Abstract

The management of a World Heritage Site must have an intergenerational and sustainable perspective that leads to the development and implementation of policies for its sustainability. The purpose of this research is to expand knowledge on whether and how World Heritage Sites include sustainability dimensions in their management processes. Sustainability is envisioned as a multifaceted concept made up of financial, heritage, sociocultural, and environmental perspectives. A case study has been carried out at the Royal Alcazar of Seville, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. The findings highlight how sustainability dimensions intertwine with its management system. They also indicate that the financial and heritage dimensions are those that remain the most developed and that sociocultural and environmental dimensions are gaining prominence in management processes. Managers of other heritage sites can benefit from this research by acknowledging the role that all dimensions of sustainability play in the management processes of their organisations.

可持续发展维度与世界遗产管理:以西班牙塞维利亚皇家城堡为例

世界遗产的管理必须具有代际和可持续的视角，从而制定和实施可持续发展的政策。本研究的目的是扩展关于世界遗产地是否以及如何在其管理过程中纳入可持续性维度的知识。可持续发展被设想为一个多方面的概念，由金融、遗产、社会文化和环境观点组成。在塞维利亚皇家城堡进行了一个案例研究，该城堡自1987年以来一直被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。研究结果强调了可持续发展的维度是如何与管理系统交织在一起的。它们还表明，财政和遗产方面仍然是最发达的方面，而社会文化和环境方面在管理过程中日益突出。其他遗产地的管理者可以从这项研究中受益，因为他们认识到可持续性的各个方面在他们组织的管理过程中所起的作用。
