My Son: New Management model for cultural heritage protection!

My Son, Vietnam - The important My Son Temple complex in Central Vietnam is facing a restructuring of his administration. The report on the management model has already been submitted to the constant committee of the party committee of the Duy Xuyen district committee for examination. This is done in a context that emphasizes the need for more effective management of the cultural heritage in order to be able to react to the challenges of urbanization, tourism development and climate change. The current administrative approach reaches limits, which is why new models are discussed.

A total of three options for the management model are proposed: the establishment of an board of directors under the Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism, the direct subordination to the People's Committee of the Province or the Subordination on the People's Committee of the municipality. The director of the My Son Cultural Heritage Management Board, Nguyen Cong Khiet, speaks for the management of the Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism and sees it an appropriate solution.

Current organizational structure and employee qualifications

The management team of the My Son Tempel complex currently includes 140 employees, distributed over six specialist departments. The qualifications of the employees are diverse: seven have a master's degree, 51 have a bachelor or engineering title, 19 a university degree, 28 A medium degree and 35 employees have no formal training.

An advantage of direct subordination to the province's popular committee is that approvals for preserving and restoration work are facilitated. This model also offers financial autonomy and flexibility in carrying out professional activities. Mr. Dang Huu Phuc, Deputy Chairman of the Volks Committee of the Duy Xuyen district, supports the transfer of the administration of the cultural heritage to the province of the People's Committee in order to create better conditions for the preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage.

The meaning of My Son and Cultural Background

my Son, known as a beautiful mountain, is a temple city that is about 25 kilometers of western southwest of Hội on the province of Quảng Nam. This site was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999 and is considered a significant remnant of the champa culture, which has been created on the coast of Vietnam since the second or 3rd century and was strongly influenced by Indian culture, especially by Shivaism.

With more than 70 preserved temples that group in central turmoil and smaller buildings, My Son symbolizes the cultural exchange and influences of the Hindu architecture in Southeast Asia. The 24 -meter -high tower, which was destroyed during the Vietnam War, is particularly well known. The reconstruction of the temple is extremely difficult due to the unique seamless construction of the Cham.

The facility itself was forgotten after the disintegration of the champa kingdom, but was rediscovered by French colonial men at the end of the 19th century, which started to explore and partially restore the site. With a new management model, Vietnam wants to ensure that the valuable cultural legacies are preserved in the long term and are accessible to future generations.

In summary, it can be said that the restructuring of the management of the temple city of My Son is not only a necessary reaction to current challenges, but is also a decisive step to secure the cultural heritage of Vietnam.
