The influence of economic impact, cultural engagement, and community involvement on tourism sustainability: The role of tourist perception and environmental awareness
Cultural tourism plays a significant role in economic development, community engagement, and sustainability. This study examines the relationships between economic impact, community involvement, cultural engagement, and sustainability indicators to understand their influence on cultural tourism experiences. Using a combination of cluster and convenience sampling, 400 valid responses were collected from tourists visiting cultural destinations. The…
Intrinsic responsible innovation in a synthetic biology research project
This paper presents, from the perspectives of both social scientists and microbiologists, a case study of the implementation and practice of Responsible Innovation (RI) in a UK-based synthetic biology project. We highlight the impact of interdisciplinary working and examine the benefits that arise from creating the time and space for shared reflection on research. Our discussions over the course of the project included concerns about the potentia…
The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in The Asia-Pacific
"The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific revisits the use, growth, and potential of the cultural landscape methodology in the conservation and management of culture-nature heritage in the Asia-Pacific region. Taking both a retrospective and prospective view of the management of cultural heritage in the region, this volume argues that the plurality and complexity of heritage in the region cannot be comprehensively…

Recognising values of China's scenic and historic interest areas as world heritage cultural landscapes: Lushan case study
China’s Scenic and Historic Interest Areas are a major contributor to the State’s World Heritage lexicon. However, understanding of their values has led to confusion internationally and in China, not least with controversy over China’s latest promotion of the Natural Protected Areas System. This paper discusses values of China’s Scenic and Historic Interest Areas from the cultural landscape perspective through an in-depth case study of Lushan. A …
Cultural Heritage Management: International Practice and Regional Applications
Reflections on the practice of Responsible (Research and) Innovation in synthetic biology
This paper is a critical reflection on the concepts of Responsible Innovation (RI) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). We offer an account of the emergence of these related but different accounts of responsible innovation that have recently been adopted by funders. We further report on our exploration of the knowledge and understanding of these concepts through the views of senior scientists involved in synthetic biology research proje…
Preparing interdisciplinary leadership for a sustainable future
Urgent sustainability challenges require effective leadership for inter- and trans-disciplinary (ITD) institutions. Based on the diverse experiences of 20 ITD institutional leaders and specific case studies, this article distills key lessons learned from multiple pathways to building successful programs. The lessons reflect both the successes and failures our group has experienced, to suggest how to cultivate appropriate and effective leadership,…
Cultural landscape meanings. The case of West Lake, Hangzhou, China
In this paper, we examine nuances in ways of seeing and understanding the World Heritage listed West Lake Cultural Landscape, Hangzhou China, through different eyes. The paper briefly introduces the current debate on claimed differences and convergences between Western and Eastern mind sets in heritage conservation and then moves into reviewing the human side of landscape. We then examine the perspectives of international heritage agencies such a…
New Lives, New Landscapes. Landscape, Heritage and Rural Revitalisation: Whose Cultural Values
Worldwide interest in the cultural landscape concept—covering rural and urban spheres—is now a major theme in considerations of the management of cultural heritage places. The roots of this interconnection lie in the social, political and economic relationships between people and landscape which, in turn, is related to how human attachment to landscape plays a major role in determining our sense of place. Notably the fundamental actuality of plac…

The Changing Role of Scientists in Supporting Collaborative Land and Water Policy in Canterbury, New Zealand
In this case study, we examine the role of science and scientists in community-led collaborative policy processes. We outline the shift from science-led linear policy processes to community-led science-informed policy processes. This case study illustrates how practice evolved to ensure that scientists provided reliable, credible, and salient evidence to help community decision-makers. From this experience, a set of principles for scientists work…
Connecting Concepts of Cultural Landscape and Historic Urban Landscape: The Politics of Similarity
This paper projects the concept of cultural landscapes into the realm of urban conservation in the context of the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) paradigm. To do this I take an historical overview of how, during the latter half of the 1980s and early 1990s, academic and professional interest in heritage studies started to embrace the cultural landscape construct. This movement continued through the 2000s with increasing links between theory and pr…
Sharpening the cutting edge: Additional considerations for the UK debates on embryonic interventions for mitochondrial diseases
In October 2015 the UK enacted legislation to permit the clinical use of two cutting edge germline-altering, IVF-based embryonic techniques: pronuclear transfer and maternal spindle transfer (PNT and MST). The aim is to use these techniques to prevent the maternal transmission of serious mitochondrial diseases. Major claims have been made about the quality of the debates that preceded this legislation and the significance of those debates for UK …

