Heritage continuity remains a relatively underexplored concept, frequently overshadowed by notions of authenticity and integrity, despite its central role in the transmission and engagement of heritage. Rather than denoting an unbroken succession of objects or practices from the past to the present, continuity can be understood as actively constructed through dynamic interactions between human and material agents. Taking the ger as a focal point, this study examines how continuity is co-constructed by diverse stakeholders in a changing society. Each group contributes distinct values and expertise to shape the multifaceted continuity of ger culture. The study identifies discontinuity, subjective constructiveness, and plurality as the core characteristics of continuity, thereby offering a more flexible and inclusive framework for heritage studies.
