This writing relates the professional and academic experience that was carried out in the field of Cultural, Natural, Material and Intangible Heritage, within the framework of updating the Development Plan of the Puebla- Tlaxcala Metropolitan Area. The part that is presented here is related to Natural Heritage. Although, heritage had already been considered in past plans and programs, on this occasion, the heritage is ordered, typified and categorized, using institutional planning instruments, the legal framework, even, only with official data. The topic adopts the official methodology that, through the demands and the terms of reference, the institutions formalize the contracted areas. Consequently, they ensure that research responds to institutionalized vision and mission. However, the official rigidity, the research group opened ways to approach the research from the four areas proposed by Querol (2000), in the cultural heritage management: knowing, controlling, planning and disseminating. Knowing and disseminating worked with lobbyists, those in charge of culture, tourism, as well as those responsible for religious buildings and archaeological sites. At the same time, control and plan were produced from the collective, sessioning as a seminar and workshop, this resulted in multidisciplinary learning that resulted in an updated interdisciplinary plan.

Approximately 90% of Mexican archaeological sites are on communal ejido lands and yet the Mexican Constitution stipulates that all cultural heritage is the property of the federal government. Considering this disconnect between federal and local practices, how can archaeologists work with ejido communities to help preserve cultural patrimony? This article explores the micropolitics associated with archaeological fieldwork on communal ejido lands in Western Mexico. We show how long-standing practices based on local histories, community political theater, and interpersonal relations shape fieldwork and cultural conservation initiatives in important and unintended ways. In our study near the site of Angamuco, Michoacán, we draw upon ethnographic and archival research and outreach projects over five field seasons, and address the tensions that emerge when informal micropolitical and formal top–down sociopolitical practices interface. We show how aspects of a policy science approach are appropriate for long-term community-supported archaeology and cultural heritage management.

AbstractKnown in English as Mount Taylor, Dewankwin Kyaba:chu Yalanne (“in the east snow-capped mountain”) in northwestern New Mexico is a sacred landscape to the Zuni people. From an archaeological perspective, the mountain is dotted with hundreds of discrete archaeological sites that record 12,000 years of history. From a Zuni perspective, Mount Taylor is a rich cultural landscape—a tangible record of ancestral migrations, a living being, a pilgrimage site, a referent in religious prayers, a spiritual source of rain, and a collecting place for spring water, animals, minerals, and plants. For Zunis, all of these facets of the mountain combine to create a “total landscape” that is both a source and an instrument of Zuni culture. This article presents a case study of a compliance project to document the potential impacts of a proposed uranium mine at the base of Mount Taylor on Zuni traditional cultural properties. The project demonstrates how archaeologists can benefit from a landscape perspective that builds from the traditional knowledge of descendant communities. The Zuni standpoint further helps shape a CRM practice that is anthropologically informed and consistent with a developing federal mandate to use landscape-scale analysis in heritage management and mitigation practices.

Management Issues

Community has been much of a striking terminology these days when associated with heritage management. Communities living nearby heritage sites, while at one hand are agents of conservation, on the other hand are sources of destruction in heritage sites and agents of risks. As such, this research unfolds the contested roles of local people for taking ownership of heritage management, understanding heritages, transmitting oral intangible values and valuing destination image at Kichakbadh Province -1, Nepal. The research, aimed at studying heritage management issues around the site has been supplemented by multiple field visits, numerous questionnaires and interviews with locals, visitors and experts. This article chiefly deals with the second phase of author’s exploration carried out on an annual fair called Maghe Purnima at Kichakbadh in 2019. While science of archaeology restricts human activities in conserved places, large fairs are held in archaeologically sensitive areas of Kichakbadh posing threats to archeological wealth there. To utter dismay, archaeological crimes are still common in many sites at Kichakbadh. Multiple field-visits, questionnaire with the stakeholders, visitors and community during the fair reveal that minimal traces of community and state level endeavors to conserve the sites do not meet the vast rescue requirements that Kichakbadh is actually in need of.

Sustainable Conservation

Archaeological sites are composed of unique, complex landscape settings including architectural remains, visually and spatially interrelated spaces, and ecologies with topographical features and landforms framing them. Today, they are subject to many pressures caused by developmental changes as well as improper conservation and planning strategies. One reason is that heritage conservation is still heavily focused on architectural features and less on the landscape setting. Wider landscape components set an authentic backdrop for cultural heritage and make the setting vivid and legible. Concentrating on this trend, this article explores the visual values of archaeological sites from the tripartite conceptualization view of visual landscape integrity, namely considering the archaeological landscape setting as an artifact, three-dimensional space, and scenery. Using the archaeological site complex of Bergama in Western Turkey as a case study, I propose a visual landscape–oriented approach as a tool for the sustainable conservation and presentation of heritage sites in the process of cultural resource management.

