ABSTRACT

The World Heritage Site of Petra in Jordan is a large and complex site to manage with its multiple stakeholders, governance complexities, and competing local interests. It has been subjected to numerous management plans, none of which were fully implemented. In developing a new Integrated Management Plan one of the biggest challenges was to develop a methodology that would allow all voices to be heard, various interests brought together, and local ownership of the plan’s objectives achieved. This paper reflects on the practical experience of a novel approach to management planning at a cultural heritage site which draws on the theories and practices of participatory planning and natural environment management, and combines top-down and bottom-up approaches through collaboration with local entities and stakeholders. Utilising local institutional resources, in an approach that is locally driven and externally facilitated, the resulting Integrated Management Plan exemplifies a process of co-creation of management decisions.

摘要

约旦佩特拉世界遗产地是一个庞大而复杂的遗址，需要与多个利益相关者、治理复杂性和相互竞争的当地利益进行管理。它经历了许多管理计划，但没有一个得到充分实施。在制定新的综合管理计划时，最大的挑战之一是制定一种方法，使所有声音都能被听到，各种利益聚集在一起，并实现计划目标的本地所有权。本文反思了文化遗产地管理规划新方法的实践经验，该方法借鉴了参与式规划和自然环境管理的理论和实践，并通过与当地实体和机构的合作，结合了自上而下和自下而上的方法。利益相关者。
