Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to suggest an approach to cultural heritage management as an inhabited cultural landscape in a context of urban planning. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides a review of academic literature on the topic of cultural heritage conservation. Findings – This paper supports an approach to management of cultural heritage as a cultural landscape, defining it as a multivalent social phenomenon with tangible and intangible dimensions, spatial, and temporal scales. The cultural landscape approach continues the discourse on heritage values and emphasises the importance of recognition of social value and hence a wider stakeholder participation in the process of heritage management. This approach allows enhancing both intangible and tangible dimensions of cultural heritage and, therefore, encourages a more inclusive consideration of diverse cultural heritage values (encompassing social and environmental categories, e.g. well-being, health). Originality/value – The proposed cultural landscape approach to heritage management, as a culturally significant, inhabited, and changing landscape, enables a more comprehensive view on the interrelations of cultural heritage with other social and environmental categories and enhances the understanding of different values of cultural heritage. This approach could be particularly useful for strategic development at city planning level and in large construction or infrastructural projects.

Environmental conservation and preservation of religio-cultural heritage for tourism development in the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area in the Eastern Region of Ghana have been examined in this paper. The location has a rich blend of dramatic landscape, historic relics and traditional cultures. Five traditional divisions make up the traditional area and have magnificent renewable natural resources including forests, waterfalls, rivers, caves and a rich diversity of wildlife and sanctuaries that could be developed further into a tourism destination site for the benefit of the area, in particular, and the state as a whole. The area has a unique cultural heritage, with the chieftaincy institution remaining as the center piece. The annual festivals of the chiefs and people of the traditional area, especially the Odwira festival, are celebrated annually by the people, and this attracts a considerable number of people including foreign tourists to the area. A complex and interrelated combination of factors threatens the further development and conservation of the environmental and cultural heritage of the area for tourism. These threats arise mainly from anthropogenic factors such as farming, forest logging, and bush fires, but also from the weakening of traditional institutions and limited national governmental support. Population-related pressures on land and other natural resources have affected traditional natural resources management. Fallow periods have been reduced and continuous cropping has become common. The growing demand for land and the presence of migrants have extended agriculture to marginal lands, forest reserves and some sacred sites. A number of recommendations have been made to enhance the preservation of the local cultural heritage and environmental conservation. Capacity building, education and public awareness creation, dialogue among various religious groups, collaborative management of natural resources, training and provision of alternative livelihoods have been suggested as options to conserve environmental and cultural heritage to boost environmental conservation and tourism development in the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Law Number 11/2010 on cultural heritage mandates the importance of the protection, utilization, and maintenance of cultural heritage. However, the challenges of residential development and tourism-based development often threaten cultural heritage sites, both based on the condition of cultural heritage and the historical values therein. Therefore, geospatial-based protection is needed to protect these cultural heritage sites. The protection of cultural heritage is an interesting topic as it relates to the idea of development and cultural context. Disputes between tourism development and cultural site protection often occur due to unclear zoning boundaries and delineation of cultural heritage area protection. One of the temples that experienced tourism development is Plaosan Temple located in Bugisan Village, Prambanan District, Klaten Regency, Central Java. The purpose of this study is to look at the cultural heritage landscape and conservation for preservation and development at Plaosan Temple. Methods: The method used in Cultural Landscape Management and Environmental Protection at Plaosan Temple is a combined method between predictive model and zoning method. The process of cultural landscape management and environmental protection is carried out in a series: mapping Plaosan temple, determination of zones in Plaosan temple, validation of zones with experts, designation of cultural heritage zones. Results: The results of landscape management and environmental protection research are in the form of a predictive map of the Plaosan Temple cultural heritage site model and a map of the Plaosan Temple integrated zone system which aims to preserve and utilize the land around the plaosan temple so that the landscape and environment can be maintained.

Purpose Preservation of historic structures meets ecological criteria of sustainable development. In Mount Lebanon, the traditional house is a cultural asset built of native stone one-meter thick double-wythe walls. Today, lack of public policies is causing those environmental assets to approach extinction. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The methodology uses multivariate regression on 128 data points. A mathematical model is developed and empirically tested on public attitudes toward restoration. Independent variables represent the need for protectionist policies, X1; contribution of restoration to environmental sustainability, X2; contribution to culture, X3; and financial benefits, X4. Findings It is found that stone houses transfer heat significantly slower than modern construction. There is a statistically significant and positive correlation with X1, X2, and X3, but negative with X4, most likely due to favoring return on investment of multistory buildings over the attractiveness of stone houses. Research limitations/implications As future research implications, the undergirding of urban planning policies need to be revisited. Current policies neither protect heritage, nor offer legal means to restore heritage houses. Practical implications Practical implications include revisions to building laws in Mount Lebanon, as they marginalize old stone structures. Environmental valuation techniques, use value and existence value, are recommended. Social implications Social awareness needs to be built about valuation techniques to account for complex assets that cannot be approximated through short-term real estate market price. Social rather than financial cost-benefit analysis must be performed to quantify environmental assets. Originality/value This research illustrates a pilot restoration project with critical issues faced by heritage stone houses. These assets are underrepresented in building laws which warrants social and environmental activism.

