The paper takes intangible cultural heritage (ICH) tourism resources as the background. The inheritors who are at the core of the ICH

stakeholders are selected as objects, and the value cognition of the ICH inheritors is discussed from the perspective of sustainable

development of ICH tourism. By interviewing inheritors and searching for relevant charters, official documents and related references, a scale question bank is constructed. After multiple rounds of purification, and reliability and validity testing, the paper develops a scale of 25 items

and discusses potential applications of the scale.
