ABSTRACT
In today's society, the public is more and more reluctant to accept public policies which exclude them, especially when they are affected directly. Against this background, cultural heritage preservation cannot do without public participation and must share its achievements with the public. The term refers to the large-scale ancient cultural sites which have outstanding cultural value. Administrators and policy makers must face up to this reality and respond positively. Cultural heritage is the common wealth of humankind, and one of its basic attributes is that it belongs to the public and is inseparably linked to public participation. Without public participation, the preservation of cultural heritage will be short-lived. This is the only way we can expect the public to understand the value and significance of the preservation of cultural heritage. To avoid public participation becoming purely nominal, we must make the best use of public and social organisations.
