ICOMOS发表“水域文化遗产之中东及马格里布地区”专题研究论文（初版）
Water clearly has a special place amongst the many relationships which exist between man and nature. It is a permanent and essential human need. Access to water is a vital element common to all human civilisations; there are no exceptions, meaning that all civilisations have a water culture. In the course of history, this has led to a wide variety of tangible and social expressions, which we may consider to be one of the fundamental heritages of humanity.The aim of the approach adopted for this thematic study is to provide assistance for recognising, studying and preserving heritage of this type. For this initial study, ICOMOS has chosen to focus on the region of the Middle East and the Maghreb, inside the general framework of water rarity.The thematic study proposes a typological inventory which should primarily be seen as a methodological aid for anyone wishing to consider the above-mentioned aspects, either with a view to achieving recognition and protection of such heritages by the World Heritage List or to protecting heritage in a national context.A second edition is foreseen at a later stage which would complete the overall picture with some additional contributions.下载地址：ICOMOS发表“水域文化遗产之中东及马格里布地区”专题研究论文（初版）

“继承城市：加强对城市遗产的理解”国际研讨会2016年在台北召开
International Conference Announcement and Call for PapersInheriting the City: Advancing Understandings of Urban HeritageIronbridge International Institute of Cultural Heritage, University of Birmingham and National Taiwan University31 March - 4 April 2016, Taipei, TaiwanIn the context of rapid cultural and economic globalisation, over half of the World’s population now live in urban areas. Through rural migration, new economic opportunities and enhanced global mobilities, cities and towns have expanded dramatically resulting in challenges to their character and identity. Visible changes in skylines and boundaries are also accompanied by less obvious shifts in how cities preserve, present and promote their pasts and traditions against fierce and competitive demands for space. Urban heritage, as the valued tangible and intangible legacies of the past, would appear to be an increasingly important asset for communities and governments alike, allowing cities to mark their distinctiveness, attract tourists and inward investment and, retain a historical narrative that feeds into the quality of life. At the same time, new heritage – the heritage of the future - is being created in cities and towns. This reflects the patterns and trends of wider economic, social and cultural change and is resulting in ‘starchitecture’ and new iconic structures, but also in small scale interventions whereby communities are creating and nurturing buildings, objects, spaces and practices that have meaning and value to them.This conference seeks to examine the processes of protecting, planning and promoting urban heritage in the face of on-going changes, pressures and opportunities at the global and the local level. We wish to better understand the ways in which heritage can be mobilised in the development of city well-being and the changing approaches to how it is managed, taking into account issues of ownership, responsibility, local and national economies and identities. Critically we address the question of long term sustainability and pose the question of what will future residents, communities and tourists inherit from their towns and cities? The Conference aims to provide critical dialogue beyond disciplinary boundaries and we invite papers from all disciplines and fields including: anthropology, architecture, archaeology, art history, cultural geography, cultural studies, design, ethnology and folklore, economics, history, heritage studies, landscape studies, leisure studies, museum studies, philosophy, political science, sociology, tourism studies, urban history, urban/spatial planning.We welcome perspectives on all aspects of urban heritage / heritage in the urban context - world heritage, historic urban landscapes, colonial heritage, religious heritage, intangible heritage and traditions, museum heritage, food heritage etc. Potential themes of interest include: Innovative modalities of protection and planning urban heritage Community approaches to and uses of, urban heritage City based tourism and visitor economies of urban heritage Urban heritage as a form of social resistance Heritage as city memory Cosmopolitan urban heritage and re-creating identities Global and mega-city competition through heritage Revitalising the city through heritage Sub-urban and sub-altern heritage Urban spaces, traditions and intangible heritagePlease send a 300 word abstract of your paper with a clear title and full contact details to ironbridge@contacts.bham.ac.uk as soon as possible.Deadline: 15 October 2015For more information, visit conference website and university official website.

