The Relationship

The egalitarian character of traditional irrigation ( subak ) systems in Bali has been widely documented and discussed by anthropologists, historians, and archaeologists. In a recent study, Stephen Lansing and Karyn Fox considered how the principles of niche construction theory might help to understand the genesis of these systems, as well as certain of their institutional characteristics. Here I discuss how this approach might be extended, to include the relationship between subak systems and the hierarchical organization of the Balinese state, within which they exist. Just as the logistics of subak irrigation work to maintain a symbiosis between rice farmers and the non-human predators (e.g. crop-pests) which surround them, so the ritual elaboration of the agrarian calendar works as a kind of cultural camouflage against the parasitical interests of the state. In theory, these ecological and institutional dimensions of subak may seem to pertain to quite separate spheres of Balinese life. In practice, I suggest, they are intertwined aspects of a single system, which allowed the subak to survive from their origins in the 11 th century AD, down to their recent inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Management And Development

The Curonian Spit (Lithuania) and Vega Archipelago (Norway) are objects on the UNESCO World Heritage List because of their special kind of landscapes that have been formed not without human intervention. Landscapes created by nature itself or with human help are exceptional works which, as determined by the legal acts in regulation of these processes, have to be referred to as objects of cultural heritage. The cultural heritage must be protected, exhibited and viewed as objects of science and cognition. Lithuania and Norway have different conditions formed for identification, conservation and protection of these works, but both countries have recognized that protection of cultural heritage, passing it on for future generations is the duty of the state. Prospects of heritage management and development, and exchange of experience should be the top priorities for action in Lithuania. Kuršių nerija (Lietuva) ir Vega salynas (Norvegija) į Pasaulio paveldo vietovių sąrašą įrašytos dėl savo išskirtinių kraštovaizdžių, kurie suformuoti ne be žmogaus įsikišimo. Tai, ką sukūrė gamta, žmogus ar gamta kartu su žmogumi, yra išskirtiniai kūriniai, kuriuos, kaip nustato šiuos procesus reglamentuojantys teisės aktai, nurodoma vadinti kultūros paveldo objektais. Kultūros paveldą būtina saugoti, eksponuoti, vertinti kaip mokslo ir pažinimo objektus. Lietuvoje ir Norvegijoje susiklosčiusios skirtingos sąlygos šių kūrinių identifikavimo, išsaugojimo ar globos srityse, tačiau abiejose šalyse pripažįstama, kad kultūros paveldo apsauga, perdavimas ateinančioms kartoms yra tos valstybės pareiga. Paveldo tvarkybos ir vystymo perspektyvos, keičiantis patirtimi, turi būti Lietuvos prioritetinė veiklos sritis.

In the context of an ever-increasing level of urbanization, the historical urban environment is one of the most studied phenomena in modern theory and practice of heritage conservation. The change in the paradigm of heritage that has taken place over the past decades and the recognition of man as one of the most important components of the heritage protection system contribute to the development of the legal apparatus and of new approaches to preserving cities. The article traces the relationship between the transformation of ideas about the value of an urbanized territory as an object of heritage and the evolution of its protection tools, reveals the role of various elements in maintaining the integrity of urban fabric based on analysis of international and Russian regulatory documents. The regular building is recognized as an element, which allows maintaining cultural identity and at the same time developing valuable characteristics of the historical environment, ensuring the invariability of the perceived image of the city. The historic centre of St. Petersburg, which has an internationally recognized architectural, urban and intangible (associative, memorial) values and is therefore inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, is characterized by exceptional integrity and authenticity of the historical urban environment. These qualities require special and based on the principles of sustainability approaches to the development of the territory, which will ensure the maintenance of the integrity of the urban environment as an element of human environment.

Considerations on the conservation of an etruscan archaeological landscape: the case of Cerveteri fortificationsWhere now stands the city of Cerveteri (RM), between the ninth and third century BC took form one of the most important city-states of Etruria: Caere. Today this place is especially noted for the presence of the Etruscan necropolis of Banditaccia, inserted in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004. The remains of the ancient fortifications, that represent one of the most interesting and well-preserved examples of an Etruscan defensive wall, are instead less known. Due to a prolonged abandonment and a presence of uncontrolled vegetation, the conservation of this testimony is now compromised by visible signs of deterioration. At the same time, this condition has defined a suggestive archaeological landscape in which architecture and nature coexist in a precarious balance. This contribution tries to deepen the importance of preserving this evocative symbiosis and proposes a possible conservative approach that could manage the relationship between ruins and vegetation.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the current state and geography of the Ukrainian UNESCO World Heritage, and potential sites for the inclusion into the World Heritage List. Methods: The study used logical methods, methods of analogy and comparison, the cartographic method. Results: The current state, geography of the Ukrainian UNESCO World Heritage and potential sites for the inclusion into the World Heritage List have been analyzed. Ukrainian UNESCO sites are not widely represented in the World Heritage List, also they are distributed irregularly on territory of the state. It was determined that the largest number of potential UNESCO sites in Ukraine are historical fortification sites. Scientific novelty: The results of the reserch expand the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the structure and geography of UNESCO World Heritage, and of the potential for replenishing it with Ukrainian historical and cultural sites. Practical implications: The results of the reserch can be used as a theoretical basis for expanding the UNESCO World Heritage List in Ukraine.

The Relationship

The paper investigates the relationship between the preservation of cultural heritage and planning in UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) sites, with special reference to the relation between Management Plans and other (local and regional) planning instruments and policies able to influence the promotion of sustainable and responsible development. This will be explored through a case study related to South-Eastern Sicilian UNESCO sites (in particular Syracuse). The analysis of this case study will point out the challenge of integrating different management and planning regimes - which mainly refer to a performative model - in a (still) very conformative planning system. The paper will show how supranational protection tools and models often lose their efficacy in relation to local planning systems.

The Relationship

The current study proposes and refines the Appraisals in Personality (AIP) model in a multilevel investigation of whether appraisal dimensions of emotion predict differences in state neuroticism and extraversion. University students (N = 151) completed a five-factor measure of trait personality, and retrospectively reported seven situations from the previous week, giving state personality and appraisal ratings for each situation. Results indicated that: (a) trait neuroticism and extraversion predicted average levels of state neuroticism and extraversion respectively, and (b) five of the examined appraisal dimensions predicted one, or both of the state neuroticism and extraversion personality domains. However, trait personality did not moderate the relationship between appraisals and state personality. It is concluded that appraisal dimensions of emotion may provide a useful taxonomy for quantifying and comparing situations, and predicting state personality.
