International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific region under the auspices of UNESCO (ICHCAP) published report on outcomes of the online survey on Silk Roads ICH Festivals. Sociological survey was carried out by the International Institute for Central Asian Studies (IICAS) in March-November 2020 among public bodies, academic circles and personnel related to ICH festivals in each of 9 countries related to the Silk Road: Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Republic of Korea, Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan. The valid sample consisted of 347 respondents in total. The publication contains the Survey Results Statistical Infographics, Survey Results Analysis Report and three appendices (Questionnaire, Table of Collected Survey Data and Collected Data on the List of ICH Festivals). This study is valuable both in terms of efforts to promote the newly established Silk Road Living Heritage Network (28 October 2021) by partner institutions, and in terms of obtaining reference data, namely baseline data on ICH and ICH transmission. It is expected that the outcomes of the survey project will contribute to increasing of the role of traditional festivals across the Silk Road region and to help enlarge the role of ICH in ensuring sustainable development in local communities.
