A Study of Management Approaches to the Architectural Heritage of Royal Palaces in the Shimla Region of Himachal Pradesh

Author(s) Dr. Dev Raj, Dr. Devinder Sharma
Country India
Abstract The architectural heritage in the Western Himalayan region of India has cultural identity, the continuation of history, and tourist value. However, due to urbanisation, an increase in the number of visitors, and environmental instability, the royal palaces of the region, like the Chail Royal Palaces, are under mounting pressure, and this is where good governance of the heritage becomes essential. This paper looks at the management styles, namely government policy, conservation practices, financial management, community participation, and tourism management, of the government in relation to the success of managing architectural heritage in the Shimla-Chail region. Data were analysed in SPSS 26 using descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression with the help of a cross-sectional primary survey of 552 stakeholders and a structured questionnaire with 37 items measured on five points Likert scale. The results indicate that the policy of the government, conservation practice, community involvement, and tourism management are the strongest predictors to manage the heritage management, whereas financial management is not, and tourism management and conservation have the strongest predictors. Such findings suggest that enhancing regulatory frameworks, scientific conservation, participatory governing, and sustainable tourism approaches are more significant than a budgetary increase by itself towards the protection of royal palace heritage.