With the enactment of ʻthe Basic Law on National Heritageʼ in Korea, The ʻCultural Property Protection Actʼ will be renamed ʻthe Act on the Preservation and Utilization of Cultural Heritageʼ(acronym: the Cultural Heritage Act) from May 17, 2024. The Cultural Heritage Act shall serve as the basic law related to the cultural heritage legislation. The Cultural Heritage Act includes such as contents; the establishment and promotion of the protection of cultural heritage as defined in the Basic Law on National Heritage, the creation of a foundation for cultural heritage protection, and the nationally designated cultural heritage, general movable cultural heritage, and municipal-designated cultural heritage. In the Basic Law on National Heritage, cultural heritage refers only to tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage is separately classified as intangible cultural heritage. But both tangible and intangible cultural heritage should be considered as the subject of the cultural heritage legislation. Korea had a representative comprehensive cultural property protection legal system in the past, but government recently divided the Intangible Cultural Property Act, the Buried Cultural Property Act, and the Cultural Property Repair Act from the previous Cultural Property Protection Act. Furthermore, Matters related to the preservation and management of natural monuments and scenic spots will be stipulated in newly enacted the “Act on the Preservation and Utilization of Natural Heritage” (acronym: Natural Heritage Act). Although the laws was divided from previous Cultural Property Protection Act, the jurisdiction of the Cultural Heritage Administration remains the same. In order for an effective cultural heritage policy to be activated under the changed legal environment, it is necessary to analyze and examine international agreements related to the globalization of cultural heritage and related legal systems of major countries. And these analysis and examination will be contributed to make legislative and policy improvements to the issues that have been problematic domestically. In this regard, this paper aims to draw implications by examining the German cultural heritage legal system which the federal and state cooperate while maintaining a dual system. In Germany, the protection and management of domestic cultural heritage is protected by the State(Land) in the form of monument protection laws, and the federal government operates the cultural property protection law, which aims to prevent cultural property from being lost by controlling the export, import, and distribution of cultural property. I think it will be a great reference for improving legislation for the globalization of cultural heritage in Korea. In particular, the regulations related to the return of cultural properties illegally leaked abroad and the international exchange of cultural properties are worth referring to. Germany's Cultural Property Protection Act as a federal law has detailed regulations that control the export, import, and distribution of cultural properties, so I think it will be a great reference for improving legislation to globalize Korea's cultural heritage. In particular, regulations related to the return of illegally leaked cultural properties overseas, the guarantee of return of international loans, and the international exchange of cultural properties are worth referencing in Korea's legislative improvement.

Full textAbstract:
The historic centre of a town is its oldest and original core. It needs special protection in order to ensure the conservation of its historical, artistic and environmental heritage. In Italy, the definition of historic centres and the protection of their cultural heritage evolved in time, up to the current special attention for the historical aspects. The main threats to historical centres are real estate speculation and mass tourism. The purpose of this study is to catalog and monitor historic centers over time, in the context of urban planning. High-resolution satellite images and geographic information systems (GIS) offer new tools for urban planning and also for cultural heritage themes. “Real time” evaluation of urban structures, cartographic updating, monitoring of the progress of major works, with particular regard to cultural heritage, are made possible by the use of high-resolution images, which facilitate the identification of changes in urban and non-urban areas. The technique of Object Based Image Analysis (OBIA) has been used for image analysis and interpretation. OBIA allows a good interpretation of the scene captured by sensors thanks to classification-based segmentation and extraction of complete objects and their topological relations. This yields to a classification similar to the output of human photo-interpreter, but with a better reproducibility and homogeneity. In this paper we describe, through an application example, the potentiality and the difficulties of this technique and some results. The whole information obtained from segmented and categorized satellite images has been structured in a proper GIS, so that it can be overlaid with other environmental data. Information structuring and special metaheuristic analyses allow to study and monitor historic centers and cultural heritage. This methodology allows to identify the places at risk that need priority restoration; moreover it allows to keep track of changes that occurred over time

