Keywords:
Delisted World Heritage Sites, World Heritage Management, Urban Conservation, Urban DevelopmentAbstract
The Study of Urban Management and World Heritage Sites: Synthesis of Delisted World Heritage Sites aims to 1. to examine the Delisted World Heritage Sites by UNESCO and 2. to determine the common and varied consistency of Delisted World Heritage Sites through a comparative research approach. By qualitative research: comparative study methods, descriptive analysis, and synthesis data to recommend the lesson learned for World Heritage management.
The research findings revealed that a total of 4 World Heritage sites have been delisted by UNESCO from the past until the present. These comprise 3 fully delisted natural heritage sites, namely the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in Oman, and 2 cultural heritage sites, namely the Dresden Elbe Valley in Germany and the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City in the United Kingdom. Additionally, there is one partially delisted world heritage site, the natural heritage site of the Bagrati Cathedral in Georgia.
The delisted world heritage sites exhibited variations in similarities and differences based on a comparative study considering (1) the type of world heritage site, (2) the registration criteria for world heritage sites, (3) significant impacts, and (4) key issues related to management. It was found that the predominant management focus is on the spatial management aspects by government entities, involving large-scale national and local projects, as well as state agencies associated with the preservation and sustainable development of world heritage sites.
