Sustaining cultural landscapes requires the conservation of socio-cultural characteristics as well as their physical manifestations. It is essential to document and conserve tangible and intangible elements of heritage in an integrated manner as cultural heritage consists of "both tangible and intangible works through which the creativity of a people finds expressions". These include but may not be limited to social practices, daily lives, rituals, traditional craftsmanship, know-how, techniques and skills, historic places, buildings, public spaces and objects. Finding the means of understanding and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and its transmission to next generations is vital for the preservation of tangible heritage and its characteristics. This paper reviews the development of the concepts of intangible cultural heritage and cultural landscapes, and the interrelationship between tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Their interaction opens up new approaches to cultural heritage and its conservation. The case study focuses on the cultural landscape features of Kayseri's Northeast Valleys, Koramaz, Gesi and Derevenk, in terms of their tangible and intangible heritage elements and values. The methodology, therefore, proposes the integrated documentation and analysis of these tangible and intangible cultural heritage characteristics. The area had a multi-cultural, ethnic and religious social structure, which shaped its elements through human-nature interaction. However, demographic changes within the last century transformed daily-life practices. The research is based on in-depth interviews with local residents, analysis of archival sources and documentation of the physical remains in the field. The results highlight the traditional crafts and production techniques as daily-life practices; some of these are still continued at the present while others are not practiced anymore. Those practiced in the recent past are carried to our day through the remembrances and accounts of the elders. The documentation of these practices forms the first step for their revival and sustainability for the future and provide valuable tools for the development of principles and strategies with this purpose. Understanding the physical, natural and socio+ layers of tangible and intangible cultural heritage is essential in this context. Their promotion and the inclusion of local stakeholders in the conservation process is the only solution for the integrated conservation of these cultural landscapes in terms of a living heritage approach.
Cultural heritage includes the sites, things, and practices a society regards as old, important, and worthy of conservation. It is currently the subject of increasing popular and scholarly attention worldwide, and its conceptual scope is expanding. Most social scientists emphasize its functions for supporting ethnic, national, and elite interests but others point to its creative and counterhegemonic sides. The article reviews the relation of heritage with tourism and nostalgia, dissonant/negative heritage, heritage and religion, rural and urban heritage, and heritage institutions, in particular the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and its conventions. People's personal attachments to heritage deserve further study.

The Special Region of Yogyakarta is a cultural rich city with excellent cultural resources. Yogyakarta should manage their assets with long-term planning to keep the sustainability. There is a very unique planning process due to a combination of political, technocratic, participatory, top down and bottom up approaches. This planning process is comprehensive or integrated because its involved many actor from multisectoral, multidisciplinary, multi regulatory, and multi planning documents, etc. Local wisdoms have been coloring the planning documents. This study describe and analyze the cultural development planning in Yogyakarta especially on the Management Planning in Kotagede Cultural Heritage District. We used qualitative descriptive approach methods and Miles and Huberman analysis methods. Participation of community and Non Governmental Organization (NGO) in conservation planning of cultural heritage in this area is very significant in simplify the government task because people have been more literate in planning, have database of cultural assets, and capable of making their own decisions for the future of the region. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) dan Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) were integrated in the planning process of Kotagede Heritage District management, thus it becomes a model of cultural heritage with community empowerment-based conservation.

CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF THE DRÂA VALLEY, MOROCCO
"CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF THE DRÂA VALLEY, MOROCCO", Baglioni E., Dipasquale L., Mecca S., Chaham K. R.. In Digital Procedings of the “XI Conferencia Internacional sobre el Estudio y Conservación de la Arquitectura Patrimonial de Tierra, Terra 2012”, 2012
The six Drâa valley oases are a system of several rural villages called ksours, characterized by a profound balance between agronomic, economic, social, architectural, ecological, and cultural dimensions. The Drâa valley oases are an exemplar of secular sustainable living systems and contain also a diversity of ethnic groups that defines the rich socio-cultural diversity of the area. Sophisticated irrigation systems, ruled by traditional local resource-management institutions to ensure a fair water distribution, integrated with a significant earthen architecture, constitute a complex and important, both material and immaterial, cultural heritage. Local building technologies use raw earth as the main material; earth, due to its easy availability and its low cost, constitutes a precious resource in the building of construction elements, from the structural to the decorative. The mainly earthen building techniques, used simultaneously and symbiotically in the different architectural elements, are rammed earth and adobe. In the Drâa Valley the cultural heritage represents an undeniable value and an excellent and competitive resource for quality, distribution, levels of preservation and permanence in today’s cultural and socio-economic structures - and so is a decisive element in the process of local development. Effective projects toward local development and cultural heritage conservation and innovation, in conjunction with the objective to improve life conditions of local populations, should therefore be founded on these general actions: - identification and systemic understanding of local, traditional and sustainable knowledge by all actors and especially by local populations; - integration of cultural heritage with the processes of local development, in particular adapting the traditional houses into new cultural and living needs, to end the general abandonment of housing and the loss of this important heritage; - construction of government and management systems in which the local actors know how to dialogue and organize the real course of development, in an autonomous way, improving the specificities of identity that characterize the place.

Aims and Objectives of the Study: To identify the prospects of Heritage Tourism as a new trend at the global stage; To assess the potentials of some selected Heritage Tourist attractions in Katsina; and To identify the possible strategies to adopt in planning and developing those Heritage attractions discussed. Academic and industrial Justifications for the Study: The study will highlight on the prospects of heritage tourism in Katsina as little is written about those monuments from tourism perspectives-it will contribute to new knowledge in tourism literature. For instance Shema (2015) has presented a report on the architectural design of Gobarau Minarat, however, his work concentrates on the history and architectural design of the building. Meanwhile, Gronenborn's et al (2012) work describes the ancient Durbi-ta-Kusheyi as a "high status burial site" in the western Bilad al-Sudan based on archaeological point of view; while Aliyu (2018) work is based on tourism, however, he did not use tourism literature to buttress his points. This study, as a case study, will highlight on the prospects and way of exploiting the potentials of those heritage sites discussed and future researches could be built upon this work for the advancement of knowledge. The study could be used in planning to develop the heritage sites and similar ones elsewhere; the Katsina State Government and other stakeholders can implement the plans and analysis for developing Katsina as a competitive tourism destination. The result will lead to an economic growth of the region,

The concept of heritage, in fact, has had a changing understanding over time which has led to an enrichment of the categories that compose it.
