This chapter provides a broad, cross-cultural, and comparative discussion about the ways in which ‘westernized’ approaches to cultural heritage management (CHM) in Egypt have largely failed to live up to their expectations. The chapter reviews the processes of CHM funding and discusses the ways in which application procedures, and entrenched systems of allocating funds, marginalize those that they are seeking to empower. Within this context, it looks at the successes and failures of establishing community-based heritage strategies in Egypt and argues for a much more imaginative, ‘bottom up’ approach that diminishes the role of ‘top down’ bureaucracy and therefore the need for large amounts of international funding. Through two case studies in the Wadi Hammamat and Aswan, which focus on non-monumental landscapes, the chapter demonstrates the ways in which pragmatic, low-key, locally based strategies of engagement can work through dialogues that can harness the multi-vocality of people’s connection with place. It also addresses the need for a change in focus towards steering protection and promotion of archaeological heritage, and ultimately its sustainability, towards the more local and regional Egyptian tourist market.

Modes Of Interaction

Arguments for a joint natural and cultural heritage management practice follow a welltrodden path by now - we know what has to be done -, but not so much how to do it. The purpose of this article is to look at practical modes of interaction. What has been suggested so far? Although much has been gained through awareness-raising, the creation of common ground through comparing concepts, and integration within the planning processes, new practice seems to get stuck somewhere down the line. Difficulties relate to traditional thought-collectives, but also to power structures. In this article, I conclude that suggested actions are structured top-down and I propose four bottom-up strategies professionals in the workplace may want to consider to bridge the divide between both domains. As practice in heritage management systems is formed through the dynamic of processes (procedures, protocols, methods), organizations (management commitment, staffing, work routines) and professionals (skills and knowledge), modes of interaction should be focused on these pillars in the system. Bottom-up tactics may help decide professionals working within heritage management to engage in cross-overs. These range from full to partial integration, depending on the context of the task at hand.

Cultural Heritage Objects

The purpose of the thesis is to analyze the main geodetic databases of Lithuania and to create a geodetic database of cultural heritage objects in Klaipėda using program ArcGIS 9.3. The problem is that the geodetic database storing graphical and attributive information about cultural heritage in Klaipeda city has not been created yet. Thus, in order to incorporate GIS technologies into the management of cultural heritage, starting the creation of such a database seems to be a relevant point. The fully completed and regularly updated geodetic database can be used for cultural heritage management, planning, design, road construction, etc. Therefore, the following objectives have been set: 1) describing geo-data collection and input devices; 2) stimulating the geodetic database that introduces information about buildings, building complexes, cemeteries, locations of archaeological and cultural heritage; 3) giving a detailed description of the database creation process; 4) analyzing the need for establishing a geodetic database of cultural heritage objects in Klaipėda. Santrauka Lietuvoje GIS pagrindu sukurta daug įvairiems tikslams skirtų georeferencinių bei teminių erdvinių duomenų rinkinių. Viena iš šių rinkinių panaudojimo sričių – valstybės registruose esančių duomenų kaupimas. Tokiu principu yra sukurta Kultūros vertybių registro duomenų bazė, kurios pagrindiniai duomenys buvo panaudoti kuriant Klaipėdos miesto kultūros paveldo objektų erdvinių duomenų rinkinį. Siekiant kuo operatyviau įtraukti GIS technologijas į kultūros paveldo objektų tvarkybą, aktualu Klaipėdoje pradėti kurti kultūros paveldo objektų erdvinių duomenų rinkinį. Nuolat atnaujinamas erdvinių duomenų rinkinys palengvins įvairių sričių specialistų atliekamus kultūros paveldo objektų administravimo, teritorijų planavimo, projektavimo, kelių tiesimo ir kitus darbus. Резюме В Литве на основе ГИС для различных целей создано множество гео-ссылок, а также тематических наборов пространственных данных. Область использования одного из множеств – сбор данных, имеющихся в государственном учете. По такому принципу создана регистрационная база культурных ценностей, основные данные которой были использованы при создании набора пространственных данных объектов культурного наследия города Клайпеды. С целью оперативно обеспечить управление объектами культурного наследия технологиями ГИС следует начать создание набора пространственных данных объектов культурного наследия в Клайпеде. Полностью заполненный и постоянно обновляемый набор пространственных данных облегчит работу специалистов в различных областях: администрировании объектов культурного наследия, планировании территорий, проектировании, строительстве дорог и других.
