ICOMOS

This presentation outlines the role played by ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites), which is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to the conservation of the world's cultural monuments and sites, in awareness raising and training related to underwater cultural heritage protection. ICOMOS membership requires an individual to be a practicing cultural heritage professional or have professional qualifications in the fields of conservation or preservation such as architect, archaeologist, town planner, engineer, administrator of heritage, art historian or archivist. ICOMOS International Scientific Committees (ISCs) (such as ICUCH) are the vehicles through which ICOMOS brings together, develops and serves its worldwide membership according to their fields of specialized interest. ICOMOS expects the ISCs to be at the heart of scientific inquiry and exchange in their domains and to share knowledge among them to foster multi-disciplinary approaches to heritage protection and management.

ICUCH (International Committee on Underwater Cultural Heritage) was founded in 1991 by ICOMOS Australia to promote international cooperation in the protection and management of underwater cultural heritage and to advise ICOMOS on issues related to underwater cultural heritage around the world. ICUCH currently has ten members from the Asia and the Pacific region and this paper will discuss the role of ICUCH in the region. Furthermore ICUCH’s mission will only be achieved in conjunction with other stakeholders, such as the Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS). NAS training aims to increase public awareness at local, provincial and national levels about the extent and nature of underwater and maritime cultural heritage as well as about underwater and maritime archaeology.

In the past three decades, there has been increasing research carried out on the role of heritage and its processes in achieving broader sustainable development objectives beyond heritage conservation. As part of this movement, people-centered approaches and participation have been widely integrated into international regulations and guidelines on heritage management, stimulating the implementation of case studies-based research worldwide. Despite the wide advocacy of participatory heritage practices’ contributions to more inclusive and culturally sensitive local development in a great variety of projects, there is limited research into the roles these practices can have in addressing sustainability objectives. How are these roles addressed in international heritage regulatory frameworks, and what forms of participation are promoted for their fulfillment? This paper seeks to answer this research question through a content analysis of international declarations, conventions, guidelin...

Land use/land cover (LU/LC) is an important component in understanding the interactions of the human activities with the environment. Pulicat Lagoon is the second largest brackish water body in India and it is a home for many migrant water birds for various regions. It is a breeding ground for several species of water birds and marine living organisms. For the analysis of land use and land cover changes in Pulicat Lagoon, Landsat data is used with. The comparison of LULC which is derived from toposheet and satellite imagery interpretation indicates that there is a significant change occurred from the past to the present scenario. The LULC change detection analysis is essential for the identification of changes made in land use and land cover by comparing the old Toposheet with recent satellite data. The main objective of this paper is to quantify the land use and land cover changes of Pulicat Lagoon using multi-temporal satellite image and change detection analysis. The changes were carried out using ArcGIS software and ENVI software by doing supervised and unsupervised classification of image and mapping of those analyzed data. Unsupervised classification is done by the computer itself by using some technique to determine which pixels are related and groups them into classes. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a parameter for identifying vegetation changes in an area and also it has an obvious correlation with vegetation cover. Temporal variation corresponds to the vegetation change and growth using ENVI software. The NDVI of an area can be calculated using mathematical expressions (NIR-RED/NIR+RED) in the data which have the band combination of RED and Near InfraRed (NIR). It is necessary to monitor and detect the changes to maintain a sustainable environment for a proper development. In this study, LULC changes are investigated using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS).

