This chapter describes cultural heritage law and management in Africa. Whether in the field of tangible and intangible heritage or the domain of movable and immovable cultural heritage, sub-Saharan Africa legislation and administration of cultural property have been blighted by the colonial past. Independence has not always been used as opportunity for a breaking off or breaking forth with the cultural heritage protection system installed by the former colonial power. It appears that the formulation and elaboration of cultural heritage laws are often designed on European concepts of the protection of cultural property. The laws are, therefore, not often adapted to the present African realities. This is a legacy of the colonial past. The chapter then considers the AFRICA 2009 programme, which has helped in many ways to enhance in manifold ways the conservation of immovable cultural heritage in sub-Saharan Africa through a sustainable development process.

Heritage Protection

At present, in terms of the architectural heritage protection, the rapid development of Chinese economics and the accelerating urbanization process have caused a great deal of "constructive destructions" to the architectural heritage and have accelerated its demise. In order to change the situation and to deepen the people's understanding to the value of the architectural heritage, the paper will make further analysis and research on the culture value and economics value from the view of cultural economics and then give the architectural heritage the third-largest value -- social value. The ultimate goal is to establish the architectural heritage value system so as to promote the protection and the sustainable development of the architectural heritage.

The Church

The article discusses three objects of Kaunas architectural heritage, which represent different cases of heritage treatment in the years of independence. In Soviet times, a building of the Communist Party Committee blocked the gothic church of St Gertrude to an enclosed yard. This building was demolished by the civic initiative organised by the Sąjūdis movement in 1989. The church was restored using the state funds in 1991–1994. A small wooden suburban manor was built in Baritonai Street in the middle of the 19th century. It had belonged to the Petravičiai family for one hundred years. The house has been deserted since 1994. The local authority of Kaunas has been working on privatisation documents for so long that the house has entirely crumbled. A detached house of the famous architect Vytautas Landsbergis-Žemkalnis represents the interwar modernism. After restoration of independence, it was returned to his family. The family sold the house. Although it was included to the Register of Cultural Property and declared protected by the state, the new owners have transformed the exterior of the house completely in 2004–2005. The two last-mentioned examples symptomatically reveal a crisis of values in Lithuanian heritage protection. A punctilious legalism enables institutions responsible for heritage protection to hide under the veil of law-making rather than bother with alternative possibilities of preservation. Santrauka Straipsnyje aptariami trys Kauno architektūros paveldo objektai, reprezentuojantys skirtingus elgesio su paveldu atvejus nepriklausomybės metais. Gotikinę Šv. Gertrūdos bažnyčią į uždarą kiemą užblokavęs komunistų partijos komiteto pastatas buvo nugriautas Atgimimo sąjūdžio organizuotos visuomenės iniciatyva 1989 m., o pati bažnyčia 1991–1994 m. restauruota valstybės lėšomis. Medinis XIX a. vidurio priemiesčio dvarelis Baritonų g. 6, šimtą metų priklausęs Petravičių šeimai, nuo 1994 m. stovi tuščias, miesto savivaldybė tol rengė dokumentus privatizacijai, kol namas visai sugriuvo. Žymaus architekto Vytauto Landsbergio-Žemkalnio kotedžas, reprezentuojantis tarpukario modernizmą, atkūrus nepriklausomybę buvo grąžintas šeimai. Jos nariai namą pardavė, naujieji savininkai 2004–2005 m. visiškai pertvarkė išorę, nors objektas jau buvo įtrauktas į Kultūros vertybių registrą ir paskelbtas valstybės saugomu. Šie du pavyzdžiai simptomiškai atskleidžia vertybių krizę Lietuvos paveldo apsaugos srityje. Utilitarus legalizmas leidžia paveldosaugos institucijoms prisidengti įstatymo formule ir nesivarginti ieškant alternatyvių išsaugojimo galimybių.

This research focusing on the world architectural heritage sites registered in the World Heritage List established by UNESCO aimed to analyze its spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors at the world and regional level to provide a scientific basis for further architectural heritage conservation. Firstly, this study explored the spatial distribution characteristics of the world architectural heritage sites using the ArcGIS spatial analysis method. Then, we used the space–time statistical method to analyze their spatial and temporal distribution characteristics. The main findings are as follows: (1) world architectural heritage sites are distributed in clusters with imbalanced patterns and a strong degree of concentration: in Western Europe, Eastern Asia, and Northwestern Latin America, with clear country distribution, especially in Italy, China, and Mexico; (2) the time of construction can be divided into four stages: the ancient historic sites stage, the uniform and stable stage, the stage of growth in Asia and Europe, and the stage of growth in Europe, America, and Africa; (3) different types of heritage sites are unevenly distributed, and the type distribution differs significantly between regions, with regional uniqueness. The authors also analyzed the influencing factors of the spatial distribution characteristics and highlighted the important influence of the geographical environment, historical evolution, economic strength and discourse power, international heritage protection situation, and registration policy. This study may provide basis for specific guidance and directions for heritage protection for various countries and regions.

