Résumé en anglais
The objective of this manual is to provide a broad overview of heritage management that is useful for a range of heritage places around the world that need integrated approaches to their protection and management. It is based on the premise that a World Heritage property will be a part of a larger heritage place, which can be important for many heritage-related reasons. Managing World Heritage is an ongoing and urgent challenge that requires the ‘heritage place approach’, an integrated method of management that can guide the evolution of properties over time within their wider social, economic and environmental contexts. Special attention has been directed towards aligning and clarifying terminology between different manuals and documents and careful thought given to how key terms may be translated and defined in different languages, to ensure that the content is applicable to diverse realities on the ground.
The manual serves as a resource for capacity-building and awareness-raising about the management of World Heritage properties. It will form the basis of related capacity building activities provided by UNESCO, the Advisory Bodies and the UNESCO Category 2 Centres, and can also be used independently for self-directed learning. It is intended to support implementation of the World Heritage Convention itself, along with the Operational Guidelines.
