Résumé en anglais
The World-Heritage citation for Angkorcelebrates its artistic and technical achievement as testament
to a "past" civilization; yet contemporary Cambodians seeAngkor as a continuing, integral part of their culture.
Recent work by the Cambodian APSARA Authority,Sydney University and other partners recognises Angkor as
home to hundreds of thousands of Khmer, who throughcultural and religious practices, are part of the spirit of the
place.The Living With Heritage project is using a
consultative, participatory approach to identify heritagevalues and the threats to them in the Angkor region. The
traditional role of the 'expert' has thereby evolved to includestakeholder consultation and facilitation.
Through close collaboration with key stakeholders andan inclusive participatory approach, the Living With
Heritage project is endeavouring to build capacity forCambodian heritage managers to address the inter-related
nature of tangible and intangible values of the Angkorcultural landscape through values-based management.
