the Austrian Experience
The „World Heritage Convention“ was adopted in 1972 by the
General Conference of UNESCO with the purpose of selecting
and including in a World Heritage List the „cultural and
natural heritage“ sites considered to be of exceptional
interest and outstanding universal value to mankind. The List
is administered and updated by UNESCO in Paris. The aim of
the Convention is to contribute effectively to the protection of
this „world heritage“ by promoting co-operation among all
nations and peoples.
Currently there are 184 states party to the Convention. A total
of 851 properties in 141 states have been recorded on the
World Heritage List: 660 cultural sites, 166 natural sites and
25 mixed sites (as per 1st January 2008).
Ethiopia acceded to the Convention in 1977
On signing the Convention, each country pledges to protect
and conserve all the sites and monuments within its borders
that are inscribed on the World Heritage List and thus
recognised to be of outstanding universal value. In return,
countries may receive international financial, technical or
consultant services assistance. For this purpose, a World
Heritage Fund has been established. Moreover, a World
Heritage List in Danger (the so-called red list) is to draw the
international community’s attention to endangered world
heritage sites.
Properties will be included in the List only upon nomination
by the state concerned. Each year, no more than 30 newly
nominated sites may be added to the current total of 851. A
World Heritage Committee composed of experts from 21
countries will take the final decision on whether to include or
reject inclusion of a property.
Since the List has constantly grown across years, the 24th
Ordinary Session of the World Heritage Committee in Cairns,
Australia, resolved to limit the annual additions to the list to
30, a rule applicable as of 2003. The focus will be on
nominations by state parties not yet represented by any
recognised world heritage site and on world heritage
categories not represented or underrepresented in the List.
How is the World Heritage Convention working
internationally ?
The political basis are the States Parties:
States Parties have adhered to the World Heritage Convention.They
thereby agree to identify and nominate properties on their national
territory to be considered for inscription on the World Heritage List. When
a State Party nominates a property, it gives details of how a property is
protected and provides a management plan for its upkeep. States Parties
are also expected to protect the World Heritage values of the properties
inscribed and are encouraged to report periodically on their condition. At
their biennal meetings they elect the
World Heritage Committee:
The World Heritage Committee meets once a year, and consists of representatives
from 21 of the States Parties to the Convention elected by their General Assembly.
The Committee is responsible for the implementation of the World Heritage
Convention, defines the use of the World Heritage Fund and allocates financial
assistance upon requests from States Parties. It has the final say on whether a
property is inscribed on the World Heritage List. The Committee can also defer its
decision and request further information on properties from the States Parties. It
examines reports on the state of conservation of inscribed properties and asks
States Parties to take action when properties are not being properly managed.

The administrative work is done by the World Heritage Centre:
It coordinates within UNESCO all matters related to World Heritage.
Ensuring the management of the Convention, the Centre organizes the
annual sessions of the World Heritage Committee and its Bureau,
provides advice to States Parties in the preparation of site nominations,
organizes international assistance from the World Heritage Fund upon
request, and coordinates both the reporting on the condition of sites and
the emergency action undertaken when a site is threatened. It also
organizes technical seminars and workshops, updates the World Heritage
List and database, develops teaching materials to raise awareness among
young people, and keeps the public informed of World Heritage issues.
The advisory bodies to the World Heritage Committee are:
ICOMOS (= International Council on Monuments and Sites),
IUCN (= International Union for the Conservation of Nature), and
ICCROM (= International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and
Conservation of Cultural Property).
* They advise on the implementation of the World Heritage Convention
in the field of their experience.
* ICOMOS and IUCN evaluate properties nominated for inscription and
prepare evaluation reports.
* Monitor the state of conservation of World Heritage Properties

Which properties are in the World Heritage List ?
Cultural Heritage:
• architectural works, works of monumental sculpture and
painting, elements or structures of archaeological nature,
• groups/ensembles of separate or connected buildings, as
well as works of man or the combined works of nature and
of man if these are of outstanding universal value (OUV)
from the historical, artistic, scientific, aesthetic,
ethnological or anthropological points of view.
* this also includes cultural landscapes.
Natural Heritage:
• Natural features consisting of physical and biological
formations or groups of such formations,
• geological formations and areas which constitute the
habitat of threatened species of animals and plants,
• or other precisely delineated natural areas provided that
they are of outstanding universal value from the point of
view of science, conservation or natural beauty.
