the Application of the Revised Cultural Criteria of the Operational Guidelines for the Inclusion of Cultural Landscapes on the World Heritage List <br/> <strong>Year:</strong> 1993 <br/> <p><p><strong>XVI.1 </strong>The Committee reviewed document WHC-93/CONF.002/9 and information document WHC-93/CONF.002/INF.4. The Committee recalled the decisions taken at its sixteenth session in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1992 to include cultural landscapes on the World Heritage List, in particular the revision of the cultural criteria of the Operational Guidelines. The Committee took note of the outcome of the expert meeting held in October 1993 in Templin, Germany, at the request of the Committee. The Committee appreciated the organization of the meeting by the World Heritage Centre, assisted by the German Delegation and funded by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, recognized the work carried out, and noted that the revised cultural criteria and the interpretative paragraphs concerning cultural landscapes in the Operational Guidelines were confirmed by the experts. It furthermore noted, that additional information, guidance and advice be provided to States Parties on the subject of cultural landscapes.</p> <p><strong>XVI.2 </strong>The Committee recalled that a specific recommendation by the experts concerning Paragraph 14 of the Operational Guidelines regarding the involvement of people in the nomination procedure was taken into account during the discussion on the revision of the operational Guidelines (see Chapter XIV of this Report).</p> <p><strong>XVI.3</strong> Several delegates stressed the necessity of an increased involvement of regional experts. The Secretariat confirmed that the publication of the report of the expert meeting will also include contributions from regions that were not represented at the meeting, and that in the implementation of the Action Plan for the Future a regional approach will be applied. The Delegate of the Philippines announced that preparations are underway for a regional meeting on cultural landscapes to be held in the Philippines in autumn 1994. The Australian Observer underlined the importance of values of indigenous peoples to be recognized both under natural and cultural criteria.</p> <p><strong>XVI.4</strong> Several delegates complemented the Centre and ICOMOS for the work carried out. The Committee adopted the "Action Plan for the Future", including an amendment proposed by the Delegate of Italy stressing the importance of management experiences on the local and community level (the amended Action Plan is attached as an Annex).</p> <p><strong>XVI.5 </strong>The Committee invited the Centre to undertake the following actions in 1994 and report back to the eighteenth session of the Committee:</p> <ul> <li>initiate comparative regional thematic studies;</li> <li>in line with the decisions taken by the Committee regarding tentative lists (see para XI.6), give priority to the revision of these lists to include cultural landscapes;</li> <li>initiate the development of specific guidelines for the management of cultural landscapes along the lines of the already existing guidelines for cultural World Heritage.</li> </ul> <p><strong>XVI.6 </strong>The Committee commended the regional approach for future evaluations as outlined by the expert meeting, and requested that the World Heritage Centre implements the suggestions and recommendations made.</p> <p> </p></p> <p class="buttons"><a href="/web/20170319170938/http://whc.unesco.org/en/decisions/3376" class="extra_small_button"> Read more ... </a></p> </div> </span> </span></div> <div class=" " style="" id="list-2193"> <img src="/web/20170319170938im_/http://whc.unesco.org/graphics/icons/control_play.png" alt="Show" id="decision2193_img"> <span> <a href="javascript:ToggleDiv('decision2193')">03COM XI.36 Amendments to the criteria for the inclusion of cultural and natural properties in the World Heritage List and Guidelines for the evaluation of Nominations to the World Heritage List by ICOMOS and IUCN </a> <span id="decision2193" style="display:none"> <div class="toggle box"> <strong>Decision:</strong> 03COM XI.36<br> <strong>Title:</strong> Amendments to the criteria for the inclusion of cultural and natural properties in the World Heritage List and Guidelines for the evaluation of Nominations to the World Heritage List by ICOMOS and IUCN <br/> <strong>Year:</strong> 1979 <br/> <p><p>The Committee took note of the typology proposed in Mr. Michel Parent's report.
