Angkor Living with Heritage Project |
|
|
|
|
|
APSARA, the Cambodian ‘Authority for the Preservation and Safeguarding of Angkor and Surrounding Areas’, is committed to conservation, developing a range of projects which seek to protect Angkor’s heritage while considering issues of contemporary sustainability.
The Living with Heritage Project is a collaborative effort between APSARA, UNESCO, the École française d’Extrême-Orient, Godden Mackay Logan and other project partners arising from the Greater Angkor Project, which itself has contributed to recent reappraisal of Angkor through archaeological survey, excavation, remote sensing and aerial and satellite imagery survey and related techniques.
The aim of the Living with Heritage Project is to adopt spatial analysis and mapping approaches along with other sources of information to identify:
• key elements of cultural significance of the Great City of Angkor;
• issues and threats which affect their conservation; and
• policies and tools, including specific databases, required to ensure the ongoing conservation of these values.
Recent research and consultative work undertaken by APSARA through the Living with Heritage Project shows that the Great City of Angkor is not only a vast archaeological landscape, but is also the continuing home to hundreds of thousands of Khmer who not only make an invaluable contribution to the area’s sustainable management but, through cultural and religious practices, actually enhance the heritage significance of the place.
The Heritage Values and Issues report provides a synthesised set of preliminary results from the Living with Heritage review, research and consultation process. The volume offers a philosophical background for the GIS components of the Living with Heritage Project, as well as a reference document for ongoing site management.
The Heritage Values and Issues report has been prepared using the skills and expertise of the Living with Heritage team, APSARA personnel and external experts.
Copyright in this work vests in the authors of individual sections and the Living with Heritage Project Partners, as explained in the report itself.
