Table 3 Practitioner evaluation criteria of intangible cultural heritage projects threatened level.
From: Intangible cultural heritage threatened-level categories and criteria
Part I. Practitioner | ||
|---|---|---|
Criterion A: Number of inheritors/learners | ||
a. Number of inheritors | b. Number of learners | Levels (Expected percentage) |
1. 0≤ no. <5 | 1. 0≤ no. <10 | Critically Endangered (5–10%) |
2. 5≤ no. <10 | 2. 10≤ no. <20 | Endangered (10–20%) |
3. 10≤ no. <20 | 3. 20≤ no. <40 | Vulnerable (20–30%) |
4. 20≤ no. <50 | 4. 40≤ no. <100 | Near Threatened (30–40%) |
5. no. ≥ 50 | 5. no. ≥100 | Least Concern |
*a and b are considered simultaneously. In cases where different threatened levels are identified for inheritors and learners, the final threatened level is determined by the higher of the two. Example: For an ICH project with 4 inheritors and 60 learners, the threatened level is classified as Critically Endangered. | ||
c. Number structure of inheritors/learners | ||
If the structure of numbers of inheritors and learners are health, i.e., is pyramidal shaped, down one level based on a and b. | ||
Criterion B: Age structure of inheritors/learners | ||
1. More than 90% of the inheritors are older than 60 years old | One level up in the result of criterion A | |
2. More than 90% of the learners are older than 35 years old | One level up in the result of criterion A | |
Criterion C: Number dynamic of inheritors/learners | ||
1. The number of inheritors has decreased by more than 90% in the last 10 years. | One level up in the result of criteria A and B | |
2. The number of learners has decreased by more than 90% in the last 10 years. | One level up in the result of criteria A and B | |
3. If C1 and C2 are not met, but the number of both inheritors and learners has decreased by more than 80% in the last 10 years. | One level up in the result of criteria A and B | |
