00:00:13.568 --> 00:00:14.784
In this section

2
00:00:15.104 --> 00:00:18.752
I'm going to talk about a relative new concept Cultural Routes,

3
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:24.000
The Cultural Routes, including the Heritage Routes and Heritage Canals.

4
00:00:24.256 --> 00:00:27.600
I will talk about this one by one

5
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.817
In terms of the cultural Routes,

6
00:00:29.817 --> 00:00:35.442
The concept of "routes" or cultural itineraries was discussed by the expert

7
00:00:35.769 --> 00:00:43.577
meeting on "Routes as a Part of our Cultural Heritage" (Madrid, Spain, November 1994)

8
00:00:43.961 --> 00:00:50.233
The concept of heritage routes is shown to be a rich and fertile one,

9
00:00:50.681 --> 00:00:55.417
offering a privileged framework in which mutual understanding,

10
00:00:55.737 --> 00:01:01.369
a plural approach to history and a culture of peace can all operate.

11
00:01:02.575 --> 00:01:07.769
A heritage route is composed of tangible elements of

12
00:01:07.769 --> 00:01:11.417
which the cultural significance comes from exchanges

13
00:01:11.609 --> 00:01:15.833
and a multi-dimensional dialogue across countries or regions.

14
00:01:16.025 --> 00:01:22.489
And that illustrate the interaction of movement, along the route, in space and time.

15
00:01:24.225 --> 00:01:28.057
The following points should be considered when determining

16
00:01:28.249 --> 00:01:33.689
whether a heritage route is suitable for inscription on the World Heritage List:

17
00:01:33.689 --> 00:01:40.000
The first point is inscription of heritage.

18
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.144
The first point is inscription of heritage routes on the World Heritage list.

19
00:01:47.176 --> 00:01:52.424
The requirement to hold the outstanding universal value should be record.

20
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.544
The concept of heritage routes is based on the dynamic movement

21
00:01:57.864 --> 00:02:04.648
an idea of exchanges with continuity in space and times refer to the hole

22
00:02:04.968 --> 00:02:10.664
where the rules has a grow over and above the sum of the elements

23
00:02:11.176 --> 00:02:14.760
making it up through which is gains its cultural significance.

24
00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:20.456
Highlights exchanges and the dialogue between countries or between regions.

25
00:02:20.456 --> 00:02:24.425
A heritage route may be considered as

26
00:02:24.675 --> 00:02:29.625
a specific, dynamic type of cultural landscape

27
00:02:29.625 --> 00:02:36.520
just as recent debates have led to their acceptance within the Operational Guidelines.

28
00:02:38.425 --> 00:02:42.425
The identification of a heritage route is based on

29
00:02:42.425 --> 00:02:50.152
a collection of strengths and tangible elements, testimony to the significance of the route itself.

30
00:02:50.675 --> 00:02:57.290
The conditions of authenticity are to be applied on the grounds of its significance

31
00:02:57.550 --> 00:03:01.258
and other elements making up the heritage route.

32
00:03:01.258 --> 00:03:08.550
It will take into account the duration of the route, and perhaps how often it is used nowadays,

33
00:03:08.550 --> 00:03:14.525
as well as the legitimate wishes for development of peoples affected.

34
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:20.074
So these points will be considered

35
00:03:20.330 --> 00:03:26.474
within the natural framework of the route and its intangible and symbolic dimensions.

36
00:03:27.025 --> 00:03:31.146
Well, in terms of the concept of Culture Canals,

37
00:03:31.594 --> 00:03:35.114
The concept of "canals" is discussed in detail

38
00:03:35.114 --> 00:03:42.730
in the Report of the Expert Meeting on Heritage Canals in Canada, 1994,in September.

39
00:03:42.730 --> 00:03:47.300
A canal is a human-engineered waterway.

40
00:03:47.300 --> 00:03:54.250
It may be of Outstanding Universal Value from the point of view of history or technology,

41
00:03:54.250 --> 00:04:03.914
either intrinsically or as an exceptional example representative of this category of cultural property.

42
00:04:03.914 --> 00:04:09.375
The canal may be a monumental work, 

43
00:04:09.375 --> 00:04:12.746
the defining feature of a linear cultural landscape

44
00:04:12.746 --> 00:04:22.125
or an integral component of a complex cultural heritage.

45
00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:31.475
Authenticity depends holistically upon values and the relationships between these values.

46
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:38.450
One distinctive feature of the canal as a heritage element is its evolution over time.

47
00:04:38.450 --> 00:04:47.925
This is linked to how it was used during different periods

48
00:04:47.925 --> 00:04:54.075
and the associated technological changes the canal underwent.

49
00:04:54.075 --> 00:05:01.068
The extent of these changes may constitute a heritage element.

50
00:05:01.068 --> 00:05:15.250
The authenticity and historical interpretation of a canal encompass the connection

51
00:05:15.609 --> 00:05:19.257
between the real property (subject of the Convention),

52
00:05:19.449 --> 00:05:21.400
possible movable property (boats, temporary navigation items)

53
00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:23.508
and the associated structures (bridges, etc) and landscape.

54
00:05:23.508 --> 00:05:27.800
The significance of canals can be examined

55
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:33.657
under technological, economic, social, and landscape factors as outlined below:
