Special Issue, in a transdisciplinary perspective, aims at investigating the innovative models of governance and management based on collaboration, cooperation and active involvement of communities, oriented to the implementation of strategies for promoting innovative forms of social cohesion and spatial regeneration in urban and rural contexts. Scholars are invited to submit papers that will show new approaches referring (though not exclusively) to the following topics: Places, participation, values and connections Individual and collective fights in the participatory management of heritage Cultural commons, valorization and urban regeneration Collaborative governance, management and business development Identity of places, attachment, belonging and sense of community Coexistence, ties, and memory
