World Heritage 35 COM World Heritage 35 COM Distribution Limited WHC-11/35.COM/8A Paris, 6 mai 2011 Original: English/French UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATION CONVENTION CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF THE WORLD CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE Thirty-fifth session Paris, UNESCO Headquarters 19 – 29 June 2011 Item 8 of the Provisional Agenda: Establishment of the World Heritage List and of the List of World Heritage in Danger 8A. Tentative Lists submitted by States Parties as of 21 April 2011, in conformity with the Operational Guidelines SUMMARY This document presents the Tentative Lists of all States Parties submitted in conformity with the Operational Guidelines as of 21 April 2011 and subject to the procedure requested in Decision 31 COM 8A.3. The World Heritage Committee is requested to note that all nominations of properties to be examined by the 35th session of the Committee are included in the Tentative Lists of the respective States Parties. • Annex 1 presents a full list of States Parties indicating the date of the most recent Tentative List submission; • Annex 2 presents new Tentative Lists (or additions to Tentative Lists) submitted by States Parties since the last session of the World Heritage Committee; • Annex 3 presents a list of all properties submitted on Tentative Lists received from the States Parties, in alphabetical order. Draft Decision: 35 COM 8A, see Point II I. Examination of Tentative Lists 1. The World Heritage Committee requests each State Party to submit an inventory of the cultural and natural properties situated within its territory, which it considers suitable for inscription on the World Heritage List, and which it intends to nominate during the following five to ten years. The purpose of these inventories, also known as Tentative Lists, is to enable the World Heritage Committee to evaluate, within the widest possible context, the “Outstanding Universal Value” of each property nominated to the List. At its 24th session (Cairns, 2000), the Committee confirmed the importance of these Lists for planning purposes, comparative analyses of nominations and for facilitating the undertaking of global and thematic studies. It also decided that inclusion in the Tentative List would be mandatory for all properties which the State Party intends to nominate for inscription on the World Heritage List. 2. In considering the use of Tentative Lists as a means for achieving the objectives of the Global Strategy, the Special Expert Meeting on “The Concept of Outstanding Universal Value”, Kazan, Russian Federation, (April 2005), recommended that: • States Parties should each establish a coordination mechanism with an interdisciplinary composition to undertake and oversee effectively the implementation of the World Heritage Convention and the preparation and review of Tentative Lists in particular; • Tentative Lists should be seen as part of the effort of conservation of national heritage; • Properties on Tentative Lists should have national and/or other appropriate recognition; • Compilation of Tentative Lists should involve local communities and indigenous peoples and should include public consultation where appropriate; • The compilation of Tentative Lists should take account of the Global Strategy, comparative studies and the Advisory Bodies gap analysis; • The preparation of Tentative Lists should have due regard to other international conventions and programmes; • In preparation of their Tentative Lists, States Parties should be rigorous in their local evaluation to ensure that expectations of inscription match reality; • The size of a Tentative List should take into account the Cairns-Suzhou decision (Decision 28 COM 13.1) and the 10 years cycle of the Tentative List recommended by the Operational Guidelines (paragraph 65); • The comparative analysis should be developed by regions and themes; • Regional meetings on harmonization of Tentative Lists should identify types of properties for nomination in a given region, and those for possible inclusion as transnational and transboundary properties; • The Advisory Bodies should complete their thematic studies and initiate and facilitate appropriate regional and comparative studies as soon as possible and in a Tentative Lists submitted by States Parties as of 21 April 2011 WHC-11/35.COM/8A, p. 1 time scale to allow States Parties to identify categories and themes of heritage that are relevant for completion of all Tentative Lists in 2007 and the revision of existing Tentative Lists; • States Parties with no Tentative Lists should be encouraged to request preparatory International Assistance if necessary for preparing their Tentative List; • The Advisory Bodies, within their available resources, should comment on the Tentative Lists of all States Parties upon request; • The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies should provide a compilation of best practices and publish a number of training manuals; • The World Heritage Centre should prepare a handbook to inform property owners and stakeholders about the process and requirements for inscription on the List of World Heritage, and to clarify expectations concerning the benefits and commitments that may result from being inscribed as a World Heritage property. 3. Additionally, the expert meeting on “Upstream processes to nominations: creative approaches in the nomination process” held in Phuket, Thailand (April 2010) also stressed the significant role of Tentative Lists in the nomination process. While agreeing that the Tentative Lists are an important part of the process required before submission of a nomination, they also play a variety of other separate, but mutually compatible, roles. The experts concluded that processes related to Tentative Lists could be refined to provide States Parties with opportunities for further guidance and that benefits should also be derived from the harmonisation processes. The expert meeting identified a need to explore ways to offer, on a voluntary basis, assistance to States Parties by enabling the Advisory Bodies to provide advice concerning the prioritisation of properties on a State Party’s Tentative Lists. 4. As of 21 April 2011, of the 187 States Parties which have ratified the Convention, 167 had submitted Tentative Lists in accordance with the requirements specified in the Operational Guidelines, 20 States Parties had not submitted any Tentative List. All the nominations submitted for examination in 2011 (see Document WHC-11/35.COM/8B) are included on the Tentative Lists of the States Parties concerned. 5. In conformity with Committee Decision 27 COM 8A, paragraph 4, this document presents the Tentative Lists submissions received since the last session of the World Heritage Committee in a separate annex. Since the 34th session of the Committee, 34 States Parties have submitted new Tentative Lists or modified existing Lists. The number of new properties added to existing Tentative Lists is 72. These properties are presented in Annex 2 of this document. 6. In conformity with Committee Decision 7 EXT.COM 4A, properties already inscribed on the World Heritage List were removed from the Tentative Lists of States Parties. 7. In conformity with the Committee Decision 27 COM 8A, paragraph 5, the complete Tentative Lists of all States Parties are accessible to the public at the following web address of the World Heritage Centre: http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists. 8. Moreover, the World Heritage Committee invites States Parties, which have not yet done so, to submit as early as possible Tentative Lists in accordance with the Operational Guidelines. Preparatory assistance can be provided if necessary and requested by the State Party concerned. Tentative Lists submitted by States Parties as of 21 April 2011 WHC-11/35.COM/8A, p. 2 II.

