English / French World Heritage 37 COM WHC-13/37.COM/8A Paris, 15 April 2013 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-seventh session Phnom Penh, Cambodia 16 - 27 June 2013 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 15 April 2013, 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 15 April 2013 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 37th 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: 37 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. According to paragraph 65 of the Operational Guidelines, States Parties shall submit Tentative Lists at least one year prior to the submission of any nomination. Annex 2A of the Operational Guidelines shall be used as the Tentative List submission format for national future nominations. Annex 2B of the Operational Guidelines shall be used for all transnational and transboundary future nominations, the submission of such Tentative List will be valid only when all the States Parties involved have sent their submissions. 3. 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 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 List 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 Tentative Lists submitted by States Parties as of 15 April 2013 WHC-13/37.COM/8A, p. 1 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. 4. The resource manual “Preparing World Heritage Nominations” may also prove useful for the preparation of Tentative Lists and could be found on the World Heritage Centre’s website: http://whc.unesco.org/en/activities/643/. 5. 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 List. The follow up to Decision 34 COM 12.22 can be found in Document WHC-13/37.COM/9. 6. As of 15 April 2013, of the 190 States Parties which have ratified the Convention, 172 had submitted Tentative Lists in accordance with the requirements specified in the Operational Guidelines, and 18 States Parties had not submitted any Tentative List. All nominations submitted for examination in 2013 (see Document WHC-13/37.COM/8B) are included on the Tentative Lists of the States Parties concerned. 7. 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 36th session of the Committee, 33 States Parties have submitted new Tentative Lists or modified existing Lists. The number of new properties added to existing Tentative Lists is 80. These properties are presented in Annex 2 of this document. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. II. DRAFT DECISION Draft Decision: 37 COM 8A The World Heritage Committee, 1.

  • 6 Dzongs of Bhutan - Architecture and Significance of These Fortresses
    6 Dzongs of Bhutan - Architecture and Significance of These Fortresses Nestled in the great Himalayas, Bhutan has long been the significance of happiness and peace. The first things that come to one's mind when talking about Bhutan are probably the architectures, the closeness to nature and its strong association with the Buddhist culture. And it is just to say that a huge part of the country's architecture has a strong Buddhist influence. One such distinctive architecture that you will see all around Bhutan are the Dzongs, they are beautiful and hold a very important religious position in the country. Let's talk more about the Dzongs in Bhutan. What are the Bhutanese Dzongs? Wangdue Phodrang Dzong in Bhutan (Source) Dzongs can be literally translated to fortress and they represent the majestic fortresses that adorn every corner of Bhutan. Dzong are generally a representation of victory and power when they were built in ancient times to represent the stronghold of Buddhism. They also represent the principal seat for Buddhist school responsible for propagating the ideas of the religion. Importance of Dzongs in Bhutan Rinpung Dzong in Paro, home to the government administrative offices and monastic body of the district (Source) The dzongs in Bhutan serve several purposes. The two main purposes that these dzongs serve are administrative and religious purposes. A part of the building is dedicated for the administrative purposes and a part of the building to the monks for religious purposes. Generally, this distinction is made within the same room from where both administrative and religious activities are conducted.

  • A Historical Background of the Chhoetse Penlop∗ Dorji Wangdi+
    A Historical Background of the Chhoetse Penlop∗ Dorji Wangdi+ The institution of the Chhoetse Penlop (later called Trongsa Penlop) is more than 350 years. It was started by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1647 after he appointed Chhogyel Minjur Tenpa as his representative in Trongsa. This royal institution with a unique blend of mythology and history represents Bhutan’s past. The Trongsa Dzong was founded by Yongzin Ngagi Wangchuk (1517-1554), the son of Lam Ngawang Chhoejay. According to the legend, Ngagi Wangchuk was guided in a vision by Palden Lhamo, the guardian deity of the Dragon Kingdom, to go to a place in central Bhutan which resembled a bow and which was abundant in food grains (mang-dru). The name Mangdey has its origin in this word. Accordingly, Pal Ngagi Wangchuk arrived at Trongsa in 1541 where he took residence in the village of Yueli which was located on the northern hill-slopes overlooking the then bare hillock upon which the Trongsa Dzong is presently located. One night when Pal Ngagi Wangchuk was meditating in Yueli, his attention was drawn by a flicker of light, resembling that of a butter-lamp burning in the open air, at the spot where the present day Goenkhang in the Trongsa Dzong is located. Upon visiting the spot, he was deeply overwhelmed by discovery of Lhamoi Latsho (a sacred lake of Palden Lhamo) and the hoof prints of Palden Lhamo’s steed. In 1543, Pal Ngagi Wangchuk established a small tshamkhang (meditation quarter) in the sacred spot brought ∗ This is a longer version of the paper printed in Kuensel, Vol XIX No.

