The Sense of Place of Local Mining Heritage in Wallonia
ABSTRACTMining activities have shaped the landscape and local communities in Belgium and several countries worldwide. This research investigates the uses and ascribed heritage status of former coal mining sites and slag heaps that are not listed as major mining sites. Many former mining sites lack official recognition and are challenging for planning and regional development. However, in many places, populations, NGOs, and authorities want to maintain the traces of local history, which mostly requires finding new usages. Based on an oral survey of residents living near two former Belgian mining sites and semi-structured interviews with actors active in transforming these sites (regarding their functions and physical components), this paper analyzes the relations between the population and these places and explores the interests of local actors. Through descriptive and exploratory statistical analyses, we underline that former mining sites and their slag heaps provide several services for society (including recreational, environmental, and cultural services), which make them significant for inhabitants. Furthermore, while local authorities showed low interest in mining heritage, they recognize the assets of former mining sites to support urban and economic development and the preservation of green infrastructure and cultural heritage. Today, various local actors influence the preservation and management of local mining heritage by selecting elements of the place’s history, developing new uses, and rewriting narratives that include past and present activities.KEYWORDS: Heritage functionsindustrial heritagelocal heritagememorymining heritagesense of placeBelgiumWallonia AcknowledgmentsWe thank the actors interviewed and the inhabitants surveyed for contributing to this research.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s ).Notes1 All the research participants were informed about the aim of the research and how the data would be used.

期刊介绍:
Heritage & Society is a global, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholarly, professional, and community reflection on the cultural, political, and economic impacts of heritage on contemporary society. We seek to examine the current social roles of collective memory, historic preservation, cultural resource management, public interpretation, cultural preservation and revitalization, sites of conscience, diasporic heritage, education, legal/legislative developments, cultural heritage ethics, and central heritage concepts such as authenticity, significance, and value. The journal provides an engaging forum about tangible and intangible heritage for those who work with international and governmental organizations, academic institutions, private heritage consulting and CRM firms, and local, associated, and indigenous communities. With a special emphasis on social science approaches and an international perspective, the journal will facilitate lively, critical discussion and dissemination of practical data among heritage professionals, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
