Abstract

An ecomuseum guides its conservation, training, and identity building and heritage reproduction, based on proximity to the territory and its populations. This entails a flexible management system that adapts to contextual specificities, empowering local populations to govern themselves in relation to a common project. This study explores the activation in ecomuseum governance processes, in particular The Cultural Community Development Project of the Village on the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain), consisting of 15 museums related to traditional crafts and work. From the analysis it is possible to confirm that co-management, in accordance with governance, is an effective tool for sharing responsibilities and competencies in resource management, being sustainable over time and contributing to overcoming intermediate crisis (economic and social).