Course on Conservation of Built Heritage 2016Dates: 4 March - 29 April 2016Place: Rome, ItalyBackgroundICCROM is pleased to announce the sixth training course on Conservation of Built Heritage in Rome. ICCROM has been a pioneer in organizing courses in heritage conservation since 1965 including the Architectural Conservation Course (ARC) and many other regular courses and most recently the course on Conservation of Built Heritage for five consecutive intervals since 2007. In designing this course, ICCROM has drawn from this experience, evaluation results and considered the most recent international trends and thinking related to conservation of the built heritage, including buildings, sites, historic centres and cultural landscapes.The course aims at serving a wide range of conservation practitioners and decision makers by placing technical issues within the broader conservation context in order to link them to planning and management concerns. The first part of the course will consist of an overview of the current practices of defining heritage, evolution of different concepts and key approaches currently used in built heritage conservation. The second part of the course will focus on the planning and management issues pertaining to the conservation decision making process. The third part of the course will focus more closely on technical issues including documentation, conditions assessments and various treatments plus interpretation and public access. The final week of the course may be devoted to one-week module on a selected theme related to World Heritage which also has implications on heritage conservation and management in general.ObjectivesAt the conclusion of the course, participants will have a better understanding of critical processes in conservation in order to apply them at the macro/micro levels; improve their strategic planning skills relevant to heritage management; expand their awareness, knowledge, and understanding of current principles and practices in conservation of the built heritage; and enhance skills, judgments, and experience.MethodologyTraining will be based on a multiple activity model including lectures, case studies, practical hands-on exercises, site visits, group work, and classroom discussions. Participants will need to be active and involved during three stages: pre-course preparation, course attendance, and post-course follow-up, networking, and monitoring. During the course, participants will be considered as key resources by sharing their own knowledge and experiences, presenting case studies, participating in course discussions, and participating in group work and hands- on exercises.ParticipantsThe course is open to a maximum of 20 participants with at least four years of experience actively involved in the conservation of built heritage.

波兰国际会议通知-中文
1.会议目标1964年，威尼斯第二次历史建筑建筑师及专家国际会议上通过了一项决议，旨在建立一个国际组织将遗产保护和保存领域的专家学者联系起来。1965年召开的波兰立宪会议上成立了ICOMOS，即国际古迹遗址理事会。因此，2015年是该组织成立的50周年庆。50年以来，ICOMOS已成为世界上最重要的代表遗产保护领域的国际组织，不仅在某些国家发挥重要作用，同时也在国际舞台起到主导作用。一万多遗产保护和保存领域的专家学者参与了ICOMOS活动，成为其下辖110个国家委员会和30个国际科学委员会中的成员。另外，由于组织的国际性特征，使得能对遗产保护问题加以确认、分析和评估。因此，ICOMOS有责任检视当代遗产保护问题，并制定未来发展方针。对任何组织而言，50周年庆都是一个重大的时机来总结过往取得的成绩，并展望未来制定规划；在处理遗产保护问题方面，ICOMOS也 将重点放在了未来规划上。现在，对遗产保护提出了新的、与以往大不一样的要求，人们对遗产及其功能也有了更新层次的理解，因此应仔细斟酌遗产保护的原则及 形式。前文论述表明，整个保护领域的固化模式已有了变化。因此，遗产的未来将是一个开放性项目，迄今为止已得到遗产保护专家认可的文化遗产形式也可能将不 受认可。文化遗产的原则及形式尚未确定下来；一方面这是一个威胁，另一方面，这也是一个机会，可以将遗产保护与当代需求及可能性加以融合考虑。遗产保护专 家应从当代视角理解这一问题。2.大会主题范围值此ICOMOS50周年之际，我们借此机会组织一场讨论。讨论的内容包括当今所面临的遗产保护问题，以及解决这些问题的不同方法。“转型中的遗产。 21世纪的遗产保护 - 问题,挑战及预期”这一国际会议由ICOMOS波兰组织，将于2015年6月22-24日在华沙举办。大会题目中的“转型”有多重含义。换句话说，包括： 在“遗产”内涵理解上的变化, 遗产功能的变化, 遗产保护和保存原则及形式的变化, 遗产保护环境的变化。