Adapun cita-cita menulis buku ini, telah lama kami canangkan, sekitar tahun 2005 yang lalu. Namun karena sulitnya mengumpulkan materi-materi yang akan diajangkau, yakni begitu ekstensif dan luasnya bahan yang mesti dicapai, juga materi yang dikaji di bidang kesenian meliputi seni-seni: musik, tari, teater baik yang tradisional. Sementara latar belakang keilmuan kami pun, baik di strata satu dan dua, umumnya adalah terkonsentasi di bidang etnomusikologi dan kajian seni pertunjukan yang juga dengan minat utama musik etnik. Hanya seorang saja yang berlatar belakang akademik antropologi tari. Selain itu, tim kami ini ada dua orang yang berlatar belakang pendidikan strata dua antropologi dan sosiologi. Oleh karenanya latar belakang keilmuan ini, sangat mewarnai apa yang kami tulis dalam buku ini. Adapun materi dalam buku ini memuat tentang konsep apa itu masyarakat, kesenian, dan Indonesia—serta terminologi-terminologi yang berkaitan dengannya seperti: kebudayaan, pranata sosial, dan kelompok sosial.

    The Republic of Indonesia Territorial Atlas as Geo-literation Tools for the Adolescents a,* b,* c d Fakhruddin Mustofa , Ellen Suryanegara , Niendyawati , Mulyanto Darmawan a Geospatial Information Agency, The Republic of Indonesia, [email protected] b Geospatial Information Agency, The Republic of Indonesia, [email protected] c Geospatial Information Agency, The Republic of Indonesia, [email protected] d Geospatial Information Agency, The Republic of Indonesia, [email protected] * Corresponding author Abstract: As an independent country and has a long history that forms The Unitary State of The Republic of Indonesia, introduction to the territory and history is very necessary for Indonesia's young generation, especially for adolescents. Various efforts were made by the Government of Indonesia to provide a territorial comprehension in order to make the younger generation understand about the circumstances of their country. One effective way is through Territorial Atlas of The Republic of Indonesia, which is the result from collaboration project between Geospatial Information Agency and Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia. This atlas is intended towards the benefit of teenage children, who are taking middle education level between the ages of 12-15 years. It is necessary for children at that age to be equipped with spatial intelligence related to the territorial comprehension of Indonesia, the historical development of the Republic of Indonesia, and also the natural resources potential of their country. This comprehension is needed considering that adolescence is a vulnerable age who require self-actualization, so they need to get a correct understanding of the NKRI region in order to foster the sense of nationalism.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

This is a modest one-nave building with an entrance on the west and the apse on the east side. In order to explain a large deviation of the longitudinal axis of the church from the south- east direction, the following has been done: 1) deviation of the longitudinal axis of the church from the east direction (24o to the NE) was accurately measured; 2) a corresponding sector of true horizon of the church was constructed in the orthographic transverse map projection; 3) the position of the point where ends the line of observation in the vertical axis of the church and the position of the point of actual Sunrise of Summer Solstice were determined topographically on the true horizon. Since the distance between these points is about 1.5o, it can be said that the proto- master probably founded the Church St Nicholas on the basis of Summer Solstice. A direct check made on 21st of June, 2011 confirmed the accuracy of the applied method. Key words: mathematical geography, archeoastronomy, church orientation, the St Nicholas’ church, the Studenica monastery Introduction In the Serbian monastery Studenica, thirty meters southeast of the Virgin Church (Fig.
