Abstract

ABSTRACT We explore whether local planning culture influences the effectiveness of heritage impact assessment (HIA) and we discuss the legitimacy of ICOMOS, the international advisory body to UNESCO on cultural heritage. We examined the HIA processes for two proposed infrastructure projects that potentially could affect the Defence Line of Amsterdam World Heritage site in the Netherlands. We interviewed key stakeholders involved in decision-making about these projects, and found that the Dutch planning culture positively influenced the effectiveness of the HIA processes. The interviewees predominantly discussed the substantive and transactive effectiveness of the HIA processes in that they praised the practitioner for facilitating a clear, inclusive and transparent process and having a solution-oriented mindset, which is common practice in the Dutch planning culture. However, in contrast to the Dutch planning culture, the role of ICOMOS was perceived as opaque and a ‘black box’, although this did not decrease its legitimacy among the key stakeholders.

地方规划文化是否影响影响评估的有效性?:反思荷兰联合国教科文组织世界遗产的基础设施项目

摘要:本文探讨了地方规划文化是否会影响遗产影响评估(HIA)的有效性，并讨论了联合国教科文组织文化遗产国际咨询机构ICOMOS的合法性。我们研究了可能影响荷兰阿姆斯特丹世界遗产地防线的两个拟议基础设施项目的HIA流程。我们采访了参与这些项目决策的主要利益相关者，发现荷兰的规划文化对HIA过程的有效性产生了积极的影响。受访者主要讨论了HIA过程的实质性和互动性的有效性，他们赞扬了从业者促进了一个清晰、包容和透明的过程，并具有以解决方案为导向的心态，这是荷兰规划文化中的常见做法。然而，与荷兰的规划文化相比，ICOMOS的角色被认为是不透明的，是一个“黑盒子”，尽管这并没有降低其在关键利益相关者中的合法性。