上述每一方面都意味着较大的转型；每一方面都需要深入分析，都将对文化遗产保护的现有状况造成影响。大会的目标不仅仅是分析现有问题，同时还希望能建立面向未来的诊断分析方法。关于遗产保护，可将过去（如，我们前辈提出的观念）、现在（如，当代面临的问题）及未来（如，解决当代问题的思路以及对未来的展望）综合起来加以考量。为此大会将分为三个会期：1.过去描述过去50年以来（象征性的时间界限）“遗产”及遗产保护概念的变迁。有关遗产及遗产保护的传统理念 – 反思过去的条件作用。过去时期遗产保护方面主要的薄弱环节、失败及成功之处。传统保护理论及保护方法中哪些方面仍较为现代化？2.现在描述文化遗产保护领域面临的现有问题。改变文化遗产保护范式的理由及影响。对遗产及遗产保护的现代化理解。现有条件对遗产保护造成的影响。当代文化遗产保护面临的主要问题、取得的成功以及遇到的挑战。文化遗产目前发挥了哪些功能作用？如何评估文化遗产的复杂价值？3.未来对术语“遗产”、保护环境及机会的未来发展进行预测。应如何区分不同的文化遗产？未来文化遗产保护体系应是什么样的？未来我们需要什么样的保护理论？未来我们需要什么样的遗产？是否需要保护遗产？为成功实现遗产保护，应创造什么样的条件？所提交的每一会期报告应包括完整的章节，即，分析最重要的问题、遗产群体及地区等。报告应对大会议题进行推理并得出结论。我们希望邀请国家委员会、地区及ICOMOS国际科学委员会的所有代表前来参会。3.组织信息 有关会议发言的提案应在2015年2月28日前提交至：icomos50@gmail.com报告摘要不应超过两页。如使用独立要点来阐述摘要信息，将更容易反映报告所讨论的观点。科学评审员将选择适当的报告在会议上加以展示，并使用专题论文的形式进行出版（所出版的会议材料是经评审过的专题论文）。2015年3月20日前将完成报告评审并提供给报告撰写人。免费参会；差旅及住宿费用请自行负担。如需了解更多信息内容，请发送至： icomos50@gmail.com鼓励您提交报告提案，邀请您参加会议，邀请您游览华沙。Bogusław SzmyginICOMOS波兰主席

波兰国际会议通知-英文
1.Aims of the conferenceAt the Second International Congress of Architects and Specialists of Historic Buildings held in Venice in 1964, a resolution was adopted to establish an international organisation associating specialists in conservation and heritage protection. Constituent Assembly held in 1965 in Poland created ICOMOS, International Council on Monuments and Sites. Hence, the year 2015 is the 50th anniversary of establishing this institution.For 50 years ICOMOS has become the most important international organisation representing conservator communities not only in specific countries but also on the international stage. Over ten thousand specialists dealing with conservation and heritage protection are associated by ICOMOS in 110 National Committees and about 30 International Scientific Committees. Moreover, problems arising from heritage protection can be identified, analysed, and assessed due to the international character of this organisation. Hence, ICOMOS is responsible for examining the contemporary issues arising from heritage protection as well as for developing vision for the future.For any organisation, 50th anniversary is a great opportunity to summarise achievements and to prepare future plans; and the future is the most crucial aspect for the institution dealing with heritage protection. The principles and forms of protection have to be carefully considered due to great and radical changes that have been made in protection requirements as well as in understanding the heritage and its function. The foregoing discussion indicates that the paradigm of the entire discipline is being shifted. Hence, the future of the heritage is an open project and the cultural heritage may not survive in forms that have been recognised by heritage protection specialists so far. Principles and forms of the cultural heritage have not been determined; on one hand this fact may be considered a threat, yet on the other hand, it provides us with an opportunity to adapt heritage protection to contemporary needs and possibilities. This issue should be perceived by heritage protection specialists exclusively in this way.2.Thematic scope of the conferenceAs ICOMOS is celebrating its 50th anniversary, it decided to organize a debate not only on contemporary problems faced in heritage protection but also on different ways of solving such issues. The international conference "Heritage in transformation. Cultural Heritage Protection in the 21st Century – problems, challenges, predictions” is organised by ICOMOS Poland and will be held in Warsaw on 22-24 June 2015.The term transformation, which is used in the conference title, has multiple meanings. Namely, the transformation consists in: changes in understanding the term heritage, changes in functions fulfilled