Project Rationale Cambodia's waters support a rich and abundant marine life including coral reefs, seagrass meadows, extensive mangrove forests and threatened species. Years of political turmoil and economic instability have resulted in a lack of financial and human resources within research and government institutions to implement effective conservation measures. In the face of major threats including overfishing and poorly planned coastal development, the need to protect Cambodia’s waters and the local communities who rely on them has never been so high.

Hawksbill turtles are seen to migrate to the beach of Koh Ses in the middle of September to lay its eggs.

  • 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.
