The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific revisits the use, growth, and potential of the cultural landscape methodology in the conservation and management of culture-nature heritage in the Asia-Pacific region. Taking both a retrospective and prospective view of the management of cultural heritage in the region, this volume argues that the plurality and complexity of heritage in the region cannot be comprehensively understood and effectively managed without a broader conceptual framework like the cultural landscape approach. The book also demonstrates that such an approach facilitates the development of a flexible strategy for heritage conservation. Acknowledging the effects of rapid socio-economic development, globalization, and climate change, contributors examine the pressure these issues place on the sustenance of cultural heritage. Including chapters from more than 20 countries across the Asia-Pacific region, the volume reviews the effectiveness of theoretical and practical potentials afforded by the cultural landscape approach and examines how they have been utilized in the Asia-Pacific context for the last three decades. The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific provides a comprehensive analysis of the processes of cultural landscape heritage conservation and management. As a result, it will be of interest to academics, students, and professionals who are based in the fields of cultural heritage management, architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, and landscape management.

The lifespan of a living being is governed by a fundamental law of the Universe. Unless accidents occur, the body undergoes degeneration and eventually ceases to exist when it no longer aligns with this law or when the environment becomes inhospitable. The approach of the end can be sudden or gradual, depending on the extent of stress the body experiences from hostile elements or the environment. For example, a person may endure 50 to 100 years in conditions that don't suit them, or they might face a sudden demise if they enter a chamber filled with poisonous gas. Two key factors seem to influence a person's longevity: Environment: This encompasses a person's surroundings, including their home, workplace, and the region they inhabit. Whether favorable or unfavorable, changing one's environment is often more challenging than altering one's habits. Habits: These refer to a person's way of living, which can be either beneficial or detrimental and are under their control. We are continually shaped by both our environment and our choices. The influence of the environment on humans is so profound that it's evident that it played a significant role in our initial physical existence. Humanity emerged in an environment that didn't obstruct its arrival. However, this statement is somewhat limited. Humans couldn't have appeared as physical beings until the elements, which still shape their bodies, were ideal for their birth. It's akin to a potential chick being brought into physical existence from an egg under the right conditions. The egg must be placed in the appropriate environment; otherwise, the physical chick won't come into being. Everything adheres to this cosmic law. Humans are no exception. They owe their physical existence to this law and face degeneration and death when they violate it. Perfect harmony with the environment would lead to perfect life. If there were no alterations in the environment, except those that organisms had adapted to cope with efficiently, eternal life and knowledge would be possible. So, what explains the law that allows for eternal life in the physical form? It's a matter of providing the necessary conditions. To understand this, we need to examine the relationship between the environment and living organisms. This examination will reveal why life can be long or short, high or low. It will provide insights into the reasons for both the existence and the demise of organisms. We must explore what constitutes the conditions for an organism to never experience death and instead enjoy perpetual, flawless life. Due to their intricate organisms, humans are better equipped than any other animals to adapt to and control their environment. The more complex an organism is, the more effectively it can adjust itself. In simpler terms, the most complex organisms tend to have the longest lifespans.

In the contemporary world, unprecedented global events are challenging our ability to protect and enhance cultural heritage for future generations. Relevance and Application of Heritage in Contemporary Society examines innovative and flexible approaches to cultural heritage protection. Bringing together cultural heritage scholars and activists from across the world, the volume showcases a spectrum of exciting new approaches to heritage protection, community involvement, and strategic utilization of expertise. The contributions deal with a range of highly topical issues, including armed conflict and non-state actors, as well as broad questions of public heritage, museum roles in society, heritage tourism, disputed ownership, and indigenous and local approaches. In so doing, the volume builds upon, and introduces readers to, a new cultural heritage declaration codified during a 2016 workshop at the Royal Ontario Museum, Canada. Offering a clarion call for an enduring spirit of innovation, collaboration, education, and outreach, Relevance and Application of Heritage in Contemporary Society will be important reading for scholars, students, cultural heritage managers, and local community stakeholders.
