Abstract (in English)

PART 1. ADOPTING A LANDSCAPE APPROACH - Strategies for Managing Multiple Values of Large Landscapes and Trans-Boundary Sites /// Multi-site (serial) World Heritage nominations have become more common in recent years. Such nominations present unique challenges to stakeholder engagement, interpretation, and site buffering because nomination components are often geographically separated and isolated. Ongoing work on the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks nomination in Ohio, United States, shows that a World Heritage nomination’s Outstanding Universal Value can be the source of landscape themes that help overcome these challenges. Working with the themes water/earth/sky/ journey, this case study shows how these ancient landscape themes reframe relationships among World Heritage nomination components, between those components and other culturally related sites, among stakeholders, and between the World Heritage project and potential partners. These reframed relationships offer solutions to pressing World Heritage serial nominations challenges.