by the heritage, changes in principles and forms of conservation and heritage protection, changes in circumstances in which the heritage is protected.Each of the aforementioned aspects involves radical transformations; each of them needs to be analysed and each of them exerts influence on the current situation of cultural heritage protection.The conference aims not only at analysing the existing problems but also at establishing diagnoses of the future. With respect to heritage protection, a full overview can be provided by juxtaposing the past, i.e. views put forward by our predecessors, with the present, i.e. contemporary problems, and with the future, i.e. ideas for resolving the contemporary problems and for developing the vision of the future. Hence, the conference will be divided into three sessions.1. The pastDescription of changes in the term heritage and the concepts of heritage protection in the last 50 years (symbolic time limits).Traditional concept of the heritage and its protection - reflection of the past conditionings.The main weaknesses, failures, and successes in heritage protection in the last period.What elements of the traditional conservation theory and what forms of protection are still up-to-date?2. The presentDescription of the contemporary problems faced in cultural heritage protection.Reasons for and consequences of implementing changes in the paradigm of cultural heritage protection.Modern understanding of the heritage and heritage protection.Influence that current conditionings exert on heritage protection.The main problems, successes, and challenges in contemporary cultural heritage protection.What functions are currently fulfilled by the cultural heritage?How should the complex value of the cultural heritage be estimated?3. The futureDevelopment predictions of the term heritage as well as protection conditions and opportunities.How should the cultural heritage be differentiated?What should the cultural heritage protection system look like in the future?What conservation theory will be needed in the future?Will the heritage be needed in the future?Will we need heritage protection?What conditions ought to be created for protecting the heritage successfully?Papers submitted for each session should have overall character, i.e. analyse the most important problems, heritage groups, and regions. The papers should include deductions and conclusions significant for the topics covered at the conference.We would like to invite all representatives of National Committees, Regions, and ICOMOS International Scientific Committees to participate in the conference.3.Organisational information Proposals for conference speeches should be submitted no later than 28 February 2015 to:icomos50@gmail.comPaper summaries should not exceed 2 pages. Summaries presented in the form of separate points will make it easier to convey the ideas discussed in papers.Scientific reviewers will select papers to be presented at the conference and published in monograph (conference materials will be publish in a form of reviewed monograph).Paper authors will be provided with reviewers decisions no later than 20 March 2015.Participation in the conference is free of charge; participants cover their travel and accommodation costs.Questions concerning additional information should be sent to: icomos50@gmail.comWe would like to encourage you to submit your paper proposals,We invite you to participate in the conference,We invite you to visit Warsaw.Bogusław SzmyginICOMOS Poland President

红河哈尼梯田文化景观可持续发展国际学术研讨会召开