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to propose the direction of teaching cultural heritages at the music class in schools following the perspective that cultural heritage education should lead to ‘cultural enjoyment’. In this study, the definition of cultural enjoyment that can be applied in school education is considered as ‘the intellectual, emotional, practical process and its results that an individual actively seeks to understand and experience culture,’ and three attributes of ‘activity, positive sentiment, and participation’ are presented as those of cultural enjoyment.
As a result of analyzing the current status and problems of cultural heritage education in schools, the following problems were identified: ‘curriculum standards centered on research and presentation,’ ‘curriculum standards limited to appreciation and value recognition,’ ‘textbook contents biased towards data presentation and information delivery,’ and ‘inadequate provision of musical experiences for learning cultural heritages.’ To solve such problems and increase the possibility of achieving the goal of 'enjoying culture' in school education, we propose three aspects in cultural heritage education: establishing goals for cultural heritage education that promote the development of 'subjectivity in creating'; setting up a content framework for cultural heritage education centered on 'enjoyment'; and enhancing the ability to enjoy culture based on participatory cultural heritage learning.
The significance of this study is to raise the need for cultural heritage education in schools to move in the direction of enhancing learners' ability to enjoy culture, and to discuss the direction for this. To solve the problems raised in this study, it is important to achieve social consensus on cultural heritage, revise national education curricula, develop music textbooks, and cooperate with institutions related to cultural heritage education

Full textAbstract:
This discussion highlights the vital role anthropologists have played in negotiating issues of heritage management in the recent Inter- American Court of Human Rights' (IACHR) decision regarding the rights of Saramaka Maroons to ancestral land that was destroyed without the acknowledgement, authority or agreement of Saramaka peoples. The Saramaka, a tribal group living in Suriname, accused the Surinamese government of allowing multi-national logging enterprises to harvest timber from traditional Saramaka territory. In addition to this violation of human rights, the government did not provide a plan following the destruction of Saramaka collective property. In response, the Association of Saramaka Authorities submitted a petition to the Inter-American Commission claiming the government of Suriname did not consider the socio-cultural character, and the subsistence and spiritual relationship the Saramaka have with their environmental heritage. The IACHR judgment1 arms the Saramaka with the legal underpinning to enact a heritage management strategy to safeguard their physical and cultural survival.

Snyder (2019) and based on a study that was a collection, analysis and comparison of relevant publications in the field of UNESCO cultural heritage studies over the past five years by quantitative methods in the Web of Science and Scopus repositories. The scientometric analysis made by means of the VOSviewer_1.6.16_ exe CitNetExplorer_1.0.0_exe programs made it possible to distinguish the most relevant and cited articles in a vast array of publications the most relevant and cited articles, verified by the scientific community, focused the attention of scientists on semantic “nodes”, that is, values that guide social practices. The undertaken study shows that the concepts of UNESCO heritage, and identity in connection with heritage, are not limited to the traditional framework of ethnos and governance, but include a wide range of social, natural and personal conditions, the study of which is of great theoretical and practical significance. The study of the actors involved, including natural and technical non-humans, makes it possible to take more effective conservation policies in the context of natural and environmental changes, world heritage management policies, identity policies in relation to place and heritage, reduce the distance between the “managers” of heritage and those for whom it is being managed, residents close to the heritage, civil society representatives who identify with the groups re-gathering around the heritage.

AbstractAn ethic of environmental stewardship can find valuable support in the world's existing cultural and spiritual traditions. This paper emphasises the Vedic heritage for eco-care, citing as examples numerous passages from Hindu sacred writings, including the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. These scriptures demonstrate an early understanding of the need to temper our material appetites, and most importantly, to treat the earth with care and respect.

Background and objective: Recent research has highlighted the need for urban heritage conservation due to rapid urbanisation, especially in Asian cities; however, few studies have investigated the socioeconomic impacts of heritage assets in urban contexts. This study examined urban heritage sites in Seoul Metropolitan City from the perspective of residents' environmental satisfaction and housing prices.Methods: A spatial regression model was developed to examine the associations between urban heritage sites and their corresponding protected areas as the independent variables (nationally assigned cultural heritage, city-assigned cultural heritage, nationally registered cultural heritage, nationally assigned cultural heritage protected area, and city-assigned cultural heritage protected area) and residential environmental satisfaction and housing prices as the dependent variables. The model investigated how urban heritage sites influence housing prices through the mediating effect of residential environmental satisfaction.Results: The results confirmed the impact of urban heritage sites on housing prices and the mediating effect of residential environmental satisfaction. Moreover, depending on their urban heritage classifications, noticeable differences were evident in the impact of urban heritage sites.Conclusion: These findings provide an intellectual foundation for public policies, offering insights into how they might achieve an optimum balance between private and public interests in matters of heritage conservation.

Investment and construction projects to reduce the environmental impact on cultural heritage sites are important, especially in connection with the implementation of the National Project to enhance domestic tourism in Russia. On one hand, there has been significant progress in developing regulatory and technical documentation for cultural heritage sites and their conservation. However, on the other hand, there is an issue with outdated cost estimation methods and normative frameworks for determining the costs, as well. Hence, the role of environmental impact on the cultural heritage sites is underestimated. This problem leads to the need to develop scientific and methodological tools for the implementation of projects for the reconstruction of the cultural heritage sites considering the reduction of the impact of harsh environmental conditions. The authors proposed a logical research design, developed and improved methodological tools for selecting projects for the conservation of cultural heritage sites and assessing the impact of local environment, and tested the proposed methodological tools using the example of a project for the reconstruction of a cultural heritage site in the Moscow region. The authors proposed methods and approaches to reduce the environmental impact on the local cultural heritage sites for better conservation of cultural heritage sites. Within a framework of Russian Federation in total, further study is considered.

