Abstract: "Cultural heritage protection by means of public education is an effective medium for the positive awareness at the local community level. In addition it provides enough force for capacity building for key stakeholders or advocates and other leaders to set the stage for community level goals towards cultural resource management mechanisms. This will promote effective and sustainable resource management, training, public education and awareness, and advocacy that will instigate community based efforts and goals in preserving archaeological heritage sites. Cultural resource management will allocate the awareness of traditional cultural heritage that would embody sustainability and sensitivity towards cultural antiquity. This report will examine the measures taken within the Bureau of Arts & Culture (BAC) and its subdivisions of their educational programs and other aid in helping the community [at the state and local level] plan medium-term goals for historic preservation as well as long-term preservation objectives geared for their state." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Palau Historic Preservation Office, Bureau of Arts & Culture, Ministry of Community and Cultural Affairs, administered by the Pacific West Regional Office, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