由国家文物局和云南省政府主办，云南省文化厅、红河哈尼族彝族自治州人民政府承办、中国古迹遗址保护协会承办的“红河哈尼梯田文化景观可持续发展国际学术研讨会”于2014年10月30日在云南蒙自召开。文化部副部长、国家文物局局长励小捷、云南省副省长高树勋、红河州州长杨福生、联合国教科文组织代表汉斯以及联合国教科文组织前助理总干事班德林到会致辞。来自国际古迹遗址理事会、国际文物保护与修复研究中心、文化景观、历史村镇国际、和传统建筑国际科学委员会、联合国二类培训中心的代表，以及德国、挪威、西班牙、南非、日本、韩国、菲律宾、泰国、越南、马来西亚、中国的近百名代表参加会议。会议于10月31日结束，并通过了《梯田景观可持续发展的红河倡议》。红和哈尼梯田文化景观世界遗产于2013年联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会第37届会议上列入《世界遗产名录》。此次会议是根据会议决议召开，旨在研讨梯田文化景观的可持续发展，与亚洲类似遗产地共享保护和管理经验。会前代表们参观了红河哈尼梯田文化景观，与遗产地管理者和当地居民进行了交流。以下为红河倡议书中英文原文：关于梯田文化景观可持续发展的红河倡议我们，来自联合国教科文组织、国际古迹遗址理事会、国际文物保护与修复研究中心和遗产地社区的代表，以及来自相关国际专业机构和亚洲各有关国家的专家，回顾联合国教科文组织第37届世界遗产委员会会议有关决议（Decision: 37 COM 8B.24）：“考虑组织一次梯田景观管理国际研讨会，以便将红河哈尼梯田可持续管理方面所做的工作，分享给亚洲其他面临类似挑战的遗产地”；感谢中国国家文物局和云南省人民政府主办本次国际研讨会，感谢中国古迹遗址保护协会、云南省文化厅、红河哈尼族彝族自治州人民政府和元阳县人民政府为会议圆满举办付出的努力，以及哈尼族人民的热情款待和他们对这一处独特文化景观和世代家园的守护。经过现场考察和学术研讨，我们认为：梯田文化景观是一类特殊的农业生态系统，实现了人类与自然之间的微妙平衡。梯田文化景观是在认识人类与特定环境之间相互关系的基础上，通过千百年来对农耕实践的不断摸索和完善所创造出来的产物。这种农耕实践，包括对物种、耕作方式和自然环境的保护，并通过知识体系、民间信仰和风俗习惯得以固定，成为世代相传的文化传统。梯田文化景观反映出人类顺应自然、利用自然、与自然和谐相处的智慧，体现了人类创造力、耐受力和意志力，对当今保护文化和自然的多样性以及人类的可持续发展有着重要的示范作用。梯田文化景观的保护，不仅要保护其物质形态，更要保护支撑其物质形态的传统知识体系。我们认识到，梯田文化景观保护面临着环境威胁，以及在全球一体化背景下的社会文化和经济挑战，包括：现代农业生产工具和技术以及高产作物的引入，可降低劳动强度，但同时可能对土地的可持续利用与生态系统的维系构成威胁；生活方式的改变，可能使年轻人逐渐流向城市，由此造成农业劳动力资源匮乏，并导致知识体系、民间信仰和风俗习惯改变，对文化认同带来冲击；失控的旅游业和无序的基础设施建设，可能对当地生态系统带来压力，并对传统文化造成负面影响。为保证梯田文化景观的可持续发展和当地独特文化传统的延续和传承，我们倡议：1. 坚持“以人为本”的全面、可持续发展观。尊重当地居民渴望发展、享受幸福生活的权利，完善基础设施，提高教育和医疗水平，改善生活条件；尊重并保障当地居民参与决策的权利，支持他们在梯田文化景观可持续发展中发挥主要作用。2. 保护并发展传统特色农业经济，提高当地居民的生活水平。鼓励居民创建符合自身利益的经济模式，推动农产品销售，增加农产品附加值，提高当地居民收益，吸引年轻劳动力回流从事农业生产。3. 尊重知识体系、民间信仰和风俗习惯。建立非物质遗产传承机制，加强和引导社区文化活动，维护当地传统，珍视社区认同，延续文化生态。4. 保护自然和人文环境。加强可持续生态旅游管理，科学评估游客承载力，制定旅游设施标准，促进旅游收益回馈梯田文化景观保护并惠及当地民众。5. 加强能力建设。开展遗产保护、监测、管理、研究、展示、宣传、教育等方面的学术交流和人员培训。6. 鼓励亚洲国家之间的交流与合作。共享遗产保护和管理经验，共同应对挑战，实现梯田文化景观的可持续保护、管理与发展。红河哈尼梯田可持续发展国际学术研讨会全体代表2014年10月31日 中国 云南 红河Honghe Recommendations on the Sustainable Development ofTerraced Cultural landscapesWe, the representatives from UNESCO, ICOMOS, ICCROM, local communities, and experts from other international organizations concerned, as well as from related countries of Asia:Recalling the Decision by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee at its 37th session (Decision 37 COM 8B.24) that “consideration is given to arranging an international workshop on the management of extensive terraced landscapes so that the work done on putting in place sustainable management of the Hani Honghe terraces might be shared with other properties in Asia that face similar challenges”;Expressing our appreciation to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage of the People’s Republic of China and the People’s Government of Yunnan Province for hosting this workshop, and to ICOMOS China, Yunnan Provincial Bureau of Cultural Heritage, Honghe Hani and Yi People’s Autonomous Prefecture and Yuanyang County Government, for all their contributions to the success of this event, and to the Hani people for their warm hospitality and for their custodianship of the unique cultural landscape that is their home;Based on the site visit and workshop discussion:ConsideringThat the terraced cultural landscape is a special type of agricultural ecosystem that maintains the delicate balance between man and nature.That the terraced cultural landscape is the result of particular local farming methods and associated practices derived through centuries of selection and refinement based on people’s relationship with the unique natural environment.That these farming and associated practices, including the protection of crop species, cultivation methods and the natural environment, have been cast into knowledge systems, folk beliefs and customs and passed down from one generation to another as cultural traditions. Recognizing that the terraced cultural landscape embodies the human