Sweden ratified the WHC as the 83rd state on 22 January 1985. At ratification it was deemed that the internal legislation would be sufficient to safeguard heritage values for properties considered for nomination. The WHC does not mention buffer zones. As to legal protection, the following articles are of interest. Article 1 points to monuments, groups of buildings and sites of outstanding universal value from a historical, aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological point of view. By necessity, all those objects take up an area. Article 2 places an obligation on state parties to ensure identification, protection, conservation, presentation and transmission to future generations of the heritage within the scope of Article 1. Article 5 (d) defines the obligation as taking appropriate legal, scientific, technical, administrative and financial measures. The Convention cannot be said to spell out in great detail what the obligations are. More detail is provided in the Operational Guidelines, of which the latest issue is from 2 February 2005. Under the Guidelines’ heading II. F Protection and management the following traits could be condensed to describe the objectives of protection. The outstanding universal values should be maintained at the time of the inscription or enhanced in the future (96). There must be long-term legislative, regulatory, institutional and/or traditional protection and management at the national and local levels within adequately delineated boundaries. How protection works must be clearly explained (97). Development and change must not negatively impact the value, integrity or authenticity of the property (98). Boundaries should be drawn to ensure the full expression of these qualities (99). Boundaries for properties nominated as cultural heritage should include all areas and attributes which are a direct tangible expression of the value, as well as areas which in the light of future research possibilities offer potential to contribute to and enhance such understanding (100). Boundaries may coincide with existing boundaries for national parks, reserves etc (102). As for buffer zones, they are defined as areas surrounding the nominated property which has complementary legal and/or customary restrictions placed on its use and development to give an added layer of protection. This should include the immediate setting of the nominated property, important views and other areas or attributes that are functionally important as a support to the property and its protection. The area constituting the buffer zone should be determined in each case through appropriate mechanisms. Details on the 2 size, characteristics and authorised uses of a buffer zone, as well as a map indicating the precise boundaries of the property and its buffer zone, should be provided in the nomination (104). A clear explanation of how the buffer zone protects the property should also be provided and, if no buffer zone is proposed, an explanation of why not should be given (105 - 106). From a regulatory standpoint the need for buffer zones could be questioned. It seems clear that the requirements under paragraphs 96 – 102 cover all necessary aspects of legal protection. A boundary should be set, within which development and change must not negatively impact the value of the nominated property, including its full tangible expressions. What protection then could a buffer zone add, that could not already have been put within these boundaries? The common sense standpoint that the farther you get from the core, the less restriction may be necessary, can, of course, be expressed within the boundaries for the nominated property in itself. It seems to me that the concept of a buffer zone – and the rule there must always be one, unless an exception is particularly argued for – may serve as an attempt at easing the decision making process. To put this point a bit too sarcastically, a buffer zone might also buffer the preservation message. To UNESCO and the heritage community the nominator may say: Look, we have an extensive buffer zone in order to control what is happening even far from the protected heritage core. To land owners, developers and other local interests the message may instead sound: Hey, this is just the buffer zone. Nothing really bad can happen to your projects here. What is basically needed – and paragraphs 96 to 102 cover that need – is an area that is under protection. Within this area you should be able to modify various protective rules to fit the various protective needs, e.g. injunctions on buildings obstructing the view towards the protected monumental core or restrictions on the felling of trees, ground works threatening the archaeological context or other factors that might distract from the heritage value. The fact that this author is far from convinced that buffer zones are needed, cannot cloud that there seems to be a widespread opinion that the concept is indeed useful. And it is used in the legislation with which I am most familiar. Sweden has 14 World Heritage sites, most of them accepted on cultural criteria, a few of them shared with other states. Looking at the Advisory Body’s evaluation one finds that only a few of them have formal buffer zones, and that the information as to what protective regime applies in these is rather scant (in some cases misleading). Some of the evaluations are not accompanied by maps. The Swedish internal legislation applicable to protection of World Heritage properties consists of the following acts. 1. The Environmental Code (SFS 1998:808) gained legal force 1 January 1999. Thus it is a fairly modern legal instrument, working with area protection as a primary tool relevant 3 to world heritage properties. Chapter 7 bears the heading Area protection, and it contains provisions for National Parks (State owned), nature reserves and culture reserves (ownership irrelevant). Culture reserves are meant for the protection of cultural landscapes. The Code is detailed with regard to nature reserves. Restrictions can be placed on the designated area with regard to building rights, erection of fences, storage, digging and extraction of natural resources, cultivation and irrigation, planting and felling of trees, hunting, fishing and the use of pesticides. Access to the area can also be restricted. The owner could be bound to tolerate the building of roads, parking spaces, public foot paths, camping sites, bathing spaces, sanitary installations, etc. Forestry, pasturage and fencing can also be conducted. Corresponding regulatory possibilities are meant to apply to culture reserves. Restrictions on property rights may lead to economic compensation to the injured party, if the restrictions entail a serious impediment to the current use of the property. A nature or culture reserve does not have a buffer zone. There are, however, other provisions in the Environmental Code that serve similar purposes as buffer zones, and have been quoted frequently in the Swedish nominations. National government agencies are charged with monitoring zones of national importance to certain interests specified in the code. Nature and culture conservation are among the enumerated interests. The aim of this kind of very comprehensive zoning is to protect the zones from physical measures that might considerably impair the protected interest. These measures may occur in local