Locations, where cultural heritage is located are potential drivers of urban development due to their importance in the urban space and social community. These buildings worldwide influence cities' economic, sociological and urban development. Such a case can be seen in the town square in Brcko. This square is the subject of analysis to examine cultural heritage's influence on urban development. The paper examines the importance of cultural heritage buildings in urban development by analyzing planning documents based on which cultural heritage mapping was done. After that, the quality of the town square in the Brcko area was determined with the help of specific quality criteria. The results indicated the role of cultural heritage buildings in driving urban development. Based on the results, guidelines and recommendations were given for adequate inclusion of cultural heritage in urban development.

Green cultural heritage is an important form of natural space in cities. Only a few studies have conducted restorative studies in a historical environment as most have focused on natural environments. Moreover, few studies on cultural ecosystem services (CESs) have addressed cultural heritage. Based on an onsite questionnaire distributed to green cultural heritage users (N = 64) in Hamarikyu Garden, this paper explores the value of CESs in a green cultural heritage site and the relationship between cultural ecosystem values and perceived attention restoration/stress reduction. A multiple linear regression analysis and simple linear regression analyses were used to examine the data. The results showed that (1) the cultural ecosystem values of the green cultural heritage site were all rated highly except for the sense of place; (2) spending time in green cultural heritage provided respondents significant perceived attention restoration and stress reduction; (3) aesthetics and cultural heritage significantly affected perceived stress reduction, while attention restoration showed a significant positive correlation with aesthetic value and sense of place; and (4) the more visitors perceived the value of CESs, the more significant the perceived stress reduction and attention recovery were. This study indicates that CESs represent a useful tool for measuring the environmental characteristics of green cultural heritage sites and can predict perceived psychological recovery in green cultural heritage sites. Our findings enhance our knowledge about restorative environmental attributes through objective descriptions of potential health-promoting qualities and can be utilized as inspiration for designing restorative environments in green cultural heritage sites.

AbstractIn contemporary Mongolia—a country with 29 years’ history of international development policy—the conventional interpretation regarding the oppression of and liberation from the Soviet regime is no longer valid for understanding its politics of cultural heritage. Today, development projects and associated environmental, social and cultural assessments play a central role in safeguarding cultural heritage. Therefore, alternative interpretations are necessary to comprehend current and further processes of cultural heritage politics. This paper introduces two case studies of new cultural heritage politics involving Mongolia’s two ‘megaprojects’: Oyu Tolgoi gold and copper mining, and River Eg hydroelectric station.

Full textAbstract:
The disappearance of intangible cultural heritages (ICHs) together with associated symbols and meanings in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) undermines 2003 UN Convention for Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. To contribute to reversing this trend, the present study estimates the economic value of preserving traditional kente weaving and interpretation of kente symbols by establishing national demonstration centers in Ghana. Contingent valuation (CV) surveys of both the public and kente weavers are used to elicit their preferences for these national centers. As CV surveys of cultural heritage have often been criticized for lacking both policy and payment consequentiality, we have used a specific preservation measure and a non-voluntary payment vehicle to make the decision context realistic and consequential. Households show significant, positive mean willingness-to-pay (WTP) for establishing national centers to preserve both the kente weaving technique and the interpretation of kente symbols. Furthermore, we find no distance decay in WTP for preservation of this ICH; indicating that people have strong preferences for preserving this ICH independent of how far they live from the center of kente weaving activities. This leads to larger aggregated benefits of preservation compared to built cultural heritage and local environmental goods, for example, where strong distance decay occurs in many cases. This makes the net present value of centers for demonstration of kente weaving and interpretation of kente symbols positive and an economically worthwhile investment. The policy implication of these results is that higher investments in preserving ICHs can be justified not only from a cultural heritage perspective, but also from an economic point of view.

The evolution of law follows the evolution of society and the socio-economic relations that generate legal relations. Lately, environmental crimes among which we mention: pollution, contamination with dangerous chemical substances of abiotic environmental factors; wildlife poaching; deforestation in violation of the forestry regime, etc., are frequent, entering a spectrum of everyday normality. At the same time, the poaching of cultural heritage is a new element that has come under the focus of criminal investigation bodies, although the trade in artefacts and priceless heritage values has been consumed for a long time. The Romanian authorities and legal specialists easily pass over existing cases affecting the environment and cultural heritage, as these important paradigms for humanity are not active subjects of law. The correction of some characters whose aim is to enrich themselves through the destruction of abiotic environmental factors and the sale of cultural heritage objects, can only be done in an organized and focused way, including through the development of a criminal code of the environment and cultural and natural heritage. The code will have to capture the existence of crimes in relation to the action or inaction of individuals and in relation to the legal ethical principles of the environment and heritage accepted by the international community, which gives more and more importance to this segment, which is imposed in constitutional law of the signatory countries of international conventions. Our material launches some ideas and puts into scientific debate the possibility of creating a unitary legal framework to prevent the destruction of elements of cultural and natural heritage and to protect the environment.