Los procesos de transformación del territorio en el Perú afectan la comprensión, protección y conservación de los sitios arqueológicos, desbordados por la intensidad y rapidez de los cambios. Sin embargo, los instrumentos de gestión patrimonial y territorial vigentes no facilitan espacios de integración del patrimonio arqueológico en las dinámicas territoriales actuales. El concepto de paisaje abre una oportunidad de alineación de sendas visiones sectoriales. En la región Lambayeque, en el norte del Perú, la elaboración de un diagnóstico territorial de su patrimonio arqueológico por el Ministerio de Cultura, permitiría ensayar una propuesta operativa del paisaje para la gestión de este patrimonio.Les processus de transformation du territoire au Pérou affectent la compréhension, la protection et la conservation des sites archéologiques, submergés par l’intensité et la vitesse des changements. Cependant, les instruments de gestion du patrimoine et du territoire ne fournissent pas d’espaces pour l’intégration du patrimoine archéologique dans les dynamiques territoriales actuelles. Le concept de paysage ouvre une opportunité d’aligner les visions sectorielles. Dans la région de Lambayeque, au nord du Pérou, l’élaboration d’un diagnostic territorial de son patrimoine archéologique par le ministère de la Culture, permettrait de tester une proposition de paysage opérationnelle pour la gestion de ce patrimoine.The understanding, protection and conservation of archaeological sites are overwhelmed by the strength and speed of territorial changes. However, heritage and territorial management tools do not integrate archaeological heritage into current territorial dynamics. The landscape concept is an opportunity to align both approaches. The Ministry of Culture of Peru has developed a territorial assessment of archaeological heritage in Lambayeque, North of Peru. It allows for a landscape operational approach to the heritage management.

Farming in a country like the Netherlands, which has a limited surface area, high land value and critical customers, is like walking a tightrope: a farmer is always the scapegoat when it comes to the societal consequences of the job. Archaeologists, for example, have problems with modern cultivation techniques, because they can demonstrably harm archaeological sites, yet the farming community is reluctant to accede to the archaeologists' requests, since it has many more (larger) issues to overcome. Predictive modelling as part of the development-led Dutch archaeology has not contributed to the desired mutual understanding. Yet there are signs of a growing willingness to listen to each other's needs, paralleled by developments in the environmental sector and the management of natural resources. Tentative projects to create a win-win situation for both farmers and archaeologists have been launched and even successfully carried out, but that is not enough. Archaeological heritage management requires permanent provisions, because the loss of information from the soil archive is irreversible. Attempts are being made to re-open the dialogue between farmers and archaeologists and bring about a more positive attitude on both sides. It is argued that severe actions are not effective in the Dutch polder.

The article is devoted to the current problem of rural tourism development at the national and regional levels. The paper reviews publications dedicated to rural tourism, which proved that the study of the development and geospatial organization of rural tourism in Poltava region requires further research. It analyzes the domestic legal framework, which is the basis for the development of rural tourism, covers scientific approaches to the conceptual and terminological apparatus of rural tourism and systematizes objects of tourist interest. According to the results of the study, the interpretation of the concept of "rural tourism" in a narrow subject sense (a form of recreational and tourist non-professional entrepreneurship of rural residents in rural areas while preserving their natural and cultural identity with a demonstration of traditional rural lifestyle) and in a broad sense (any forms of leisure time for tourists and excursionists in rural areas, as areas outside the city, including meadow-forest areas and water areas) was cleared up. In order to single out rural tourism accommodation establishments, it was proposed to follow the Minimum International Quality Standards of the European Rural Tourism Federation EuroGites, adapted to the types of settlements accepted in Ukraine. On the example of Poltava region the variety of offers of types of rural tourism estates as per prevailing services was summarized. According to open Internet sources and official data of Poltava regional and district state administrations, a map Estates and Services of Rural Tourism in Poltava Region was built; based on its analysis 6 centers of rural tourism of the region (Opishnya, Dykanka, Novy-Sanzhary, Velyka Bagachka, Kremenchug, Berezova Rudka) and their tourist specialization were singled out. Reshetylivka district is named as the most promising, but not realized in the sphere of rural tourism. Potential trends of rural tourism in Poltava region were determined.

PurposeIt has been widely recognised that the participation of residents is a significant issue in contemporary urban heritage conservation. However, studies confirm that the reasons behind residents' engagement are still difficult to assess, particularly in emerging countries. This paper aims to evaluate the factors that incite or prevent residents from participating in built heritage rehabilitation in the old city of Constantine, by applying the motivation-opportunity-ability (MOA) model.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire-based survey was used to collect information from the residents. The collected data were then analysed using the structural equation model (SEM).FindingsThe findings show that the most significant factors affecting residents' participation were related to their motivations and abilities. Interestingly, factors related to the opportunities did not influence participation. Thus, autonomous rehabilitation according to the residents' motivation and abilities is more likely to be adopted.Research limitations/implicationsThese findings are limited to the selected sample, and some variables have been eliminated through the SEM analysis.Originality/valueHowever, as a first attempt to study residents' participation in built heritage rehabilitation in Constantine, the paper proposes a different perspective for assessing participation by considering its means and ends simultaneously. The paper also provides guidance to local decision-makers to improve the legal framework by implementing factors that encourage residents' involvement in sustainable heritage management.

Interview with Claudia Kraan. Cultural-historical landscapes on Bonaire: flexible and sustainable protection of heritage As the least populated of the ‘Benedenwindse Eilanden’, Bonaire still has many special landscapes. There, archaeologist Claudia Kraan is involved in drawing up policy documents in the context of the implementation of the Malta Convention for the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage. Part of this is a nomination file of some cultural-historical landscapes on Bonaire, based on the existing archaeological sites. Claudia is formally employed by the National Archaeological Anthropological Memory Management (NAAM), a nonprofit organization that is committed to the conservation, identification and research of the material and intangible heritage of Curaçao and Bonaire in a Caribbean perspective. In this interview Claudia Kraan gives us an insight in her work and the opportunities and barriers she sees in the protection of heritage of Bonaire.
