Abstract (in English)

By recognising the importance of a setting or spatial context for heritage sites, the interests of cultural heritage managers often extend beyond the conventionally defined borders inscribed on a heritage list. The impacts of heritage management practices on populations that live within the bounds of heritage sites are understood in broad terms, but the impacts of these processes on the wider area that forms the spatial context of a heritage site remain poorly understood. The Angkor World Heritage Site (Cambodia) is an ideal case study to investigate the implications of spatially contextualising heritage. As a condition of the site’s inscription on the World Heritage List (1992), a modern management scheme was established that sought to create an Angkor ‘experience’. Angkor was contextualised within the wider landscape, in part, by exerting considerable control on post civil-war development outside the confines of the heritage site (primarily the town of Siem Reap). Through the adoption of participatory methodologies and GIS-based spatial analysis that allow integration of local community and management perspectives, the study seeks firstly to define - spatially and descriptively – the setting of the Angkor World Heritage Site. It then explores the implications of heritage management for the modern landscape surrounding Angkor.