Full textAbstract:
With the process of urbanization and post-industrialization, the diversity of regions and their unique cultures have become cultural properties for the competitiveness of cities. The concept of cultural heritage and resources has expanded in recent years. In the past, they were confined to architectural and artistic artifacts, but now, cultural heritage and resources have evolved to include environmental elements, industrial and vernacular construction, urban and rural settlements, and intangible elements related to community activities and ways of life. The community is the carrier of cultural resources and heritage. Cultural heritage sites contribute to the creation of a community’s identity. This multi-layered discussion of community engagements in cultural heritages and resources provides a unique approach to understanding cultural properties as sustainability enablers. This paper intends to go beyond the theoretical assumptions of the role of community cultural resources by studying the target research group, Bukjeong village in Seoul, Korea. The paper focuses on the possibilities of community engagement for sustainable development for urban regeneration. It proposes that cultural sustainability in its broader definition should be derived from the community realities of a particular place or cultural context. This approach must be grounded in the principles of regional networks, urban governance, and community-based activities.

Full textAbstract:
The Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (hereafter known as the Convention) was adopted within the framework of UNESCO in October 2003. Article 2 of the Convention establishes that intangible cultural heritage (ICH) must be compatible with sustainable development. Sustainable development in relation to culture consists of three intertwined dimensions: society, environment, and economy. Chapter 6 of the Operational Directives for the Implementation of this Convention establishes a framework related to “environmental sustainability”. The framework consists of three pillars. The first pillar relates to “environmental impacts in the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage”. The second pillar relates to “knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe”. The final pillar concerns “community-based resilience to natural disasters and climate change”. Through analysis of the Convention, the Convention’s Operational Directives and elements of intangible cultural heritage inscribed on the Representative List of the Convention, this article will provide case studies where, in line with these pillars, intellectual property rights, particularly geographical indications, aim to support environmentally friendly practices. In so doing, this article will also seek to show that intellectual property rights can recognise communities as bearers of knowledge about nature and as essential actors in sustaining the environment. Indeed, this work will suggest that although intellectual property rights, if not carefully drafted, can pose risks for environmental sustainability, when correctly adopted they have the capacity to empower communities. Thus, the aim of this work is to show how intellectual property rights can be tools to facilitate safeguarding and sustainability for both intangible cultural heritage and the environment.

Abstract From the 1980s onward, Candomblé leaders successfully adapted cultural heritage laws to protect historic temples and gain select rights in the construction of a Brazilian democracy. State technicians and anthropologists in dialogue with religious leaders defined African territoriality in Brazilian cultural heritage policies through sometimes conflicting principles of race, gender, and history. Black priestesses were fundamental to this process, leading their communities toward greater public respect, representation, and protection through political negotiation. This article argues that the adaptation of cultural heritage status to historic temples defined Black women’s leadership as a central feature of African heritage in Brazil, while leaving the widespread issues of land insecurity and religious and environmental racism unexamined in the implementation of democratic policies. The Candomblé religion depends on healthy and sustainable material relationships to the land and community. Religious racism, land speculation, economic precarity, and environmental destruction continue to marginalize Candomblé temples and their leaders in Brazil despite nominal celebration by the state.

Full textAbstract:
Mahikeng, the seat of the Ngaka Modiri Molema District and capital of South Africa’s North West province, has identified tourism as an economic driver based on cultural heritage related to Batswana, Boer, and British contestation. However, the colonial heritage is underutilised as visitors come to Mahikeng (formerly Mafeking) in search of experiences relating to the siege of Mafeking, the Anglo–Boer War, and the origins of the Boy Scouts movement but leave disappointed. This heritage has been downgraded in democratic post-apartheid South Africa as there is an agenda that seeks to highlight African cultural heritage, particularly relating to the anti-apartheid struggle. This formerly suppressed cultural heritage needs to be promoted as it is crucial to South Africa’s history, identity, and social cohesion. However, other heritages that are also important are falling by the wayside with the result that the country’s diversity as the ‘rainbow nation’ is being eroded, and heritage tourism opportunities, which could prompt Local Economic Development (LED), are missed. A more critical engagement with the colonial heritage by including African perspectives, critiques, interactions, and roles within the narrative is needed.

