| description | The significance of medieval historic town management traditionsHistorical practices and traditional wisdoms of historic town management are vital elements of the contemporary landscape-based heritage management practice.For example, the 2011 UNESCO Recommendation adopted a Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach which emphasizes the importance of traditional knowledge for the conservation of historic landscapes (World Heritage Centre, 2011). The integrity of the authentic fabrics (tangible and intangible) of a historic landscape is inseparable to its traditional institutions. Thus several authors have claimed the significance of understanding such traditions with regard to framing operational definitions required for the management, financing and protection of heritages in the context of rapid urbanization, tourism impacts, and economic development pressure ( Echter, 2020;ICOMOS, 2011; Martínez, 2017; Nelson & Shelling, 2018; Orbasli, 2000; 2017; Plieninger & Bieling, 2012; Sykes & Ludwig, 2015). |