This study focuses on how heritage interpretation can be planned and operated as an integral part of a site management process. The ICOMOS Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites, which was initiated by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), offers professional principles for effectively interpreting cultural heritage sites. The Charter principles include ‘access and understanding’, soundness of ‘information sources’, attention to ‘setting and context’, preservation of ‘authenticity’, planning for ‘sustainability’, concern for ‘inclusiveness’, and importance of ‘research, evaluation and training’.
Considering the necessity of correlating these international principles with interpretation practices, this study analyzes and assesses interpretation practices at the Boston National Historical Park, a unit of the National Park Service in the US; and at the same time tests the practicality of the Charter principles. This park is composed of eight nationally significant historical sites located separately in an urban context.
Certain aspects of the park that affect the effectiveness of its interpretation activities i.e., management policies, organizational model, partnerships with stakeholders, fiscal resources, management planning, and interpretive planning have been examined. Besides, on-site interpretation at three sites of the park - the Charlestown Navy Yard, Old South Meeting House and Paul Revere House- have been analyzed within the ICOMOS Charter framework. Finally, recommendations have been developed for the ongoing work of the ICOMOS, for the Boston National Historical Park as well as for other cultural heritage sites.

De acuerdo con la Resolución Suprema N° 2900-72-ED, el Teatro Municipal de Trujillo posee la condición de Monumento Histórico del Perú desde el 28 de diciembre de 1972. El presente artículo analiza al teatro como espacio físico y la vida cultural que se generó en este importante recinto cultural desde sus inicios a finales del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad. Se considera, en este sentido, su destrucción en el año de 1910 a raíz de un voraz incendio que colapsó completamente su estructura y su reinauguración en el marco de las celebraciones del Centenario de la Independencia del país.

Com'è noto, a partire dal X sec. il Tirolo è stato teatro delle discese dalla Germania dei Sovrani del Sacro Romano Impero, che con i loro eserciti erano diretti a Roma per l'incoronazione papale o scendevano nella peni-sola per rafforzare il loro potere nei confronti delle nascenti autonomie co-munali. Le Vie di passaggio utilizzate da questi eserciti conservano ancora le numerose strutture fortificate sorte per il controllo del territorio. L'Itinerario "Le Vie dell'Impero" intende ricostruire il percorso degli Imperatori, dalla Baviera alla Pianura Padana: un progetto che mira a coinvolgere tutti coloro che sono interessati alla valorizzazione culturale e turistica del territorio e che porterà alla riscoperta delle radici storiche degli Stati d'Europa. Con il Convegno tenutosi a Palazzo Widmann di Bolzano, i cui contenuti sono riprodotti in questo volume, si è inteso raccogliere le impressioni sul progetto degli attori in campo e creare le premesse per la formazione di una partnership volta alla costituzione di una rete tra Organizzazioni ed Istituzioni di Germania, Austria ed Italia finalizzata alla realizzazione dell'itinerario culturale "Le Vie dell'Impero".
Il volume è in italiano e tedesco.

Seit dem X. Jahrhundert war Tirol Durchzugsland der Herrscher des Heiligen Römischen Reiches, die mit ihren Heeren von Deutschland aus nach Rom zogen, um Papstkrönungen beizuwohnen oder ihre Macht gegen die neu entstehenden Autonomiebestrebungen der mittelalterlichen Stadtgemeinden zu festigen. Noch heute weisen die von diesen Heeren genutzten Durchzugswege Zeugnisse der zahlreichen Befestigungen auf, die zur Kontrolle über dieses Gebiet errichtet wurden. Der Kulturweg "Die Wege des Kaiserreichs" verläuft auf den Spuren der Kaiser auf ihrem Weg von Bayern in die Po-Ebene. Er möchte alle an einer kulturellen und touristischen Aufwertung dieses Gebietes interessierten Personen anspre-chen und die historischen Wurzeln der europäischen Staaten aufdecken. Durch die im Palais Widmann in Bozen abgehaltene Tagung, deren Inhalte in die-sem Band wiedergegeben werden, sollten die Erfahrungen der zahlreichen an diesem Projekt beteiligten Partner aufgezeigt und die Voraussetzungen für eine Partnerschaft in Form eines Netzwerkes zwischen deutschen, österreichischen und italienischen Organisationen und Institutionen geschaffen werden, um ge-meinsam an der Umsetzung des Kulturweges "Die Wege des Kaiserreichs" zu arbeiten.

