德國世界遺產計畫礦山礦業地景的管理政策及組織運作

Management Policies and Organizational Operation of the German World Heritage Project“Mining Landscape Ore Mountains”

德國世界遺產計畫礦山礦業地景—伊資克柏格山區位於德國和捷克兩國的交界處，有超過800年的採礦活動，留下許多的歷史遺跡，形成獨特多樣的產業景觀，對當地文化造成深遠的影響。德國在1998年將此礦山地景提名角逐UNESCO世界遺產之未來計畫候選名單，展開推動申請世界遺產工作。但因地方政府政策轉變，相關工作曾一度停擺，2003年該區域內主要的城鎮、社區組織及學術單位共同籌組世界遺產計劃協會，接續推動相關工作，才又促使政府重新啟動跨國界的整合申請準備作業，將於2013年正式申請UNESCO世界遺產。

In the mountain region“Erzgebirge”, a German world heritage project“Mining Landscape Ore Mountains”, the more than 800 years of mining activities left plenty of historic monuments from each mining period forming a unique industrial landscape and deeply influencing the culture of the region. In 1998, the Erzgebirge was nominated for the German tentative list for the inscription on the UNESCO world heritage list. However, due to the change of conservation policy, the project was stopped. Fortunately, with the cooperation between local council, civil society and academy, a World Heritage Project Group was established to continue the project in 2003. The project pushed the government to continue related works and application process. It is planned to apply for the UNESCO world heritage nomination in 2013.