Abstract. Traditional cultural heritage (TCH) can be defined as diverse type of intangible and tangible heritage related to our ancestors in the ancient time such as cultures, beliefs, practices, ceremonies, indigenous knowledge etc. etc. Novel methods are being used to preserve the dying traditional knowledge in the field of medicine, agriculture, arts and sciences. Moreover, this can be treated as a part of the community and it belongs to the community. Furthermore, it is used in an informal way and practiced as a living heritage. Most of the time TCH has been transmitted orally from one person to another person or to a group of persons. This uniqueness helps to build cultural identity of TCH without undermining its cultural value. Thus, it is important to digitally preserve traditional cultural heritage with the help of novel technologies for the benefit of the present and future generations. With the emergence of new information technologies libraries, archives, museums and information centers have taken action to digitally preserve such priceless intangible and tangible heritage by way of collecting, organizing, managing and providing access to present and future generations as these heritages are at high risk. However, digital preservation is challenging task as it needs funds, trained staff, and the technology. Further, in this electronic era. there are various types of technologies that support for preservation of TCH.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural heritage often mirrors the evolution of the social and economic dynamics of territories. In Taranto, a city in Apulia in southern Italy, cultural heritage represents the synthesis of the profound environmental and economic crisis that has characterised the city over the last century. Its loss is the order of the day following repeated collapses and static instability. Probably, this is the result of the strong conditioning that large industrial groups and military institutions have been exercising over the city’s environment and economy since the end of the 19th century. This paper focuses on the analysis of aspects related to the management and enhancement of the cultural heritage in the area, in the broader scenario of territorial heritage management. Using the DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) spiral logic scheme, the aim of the research is to highlight causal links between the impoverishment of Taranto’s cultural heritage and the management and socio-economic drivers present there. In this perspective, the study aims to contribute to the implementation of the scientific literature on the topic of the application of the spiral DPSIR model to the theme of built cultural heritage and not only to the management of the naturalistic factors of the territories. Furthermore, it aims to stimulate policy makers to initiate specific analyses of the risks threatening cultural heritage in order to implement protective measures before irreversible damage occurs. The results of the analysis promote the need for a subversion of the area’s development dynamics with a view to a ‘culture of sustainability’.

Biodiversity conservation is critical in the face of increasing environmental degradation, and alongside scientific approaches, traditional cultural practices offer profound strategies for safeguarding ecosystems. This article explores the symbiotic relationship between cultural heritage and biodiversity protection, focusing on how indigenous knowledge and cultural traditions, such as sacred groves, sustainable agriculture, and community-driven conservation, contribute to preserving nature. Case studies from India, including the sacred groves of the Western Ghats, the Bishnoi community's protection of wildlife, and the Apatani tribe's sustainable farming, exemplify how deeply-rooted cultural practices can promote biodiversity conservation. These examples highlight that by preserving cultural heritage, we also protect biodiversity, offering a more inclusive, sustainable approach to environmental stewardship. The article emphasizes the need to integrate traditional knowledge with modern conservation efforts to create resilient ecosystems and maintain cultural identity.

The Pennsylvania Heritage Parks Program was introduced in 1989 to promote tourism and economic revitalization through the conservation and interpretation of a region's industrial heritage. The program emphasizes a multiphase planning process to develop conservation strategies for a region's historic, cultural, recreational, and environmental resources. "Heritage parks" require and initiate a shift in symbolic meaning. They transform areas of industrial decline into "cradles of American industrial heritage" with tourism potential and a revitalized community spirit, both of which can attract new investment. Ethnographic perspectives have played a key role in the Heritage Parks Program planning process, and they have been structured into the program guidelines. Now, as the program enters its third year, there is a need for anthropologists and folklorists to participate as members of contracted consultant teams.

Underwater cultural heritage (UCH) is an irreplaceable resource with intrinsic value that requires preservation, documentation, and safeguarding. Documentation is fundamental to increasing UCH resilience, providing a basis for monitoring, conservation, and management. Advanced UCH documentation and virtualization technologies are increasingly important for dissemination and visualization purposes, domain expert study, replica reproduction, degradation monitoring, and all other outcomes after a metric survey of cultural heritage (CH). Among the different metric documentation techniques, underwater photogrammetry is the most widely used for UCH documentation. It is a non-destructive and relatively inexpensive method that can produce high-resolution 3D models and 2D orthomosaics of underwater sites and artifacts. However, underwater photogrammetry is challenged by the different optical properties of water, light penetration, visibility and suspension, radiometric issues, and environmental drawbacks that make underwater documentation difficult. This paper introduces some of the recent applications of photogrammetric techniques and methods for UCH documentation, as well as the needs and shortcomings of the current state of the art.

Full textAbstract:
Svalbard’s cultural heritage sites are important remnants of an international history in the High North. Cultural heritage in the Arctic is being impacted by climate and environmental change as well as increased human activity. Tourism is a potential cause of transformation in cultural heritage sites, such as increased wear and tear, creation of paths and traces as people walk through cultural environments. Cultural heritage management is therefore an increasingly challenging endeavor as management authorities must take under consideration multiple impacts and threats to cultural heritage sites in a changing environment. Based on research conducted in Svalbard from 2014 to 2016 on methods for long-term systematic cultural heritage monitoring, this paper will discuss dilemmas for a sustainable use and management of vulnerable cultural heritage sites in the Arctic.