response in adapting to, utilizing and maintaining a harmonious co-existence with nature; and that it reflects the creativity, endurance and willpower of human-kind, which sets a profound exemplar for today’s protection of both the cultural and natural diversities and sustainable development.Affirming that protecting the terraced cultural landscape means not only retaining its physical form, but also safeguarding the traditional knowledge systems that underpin its structure.Acknowledging that the protection of terraced cultural landscapes is faced with environmental threats, and in the context of globalization, socio-cultural and economic challenges such as: The introduction of modern tools and technology for agricultural production and the use of high- yield crop varieties can substantially reduce labour intensity but may at the same time threaten a sustainable way of land use and the maintenance of the ecosystem; Changes in lifestyle may lead to the exodus of young people to the urban areas with the subsequent loss of labour to the farmland, which may subsequently impact on cultural identity with a change to knowledge systems, folk beliefs and customs; Uncontrolled tourism and unregulated infrastructural development may put pressure onto local ecosystems and adversely affect traditional culture.For the sustainable development of terraced cultural landscapes and continuation of the unique local cultural traditions;We recommend that:1. People-oriented inclusive sustainable development should be pursued by respecting the right of local people for development and the leading of a dignified life, with their living conditions effectively improved through the upgrading of infrastructure and the level of education and health care; by respecting the local communities’ right of involvement in decision-making processes, and by supporting their leading role in the sustainable development of terraced cultural landscapes;2. The traditional agricultural economy with its local characteristics should be protected and developed to improve the life of the local population. The income of local farmers should be increased by encouraging the establishment of commercial systems in the interest of local populations, by facilitating the sales and by enhancing the added value of their agricultural products, as well as attracting young people to return to their farm land;3. Knowledge systems, folk beliefs and customs should be respected. Mechanisms for passing on intangible heritage should be established to enhance and guide local communities’ cultural activities, safeguard local traditions, value community identity and sustain cultural ecology; 4. Natural and cultural environments should be protected by sustainable eco-tourism management, based on, amongst others, a carrying capacity study, the criteria for the introduction of tourist facilities, and the feeding back of revenue generated from tourism both into the conservation of the landscape and to the local population;5. Capacity building at all levels should be strengthened through academic exchange, as well as the training of staff, on conservation, monitoring, management, research, presentation publicity and education;6. Exchanges and cooperation amongst Asian countries should be encouraged in order to share expertise, to address challenges with concerted efforts, and to achieve sustainable conservation, management and development of terraced cultural landscapes.Issued by all the participants of the International Workshop on the Sustainable Development of the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, in Honghe, Yuannan, China, on October 31, 2014附件下载：红河倡议.pdfHonghe Recommendations.pdf