Criteria for OUV (Outstanding Universal Value)
To be included on the World Heritage List, sites must be of outstanding
universal value and meet at least one out of ten selection criteria:
(i)
(i)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius;
to exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of
time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in
architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or
landscape design;
to bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural
tradition or to a civilization which is living or which has disappeared;
to be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or
technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates (a) significant
stage(s) in human history;
to be an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, landuse, or sea-use which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or
human interaction with the environment especially when it has
become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible change;
to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions,
with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of
outstanding universal significance. (mainly to be only used in
conjunction with other criteria);
(vii)
to contain superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional
natural beauty and aesthetic importance;
(viii) to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's
history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological
processes in the development of landforms, or significant
geomorphic or physiographic features;
(ix) to be outstanding examples representing significant on-going
ecological and biological processes in the evolution and
development of terrestrial, fresh water, coastal and marine
ecosystems and communities of plants and animals;
(x)
to contain the most important and significant natural habitats for insitu conservation of biological diversity, including those containing
threatened species of outstanding universal value from the point of
view of science or conservation.
The protection, management, authenticity and integrity of properties are
also important considerations.
Since 1992 significant interactions between people and the natural
environment have been recognized as cultural landscapes.
How can a property be inscribed in the
World Heritage List ?
Precondition: Tentative List
Each State Party should present a Tentative List to the World
Heritage Centre which contains all propeerties which the
respective Country intends to submit for inscription in the
next years. Only objects out of this list may be submitted.
Year before submission:
Elaboration of a inscription file following the form which
is prescribed in the Operational Guidelines
Year of submission:
• 1st February: submission of inscription file
• World Heritage Centre checks if the submission fulfills the
formal requirements
• Evaluation of the submission by the respective advisory
body including a on site mission.
Year following submission:
Advisory body(ies) elaborate an evaluation report and submit
it to the World Heritage Committee proposing:
• inscription
• referral
• deferral
• refusal
World Heritage Committee decides on inscription at its
annual meeting (mostly following the recommendations of
the advisory bodies).
The whole procedure from submission to inscription lasts at
least 1½ years!
International Working Tools of the Convention:
World Heritage Convention: http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=182
Operational Guidelines: http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=141
Periodic Monitoring:
Reactive Monitoring:
World Heritage List: http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31
National Working Tools of the Convention:
Legislation on different levels (national, regional, local)
Management-Plans of respective sites:
There is no specific receipe for a Management Plan because it depends
on the specific situation of the site. I should like to define it as the sum of
all legislative, administrative and financial/fiscal precautions which are to
be taken in order to guarantee the preservation of the OUV on the one
hand, while enabling a sustainable development on the other.
Best suited as a management concept would be - let us call it a
management facility, as Hans Peter JESCHKE describes it - that would
allow and encourage sensible co-operation between the various
preservation, maintenance and protection planning departments, whereby
the principle central security, or controlling element for uniting local
communities, would be connecting and interlinking of:
• Inventory taking (extensive cultural property and cultural landscape
register)
* Protection (already partly existent in areas such as monument
protection and naturlal protection), and
• Subsidies, or tax incentives.
Monitoring:
Every six years, the States Parties are invited to submit to the
World Heritage Committee a periodic report on the
application of the World Heritage Convention, including the
state of conservation of the World Heritage properties located
on its territories.
Reactive monitoring is the reporting by the World Heritage
Centre, other sectors of UNESCO and the advisory bodies to
the Committee on the state of conservation of specific World
Heritage properties that are under threat.
To this end, the States Parties shall submit to the Committee
through the World Heritage Centre, specific reports and
impact studies each time exceptional circumstances occur or
work is undertaken which may have an effect on the state of
conservation of the property.
Protection by World Heritage Status:
Seen strictly legally, the fact of being a World Heritage Site is
no additional protection – however, its protective effect is
practically based on the fact, that World Heritage Committee
inscribes properties only if they are sufficently protected by
national legislation.
