<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The Archaeological Park of Pompeii promotes the most advanced methodologies in preservation, conservation, research, and the promotion of public use of the site. The Great Project Pompeii (GPP), as is evident, has intervened ‘strategically’ on the entire site: on the one hand stabilising the <i>Regiones</i>, on the other hand mitigating the hydrogeological risk of the plateaus and securing the excavation fronts; in addition the GPP has improved accessibility levels. Coping with environmental risks (seismic, volcanic and hydrogeological) is one of the main challenges of the Archaeological Park. First, seismic and volcanic phenomena constitute a major issue in the Pompeii area, embodied by the dormant Mt. Vesuvius. Second, the marked difference in height between the level of the ancient town and that of the unexcavated area, spanning about 22&amp;thinsp;ha, exerts a strong pressure over the ancient structures and may imply a serious danger of landslides in case of hazard events (seismic and volcanic phenomena or heavy rainfall). These dangers seriously jeopardise the protection of ancient structures and wall-paintings, with subsequent risks to the world cultural heritage site. For this reason, an urgent program of conservation, maintenance, and restoration has been undertaken as part of the Great Pompeii Project. The computerisation of archaeological data is among the most current topics of interest for the management of Cultural Heritage. The Information System (GPP-IS), created with the Plan of the Knowledge of the Great Pompeii Project (GPP), has allowed the creation of a unique knowledge tool for the entire city of Pompeii.</p>



Subak Jatiluwih's choice for World Cultural Heritage must be based on the conservation of nature and culture because of traditional social organization. It means that Subak Jatiluwih's choice for World Cultural Heritage has strong support from various stakeholders, as well as the community, government, and UNESCO. Support for preserving Subak Jatiluwih as World Cultural Heritage must remain strong, as the main objective of the World Cultural Heritage site selection is the preservation of the site itself. But the first support for the preservation of Subak Jatiluwih is very strong and then gradually getting weaker. The purpose of this research is to know and understand as well as explain the implications of the ups and downs of the support of stakeholders towards the preservation of the natural environment and local culture in Subak Jatiluwih as WBD, both in the life of the stakeholders and the management of the Subak area as world cultural heritage. The implementation of this research used qualitative research methods and four theories, namely the theory of human ecology, sociocultural theory, theory of deconstruction, and practical theory. The results showed that the ups and downs of support for WBD Subak Jatiluwih implied important things to be criticized. The implications are: (1) the occurrence of top-down policies in proposing Subak Jatiluwih to be WBD and in its management after becoming WBD; (2) there is a process of internationalization or globalization of Subak Jatiluwih to become more famous throughout the world. Keywords: Nature and Culture Conservation, World Cultural Heritage, Subak, Local Ideology, Global Ideology.
