The Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) Recommendation (UNESCO 2011) suggests that heritage management should be holistic, integrated, people-centred and focused on sustainable development goals. Both tangible and intangible heritage should be taken into account, allowing for appropriate change over time. A variety of stakeholders should be involved in planning processes, including all levels of government, NGOs and communities. Intercultural dialogue and mediation, as well as tools such as documentation, inventorying and mapping should be used to identify multiple layers of heritage. Implementing the Recommendation thus offers a wonderful opportunity to develop consultative, bottom-up, integrated planning for sustainable development in urban areas. This paper suggests that one barrier to integrating management planning for tangible and intangible heritage is a persistent confusion about what ‘intangible heritage’ is and why it deserves protection. Is it the values that local communities associate with their environment (‘intangible values’), or is it cultural practices that they happen to perform in that environment (intangible cultural heritage, or ICH)? Should ‘intangible heritage’ be managed as an attribute attesting to the authenticity of tangible fabric, or as a subject of safeguarding in its own right? If it means all these things at the same time, why is the same concept being used for so many different ideas and what are the consequences? The paper will suggest that a clearer conceptual understanding of intangible heritage is necessary to effectively integrate it into urban management strategies under the HUL approach.

城市环境中非物质遗产的概念化：实施HUL建议的挑战

《历史城市景观》（HUL）建议书（联合国教科文组织，2011年）建议，遗产管理应是整体的，综合的，以人为中心的，并应关注可持续发展目标。应同时考虑有形和无形遗产，以便随着时间的推移进行适当的更改。各种利益相关者应参与规划过程，包括各级政府，非政府组织和社区。应当使用跨文化对话和调解以及文件，清单和地图等工具来识别多层遗产。因此，实施建议书提供了一个极好的机会，可以为城市地区的可持续发展制定协商，自下而上的综合规划。本文认为，整合有形和非物质遗产管理计划的一个障碍是，对于“非物质遗产”是什么以及为什么它应该受到保护这一问题一直存在困惑。是当地社区与其环境相关联的价值（“非物质价值”），还是恰好在该环境中执行的文化习俗（非物质文化遗产或ICH）？应将“非物质遗产”作为证明有形织物真实性的属性来管理，还是作为本身保护的对象？如果这同时意味着所有这些事情，为什么同一概念被用于许多不同的想法，其后果是什么？本文将建议对非物质遗产有一个更清晰的概念性理解，以将其有效地纳入HUL方法下的城市管理策略。