    Research and Information Service Briefing Paper Paper 169/12 03 October 2012 NIAR 513-2012 Eóin Murphy World Heritage Sites – Developments and Delistings 1 Introduction The following paper discusses World Heritage Sites which have undergone development and delisting. 2 Key Points . The Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was adopted by UNESCO in 1972 and allowed Member States to nominate sites of local or national pride to be listed as World Heritage Sites (WHS); . There are currently 962 properties worldwide that meet the necessary criteria, with a further 1,561 tentative sites nominated by UN Member Nations; . Benefits to WHS status includes access to the World Heritage Fund, stimulus to awareness raising and educational initiatives and an enhanced tourism image and profile; . However, there are also costs such as ongoing management costs of up to €173,000 (£150,000) per annum; Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 513-2012 Briefing Paper . The impact of WHS status varies from site to site, with the pre-WHS socio-economic profile of the site having a particular effect. Variables such as pre-inscription status and branding also influence post-inscription success; . A site can be listed in danger of losing its WHS with the World Heritage Committee (WHC) able to intervene to address the situation. Interventions can occur for a number of reasons, including restoring sites following natural disasters or wars; . Initially a site which is in danger of losing its WHS status is identified by UNESCO and placed on the “List of World Heritage in Danger”.

    Abstracts of Reports and Posters Amira Adaileh The Magdalenian site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld The open air site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in Sachsen-Anhalt, Eastern Germany. It was discov- ered in the mid 1950´s in the immediate vicinity of the famous Magdalenian site of Saaleck. Since that time, archaeologists collected over 2000 lithic artifacts during systematical surveys. The technological and typological analyses of the lithic artifacts confirmed the assignment of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld to a late Magdalenian. Furthermore, the investigation of the surface collections brought forward information about the character of this camp site, the duration of its occupation and the pattern of raw material procure- ment. The fact that Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in a region with more than 100 Magdalenian sites fostered a comparison of the lithic inventory with other Magdalenian assemblages. Thus, allowing to spec- ify the position of the Lengefeld collection within the chorological context of the Magdalenian in Eastern Germany. Jehanne Affolter, Ludovic Mevel Raw material circulation in northern french alps and Jura during lateglacial interstadial : method, new data and paleohistoric implication Since fifteen years the study of the characterization and origin of flint resources used by Magdalenian and Azilian groups in northern French Alps and Jura have received significant research work. Diverse and well distributed spatially, some of these resources were used and disseminated throughout the late Upper Paleolithic. Which changes do we observe during the Magdalenian then for the Azilian? The results of petrographic analysis and techno-economic analysis to several archaeological sites allow us to assess dia- chronic changes in economic behavior of these people and discuss the significance of these results.

