Study of the Reconstruction of a Historical Circuit: The Case of the Wangermee Circuit
Abstract: The study on the Wangermee circuit in Lubumbashi highlights the current condition of historical sites, marked by degradation and abandonment, despite their cultural and industrial value. The Kafubu post, the etoile Mine, and the Gecamines plants represent a heritage that is at once historical, industrial, and urban, offering opportunities for reconstruction and tourism development. Historical reconstruction, supported by documentation and direct observation, helps preserve collective memory and create immersive experiences for visitors. The circuit can be structured as an integrated tourism product, combining guided tours, cultural mediation, and site interpretation. This approach contributes to the development of cultural tourism, the creation of local jobs, and the economic revitalization of the region. The study emphasizes the need to balance authenticity, safety, and accessibility to maximize attractiveness. It also highlights the importance of coherent itinerary planning and appropriate communication strategies. Finally, the research provides a methodological foundation for the future valorization of historical sites in Lubumbashi and the Haut-Katanga region.
