Capability building enables people, groups, organisations and nations to achieve a greater range of activities. A program of capability building activities in Vietnam over the past decade provides the case study for this paper. From these activities and the progress of the program we have constructed an explicit approach of capability building that deals with maritime archaeology and underwater cultural heritage. The aim of this paper is to explain how the elements of our value-based approach interact to establish and enhance capability through knowledge capital development. Our notion of capability building is based on a programme taking place over an extended period of time. The extended time period is necessary to achieve long-term change or at least critical reflection on the part of the host organisation. This process causes a direct exposure to the ethical and disciplinary tenets of maritime archaeology on the part of the host organisation, but some initial congruence of values is considered critical in order to achieve effective outcomes. The program is based on principles of commitment to empowerment, participative learning, learning reinforcement mechanisms, and intensive communication with the stakeholders of the host organisation. We argue that training alone does not work and so the approach underlying the programme encompasses an integrated approach by supplementing training in a variety of forms with advice, mentoring, academic research and cultural heritage management-based approaches to help answer specific problems faced by the host organisation.

选择、价值观和能力建设：来自越南的案例研究

能力建设使人们、团体、组织和国家能够实现更广泛的活动。越南过去十年的能力建设活动计划为本文提供了案例研究。从这些活动和项目的进展中，我们构建了一个明确的能力建设方法，处理海洋考古学和水下文化遗产。本文的目的是解释我们基于价值的方法的要素如何相互作用，以通过知识资本开发来建立和增强能力。我们的能力建设概念是基于一个在很长一段时间内发生的项目。延长时间段对于实现长期变革或至少对东道组织进行批判性反思是必要的。这一过程导致东道组织直接接触到海洋考古学的伦理和纪律原则，但一些初始的价值观一致性被认为是实现有效结果的关键。该计划基于致力于赋权、参与式学习、学习强化机制以及与东道组织利益相关者的深入沟通的原则。我们认为仅靠培训是行不通的，因此该计划的基础方法包括一种综合方法，通过以各种形式补充培训，并提供建议、指导、学术研究和基于文化遗产管理的方法，以帮助解决东道主面临的具体问题组织。
