ABSTRACT The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) has undertaken a radical revisioning process via a collections and interiors review to protect significance whilst broadening support for conservation. This project reframes the consequences arising from a selection of current and possible uses of collections within an historic building. It creates a lifetime risk approach against which short-term activities can be benchmarked to inform decision-making at a local level. Instead of framing consequences from operation or more intense visitor patterns in terms of tangible change the project jointly conceives benefits across the mission of NTS allowing a direct comparison between benefits and consequences. A representative selection of current and possible use scenarios is being generated by the staff of Newhailes House, Edinburgh. A framework is presented in which the anticipated benefits from proposed activities will be identified and roughly quantified. Results of these assessments will be manipulated to create effective communication visuals. Psychology suggests that this will enable a more informed and balanced stakeholder engagement. This project fundamentally shifts the conservation discussion from permissive versus conservative conservation approaches, replacing the statements that ‘I am a no touch’ or ‘I am a please touch’ conservator with an evidence-informed and bias-reduced decision-making strategy.

从好处开始：减少保护决策中的偏见

摘要 苏格兰国家信托基金 (NTS) 已通过收藏品和室内设计审查进行了彻底的修订过程，以保护重要性，同时扩大对保护的支持。该项目重新定义了历史建筑内收藏品的当前和可能用途的选择所产生的后果。它创建了一种终生风险方法，可以将短期活动作为基准，为地方层面的决策提供信息。该项目没有将运营的后果或更强烈的游客模式的有形变化框架化，而是通过 NTS 的使命共同设想收益，从而允许直接比较收益和结果。爱丁堡 Newhailes House 的工作人员正在生成当前和可能的使用场景的代表性选择。提出了一个框架，其中将确定和粗略量化拟议活动的预期收益。这些评估的结果将被操纵以创建有效的沟通视觉效果。心理学表明，这将使利益相关者的参与更加知情和平衡。该项目从根本上将保护讨论从宽容的保护方法转变为保守的保护方法，用循证和减少偏见的决策策略取代了“我是不接触”或“我是请接触”保护者的陈述。心理学表明，这将使利益相关者的参与更加知情和平衡。该项目从根本上将保护讨论从宽容的保护方法转变为保守的保护方法，用循证和减少偏见的决策策略取代了“我是不接触”或“我是请接触”保护者的陈述。心理学表明，这将使利益相关者的参与更加知情和平衡。该项目从根本上将保护讨论从宽容的保护方法转变为保守的保护方法，用循证和减少偏见的决策策略取代了“我是不接触”或“我是请接触”保护者的陈述。
