Abstract

The objective of this particular research is to investigate the scope of community participation of the residents around the selected historic monument site of Chauburji, Lahore for sustainable tourism. The city of Lahore in Pakistan like other third world country cities is facing the adverse impacts of urbanization and infrastructure development. This process of new development and remodeling of the city excluding the historicity of the city is generating the chaotic situations in the city as seen in the case of Chauburji historic monument. The visual and questionnaire survey was conducted for the collection of data. The results showed that encouragement from the government is needed to initiate the active participation of the community. Moreover, the recommendations are made for the public and private partnerships. A participatory plan was also devised indicating the proposed recommendations for sustainable tourism and historic monuments being part of the integrated planning processes.