The Historic Urban Landscape paradigm and cities as cultural landscapes. Challenging orthodoxy in urban conservation
Today, for the first time in human history, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. According to UN-Habitat, within two decades, five billion people will live in cities. Coincidentally, within the field of cultural heritage conservation, increasing international interest and attention over the past two decades has been focused on urban areas. This is timely because pressure for economic development and for the prioritising of en…

Cultural Mapping: Intangible Values and Engaging with Communities with Some Reference to Asia
The worldwide interest in everyday culture, ways of living and doing things which underpin our sense of place is palpable. We have come to appreciate that there is an abundant culture out there with a rich array of meaning and significance. Nowhere is this more abundant than in Asia where outstanding examples of the continuous living/nourishing tradition of history are part of an intricate and beautiful tapestry of everyday life: the ordinarily s…

Eggs, ethics and exploitation? Investigating women's experiences of an egg sharing scheme
There is a growing global demand for human eggs for the treatment of sub-fertile women and for stem cell-related research. This demand provokes concerns for the women providing the eggs, including their possible exploitation, whether they should be paid, whether they can give properly informed consent and whether their eggs and bodies are becoming commodified. However, few of the debates have benefitted from insights from the women themselves. We…

Cultural landscapes: A Bridge Between Culture and Nature
Cultural landscapes are intended to increase awareness that heritage places (sites) are not isolated islands and that there is an interdependence of people, social structures, and the landscape and associated ecological systems. The paper explores whether the recognition of the 1992 World Heritage Cultural Landscape categories, the IUCN Protected Landscapes and the 2005 merging of cultural and natural criteria for World Heritage purposes have bee…

Cultural heritage management: A possible role for charters and principles in Asia
A number of countries now have charters or principles to underpin approaches to conserving and managing cultural heritage resources. Notably, there is growing interest in their adoption in the Asia‐Pacific region. Paralleling this is the development of university courses in heritage management and tourism in the region. Charters help to define the critical notion of significance which must try to embrace both the tangible and the intangible. Crit…
Cultural Landscapes in Asia-Pacific: Potential for Filling World Heritage Gaps1
World Heritage listing and public presentation for tourism at Asian sites like Angkor has tended to focus on architectural ensembles, notwithstanding archaeological research involving wider aspects of landscape setting. Taking Angkor, Borobudur and Bagan as examples, this paper proposes a critical review of the concept of such heritage places and their interpretation under the wider concept of cultural landscapes replete with extensive intangible…

Historic cultural landscapes and emerging heritage values: And Australian perspective
The theme of the paper is the emergence in Australia of the recognition that rural cultural landscapes are important historical documents and form a significant part of Australia's cultural heritage. Attention is drawn to the special niche occupied by the pastoral landscapes of southeastern Australia through the historical construction of an Australian landscape identity in art and literature. An overview is given of the need to conserve exemplar…
Cultural landscape protection in Australia: The Wingecarribee Shire study
The concept of cultural landscapes as remarkable windows onto the past, and rich historical documents that can be read has gained increasingly wide acceptance in Australia over the past few years. Allied to this, and informing it. is the way in which landscape as a cultural construct plays a major role in attachment to place and sense of Australianness. The understanding of cultural landscapes as a setting where human history is on display is a c…

"Robert Buzzanco's "Fear and (Self) Loathing in Lubbock
This is a response to Robert Buzzanco's article, "Fear and (Self) Loathing in Lubbock," which argued against views expressed by the author about the US-Vietnam War. This essay emphasizes the perspective of anticommunist Vietnamese, suggests a rationale for American policy decisions, and contextualizes the outcome of the war with human choices rather than with a scheme of historical inevitability
