TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that local and indigenous communities should have the right to design their economic development and directly benefit through and from their local heritage, and that the profit from heritage tourism should return to local communities.
Abstract: Recent studies have widely discussed cultural heritage and property rights, rights to knowledge for indigenous and local communities, human rights in relation to cultural heritage, as well as impact of tourism on local communities and sustainable development through cultural heritage and past materials. This paper raises the ethical issues of economic income from cultural heritage by addressing the issue of why local and indigenous communities should have the right to design their economic development and directly benefit through and from their local heritage. In this paper, I argue that, as part of their human rights, local and indigenous communities should have the right to decide how to develop and use their local heritage as an ‘economic resource’ and, furthermore, that the profit from heritage tourism (i.e., sites, museums) should return to local and indigenous communities. I will look at three archaeological/heritage sites and their associated local communities in Turkey in order to demonstrate the pitfalls of neglecting the communities’ rights to decide on local heritage and to directly benefit economically from the heritage sites. By using an economic rights-centered approach, I will address the potential benefits of acknowledging these aspects and offer sustainable solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that nuclear power plants can be used as a memory site, and closed-down nuclear plants can also be considered as a place for remembering the past.
Abstract: Is it possible to imagine a nuclear power plant as a memory site? In many respects, the answer is yes Nuclear power already forms a part of cultural history museum exhibitions and closed-down nuclear plants have been documented and analysed from a heritage perspective However, they are also highly controversial places for remembering the past, since their significance is exceptionally ambiguous The plants stand for potential catastrophe, the complicated management of the radioactive waste and are often associated with nuclear weapons but – at the same time – they also imply hope in the future and a possible answer to the climate threat Are closed-down nuclear power plants to be preserved in some way, and in that case why? And is our understanding of the concept of heritage to change in some respects as a consequence of this?