  • The Cretaceous Corals from the Bisbee Group (Sonora; Late Barremian - Early Albian): Solenocoeniidae
    Cretaceous corals from the Bisbee Group 13 Paleontología Mexicana Volumen 4, núm. 2, 2015, p. 13-24 The Cretaceous corals from the Bisbee Group (Sonora; Late Barremian - Early Albian): Solenocoeniidae Hannes Lösera,* a Instituto de Geología, Estación Regional del Noroeste, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Blvd. L. D. Colosio S/N y Madrid, Col. Los Arcos, 83250 Hermosillo, Sonora, México. * [email protected] Abstract The current work constitutes the third part of the systematic revision about the corals from the Bisbee Group (Late Barremian to Early Albian) and deals with the Solenocoeniidae. This family taxon is applied instead of the poorly defined Cyathophoridae. The family has three genera in the Cretaceous of Sonora: Confusaforma, Cryptocoenia, and Cyathophoropsis. To distinguish samples within the Sonoran fauna and species of this genus, systematic measurements of the corals were taken and statistically analysed. From the Bisbee Group, two Confusaforma, six Cryptocoenia, and one Cyathophoropsis species are here described and illustrated. Most are common Early Cretaceous species with a wide geographic and stratigraphic distribution. Keywords: corals, Scleractinia, Early Cretaceous, Bisbee Group. Resumen El presente trabajo constituye la tercera parte de la revisión sistemática de los corales del Grupo Bisbee (Barremiano temprano a Aptiano tardío), la cual trata sobre la familia Solenocoeniidae, que se ha aplicado en lugar de la familia Cyathophoridae la cual se encuentra mal definida. La familia tiene tres géneros en el Cretácico de Sonora: Confusaforma, Cryptocoenia y Cyathophoropsis. Para distinguir las muestras dentro de la fauna y las especies del género se hicieron mediciones sistemáticas de los corales y se analizaron estadísticamente.

  • Care Robots for an Over-Aging Society: a Technical Solution for Japan’S Demographic Problem?
    Care Robots for an Over-Aging Society: A Technical Solution for Japan’s Demographic Problem? Martin RATHMANN ([email protected]) Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe in a Global Context”, Heidelberg University Abstract Japan has the world's longest life expectancy and highest proportion of older people in its population. As a result, the delivery of old-age care is becoming an urgent and high priority issue for the Japanese government. There is a high demand for care within a society whose population is constantly aging, and within this discrepancy, we have to somehow find a balance. Since the fertility and immigration rates are too low to compensate for the labor shortage, other solutions have to be found for providing care and for sustaining economic power. Japan is known for being a technology-loving country. Since the Meiji restoration (1868-1912), change has been connected with technology. During the period of rapid economic growth, the labor shortage was mainly compensated for by the implementation of industrial robots. There seems to be a positive relationship to technology that goes so far back that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is considering robotics as a possible technical solution for Japan’s social and economic problems that emerged from its demographic transition. After having a closer look at the origins of robots and their cultural embedment in Japan, there will be an examination of robot development for home usage, health and old-age care. Taking a closer look on Japan’s robotic landscape will uncover a variety of developments, e.g.

    A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN AN ERA OF SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING ©2012 Erica Christine Avrami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN AN ERA OF SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING by ERICA CHRISTINE AVRAMI A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy written under the direction of Robert W. Lake and approved by ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Systems Approach to Historic Preservation in an Era of Sustainability Planning by ERICA CHRISTINE AVRAMI Dissertation Director: Robert W. Lake, Ph.D. The public outcry over large scale urban renewal projects of the mid-20th century served a catalytic role in the codification of the modern historic preservation movement in the United States. While theories of heritage and its protection underpinned policy development, the discourse surrounding the loss of historic fabric and the fracturing of communities within American cities played a critical role in the institutionalization of the field. It effectively pitted preservation as a counter movement against the public and private interests seeking social progress through rational planning paradigms. The modern preservation infrastructure – including institutions, legislation, and policies – is now half a century old, but the conceptual dynamics that isolated preservation from other land use decision-making at the juncture of its institutionalization persist. The disjuncture between preservation and broader land use and building policies presents new challenges in light of contemporary sustainability concerns.

A sa dix-septième session à Carthagène, en décembre 1993, le Comité a exprimé sa préoccupation quant au petit nombre de listes indicatives qui répondaient aux exigences stipulées aux paragraphes 7 et 8 des Orientations, et il a confirmé l'importance de ces listes pour la planification, l'analyse comparative des propositions d'inscription et la réalisation des études globales et thématiques. Ces listes constituent en outre un inventaire des biens situés sur le territoire de chaque Etat partie que ce dernier considère comme susceptibles d'être inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Le Comité a également confirmé que les listes indicatives sont obligatoires pour les biens culturels pour lesquels les Etats parties ont l'intention de soumettre des propositions d'inscription sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial dans les cinq à dix prochaines années. 2. En conséquence, le Comité a invité les Etats parties qui ne l'avaient pas encore fait, à soumettre leurs listes indicatives conformément aux Orientations, étant entendu qu’ "une assistance préparatoire sera fournie si nécessaire et à la demande de l'Etat partie concerné".
