Das zentrale Thema dieser Akademie behandelte das breite Konfliktfeld, dem das Erbe der Menschen zunehmend ausgesetzt ist und f\u00fcr das disziplin\u00e4re und interdisziplin\u00e4re L\u00f6sungsstrategien identifiziert bzw entwickelt wurden. Die ISAC 2015 zielte damit auf die Weiterentwicklung von nachhaltigen Schutz- und Nutzungskonzepten von Erbe im Sinne der UNESCO-Konventionen und auf die Rolle und Bedeutung von Erbe f\u00fcr nachhaltige und menschliche Entwicklung.<\/p>\n Die \u00fcbergreifenden Themen Konflikte und Konfliktl\u00f6sungsstrategien wurden dabei in f\u00fcnf Themenbereiche unterteilt:<\/p>\n (Nur in Englisch verf\u00fcgbar.)<\/p>\n The Decumanus Maximus on the site of Palmyra, Syria<\/a>; By Bernard Gagnon<\/a> is icensed under GFDL<\/a> and CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a>–3.0<\/a>–2.5<\/a>–2.0<\/a>–1.0<\/a> via Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n As more sites become threatened with destruction, heritage professionals, institutions and government bodies play an increasingly important role in protecting both the built and intangible heritage. Heritage sites, traditional knowledge and skills, language and music all serve to represent not only the history of a community, but also its identity. The freedom to practice our own self-identified heritage is not only an essential component of international human rights, but it also a key to the sustainability of a culture. Unfortunately, it is the aim of groups such as ISIS and other illegal armed groups, to destroy all traces of cultures that are not their own by completely wiping their heritage and thus the different histories off of the map. The current discourse concerning heritage in armed conflict zones is focused mainly on re-building after demolition and\/or 3-D documentation, so that destroyed heritage is not lost forever. Looking to the future, as the sole UN agency whose mandate it is to protect cultural property and heritage, it is vital that UNESCO devises pro-active steps that can be acted upon before destruction.

Still, this tool needs to be integrated into the management and conservation strategies of World Heritage Sites. An appropriate HIA can improve the resilience of tangible and intangible heritage in the face of future development. An important issue, which is often neglected, is to consider local community and encourage participatory methods in the application of HIA where it can positively rebind local communities with their values. In addition, further effort is required to support HIA by local administrations and state parties through the development of legal mandates for the implementation of HIA in heritage protection actions.

This approach aims to increase the sustainability of urban development by integrating the environmental, social and cultural concerns into the planning of heritage in historic urban landscapes. The approach has had very positive outcomes when it comes to the creation of a balance between development and protection of urban heritage. However, some concerns have arisen in relation to authenticity and integrity, and this has evidenced the need for integrated strategies to achieve the sustainable development of urban contexts and solve the conflict between these interrelationships. Therefore, professionals call for a comprehensive and integrated approach for the identification, assessment, conservation and management of these historic urban landscapes that takes into account urban values and identity, as well as a holistic landscape approach that integrates urban conservation into the wider socio-economic development.

As it is a process that affects our environment, it also has an impact on our natural and cultural heritage. The current trend in dealing with the enormous, global issue of climate change on a local scale has been to turn from prevention to adaptation, focusing for example on fostering ecosystem resilience and site-specific climate change adaptation strategies. If one takes a look at recent natural and mixed World Heritage nominations, it is evident that (at least at that stage) management has not prepared specific, actionable strategies for what is projected to become the greatest threat to these sites. Although some climate change occurs naturally, in recent times humans have accelerated the process to the point of great concern. Even if emissions were completely halted, climate change would continue to impact natural heritage in the future. Because climate change is a global and local issue, it requires global and local solutions. One important aspect of addressing the challenge of climate change is awareness raising; therefore it becomes crucial for cultural heritage professionals to understand how climate change crosscuts many sectors.

In this sense, the current discourse focuses on the need to re-define a more suitable approach to preserve and manage cultural landscapes, which takes into account different perspectives and new views on conservation and preservation, land use, human interaction and site conservation. Furthermore, the different management strategies to approach its issues need to consider the changes and its natural evolution, as well as relevant aspects like environmental concerns, the preservation of cultural values, the meaning and interpretation and the interests of local communities, indigenous populations and other stakeholders, whose views on the site could be conflicting.
