paradigm of sustainable development, it has yet to build a high level of global governance<br />

system in the fields of culture and development as it had to address environment and climate<br />

change.<br />

The goal of this study is to help build the correlation between culture and development and<br />

thereby ensure the effectiveness of international development cooperation. Ultimately, it<br />

seeks to lay down the foundation for future discussion regarding culture and development<br />

that will become the basis for the establishment of a global system of cultural governance.<br />

For this purpose, this study will first attempt to develop a correlated network of culture and<br />

development through classification and case study.<br />

Culture and development are familiar concepts to all but there have been few efforts for<br />

their systematic classification. This study will first refer to the classification by the (cultural)<br />

heritage economist Throsby (2012) who, in his paper on the “Economics of (Cultural)<br />

Heritage”, divided the values of cultural heritage into economic and cultural values.<br />

First, economic value consists of two subcategories: use value and non-use value. The<br />

former refers to the value of cultural heritage as a consumable good enjoyed by individuals,<br />

while the latter refers to the value of cultural heritage as public goods 3 . For instance, the<br />

restoration of an old building may enhance its use value and enable a higher rent, thus<br />

increasing benefits for the landlord. Also, if the restoration of historic buildings provides an<br />

opportunity for tourists to revisit them and the improvement of the cityscape increases the<br />

satisfaction of its citizens, this translates into better individual welfare. On the other hand,<br />

non-use value is indiscernible in the market. Divided into present and future values, this is a<br />

common value found in cultural and environmental goods (i.e. environmental assets).<br />

Therefore, one may borrow the methodology of evaluating non-use value from the field of<br />

environmental studies 4 .<br />

Second, while cultural value, unlike its economic counterpart, is hard to quantify, it does<br />

generate a wide range of cultural effects: (a) aesthetic value that enhances environmental<br />

value; (b) symbolic value that defines the identity and cultural code of communities; (c)<br />

spiritual value that instills cultural conviction in citizens; (d) social value that promotes social<br />

stability through increased solidarity; (e) historical value that uses cultural heritage as a<br />
