世界文化景觀分布落差與努力的方向

The Gaps of Cultural Landscape in The World Heritage List and the Possible Ways to Fill Them

世界遺產公約於1972年設置世界文化遺產名錄，希望藉締約國的共同努力，將具傑出普世價值的人類共同遺產傳諸後世，所以它應該是超越國家、民族、種族及宗教，具多元與博愛特性的一種無私理念的實踐。其中，文化景觀是1992年才被納入，目的在彰顯人類與自然環境共同創造的果實，不過，由於分類的不當，新加入的締約國未能掌握其要義，以及天災與人禍（區域的政經動盪、戰爭）導致分布出現巨幅落差，如何根據這些問題，思考適當的對策，是全球共同努力的目標。

The World Heritage List was established by the World Heritage Convention of 1972, so as entire signatory States Parties can nominate cultural and natural heritage of“outstanding universal value”, thus, achieving the goal of heritage diversity in the world and passing down those mankind’s common heritages with outstanding universal values to future generations. It is obvious that the List means to be transcending the boundaries of the nation, the people, the race and the religion. It is a dream comes true for those take the harmony and peace of the world to their hearts. Cultural landscape was a latecomer in the family of The List, hoping to illustrate the fruits that were born because of the nature and the man’s mutual efforts. Owing to the not-so-well-represented categorization, natural disasters and human wrongdoings (the regional political and economic turmoil, the national war and domestic civil confl ict), there are obvious gaps in the landscape’s regional distributions. How to deal with these specifi c problems is a global test.
