Today, we are discussing the concept of re-heritagisation. Can anyone tell me what they think that term means?
Is it about recognizing and preserving heritage sites?
Exactly! It's about reassessing the value of heritage sites, especially when circumstances require change, such as moving buildings in Kiruna due to mining. What emotional connections can arise from such buildings?
People might feel sad to see them go because they represent their history.
That’s very true. These buildings can symbolize community identity, making their relocation a sensitive topic. Let's remember with the acronym 'HERITAGE' which stands for 'Historical Emotions Relating to Identity Through Architecture, Generational Experience.'
Now, let's discuss the key stakeholders in the re-heritagisation process in Kiruna. Who are they?
I think there's the LKAB mining company, right?
That's right. LKAB is crucial as they financially support the relocation efforts. Who else?
The Kiruna Kommun, the town's administration, is also involved.
Perfect! And what about the people?
The local community is affected and plays a role in deciding what to preserve.
Exactly! We remember the relationship with the mnemonic 'K-L-P'—'Kommun, Local people, LKAB.'
Let’s explore the 1984 conservation plan and its implications for heritage buildings. What do you think the plan achieved?
It listed buildings that are important to preserve.
Correct! This 'listing' is part of our re-heritagisation efforts. Can anyone think of further steps that could happen after listing?
Maybe they could reinterpret some buildings' significance or even reject certain buildings from the list.
Exactly! Such actions reflect changing values toward heritage. Remember, ‘RESTORE’ stands for 'Reaffirm, Engage, Sustain, Transcend, Oversee, Recognize, and Evolve.'
Let’s now address the challenges involved in stakeholder relationships during this process. Why might there be confusion among them?
They might not know who is responsible for decisions about moving buildings.
Very insightful! This uncertainty can hinder effective action. What do we remember about the relationships, based on our earlier discussion?
LKAB has financial power, while the Kommun has the administrative side but the community's input is crucial too.
That’s correct! Remember the acronym 'CAP'—'Communities Affect Planning.' It highlights how stakeholders must engage for successful re-heritagisation.
Finally, let’s look at future planning. What elements should be considered for sustainability during relocation?
They should consider the environmental impact on animals and habitats.
Right! It’s essential to think about ecosystems as part of the plan. How can we remember the pillars of sustainability?
I think 'E-S-E' works—'Environmental, Social, Economic.'
Excellent! This summary of approaches will guide our future discussions on managing changes to heritage sites.
The process of recognizing and preserving heritage.
Reevaluating the importance of designated heritage, especially during changes.
Key individuals or groups involved in the heritage conservation process.
Strategies for protecting heritage sites.
Removing a building's heritage status.
In Kiruna, heritage speaks, with memories that it seeks, young or old, all agree, heritage stays, it's key!
In a village named Kiruna, the townsfolk discovered that their beloved church would be moved, so they gathered to celebrate its history. They shared stories of the church's first services, reminding each other of the connections they had to their town’s heritage.
Use 'CAP' - Communities Affect Planning, to remember how stakeholder involvement is crucial.
Remember 'HERITAGE' for Historical Emotions Relating to Identity Through Architecture, Generational Experience.

This section explores the challenges and processes associated with re-heritagisation in Kiruna, reflecting on the complex interactions between various stakeholders, including LKAB, Kiruna Kommun, and local communities.
The text discusses the concept of re-heritagisation as it relates to the relocation and preservation of heritage structures in Kiruna. It highlights the involved parties, the nuances of heritage designation, and the societal impacts of these changes, emphasizing the need for thoughtful planning amid competing interests.
In this section, we delve into the notion of re-heritagisation in Kiruna, which refers to the processes undertaken to recognize and preserve heritage structures amidst the relocation necessitated by mining activities. Initial discussions reveal the frustrations regarding the demolition of crucial buildings and the emotional resonance connected to these heritage sites. Jennie Sjoholm’s research is pivotal in synthesizing extensive documentation from various stakeholders, including LKAB, the Kiruna Kommun, and various heritage boards. Her work underscores the importance of understanding the jargon in these conversations.
In 1984, a conservation plan was established, designating key heritage buildings and areas. It highlights three aspects of heritage processes: the addition of new heritage, reaffirmation of existing heritage, and the reinterpretation and potential rejection of previously designated areas. As the town of Kiruna prepares for a move, the community and stakeholders grapple with how to preserve the historical narrative of the site while addressing modern needs.
The section also discusses the complexities of stakeholder relationships, particularly between LKAB, the city administration, and the local residents. It raises questions about decision-making authority and seeks to address the uncertainties surrounding future planning and investment. The analysis reflects on the unique Swedish approach to relocation compared to other countries, emphasizing a more considerate approach towards community needs and ecological considerations.