Investigating the role of cultural heritage in the development of sustainable urban agriculture in Bandung, focusing on how heritage knowledge and practices can be integrated in efforts to improve food security and environmental sustainability in the city. The methodology used is a literature review to explore the complex relationship between cultural heritage and sustainable urban agriculture in Bandung. The results of this exploration indicate that the fusion of cultural heritage and sustainable urban agriculture in Bandung offers numerous advantages, including economic growth, food security, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation. However, challenges related to urbanization, changing consumer preferences, infrastructure, and climate change need to be addressed to realize the full potential of this approach. The implication of this approach is the development of a resilient and sustainable urban agriculture system in Bandung. By preserving and promoting cultural heritage, the city can enhance food security, stimulate economic growth, and safeguard its unique cultural heritage for future generations. The novelty of this article lies in its comprehensive integration of cultural heritage with modern sustainable agriculture practices to address contemporary urban challenges. It emphasizes the importance of harnessing the wisdom of the past to cultivate a sustainable future for Bandung.

Abstract The extraordinary developments and massive urban growth that have plasmid many Gulf countries due to the massive oil exportation have raised many questions regarding the directions of change for many new global cities in the Middle East Regions post-oil era. Discussing the consequences of rapid urbanization and ongoing developments, which have led to a general loss of identity in the Gulf regions, there is a robust ongoing dispute that confronts the desire to build new contemporary cities and the instinctive social need to preserve and re-qualify historical heritage as a precious tool for establishing new relationships with local history and culture. The paper describes, classifies, and compares some exemplary projects for preserving historical heritage in the Gulf countries, with particular attention to the Saudi Arabia heritage. The interventions were analyzed and compared, considering the sustainable aspects linked to the local heritage's environmental, socio-economic, and socio-cultural principles. As a cultural, social, and environmental value, sustainability is one of the most distinctive principles that should be applied to the entire heritage restoration and conservation process, promoting its enhancement, especially in the post-oil era. The results highlight many links between the conservation of ancient natural materials of the historical heritage, the promotion of cultural and social values, the adaptation techniques to the climate, the synergy with the existing historic buildings environment, enhancing the high level of sustainability and environmental respect for local culture and traditional construction techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural heritage use is often a point of friction between antagonistic groups in intrastate conflict. In other instances, use of heritage may facilitate intergroup contact and provide space for conflict transformation. The Cyprus issue is not an exception to this phenomenon. Although Cyprus is one of the most researched frozen conflict cases, cultural heritage use vis-à-vis conflict transformation is relatively understudied focusing primarily on tangible heritage protection, restoration and museology. This brief examines the degree of influence (be it positive or negative) of cultural heritage activity on conflict transformation between the two Cypriot communities. In specific, it examines bicommunal heritage projects, use of in-group and out-group heritage and, visits to own heritage sites on the other side of the divide. Results show that bicommunal heritage projects foster contact and cooperation, use of tangible heritage becomes the ground for antagonism over neglect and care of in-group and out-group sites, and visits to heritage on the other side provoke questions over use and reuse of neglected heritage of the other. In total, this brief demonstrates that often heritage issues are exploited in order to back ethnocentric positions. Both sides use own, neglected, damaged or lost heritage to support arguments of in-group superiority. Contrarily, the Cypriot communities do not consider intergroup cultural differences a deterring factor to transformation. The dynamic potentials of heritage can be utilised towards conflict transformation through bicommunal heritage activities, ventures attributing local ownership and joint management, and critical notions of heritage that favour intangibility and hybridity.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The socio-cultural space of Transbaikalia is represented by a wide ethno-cultural diversity, which was formed historically under the influence of various factors. Subsequently, each of the cultures that appeared in Transbaikalia contributed to the cultural space of the region. However, today there is a change in the importance of traditional cultures, new values appear that are more in demand in modern conditions, hence the loss of traditional culture, the disappearance of cultural heritage. The issue of preservation and transmission of traditional culture is becoming urgent.
In the context of the analysis of cultural heritage, the concepts of M. Halbvaks, E. Hobsbaum, P. Nor, G. Peckham, Lisitsky A.V., Mamaeva O.B., Kuchmaeva V.A., Kopsergenova A.A. are studied. Old Believers in Transbaikalia were studied by Bolonev F.F., Gavrilova E.A. et al.
Materials and methods. The appeal to theoretical concepts in the field of cultural heritage shows the close interconnectedness of cultural heritage and memory. The concepts of M. Halbwax, E. Hobsbawm, P. Nor, G. Peckham, Lisitsky A.V., Mamaeva O.B., Kuchmaeva V.A., Kopsergenova A.A. fix the interdependence of cultural heritage and cultural memory. The work uses general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison.
Results and conclusions. Cultural heritage, while remaining “alive”, allows it to be reproduced and remains relevant in modern times, however, the transformation of heritage into memory leads to its restoration, the invention of tradition, consolidation in places of memory, restoration due to demand in the field of economics and tourism. Within the framework of state projects, tourist requests, there is a revival of this tradition in folklore, material elements, but the question remains open about the revival of the spiritual tradition of the Old Believers.

