This article addresses the question of how to protect those historical, urban sites, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, from the negative impact of stress, caused by the urban dynamic. We put forward the hypothesis that, as part of a holistic vision of protection, safeguard measures must be integrated into the urban development plans for those towns in which these sites are an integral part. This will avoid conflict between the demands of development, and the safeguard measures. Through the example of the UNESCO site of the Casbah, we will examine the strategy of the PDAU of Algiers, to safeguard of the UNESCO site and its reintegration into the Algiers agglomeration. This article adopts a methodology based on a critical, comparative analysis of the strategic heritage plan, as laid down in the PDAU. It examines the proposed safeguarding measures and evaluates its coordination with the safeguarding plan. An examination of the solutions proposed by the PDAU reveals several morphological weaknesses and contradictory prescriptions, favoring a poor connection between the safeguard plan and the PDAU. Consequently, only an integrated approach to urban conservation will reinforce the protection of the site and ensure its reconnection with the Algiers metropolis.

The Pampulha Modern Ensemble is an urban complex located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, whose metropolitan context is highly problematic due to the pressures of urban dynamics, impacts from urban development and the need to manage changes and preserve architectural and landscape attributes that have led to its recognition as World Heritage. This article is part of a larger study that investigates the community's recognition of the values conferred by experts on that complex's cultural landscape as a world heritage site. Due to the restrictive conditions imposed by the COVID 19 pandemic, an online questionnaire with open access to the general public was used as an instrument for the field research to collect primary data from the community. The analysis of the answers obtained from the questionnaire pre-test, object of this article, demonstrates the recognition of landscape elements and of the Pampulha Modern Ensemble that contribute to its enjoyment and that characterize it as a differentiated landscape in the context of the city.

This research aim to understand the influence of internationalization of the complex social relationships established in the territory and the strategies practiced for development. Bairrada was chosen as the locus of observation, which is one of the Wine Routes of Portugal. For this research, the theoretical-methodological approach was centered on territorial development, considering the endogenous and exogenous typology of actors and agents, the types of actions, the circulation and communication networks, the philosophy of intervention of actions, the space/time relation in the territorialities and developmental relationships. To deepen this analysis and to propose more dynamic developmental strategies it was used the Swot/Tows methodology. The results indicate that the Bairrada territory has shown a positive development, leading to a desirable (normative) and more dynamic development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The increase in cultural tourism has focused on the importance of heritage management and, in particular, the World Heritage Site (WHS) brand. In Coimbra it had a significant contribution to the increase in tourist flow, not only in the University High, but also in the historical urban center. It is precisely in this territory of the city that the performance of the interpreter guide is mostly felt by the requests to which it is subject. Giving importance to the place and with the host community, the role of the guide is highlighted as facilitator of the understanding of the tourist space, cultural mediator and interpreter of the cultural landscape, contributing to the "look" of the tourist. Based on these assumptions, it was considered essential to assess what strategic role the guide activity could play in the development of tourism supply, the enhancement and preservation of heritage. In the performance of its functions the guide is responsible, professionally and ethically, for the preservation, valorization and promotion of the attractions and heritages of the destination. In the present case, the Historical Center of Coimbra/University of Coimbra is the geographical territory under analysis, and it is also proposed to contribute to a reflection on the importance of defining strategies and/or proposals for action that promote the Cultural Heritage of this place, integrated in the tourist destination Coimbra, as main attraction, with the guide interpreter as a vehicle of decisive communication.

The discourse on the Amazon produces a mythical, metaphorically poetic effect, characterized by natural beauty, appropriated by the "official discourse" of environmentalism. The Amazon region has been presented to the world as a stronghold of ecosystems, one with species of living beings that expresses abundant economic potential to meet the wishes of the contemporary capitalist ruse. The historic mineral extraction process also stands out in the region, owing to the fact that commodities are responsible for a large part of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and for Brazilian exports. As a World Heritage Site, the Amazon presents several issues that permeate the relationships of men and women alike, whose lives are impacted, on a daily basis, by the presence of exogenous agents to the region. This study focuses, in particular, on the Brazilian Amazon. To contribute to the debate, we propose such study from the perspective of the Discourse Analysis in order to show the fetishism of exploration within the discourse of/on mining.

The aim of this work is to present a case study on the identification between Romanesque art and national identity in Catalonia, an association that emerged in the framework of the emergence of national movements at the end of the 19th century, but that was recovered a century later when the process for the declaration of the Romanesque churches of the Boí Valley as a world heritage site by UNESCO began. The identification of the Romanesque with a «national art» is reinforced in this case because it is a Romanesque art located in the heart of the Pyrenees, with the strong symbolic value of the mountain as the «cradle» of the Catalan nation. We will analyse the World Heritage process and its effects in the context of a small territory, with a scarce population and dependent to a great extent on the seasonality of tourism.

São Miguel das Missões, in the brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, is a small town that has a world cultural heritage recognized by Unesco. The architectural remnants of the former Jesuit-Guarani village of São Miguel Arcanjo is the landscape of the city, which developed around of the heritage archaeological site. The modern city of today coexists with cultural heritage protected by the State, which enables analyzing it on two aspects: the action of the State in the constitution of identities of the people and the constitution of the city landscape from heritage historic site. After observing photographs of different periods is possible to notice that the visible and the subjective worked and work together in the construction of the place, for about a century of preservationists actions of missionary cultural heritage in the locality.

Situated mid-way along the west coast of Cameroon, the city of Kribi is a crucial location with regard to three aspects: industry, tourism and the environment. This area, endowed with abundant natural, cultural and tourist resources, remains undervalued despite timid initiatives by the local populations and the central administration to develop tourism. This article looks at the challenges of developing tourism around the Lobé Waterfall, a singular geosite at the crossroads of three coastal civilisations (Pygmy, Batanga and Mabi), proposed by the administration of Cameroon in 2006 for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its definitive recognition as heritage is hindered by the prevarications of the decision-makers who favour industrialisation over integrated management and sustainable tourism, as recommended by the UNWTO and the UNIDO via the COAST STEP project. The objective of this text is to analyse the failure of this process, via observations, field work and interviews, taking into account at the same time the introduction of sustainable tourism in this beach area, the contribution of the stakeholders and the problems of development. The information collected provides evidence of the considerable and diversified potential for tourism (natural, cultural and historic) characterised by an attractive physical environment (relief, climate and vegetation) and the existence of motivated populations. However, the emergence of agricultural-industrial, extraction and mining activities, which do not consider the environment and social participation, and the anarchic spatial implementation of tourism, are factors that may compromise future tourism in Kribi and its geosite, with the corollary of the disappearance of the Pygmy culture.

The article presents the case of Gorée and Ilha de Moçambique, two small African islands declared World Heritage Sites for their past history connected to the slave trade and their colonial architecture. They are now cultural tourism destinations but, despite being endowed with a relevant historical and cultural heritage, and their relevance for the African and global history, they haven’t find yet a successful way of promoting their cultural resources as a means to reduce poverty, leaving the poor living conditions of the resident society threaten the very survival of the heritage resources. The article presents the results of two fieldwork missions on the islands conducted by the Author, aimed at showing the weaknesses and strengths of the actual tourist management.