This paper aims to present the educational programmes that have been taking place at the new Archaeological Museum of Pella (inaugurated in 2010), after the implementation of the new structure of the Ministry of Culture and Sports (2014), in an attempt to reach different social groups.
We have tried to lay the foundations so that the museum can: 1) contribute to the shaping of people’s cultural values and become a reference point in their lives;
2) perform, in a period of crisis, a civic role as a nonprofit institution at the service of society and its development, open to the public and aiming at education and entertainment (figs. 1-10); 3) contribute to social inclusion and to the offering of learning and social equity opportunities (fig. 4); 4) make the visit of individual visitors and families more enjoyable (fig. 5); 5) help adult visitors overcome the “threshold fear”; and 6) extend itself beyond its walls (figs. 8-10).
To achieve those goals, we turned to two types of storytelling, which are often absent in museum: first, the fairy tale that aims to offer visitors an emotional and embodied connection to museum objects by putting visitors into the story (figs. 6-7); and second,
the theatrical analogion, which by addressing universal issues, such as Eros, Lamentation, Outlands, both helps museums become better narrators and offers participants ways to see, listen and understand the world.
The paper reflects on the benefits and challenges of this process. The overall positive reactions of visitors suggest that the foundations for building a two-way relationship between the museum and visitors have been laid. However, this relationship needs to be maintained. And to be maintained, it must be continuously strengthened.

DIMITROVGRAD: IDEAS AND INTERPRETATIONS
D. Zheleva-Martins
Abstract: The paper will analyse the two town-planning projects of Dimitrovgrad, the first from 1947 of a team headed by Architect Lyuben Tonev, and the second, from 1951, of a team headed by Architect Peter Tashev.
The analysis will be conducted in a novel way, by juxtaposing the positions of the two leading architects, from the point of view of their creative interpretation and re-interpretation in time as reflected in the professional literature and press.
By virtue of this ostensibly conflict analysis, achieved by juxtaposing the two authors' criticism in the professional literature of the plan of the other, we obtain indirect evidence, characterisation and assessment of each of the plans, and together with this clarify the positions, concepts and ideas about the town of both those who are the target of criticism, as well as the ones who are criticising.
These reciprocal professional assessments of the town plans are complemented by the opinions, comments vis-à-vis Dimitrovgrad’s planning, and spatial development of the citizens contemporaries of the plans.
The author expects that the juxtaposition of the assessments will objectify them and thus make it possible to clearly stipulate the indisputable characteristics of Dimitrovgrad's town planning, which are worthy of preservation and protection on the merit of constituting cultural and historical heritage of the 1950s.
Key Words: Dimitrovgrad; town-planning projects - 1947; 1951; juxtaposing the two authors' criticism; characterisation and assessment of each of the plans; preservation and protection the cultural and historical heritage of the 1950s.

El 12 de enero de 2021 se constituyó el Comité Científico Nacional de Arte Rupestre de ICOMOS-España (CCNAR ICOMOS-España) como un grupo de grupo de expertos en estas manifestaciones culturales con el objeto de dinamizar una reflexión rigurosa sobre la gestión de estos bienes culturales desde los principios emanados de las cartas y convenios internacionales para la gestión del patrimonio cultural. La creación de este Comité Científico Nacional de Arte Rupestre deriva de los objetivos del plan estratégico 2018-2021 del Comité Nacional de ICOMOS-España, que pretende agrupar a sus expertos en grupos de trabajo temáticos para profundizar en los fines de la institución: la identificación, el conocimiento, la documentación, la conservación, la protección, la gestión y la difusión del patrimonio cultural, en este caso en el ámbito español. Ello no supone una restricción local de la institución internacional, bien alcontrario, busca reproducir un organigrama reflejo de los Comités Científic...

