Global, Regional, National and Local Actors, Interplays and Implications Keiko Miura Introduction The study of World Heritage making is highly important today for World Heritage has become a global language, a world of its own, recreating and representing particular cultures, ethnic groups, and/or national icons to be shared universally. This trend has been accelerated through modern media, especially visual media such as TV, films, DVDs and the internet with highly developed technologies and its world-wide distributions and flows. It provides us with a variety of ways to reconstruct, present and represent the past and heritage with particular meanings, especially as World Heritage Sites. The media-production of World Heritage Sites has no doubt contributed to the increase in the interest and the number of tourists to visit and “gaze” real and reconstructed World Heritage Sites simultaneously.

New Chances for Local Farmers and Artisans? Efforts and Strategies to Change the Existing Structures of Tourism Supply in Siem Reap Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin Introduction: World Heritage and “The Lucrative Global Tourism Pie” Studies on the implementation and the effects of monuments listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHSs) reveal that – with only few exceptions – the tourism industry rapidly develops (Hitchcock, King and Parnwell 2010). Tourism is located at the interface between economic development (boosting tourism) and conservation of cultural artefacts (keeping them intact and unaffected by visitors). This convergence is, in many cases, conflicting and paradoxical, and includes Angkor (see Miura 2004 and the chapters by Miura in this volume). Or, as Winter puts it: “Tourism looks in both directions: It restores and promotes the past while promising future prosperity” (2007:2).

  • A STUDY of the NAMES of MONUMENTS in ANGKOR (Cambodia)
    A STUDY OF THE NAMES OF MONUMENTS IN ANGKOR (Cambodia) NHIM Sotheavin Sophia Asia Center for Research and Human Development, Sophia University Introduction This article aims at clarifying the concept of Khmer culture by specifically explaining the meanings of the names of the monuments in Angkor, names that have existed within the Khmer cultural community.1 Many works on Angkor history have been researched in different fields, such as the evolution of arts and architecture, through a systematic analysis of monuments and archaeological excavation analysis, and the most crucial are based on Cambodian epigraphy. My work however is meant to shed light on Angkor cultural history by studying the names of the monuments, and I intend to do so by searching for the original names that are found in ancient and middle period inscriptions, as well as those appearing in the oral tradition. This study also seeks to undertake a thorough verification of the condition and shape of the monuments, as well as the mode of affixation of names for them by the local inhabitants. I also wish to focus on certain crucial errors, as well as the insufficiency of earlier studies on the subject. To begin with, the books written in foreign languages often have mistakes in the vocabulary involved in the etymology of Khmer temples. Some researchers are not very familiar with the Khmer language, and besides, they might not have visited the site very often, or possibly also they did not pay too much attention to the oral tradition related to these ruins, a tradition that might be known to the village elders.

  • Case Study of Fishing Lot No 3 in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia
    Case study of fishing lot No 3 in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia by Chheng Vibolrith Vice Chief of Fisheries Office, Data Supervisor of the MRC/DoF/Danida Fishery Project in Cambodia, Siem Reap Province 1. Introduction Siem Reap province is located in the north-western part of Cambodia. It is one of the six provinces bordering the Tonle Sap Great Lake with 83 km of shore line. The fisheries domain of the province is divided into 7 fishing lots with a total area of 796 km2. Individual lots range from 20 to 300 km2 and are auctioned every two years. One fish sanctuary of 64 km2 is established in the Great Lake to serve as hiding place for fish species that spawn during dry season. The remaining water area (about 900 km2) has open-access for middle scale and small scale fishing activities. The inundated forest is also classified as fisheries domain by the fisheries law. It occupies about 87,500 ha and lies largely within the fishing lots. The flood forests provide critical habitats for spawning, nursery, and are feeding grounds for many species. 2. Objective The objectives of this case study are 1. To identify the current management system of fishing lot. 2. To understand the current participation of villagers in fishing lots. 3. To figure out ways for improving future fisheries management. 3. Methodology A questionnaire was developed and used to collect information concerning the research of the fishing lot system. It was divided into 5 sections: 1. Mapping exercise (this included the drawing of the lot location with the villages in or nearby the lot, flooded forest, rice paddy, the stream and the location of fishing gears used in the lot).