In the case of possible dangers (see „List in Danger“) to
World Heritage properties, up to now each Staes Party has
intervened or reacted in favour of the World Heritage property
in order to avoid a possible deletion from the list
Examples for successful interventions:
Potsdam – high rising constructions
Vienna - Mitte
Schönbrunn - Meidling, Kometgründe
Neusiedlersee - Parndorf, high rising construction
Cologne – high rising construction opposite dome

• Harar Walled Town (2001)
• Bale Mountains National Park (2008)
Aksum: criteria (i) (iv)
The ruins of the ancient city of Aksum are found close to Ethiopia's northern border. They
mark the location of the heart of ancient Ethiopia, when the Kingdom of Aksum was the
most powerful state between the Eastern Roman Empire and Persia. The massive ruins,
dating from between the 1st and the 13th century A.D., include monolithic obelisks, giant
stelae, royal tombs and the ruins of ancient castles. Long after its political decline in the
10th century, Ethiopian emperors continued to be crowned in Aksum.
Fasil Ghebbi, Gondar Region: criteria (ii) (iii)
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the fortress-city of Fasil Ghebbi was the residence
of the Ethiopian emperor Fasilides and his successors. Surrounded by a 900-mlong wall, the city contains palaces, churches, monasteries and unique public and
private buildings marked by Hindu and Arab influences, subsequently
transformed by the Baroque style brought to Gondar by the Jesuit missionaries.
Lower Valley of the Awash: criteria (ii) (iii) (iv)
The Awash valley contains one of the most important groupings of palaeontological sites on
the African continent. The remains found at the site, the oldest of which date back at least 4
million years, provide evidence of human evolution which has modified our conception of
the history of humankind. The most spectacular discovery came in 1974, when 52 fragments
of a skeleton enabled the famous Lucy to be reconstructed.
Harrar Jugol, the Fortified Historic Town: (ii) (iii) (iv) (v)
The fortified historic town of Harar is located in the eastern part of the country
on a plateau with deep gorges surrounded by deserts and savannah. The walls
surrounding this sacred Muslim city were built between the 13th and 16th
centuries. Harar Jugol, said to be the fourth holiest city of Islam, numbers 82
mosques, three of which date from the 10th century, and 102 shrines, but the
townhouses with their exceptional interior design constitute the most
spectacular part of Harar's cultural heritage. The impact of African and Islamic
traditions on the development of the town's building types and urban layout
make for its particular character and uniqueness.
Lower Valley of the Omo: criteria (iii) (iv)
A prehistoric site near Lake Turkana, the lower valley of the Omo is renowned the
world over. The discovery of many fossils there, especially Homo gracilis, has
been of fundamental importance in the study of human evolution.
Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela: criteria (i) (ii) (iii)
The 11 medieval monolithic cave churches of this 13th-century 'New Jerusalem'
are situated in a mountainous region in the heart of Ethiopia near a traditional
village with circular-shaped dwellings. Lalibela is a high place of Ethiopian
Christianity, still today a place of pilgrimage and devotion.
Tiya: criteria (i) (iv)
Tiya is among the most important of the roughly 160 archaeological sites
discovered so far in the Soddo region, south of Addis Ababa. The site contains 36
monuments, including 32 carved stelae covered with symbols, most of which are
difficult to decipher. They are the remains of an ancient Ethiopian culture whose
age has not yet been precisely determined.
Simien National Park: criteria (vii) (x)
Massive erosion over the years on the Ethiopian plateau has created one of the
most spectacular landscapes in the world, with jagged mountain peaks, deep
valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500 m. The park is home to some
extremely rare animals such as the Gelada baboon, the Simien fox and the Walia
ibex, a goat found nowhere else in the world.

Economic Aspects of World Heritage:
Becoming a World Heritage site has always been connected with great
economic expectations. Are they justified? What economic potential is in
a cultural landscape for instance?
The economic significance of monuments and, hence, of the
maintenance, repair, restoration and conservation of historic monuments
is a dual one:
Indirect significance through their indirect profit gain, as destinations for
a growing cultural tourism. According to a study commissioned by the
Austrian Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs from 1996, cultural tourism
is a promising market. Cultural tourism is a growth sector within the
European tourism industry: According to estimates by the World Tourism
Organization, 37% of all holidays include cultural aspects, and the annual
growth rate for cultural trips was forecast with 15% by the year 2000!
These figures proved to be correct, however they are regionally subject to
unexpected events and influences as the outbreak of diseases (SARS in
2003), terrorism and military conflicts (11th September 2002 and
subsequent events in its wake), and economic crisis (large scale
unemployment, rise of price of petrol) for instance.
