activities that encourage new attitudes and approaches to long-term sustainable management of heritage. WP6 Developing management plans and evaluation of the methodology: Partner heritage sites are seen as "learning resources", to be used both at local and transnational level to apply and evaluate the methodology through the elaboration of management plans. The combination of effective methodology, valuable management plans and adequate skills will allow the design of concrete actions aimed at stimulating local development and job generation. WP7 Stimulating jobs and income generation through the sustainable management of cultural heritage: coordinated guidance (through market strategies, business plans and a Blueprint) grounded in sustainable principles to promote SEE cultural heritage sites and enhance economic development is embodied in the WP7 - Stimulating jobs and income generation through the sustainable management of cultural heritage

WP4 – Survey Activities
The survey was undertaken as part of the Working Package 4 whose aim is to transnational develop a common methodology for the integrated management of cultural heritage sites. In particular the survey represents the implementation of the Activities 4.2 and 4.3 that are described as follow: • Act. 4.2 Collecting and sharing methods and best practices for participative cultural heritage management in the SEE area. Numerous guidelines for the management of cultural heritage exist. However, one size cannot fit all; guidelines which are not rooted in an understanding of the complexity of a specific area risk being vague or irrelevant. The task provides a nonexhaustive but updated and relevant summary of best practices to be taken into account within the methodology for the development and effective implementation of management plans. The task will be carried out through a questionnaire by CULTUREPOLIS in close collaboration with project partners in order to capitalize practices and experiences from those who work closer to cultural heritage. The task goes beyond the limits of SEE borders with the aim of exploring local, regional, national and international experiences, outcomes and best practices. Outputs of relevant EU funded projects were also carefully considered and capitalized. A report on best practice for participative cultural heritage management will be produced • Act 4.3 Identification of needs, expectations and proposals for a common methodology. Responding to existing needs and challenges is a core objective 5
