ABSTRACT
Qatar, has a rich history and seen many changes in a small amount of
time, investigating its heritage. Although a young state established in 1868 Qatar’s key sectors is trying to create their own
policy strategies. Major issues concern cultural heritage, sporting, education
and natural resources. In present paper it is argued Qatar’s Benefit by
recentralising focus on to heritage policies. Issue of Qatar’s heritage policy regarding safeguarding of
cultural Heritage is deemed important. We place Qatar’s need to reserve cultural heritage as one of great concern worldwide that remains a critical
duty. The UNESCO upholds heritage protection as a universal issue and
here we focus on two closely connected factors, social change, and
globalizations; a change as a result of a large economic development, which the
country is witnessing from the rapid acceleration in development and social
changes. The impact of economic growth and globalization on the Qatari heritage is
inevitable. Following UNESCO policies in practice we are proposing a new model
for Qatar’s heritage policies, with example topics to be covered refer to
activities, education, policies, preservation. A critical
discussion on the social, economic, external factor is
made. Emphasis is given to the sustainability in cultural heritage, the
cohesion and well-being, the ecosystem supporting artists, cultural and
creative professionals and Arabian content, the gender equality, the
international cultural relation, with the culture as a driver for sustainable
development. The proposed integrated heritage
model for Qatar is considered valuable in maintaining its heritage,
while also adapting to future challenges and enhance regional and international
cooperation and peace.
