	What goes into a heritage study? The outcomes of any heritage investigation should be presented in a heritage study report. Your heritage study will be the basis of any funding submission, as well as being a resource document for any plan you develop for your heritage place. While reports can vary considerably, they are usually divided into four main sections: introduction description of the heritage place (Step 1) the significance of the heritage place (Step 4) results and recommendations   Introduction: the goal of the study the boundaries of the heritage study area who prepared the study.   Description: the study area environment and history the study methods used (such as community knowledge), and how much of the study area was covered by each method what community consultation was undertaken whether there are known gaps in the information where the contributing information was found   Significance: identify the places that have significance, and the criteria used to assess significance, and statement of the significance of the place More information about significance is further discussed in Step 4   Results and recommendations: a succinct summary of the findings what steps are proposed to protect heritage places Having written your report, the last step is to decide how to use it.
