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

The Thai heritage conservation community has been stunned by the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Thailand to demolish the venerable buildings on Sanam Luang , in which the Court has been housed for several decades. The A remarks
that the Court, which should be an ultimate source of redress against illegal destruction of heritage, is flagrantly flouting zoning restrictions and the attempt by the Fine Arts Department (FAD) to protect heritage sites from destruction. The case is but one
of many examples of the difficulties that progressives forces face in safeguarding Thailand’s rich and diverse cultural heritage against the unsympathetic bureaucratic bodies, ambitious interests, and well-meaning but ill-advised agents of “development

This article investigates how cultural landscapes (especially the potentially limiting organically evolved landscape) can be used as a research framework to evaluate historical mining heritage sites in Australia and New Zealand. We argue that when
mining heritage sites are read as evolved organic landscapes and linked to the surrounding forested and hedged farmland, the disruptive aspects of mining are masked. Cultural landscape is now a separate listing for World Heritage sites and includes
for their heritage, indeed World Heritage, significance and, where appropriate, developed for their sustainable heritage tourism potential. Drawing on a number of research disciplines, a schematic framework is offered for interpreting and classifying these new world
cultural landscapes based upon analysis of gold-rush heritage sites throughout the Trans-Tasman world. We evaluate and apply this framework to place-based case studies in Victoria, Australia and Otago, New Zealand.
The geological heritages in Xinjiang are characterized by their large quantity, rich variety and high grade. The main types of the geological heritages in Xinjiang are the geologic-geomorphic landscapes and the water landscapes. The spatial
distribution can be divided into 5 geological heritage 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 geological heritage protection. To solve the problem, the A. proposes 6 major protection steps.

This article illuminates the authorised heritage discourse at work in heritage-making, and highlight contested issues of ownership, governance, authenticity, and value. These themes contribute to the possibility of marginalising the voices of local
people who wish to contribute to heritage-making in Cape York. Politics infuses all aspects of heritage-making in Cape York, and the specific experiences on Cape York reflect larger political processes occurring in World Heritage discourse.
Heritage in landscape or landscape as heritage - the case of landscape change management in protected and development areas in Czechia
Aménagement du territoire ; Développement régional ; Gestion de l'environnement ; Héritage culturel ; Paysage ; Protection de l'environnement ; Tchèque république
According to recent development, landscape is not only object of scientific studies, but it is being included in planning policy and practice as well. Along with this emerges the strong sense of landscape as heritage constituting the identity
of people on different hierarchical levels. However, should be the management of landscape as heritage treated as inherent part of spatial (physical, regional) planning or restricted only to so called natural or landscape protected areas ? The discussion
builds on examples from Czechia with the main emphasis on spatial relationships among areas devoted to cultural and natural heritage protection as well as areas dedicated to protection and development. - (BJ).
