A Conceptual Model of Resilient Policy-Making in the Field of Intangible Cultural Heritage

In the accelerated changes in the cultural and social sphere of the contemporary era, rethinking the policy-making mechanisms of intangible cultural heritage becomes an inevitable necessity. Therefore, the present study, in response to the central question of "Resilient policy-making in the field of intangible cultural heritage, based on the GALLDS model, what components does it require?" has been organized with a qualitative-conceptual approach and based on the method of inductive theme analysis. The research data were collected through a systematic review of 43 sources, including scientific research articles, international documents, and case studies, and were analyzed using MAXQDA software in three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. The result of this analysis was the extraction of three conceptual, strategic, and consequential layers, each of which observes an area of resilient policy-making in the context of intangible heritage. As in the conceptual layer, themes such as living heritage, dynamic collective memory, and intergenerational interaction depict the theoretical basis for a fluid understanding of cultural dynamics. In the strategic layer, multi-level policy-making, the role of intermediary institutions, and the redistribution of cultural power were identified as mechanisms for the realization of context-based policies. Also, in the consequential layer, concepts such as social resilience, cultural empowerment, and institutional trust reconstruction reveal the multi-layered functions of participatory policy-making. Thus, these findings suggest a coherent, multi-level, and contextual framework based on cultural memory, local capacities, and flexible institutional architecture to provide a platform for promoting cultural governance, social resilience, and participatory development.
