Abstract

Development and conservation are key issues in cultural heritage management. This paper focuses on the emblematic heritage landscapes’ management practice in west and east, on the basis of field interviews, interpretation of oral history records, archives and secondary literature as well as relevant cartographic analysis; it explores the unavoidable impact caused by the Heritage Site designation on heritage landscape, people, and its intangible or tangible culture. It demonstrates the relationship between the cultural landscape and the people who reside there and some of the core issues for local communities and heritage managers and concludes that such “defined places” should have a sustainable relationship between people’s lives in their developing home place and the heritage designation, rational understanding is needed to evaluate sustainable conservation and development in such heritage landscapes.
