The geologicalheritages in Xinjiang are characterized by their large quantity, rich variety and high grade. The main types of the geologicalheritages in Xinjiang are the geologic-geomorphic landscapes and the water landscapes. The spatial
distribution can be divided into 5 geologicalheritage districts: Altay, Junggar, Tianshan, Tarim and Kunlun-Altun, among which Tianshan and Kunlun-Altun are most important. It is confirmed that the insufficient coordination between protection and exploitation
is the primary cause for the backward situation in the geologicalheritage protection. To solve the problem, the A. proposes 6 major protection steps.
Geologicalheritage in Chinese parks : balancing protection and development

Drawing on field research at the Phanom Rung Historical Park in Buriram Province, the article aims to shed light on some of the conceptual and practical challenges involved in the shifting from the tangible to intangible in heritage management
. It traces the history of Phanom Rung’s incorporation into Thailand’s national heritage. Over the course of 20th century, the sanctuary was transformed from a locally sacred site of Buddhist pilgrimage and worship of tutelary spirits, into a national symbol
of Thailand’s Khmer heritage. The A discusses the practical question of how to initiate community involvement in the management and interpretation of the sanctuary, particularly given its national significance. - (GL)

This paper introduces an advanced approach to natural and cultural heritage inventory for the study of heritage trees. Because trees play different roles in society, different regulations apply to their preservation, which can lead
to inconsistencies in records for heritages trees. The inventory of heritage trees and their types in the study area is based on existing lists of heritage trees, fieldwork and interviews. A new database of heritage trees has been established in which the advantage