The article represents the authors’ approach to the formation of environmental responsibility of students based on integral dialogue technology meeting the general trend to humanization of educational process and the raising importance of environmental awareness. The article reveals the integral potential of cultural heritage, materializing the ideas of cocreation between man and nature, and national values and traditions of the peoples of the country. The authors define the theoretical and methodological basis for the development of an integraldialogue technology for educating environmental responsibility, and reveal the substantive aspect of technology that is associated with the use of historical and cultural heritage. The essence and procedural features of integral-dialogue technology, which provides for the consistent implementation of cultural-ecological situations-immersions in the historical and cultural heritage, are considered. The sequence of such situations is built taking into account the stages of formation of environmental responsibility and includes three stages: (1) focusing on the whole: meeting; (2) focusing on the part: dialogue; (3) focusing on the whole: acting responsibly1. These stages provide a systematic consideration of the historical and cultural heritage through the categorical matrix of the whole and the part, as well as a holistic impact on all spheres of the individual’s consciousness in the process of educating environmental responsibility.

Full textAbstract:
The sambaquis, Brazilian archeological and cultural heritage, are constructions where traces of prehistoric daily habits such as utensils, zoolites, food remains, tools, adornments, including burials, can be found. Through archeological analyzes, the continuous presence of ancient peoples was recognized in a sedentary way, as they located close to water slides – sources of food – and above the level of the sea of the full tide, acting as a landmark in the landscape. In Laguna-SC, the sambaquis are subject to disorderly urban expansion and all kinds of exploitation. This work supports the proposal of the implementation of an Interpretation Center (IC) to preserve the sambaquis in the region of the Santa Marta Lighthouse, in Laguna-SC, emphasizing the importance in the context of the landscape and highlighting the conflicts as regards municipal, state and federal legislation. The methodology is based on the bibliographic review referring to the characteristics of the sambaquis, their distribution in the region of Paleolaguna and the need for their preservation as a world cultural heritage, as well as the study of the legislation in the three spheres. The district of the Santa Marta Lighthouse, the proposed location for the implementation of the Interpretation Center, is distant 19 km from the city center, separated by dunes, lakes and mangrove swamps, lacking in sanitation equipment, health, education and culture and where most of the Sambaquis are concentrated. The cross-fertilization between environmental and land legislation and cultural heritage protection practices show conflicts in the management of the sambaquis that make up the local landscape. The management plan of the Environmental Protection Area Whale Franca (APABF – ICMBio), the Municipal Master Plan of Laguna and the National and State Coastal Management Plans, diverge on the characteristics of the areas where this archeological heritage exists, transforming the sambaquis into objects of difficult management. It is through the analysis of the legislation that this article identifies the difficulty of the legislators in understanding the importance of the archeological heritage and, in this way, justifies the implantation of an Interpretation Center in the Lighthouse of Santa Marta as equipment for raising awareness and preserving the local archeological heritage. It concludes with design guidelines for the implementation of the Interpretation Center in the batches defined as A and B considering the accesses and potential visualization of the natural and anthropic landscape.

Finally, the article refers to the World Heritage of the Wilderness Wetlands. The article contributes to clarifying the absence of an independent legal framework for the protection of cultural heritage in wetlands. The Study concluded that international agreements do not establish explicit international obligations on states. Hence the need for an international convention dedicated to the protection of cultural heritage in wetlands. The study also concluded that there is no judicial mechanism to limit the deterioration of cultural heritage in wetlands.

Full textAbstract:
This article sets out an original and exploratory framework for examining emerging concepts of cultural mobilities and heritage with a key focus on the infrastructure and spatialities of cultural mobilities in, of and through Asia—specifically China. To date, the scholarly analysis of mobilities has been dominated by the social sciences in relation to central themes of migration, national borders, crisis and transnational flows of objects and people. This paper seeks to expand the focus in mobilities discourses to humanities, not only to research how infrastructures and spatialities are shaped by culture and heritage but also to analyse cultural mobility through infrastructure and spatialities. We set out epistemic considerations for approaching cultural mobilities through an interdisciplinary lens that seeks to address heritage studies of diverse kinds, from environmental to religious to architectural. By centring Asian epistemes, the paper also challenges recognition and interpretation biases in the humanities and social sciences that continue to privilege Eurocentric hegemonies. Together, the co-authors examine: how Asian cultures operate through material and non-material infrastructures that defy singular location in geopolitical crossings and networks; how culture is mobilised in different ways through infrastructure; the entanglement of cultural heritage with political infrastructure and living practice as well as embedded values. The article discusses China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), yoga as a cultural infrastructure between India and China, and the infrastructure and multiple spatialities of Chinatown as a evolving practice of cultural heritage.
