A New Approach to Accessible, Participatory, and Inclusive Cultural Heritage

A New Approach to Accessible, Participatory, and Inclusive Cultural Heritage

The work titled “iNCLUSION in the Cultural Heritage Sector,” published by TÜBA, brings together scientific approaches, international examples, and implementation models aimed at making cultural heritage accessible, understandable, and open to participation for everyone. Edited by TÜBA President Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Şeker and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kevser Çınar, the publication does not view inclusivity in cultural heritage as limited solely to physical access conditions; rather, it is shaped around the experiences, representations, and decision-making processes of people with disabilities and groups that face difficulties participating in cultural life for various reasons. It serves as a comprehensive reference source not only for cultural heritage researchers and academics but also for museum directors, cultural heritage specialists, tourism professionals, educators, architects, urban planners, digital technology developers, and those working in the field of public policy.
