ABSTRACT
This newly articulated relatedness of landscapes was largely a result of momentum the preservation movement gained during the 1990s. Consideration of cultural landscapes led to the inclusion of “more diverse worldviews, cultural traditions, and natural resources as yet another realm of determinants of heritage values and management objectives,” particularly at the World Heritage level.2 Establishing itself beyond a fleeting buzzword in the academic and professional arenas over the past two decades, the true value in this concept of cultural landscape lies in its ability to engage the very people who live and work in these places and, even more, whose commitment is vital to their sustainability.
