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. The electronic version