RESUMO Um meio de comunicação e uma forma de arte, o cinema é capaz de traduzir, por meio de imagens em movimento, ideais, épocas, histórias e sentimentos. Responsáveis por veicular diversos símbolos, registrar espaços e exportar culturas, filmes são fontes de informações que não devem ser desconsideradas enquanto repositório da memória. Permeando hábitos sociais, eles estabelecem uma intrínseca relação com a memória, ponto de partida para os argumentos que serão aqui apresentados. Este estudo aborda questões relativas ao uso do cinema como um espaço de preservação da arquitetura modernista, e veículo de informação que narra o percurso humano, no tempo e espaço. A proposta é correlacionar cinema e arquitetura pela análise de como as arquiteturas modernas são representadas e percebidas nos filmes e de que maneira esses filmes podem colaborar para a preservação. Tem-se como objetivo evidenciar o papel dos filmes como documentos pertinentes para a elaboração de pesquisas, publicações e testemunhos históricos de diversas obras edificadas do Modernismo, ponderando-se também os riscos e possíveis induções a erros provocados pela interpretação de uma obra artística. Ao ser realizada a revisão bibliográfica, buscou-se também identificar quais as características, específicas e abstratas, da arquitetura moderna que podem ser extraídas do material fílmico. Valoriza-se a retratação da passagem do tempo e da experiência humana no espaço. O trabalho se estrutura em três partes: a apresentação de um breve panorama histórico, o contexto investigado e a introdução de alguns conceitos chaves. A segunda apresenta exemplos da retratação da arquitetura moderna através de filmes selecionados e seus desdobramentos de interpretação, seja pelo valor de excepcionalidade ou exemplaridade para com as edificações representadas. Na terceira, compilam-se os elementos referenciais estruturando-se algumas ponderações para a abordagem do repertório fílmico no âmbito de proteção do patrimônio moderno. A relação entre cinema e arquitetura perpetua-se cada vez mais ao longo dos anos, entretanto muito do legado de ambas as artes pode ser perdido por falta de reconhecimento. Esta forma de mutualismo entre essas duas expressões artísticas e técnicas apresenta-se como uma frente para que a memória dos tijolos e da película perdure.

Despite covering most of the Eurasian continent and recently reclaiming its position as a geopolitical heavyweight, the (world) heritage agenda of the Russian Federation remains relatively unexplored. In an effort to fill this gap, this paper seeks to uncover some of the main threads that define the politics of historical sites in Russia through contextualising Russia’s most recent addition to World Heritage Site: the archaeological site of Bolgar (Federal Republic of Tatarstan). Within this exercise there will be specific attention for the ideological pathways, asymmetric power relations and shifting geopolitical alignments that define the sociocultural dimensions of the site. Popular heritage themes such as ethno- nationalism, post-colonialism, neo-liberalism, representational practices and branding will be scrutinised. Besides contributing to the globalisation project that is expediting the theoretical maturing of heritage studies, at the end of the paper some theoretical oppor- tunities will briefly be explored. This paper concludes that heritage in Russia is far from neutral, and that international heritage organisations and researchers involved in Russia have more consideration and foster reflexivity about their actions and particular position in relation to governmental institutions. Cultural remains are important political commod- ities in Putin’s asymmetrical federation. Especially now the sector has evolved into a multi- million business, the integrity of heritage practitioners is threatened.

"Le dossier des “Villages antiques” (improprement appelés ”Villes mortes”) indique que “situés dans le vaste massif calcaire au nord-ouest de la Syrie, une quarantaine de villages antiques offrent un aperçu cohérent et d’une amplitude exceptionnelle sur les modes de vie ruraux et villageois de l’Antiquité tardive et de l’époque byzantine”. “Regroupés au sein de huit parcs archéologiques, l’ensemble forme une série de paysages culturels, reliques uniques et exceptionnelles”. Une description plus complète, extraite du rapport de l’ICOMOS est jointe."