  • Commission C4 Annual Report 2017
    Commission C4 annual report 2017 Report for the period January to December 2017 The Commission's main achievements during 2017 are as follows. 1 The publication of the second ICOMOS-IAU Thematic Study on astronomical heritage ("TS2"). Heritage Sites of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy in the Context of the World Heritage Convention: Thematic Study no. 2 was published as an e-book in June, in time for the 2017 UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Kraków, and as a paperback in November, in time for the ICOMOS General Assembly in Delhi. ICOMOS Thematic Studies (sometimes produced in co-operation with specialist partner organisations) aim to provide a synthesis of current research and knowledge on a specific theme and/or region, and are useful to State Parties wishing to nominate a heritage property for inscription on the World Heritage List. TS2 examines a number of key questions relating to astronomical heritage sites and their potential recognition as World Heritage, attempting to identify what might constitute “outstanding universal value” (OUV) in relation to astronomy. It represents the culmination of several years' work to address some of the most challenging issues raised in the first ICOMOS-IAU Thematic Study ("TS1"), published in 2010. A particularly complex issue is the recognition and protection of dark skies. Dark sky areas cannot in themselves be considered as potential World Heritage Sites, but TS2 includes a thematic chapter by Michel Cotte of ICOMOS considering a range of ways in which dark sky values can be interrelated with broader cultural or natural values of a place and thereby contribute to its overall cultural or natural value and potential OUV.

  • Exploring the Dragon Kingdom
    EXPLORING THE DRAGON KINGDOM The Essence of Bhutan 13 Nights and 14 Days No treks but plenty of good day hikes Day 1 BANGKOK TO PARO (8000 feet) Today is your flight to Bhutan. As we near Bhutan (and if the weather is clear), we can see the massive peaks of the eastern Himalaya, including Kanchenchunga (third highest mountain in the world) and Bhutan's holy mountain, Chomolhari. Once we’ve completed visa formalities we proceed through customs and immigration and meet our Bhutanese tour leader and drivers in the arrival gate. We drive for about 20 minutes to Zhiwaling Hotel where will be received with a Chipdrel Ceremony (an elaborate Traditional welcome procession). After settling into our comfortable hotel, we’ll drive a short distance up the valley to Drukyel Dzong, the ruined fortress that protected the Paro Valley from Tibetan armies during the 18th century. If the weather is clear, we might have a glimpse of the white pyramid of Chomolhari, rising over the end of the valley. Today being our first day, we will undergo this gentle 30 minutes hike around the ruined Dzong to acclimatize before we return to our hotel. By early evening we return to our hotel for a welcome dinner and a brief trip orientation session. Zhiwaling Hotel Day 2 PARO We have a full day to explore the Paro Valley. Our first stop in Paro is the Ta Dzong (National Museum), a circular fortress that once protected this valley from Tibetan invasion. The impressive watchtower can be seen above Paro Rimpung Dzong, and it commands sweeping views of the valley below.

  • Determination of Temporal Changes in the Sinuosity and Braiding Characteristics of the Kizilirmak River, Turkey
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 24, No. 5 (2015), 2095-2112 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/58765 Original Research Determination of Temporal Changes in the Sinuosity and Braiding Characteristics of the Kizilirmak River, Turkey Derya Ozturk*, Faik Ahmet Sesli Department of Geomatics Engineering, Ondokuz Mayis University, 55139 Samsun, Turkey Received: June 2, 2015 Accepted: July 6, 2015 Abstract In this study, the pattern of the approximately 1,300-km-long Kizilirmak River was recreated in a geo- graphic information system (GIS) environment using data obtained from Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI satellite images from 1987, 2000, and 2013. The temporal changes in the sinuosity and braiding characteristics of the river were determined for the periods 1987-2000 and 2000-13. The right and left shorelines of the Kizilirmak River and the shorelines of islands and bars within the river channel were extracted automatically from the satellite images by integrating the normalized difference water index (NDWI) and modified normalized dif- ference water index (MNDWI). The data required for measuring the sinuosity and braiding characteristics were obtained by evaluating the shorelines in the GIS environment. The braiding index (BI), braid-channel ratio (B), and braiding ratio (BR) were used to determine the braiding of the river, and the sinuosity index was used to determine the sinuosity of the river. The Kizilirmak River was divided into 21 analyzed sections based on the locations of dams. The sinuosity decreased in 15 sections in 1987-2000 and 2000-13. The BI, B, and BR values decreased in 11 sections in 1987-2000 and in 9 sections in 2000-13.

Kilic and A. M. Kilic* Mining Engineering Department, Engineering and Architecture Faculty, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey. Accepted 19 May, 2010 The Salt Lake (Tuz Gölü) is the second largest lake in Turkey and also is one of the greatest salty lakes in the world. Salt Lake has a great salt potential. The salt was produced in large quantities on saltpans in the Salt Lake. In this study, a detailed mineralogical investigation was carried out with salt crust samples and unconsolidated muddy sediments, below the salt crust collected from the Kaldırım Saltpan in the Salt Lake. The salt crust and below the salt crust (1 - 20 cm) evaporate mineralogy were determined by X-ray diffraction method. The analysis results show that the salt crust was in composition of halite, gypsum and kieserite; muddy sediments and below the salt crust which was in the composition of gypsum, magnesite, thenardite, polyhalite, aragonite and montmorillonite. The mineralogical variations of the participated salts indicated that, the chemical compositions of brines vary significantly between the Na-K-Mg-Ca-Cl type and the Na-K-Mg-Cl-SO4 type. Key words: Salt Lake, solar evaporation, evaporates, salt crust, XRD, SEM. INTRODUCTION Sodium chloride, NaCl (halite), the most common only poorly modeled by studying brine evolution in man- evaporite salt, is used in several forms by virtually every made sea water ponds.
