Abstract Information, culture, and memory centers are increasingly anchored to urban redevelopment projects within historically marginalized communities challenged by contemporary social and economic disparity. This paper situated libraries, archives, and museums within a sociocultural context to examine the role of cultural heritage institutions in gentrification. Librarians, archivists, curators, and community advocates in Detroit, Michigan shared their viewpoints and experiences of gentrification. Using a modified Delphi process, respondents explored the need for policy, service delivery, and programming assessment in a city of color at-risk to gentrification-induced displacement. This mixed research study was implemented using a concurrent triangulation design. A three-round e-Delphi survey (round one: n = 32; round two: n = 31; round three: n = 30) was conducted from May 2017 to August 2017. A panel of experts was selected composed of information, culture, and community workers who practiced: (a) at an anchor institution; (b) in a neighborhood undergoing gentrification; or (c) with community members seeking to stay put in transitioning neighborhoods. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed using inductive analysis and descriptive statistics. A nonparametric statistical test, Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance (W), measured the extent of agreement among the e-Delphi panelists’ rankings of issues and recommendations (identified by the panel members) regarding the role of cultural heritage institutions in gentrification and displacement. Thirty panel members (93%) in the first round of the survey indicated that it was important for cultural heritage institutions to assess if revitalization partnerships contributed to gentrification-induced displacement. The panel generated 25 propositions in the second round of survey, which they ranked in the third and final round of the survey. Kendall’s W for the rank ordering of the five most important issues (W = 0.008; X2 = 15.815; df = 6; p = 0.015) and ten most important recommendations (W = 0.050; X2 = 24.467; df = 17; p = 0.085) indicated a very weak level of agreement. The implication of this finding suggested a need for further exploration. This study adds to the global investigation on the role of cultural heritage institutions in gentrification and displacement and contributes to an emerging body of knowledge in cultural heritage informatics in the U.S.

盘绕公共机构的现实：关于信息，文化和社区利益相关者的电子德尔菲研究，为密歇根州底特律指明了前进的方向

摘要信息，文化和记忆中心越来越多地锚定在受现代社会和经济差距挑战的历史边缘社区中的城市重建项目。本文将图书馆，档案馆和博物馆置于社会文化背景下，以研究文化遗产机构在中产阶级化中的作用。密歇根州底特律的图书馆员，档案管理员，策展人和社区倡导者分享了他们关于高档化的观点和经验。通过使用改进的Delphi流程，被调查者探索了在一个因高级化而导致流离失所处于高风险色彩的城市中对政策，服务提供和编程评估的需求。这项混合研究使用并行三角测量设计实现。三轮e-Delphi调查（第一轮：n = 32；第二轮：n = 31；第三轮：n = 30）是从2017年5月至2017年8月进行的。专家小组由以下人员组成：信息，文化和社区工作者，他们在以下领域执业：（b）处于高档化的社区；（c）与社区成员寻求留在过渡社区中。使用归纳分析和描述性统计分析定性和定量数据。一项非参数统计检验，Kendall的一致性系数（W），衡量了e-Delphi小组成员在议题和建议（由小组成员确定）方面关于文化遗产机构在中产阶级化和流离失所中的作用的一致程度。在第一轮调查中，有30名小组成员（93％）指出，文化遗产机构必须评估振兴伙伴关系是否助长了绅士化导致的流离失所。小组在第二轮调查中提出了25个主张，他们在调查的第三轮也是最后一轮中排名。肯德尔W对五个最重要问题的排名进行排序（W = 0.008; X2 = 15.815; df = 6; p = 0.015）和十个最重要的建议（W = 0.050; X2 = 24.467; df = 17; p = 0.085 ）表示协议水平很差。这一发现意味着需要进一步探索。
