Abstract (in English)

PART 1. ADOPTING A LANDSCAPE APPROACH - Strategies for Managing Multiple Values of Large Landscapes and Trans-Boundary Sites /// This paper outlines the background to the inscription of the English Lake District as a World Heritage Site and a ‘continuing’ Cultural Landscape by UNESCO in 2017. The opportunities, challenges and potential future benefits of the existing partnership based approach to site management are explored, so too the origins of the disconnect in the recent historical management of natural, cultural and landscape assets. This paper describes how this disconnect is now being recognised and addressed by partners through the development of a GIS based toolkit which brings partners together to harmonize their ambitions for the management and care of all types of natural and cultural assets at a catchment or landscape scale. The paper concludes with a short case study looking how through the adoption of a multi-disciplinary partnership based approach, significant landscape scale interventions can be undertaken within sensitive cultural landscapes which retains cultural and landscape significance, while also securing benefits for nature and local communities.
