The Covid19 pandemic has further accelerated these phenomena. With the project \"Respect the mountain\" (DE: Achtsam am Berg; IT Rispetta la montagna), an awareness-raising process is being implemented since 2021 in South Tyrol, addressing visitors, locals, and tourism professionals in the area of the Dolomites WHS. It aims to raise awareness of environmentally friendly behavior, with focus on water saving and waste reduction. The project is a cooperation between the Department of Nature, Landscape and Spatial Development of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol - Coordination Office Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage, IDM South Tyrol and the Agency for Environment and Climate Protection of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol.

The Ayutthaya City Plan comprises a network of several rivers and canals, connecting the inner city with the outside. The historical monuments are taken care of by both domestic and international agencies, but their settings and built environments face numerous challenges causing the connection between historic monuments and water features is slowly fading away. This study aims to establish why the historical city has lost its sense of a water-based settlement. The result reveals that several areas outside the World Heritage Site remain connected. In times of flood, the traditional design of the historical structure, with its precise leveling and topographical surveys of the past, is able to prevent damage, bearing witness to how the community lives with water intrusion. Several settlements along the ancient Chao Phraya River also represent outstanding examples of the living practices in water-based settlements.","PeriodicalId":52938,"journal":{"name":"Restauro Archeologico","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42189987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this scenario, a key role is played by Competence Centres for their strategic function capable of responding to the European Union approach with reference to the pact system enucleated by the 1972 UNESCO Convention for heritage protection.

Twenty years later, the international organization, with the revision of the operational guidelines of the Convention, will expand the previous categories of assets to be protected, so as to include, the new typology of 'cultural landscapes'. In this category the 'Amalfi Coast' has been registered in the UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) since 1997, due to both its relevant natural and anthropic characteristics.

The reasons for the phenomenon are rather easy to explain: as the National Restoration Charters and, in general, the theoretical principles developed in the peninsula have well demonstrated, conservation can only be practiced when the authentic matter of architecture is present, as any reference to restoration will appear arbitrary and unfounded without this. Nevertheless, as the international scenario has expanded and the concept of heritage has taken on a variety of geo-graphical meanings, reconstruction has become increasingly popular. On the one hand, this has been linked to the different conceptions of authenticity that are prevalent especially in non-European contexts, and on the other hand, concerns the need to meet the needs of the population, especially following calamities such as wars and natural disasters. It is intended here to stimulate the development of a specific reflection on the phenomenon of reconstruction by analysing the scenarios related to the phenomenon, so as to respond to UNESCO's increasing need to make decisions on reconstruction on the base of useful theoretical support.","PeriodicalId":52938,"journal":{"name":"Restauro Archeologico","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48099462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, in the Dossier of candidacy of the so-called \"Arab-Norman itinerary of Palermo\" some monuments were excluded due to the restorations conducted between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But many other \"Arab-Norman\" monuments in Palermo were also restored, as the Churches of Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio, called Martorana and San Cataldo, included instead in the itinerary. Moreover, there are many monuments that, despite having undergone substantial restorations in style – think of the Alhambra palace in Granada or the fortified city of Carcassonne just to give examples – are part of the UNESCO heritage.