The extent of this indirect profit gain however depends on the form taken
by investment in individual cases. Thus, for instance, tourism systems
are frequently built up in low-wage countries which are rich in cultural
heritage with the aid of foreign capital, and a large part of the profit leaves
the country once more. What remains is nevertheless a considerable
employment factor. If the intention is to achieve the broadest distribution
of the indirect profit gain possible (which is at least not the primary aim of
foreign investment, and hence requires equity capital), one must take
another path, as demonstrated for instance by the principle of “exhibition
roads“ or “cultural roads“. This means that an appropriate touristic
infrastructure enables visitors, who travel individually in most cases, for
instance to visit museum exhibits in their original locations, or to locate
architectural monuments even in remote locations. The provincial
exhibitions organised in Austria, which have in most cases been held on
cultural topics related to a major object which has been restored on the
occasion of the exhibition (e.g. a cloister or a castle) constitute such a
possibility.
Direct significance as employment potential for employees dealing with
their maintenance, repair and restoration. This gives rise to a market
which is particularly labour and hence wage-intensive and depends on
state and private investment.
State investment (direct subsidies and various types of tax relief in the
interest of the conservation of historical monuments) in turn set private
investment in motion, and are hence a control tool for company and
employment promotion.
Investment in old buildings has the following advantages when compared
to new construction:
• It usually entails a smaller investment volume than new construction,
and requires less long-term financial planning and tying down of funds.
Invest-ment in old buildings is therefore more flexible. Many areas of the
construction industry therefore devote an ever larger share of their
capacity to renovating old buildings. The recurring cycle of maintenance
and repair work also ensures a long-term development.
• The measures required for monuments are labour and hence wageintensive. The maintenance work which needs to be carried out on a
regular basis constitutes a major employment potential. Retaining the
traditional crafts manu-facturing technology also saves energy and raw
materials. Finally, using old buildings allows savings to be made because
he entire infrastructure, which needs to be created for new construction,
is already available.
Tourism and World Heritage
mutual relationship – positive aspects:
worldwide advertising by UNESCO – touristic investments
into infrastructure, employment factor/potential.
mutual relationship – negative aspects:
World Heritage Sites attract tourism investors from abroad
who want to make a „quick money“. In contrary to a
sustainable develeopment which is based upon existing
structures, this mostly causes negative impacts especially as
much new constructions are concerned.
desireable activities:
* Earliest possible contacts to avoid development of non
suitable projects before before they have been evaluated
and refused.
* Connection between World Heritage and typical
gastronomic offers – no Kitsch!
• Suitable publications of „best-practice“ examples.
• Earliest possible contact with tourism management when
elaborating new management plans.

Schutz des Welterbes in Österreich:
Denkmalschutz von Welterbestätten ist in Österreich nur für
Einzelobjekte und Ensembles möglich. Schon der Schutz der
Freiräume in Altstädten und der Umgebung von Denkmalen
und mehr noch der Kulturlandschaft hängt nach der
österreichischen Kompetenzverteilung von den Ländern ab.
Seit den ersten Eintragungen 1996 Lernprozess in Österreich.
Szt. wurde Eintragung mehr als Auszeichnung und weniger
als Schutz gesehen . Daher von der UNESCO zum Schutz der
Welterbestätten verlangte Pufferzonen meist zu knapp;
Managementplan lediglich Darlegung der gesetzlichen
Situation (außer Denkmalschutz noch Altstadterhaltungsgesetze in Altstädten, und Naturschutzprädikate in
Kulturlandschaften).
Welterbestatus schließt nachhaltige Entwicklung nicht aus:
(Optimierung nicht Maximierung des Gewinns)
Welterbekonvention fordert jedoch Erhaltung nach
• Bestand – Substanzerhaltung
• Wertigkeit – geht über reine Substanzerhaltung hinaus und
umfasst zum Beispiel den optischen Umgebungsschutz.
Aus dieser Rechtslage ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit eines in
alle Planungsinstrumente integrierten Schutzes der
Welterbestätten. Zur Koordination der bestehenden Schutzund Planungsinstrumente werden von der UNESCO
Managementpläne gefordert.
Das bestehende System „erlaubt oder verboten“ reicht nicht
aus (z.B. fortschreitende Zerstörung der Dachlandschaft,
Beeinträchtigung von Welterbestätten durch Hochhäuser).
Erforderlich ist Fragestellung „für das Welterbe zuträglich
oder nicht zuträglich“
Managementpläne ermöglichen eine möglichst frühzeitige
Abstimmung der Planungsinstrumente aus diesem
Gesichtspunkt.