The survey of ancient buildings is complex work. Chinese wooden buildings, with their complex structure and exquisite decorations, pose a great challenge for survey work. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce unmanned-helicopter photogrammetry and laser scanning technology to facilitate the work. This paper uses three cases to explain the application of these new technologies in China’s architectural heritage protection and analyzes the special features and main operational techniques of the survey work.

Institutions for Lithuania’s heritage protection have been declaring the necessity of preserving wooden architecture since 2002; however, there have been very few realistic results. Although the Vilnius City Municipality initiated a strategic programme for saving wooden architecture, there have been no tangible results to date. The purpose of this article s to analyse the needs and opportunities for preserving wooden architecture in Kaunas. Wooden buildings such as small manor and garden estate houses, villas, cottages, summer homes, rental houses and residential military and railway complexes have survived in Kaunas. Representative buildings of all these types need to be preserved in all parts of Kaunas. These reflect the juncture of professional and ethnic traditions in cities, estates and villages. Therefore such buildings are exceptional at conveying local identity. The 2009 educational project carried out at the Faculty of Arts of Vytautas Magnus University revealed that the survival of wooden houses largely depends on the motivation of their owners. The most important condition for preserving wooden architecture is to attract the owners of these buildings to join with the supporters of this architectural heritage. Consultations on the maintenance of such buildings to retain the heritage must be organised. The community interested in rehabilitation of wooden structures could generate and share information in a virtual environment. Santrauka Paveldosaugos institucijos Lietuvoje nuo 2002 m. deklaruoja medinės architektūros išsaugojimo būtinumą, tačiau realių rezultatų pasiekta labai nedaug. Vilniaus miesto savivaldybės iniciatyva parengta medinės architektūros apsaugos strategijos programa kol kas nedavė apčiuopiamų rezultatų. Straipsnis skirtas Kauno medinės architektūros išsaugojimo poreikių ir galimybių analizei. Kaune išliko medinių dvarelių, sodybinių namų, vilų, kotedžų, vasarnamių, nuomojamų namų, kariškių ir geležinkeliečių gyvenamųjų kompleksų. Reikėtų išsaugoti šių tipologinių grupių architektūros reprezentantus visose miesto dalyse. Jie atspindi profesionaliosios ir etninės (miesto, dvaro, kaimo) tradicijų jungtį ir dėl to yra išskirtiniai lokalinio tapatumo perdavėjai. VDU Menų fakultete 2009 m. vykdytas edukacinis projektas atskleidė, jog medinių namų išlikimas daugiausia priklauso nuo savininkų motyvacijos. Savininkų patraukimas į medinio paveldo rėmėjų pusę laikytinas svarbiausia išsaugojimo sąlyga. Būtina organizuoti konsultavimą apie paveldui palankią namų priežiūrą ir tvarkymą. Medinių namų atgaivinimu suinteresuota bendruomenė galėtų kurtis ir dalintis informacija virtualioje aplinkoje.

By giving an outline of the Chinese cultural heritage protection system, thefirst part of this paper concentrates on the opportunities and limits of archaeological investigation conducted by foreigners in the People's Republic Abstracts 267of China. It not only presents the history of preserving archaeological recordsand describes its legal and institutional backgrounds, but also details howthe existing legal provisions limit the opportunities of on-site research forforeigners. Other problems of heritage protection are also listed. Despite increasing legal efforts, tourism, archaeological looting, large scale constructions, and many other destructive factors all result in significant damage ofarchaeological property, and call for improved protection. Additionally, ashortage of experienced professionals and some major weaknesses of Chinese academic writings (such as the relative absence of comprehensive theoretical works, reliable databases, objective and detailed descriptions, etc.) require further reforms. While the above situation makes the use of publisheddata more difficult, it also increases the number of interdisciplinary researchgroups in the context of Sino-foreign cooperations. However, for individualscholars, archaeological investigation in China can still present a significantchallenge. In this manner, the second part of the paper provides an example of thelimits and opportunities detailed above through summarizing the results ofthe author's own research conducted in China.
