Historic Houses, Global Crossroads Research Blend 6: Global Heritage
RB6 is conducting a 400-person Choice Modelling Survey and econometric Cultural Value Analysis at Mount Stewart to capture the preferences of visitors (on-site) and non-visitors (via cold-call and email) for the project’s planned ‘global crossroads’ curatorial and ecological provision. The Survey and subsequent analysis will be used to develop a sector-leading interactive digital, data-driven, reusable tool to allow the National Trust to forecast demand and identify factors impacting site sustainability.
The tool will inform National Trust, Clandeboye and wider heritage sector decision-making, providing econometric insights on diversity, curatorial innovation, public engagement, serving as a model for how Choice Modelling can enable responses to climate change, diversity and nature deficits.
