Chapter 6 Inclusion and Exclusion
CHAPTER 6 INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION 6.1 Introduction With the expanding influences of heritage management affirming the role of interpretative and associative spaces, it is argued in this research that the boundaries and relationships between heritage scales are being redrawn. This thesis has illustrated in the previous two chapters how heritage and heritage management practices at Angkor have been framed and abstracted within politically and socially constructed scales. This chapter considers how the social construction of heritage scales to facilitate heritage management and other control mechanisms influences the material qualities of heritage space through the inclusion and exclusion of aesthetics, behaviours and people. This will allow consideration of the relationships between scales, through their shifting boundaries. This chapter will illustrate the need to incorporate wider understandings of the geographical and cultural landscape into GIS‐based management systems. In exploring spatial and aesthetic perceptions of the Angkor landscape, consideration will be given to how boundaries are constructed spatially through the presence, or absence, of certain land uses. In particular, this chapter will discuss the construction of a ‘scale of modernity’ which functions as a counterpoint to the scaling of valued spaces. The scale of modernity comes about through a discourse within heritage management that ‘boxes’ off non‐heritage space, in particular juxtaposing heritage with the modern, often negatively. At Angkor it is the urban spaces of Siem Reap which have been excluded from valued and interpretative spaces, and subsequently can be seen as defined as within a scale of modernity. Through a comparison of urban and rural land covers, the consequences for landscape management of ontological differences between stakeholders are highlighted.

Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park the Complete Temple Guide
Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park The Complete Temple Guide 1 The Temples of Angkor Ak Yom The earliest elements of this small brick and sandstone temple date from the pre-Angkorian 8th century. Scholars believe that the inscriptions indicate that the temple is dedicated to the Hindu 'god of the depths'. This is the earliest known example of the architectural design of the 'temple-mountain', which was to become the primary design for many of the Angkorian period temples including Angkor Wat. The temple is in a very poor condition. Angkor Thom Angkor Thom ("Great City") was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. The walled and moated royal city covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north. Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride. Angkor Thom is accessible through 5 gates, one for each cardinal point, and the victory gate leading to the Royal Palace area. Angkor Wat Angkor Wat ("City of Temples"), the largest religious monument in the world, is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and eventual mausoleum.

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.

In the afternoon, we’ll visit the splendid Royal Palace which was started by King Norodom (1834-1904) in 1886, when the capital was moved to Phnom Penh. French influence can be seen in the formal gardens which enhance the palace, and there are some European-style buildings on the grounds. Continue on to the Silver Pagoda, formerly a wooden building that was rebuilt in 1962 in concrete and marble. It is famous for its 90 kg solid gold Buddha made in 1907 and an emerald Buddha said to be made of baccarat crystal. The next stop will be the National Museum which houses the world's foremost collection of ancient Khmer archaeological, religious and artistic artefacts from the 4th to the 13th centuries. There are over 5000 pieces and is the repository of the Kingdom's cultural wealth. End the afternoon with a visit to the oldest shrine in the city, Wat Phnom. Overnight in Phnom Penh.