Our exercise began with the literature survey on impact assessment methodologies applied in the heritage context. It revealed that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to assess the impacts of CH investments. However, the complexity and evolution of impact assessment (IA) as a research methodology and practice are stimulating the process of standardization. Hence, various frameworks and guidelines have emerged to direct IA (Vanclay 2003), such as guidelines of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS 2011) or Social Impact Assessment guidance (Vanclay et al. 2015). In the CH context dedicated works are also facilitated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) at the global level.

In the past three decades, there has been increasing research carried out on the role of heritage and its processes in achieving broader sustainable development objectives beyond heritage conservation. As part of this movement, people-centered approaches and participation have been widely integrated into international regulations and guidelines on heritage management, stimulating the implementation of case studies-based research worldwide. Despite the wide advocacy of participatory heritage practices’ contributions to more inclusive and culturally sensitive local development in a great variety of projects, there is limited research into the roles these practices can have in addressing sustainability objectives. How are these roles addressed in international heritage regulatory frameworks, and what forms of participation are promoted for their fulfillment? This paper seeks to answer this research question through a content analysis of international declarations, conventions, guidelin...

Educational program for students of 5th-6th class of Primary School. Participants had the opportunity to understand the operation of a public social space, the largest agora (market-place) in the ancient world. Through guidance, observation, questions and answers, special worksheets, special electronic application, but also the theatrical play, they learned that the agora was on the one hand a place of various productive and economic activities and on the other a place of administrative, social and political action. Finally, through the distribution of specific roles (e.g. shopkeepers, customers, craftsmen, slaves, etc.), the collective work and improvisation, they proceeded, based on their own experiential experiences, to compose and present all the information they collected.

The paper outlines the general conservation problems and needs for the archaeological bronzes at the museum in Rabat Morocco. It also describes the preventive conservation measures that were taken in order to improve the environmental conditions of the bronzes on display in the exhibition room of the museum. However, the main aim of this study was to test a new corrosion inhibitor able to protect archaeological bronzes against corrosion. The authors have synthesized an organic product named 3-phenyl 1,2,4-triazole-5 thione noted PTS. This compound acts as good corrosion inhibitor to protect bronze in neutral chloride medium. So as to facilitate its use in application to bronze artefacts, a special formulation known as FPTS was prepared. The inhibiting effect of FPTS was studied using transient electrochemical technique and surface analysis. The results indicate that FPTS has good inhibiting effect and this inhibitor formulation acts on both anodic and cathodic processes.

Silk heritage belongs to the so-called integral heritage type, which means that tangible and intangible elements can be found in one piece. Moreover, silk is a living heritage strongly connected with its community. It is paradigmatic case, where its intangible elements go from literature, to mulberry farming, or traditional weaving techniques. Also, activities surrounding silk trade have left an imprint on various cities in monuments and even marking their town planning. Nowadays, silk is a living heritage in various communities and constitutes an element of creativity that can be appreciated in the current fashion trends. This paper addresses the main results of the SILKNOW project, funded by the European Union within the framework of Horizon 2020, and will give value to this heritage by proposing the elaboration of a national plan that will guarantee the safeguarding of techniques and knowledge linked to weaving techniques, through oral memory and conservation, documentation and cataloging. Within this project, we seek to understand these techniques through technology in order to make this knowledge accessible, while promoting silk knowledge among society.

Water has served and sustained societies throughout the history of humankind. People have actively shaped its course, form, and function for human settlement and the development of civilizations. Around water, they have created socioeconomic structures, policies, and cultures; a rich world of narratives, laws, and practices; and an extensive tangible network of infrastructure, buildings, and urban form. Today, the complex and diverse systems of the past are necessarily the framework for preservation and reuse as well as for new systems. Through twenty-one chapters in five thematic sections, this book links the practices of the past to a present in which heritage and water are largely two separate disciplinary and professional fields. It describes an alternative emerging present in which policymaking and design work together to recognize and build on traditional knowledge and skills while imagining how such efforts will help us develop sustainable futures for cities, landscapes, and ...
