During the summers of 1998-2000 four Saami villages in southern Sapmi carried out a survey of traditional reindeer herding sites. Reindeer herding of today engages a small Saami minority, but the reindeer herders are important as bearers of Saami culture and language. Reindeer herding has, however, been called into question from several different directions. In this process, which often leads to court, the ability of the Saami villages to present evidence of previous reindeer herding in a region, either in written records or as remains in the landscape, has become an argument for the continued rights of use of certain winter-grazing areas. As a result, archaeology has acquired a new relevance for the Saami villages. But the procedures of archaeological surveys and of the cultural heritage conservation in Sweden are based on ethnocentric assumptions. In a cultural sense, Sapmi of the past and present-day Sweden belong to two different continents, even though they happen to be situated in the same comer of the world. When working with Saami history it is necessary to do away with the distinction between "nature" and "culture", just like a number of other dualisms that are relevant only in a (modern) Western context. If we replace "nature" and "culture" with "environment", we will increase our possibilities to translate Saami history into the language of archaeology and to make archaeology relevant to local people in the mountain region.

An excavation at the site of Kota Rebah (also known as Kota Lama) in the city of Tanjung Pinang, Kepulauan Riau (Riau Islands) Province in October 2014, which was carried out by the Cultural Office of Kepulauan Riau Province, in cooperation with the Medan Archaeological Centre and the Cultural Heritage Conservation Office of Batusangkar, is an attempt to explore remains of the cultural history of Kepulauan Riau community, including to understand about their types and functions. This is in relation to the site and remains of a building that is believed by some local inhabitants to be a site and remains of the palace of the Melayu kings in the past. The data collected using survey and excavation method indicate that the site and building remains are more likely to be remains of a loji (fort with warehouses) than the site and remains of a palace.

Conservation And Management

This paper is an attempt to explain problems of cultural heritage conservation and management in Thailand due to the neglect of the State and the weakness of the society in understanding and protecting their cultural heritage especially the “folk culture” against globalization. The paper also points out that the impending Thailand Charter for cultural heritage conservation and management is the key solution to counterbalance today’s threats. Non-government organizations should take the lead in drafting the Charter with full public participation. Meanwhile local cultural heritage organizations which are at risk should immediately respond, with all stakeholders involved, before it is too late.

Los arquitectos históricamente hemos estado vinculados a los procesos de conservación del Patrimonio Cultural. Con motivo de la realización de la Tesis Doctoral, sobre la Difusión del Patrimonio y debido al reconocido prestigio internacional del modelo de gestión Vila Museu en Mértola (Portugal), como ejemplo de buenas prácticas en la puesta en valor, fue seleccionado como uno de los casos de estudio. Este caso es el que se incluye en la presente publicación.El proyecto Vila Museu, surge en los años 80, fruto de una iniciativa del Campo Arqueológico de Mértola, en colaboración con su Asociación en Defensa del Patrimonio y apoyado por la Câmara Municipal. Un proyecto con origen en la investigación arqueológica, que pretendía desarrollar cultural y económicamente una de las regiones más deprimidas de Portugal. Nuestro objetivo era crear un sistema analítico y de evaluación de las acciones de difusión existentes, así como del modelo de gestión desarrollado. Se propusieron una serie de indicadores clasificados en tres fases, según aspectos relacionados con su gestión, con sus contenidos difundidos, y/o con parámetros relacionados con temporalidad y accesibilidad. Abstract:Historically, architects have been related to the processes of Cultural Heritage conservation. Because of the Doctoral Thesis execution about Heritage Dissemination, and due to the recognized international prestige of the management model Vila Museu in Mértola (Portugal), was selected as one of the case studies as an example of good practice in the enhancement. This case will be covered in this edition.The Vila Museu project arose in the 80s, as result of an initiative of the Campo Arqueológico de Mértola, in collaboration with the Asociación en defensa del Patrimonio and helped by Câmara Municipal. A project originating in archaeological research that was aimed to develop culturally and economically one of the most depressed regions of Portugal. The objective was to create an analytical and evaluative system for existing dissemination actions, as well as the management model developed. A series of indicators classified in three phases were proposed, according to aspects related to their management, their disseminated contents, and / or parameters related to temporality and accessibility.

AbstractIn the past years, many geoparks have been established all over the world, based mainly on the geoheritage, and partly on the cultural heritage, of the regions. Their main aim is to promote the spatial development of certain regions, especially by the development of tourism, including geo- and ecotourism. One of the newest geoparks is the Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark along the border of Slovakia and Hungary, which, having a high status, belongs to the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network. What is remarkable about it is that it was the very first cross-border geopark. Because of historical elements and due to political intentions, borders often play a more disjunctive than connective role, and the changes of the borders in the 20th century often distorted the spatial structure and turned former peripheries into flourishing regions. This was characteristic also of the regions where the Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark was established. Beyond the perspective for the spatial development of these regions, this cross-border geopark forces directly the local authorities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on both sides of the border to maintain tighter contacts for co-operation, promoting by this means also better connections between the two countries.
