The diploma thesis is focused on current supply of guide services in the UNESCO cities in Morava region. Guide services in Třebíč are analysed more detailed. The main goal of the thesis is to find changes in supply of guide services, when the current situation is compared to the situation in 2005. I used the diploma thesis of former student of the University of Economics in Prague from 2005 for this comparison. The next goal is comparison of supply of guide services between each other UNESCO cities. In this comparison, the main attention is paid to Třebíč and its supply. It is analysed, how wide is the range of guide services and offer of language versions compared to other UNESCO cities in Morava region.

The purpose of this essay was to find and analyse Finnskogen’s actors and their opinions about the place’s cultural and natural heritage values. Also, the process so far to become a World Heritage Site. The methods used in the essay were hermeneutic and argumentation analyses; the first was used in the process of finding the sources, the second, to analyse them. The results show that the actors have different arguments to why they want to make the place a World Heritage Site and also that collaborations they have with other projects and people that are involved are important. The results also show that they also follow UNESCO’s conventions about world heritage and cultural heritage, even if they have not said it officially. The conclusion of the essay is also that the actors sometimes have conflicting arguments  to why Finnskogen should become a World Heritage Site and how to proceed with the application process in the future.

The Cradle of Humankind, famous for its abundance of hominid fossils, has been preserved as a pristine landscape throughout the modern era, thanks to the establishment of the site as a natural and cultural World Heritage Site in 1994 (Maropeng 2016). In this dissertation the complexity surrounding a world heritage hominid fossil site is investigated. Kromdraai Cave, one of the five original caves included in the World Heritage declaration on the Cradle of Humankind, is investigated as a point of connection between conflicting values within the world heritage context. Through the intervention the site is envisioned as connecting not only the values of the world heritage site, but also providing an understanding of the landscape as a whole. The site is envisioned as a centre of knowledge, relating the value of the site directly to the context. The distribution of knowledge will allow the heritage to be accessible, not only to the scientist but also to the community. / Die Wiegvan die Mensdom is bekend vir die oorvloed hominied-fossiele wat daar voorkom, en is dwarsdeur die moderne era as 'n ongerepte landskap bewaar, danksy die die feit dat dit in 1994 as 'n natuurlike en kulturele Werelderfenisgebied verklaar is (Maropeng 2016). Hierdie skripsie ondersoek die kompleksiteite wat so 'n hominied-werelderfenisgebied omring. Kromdraai-grot, een van die vyf oorspronklike grotte wat ingesluit is toe Werelderfenisstatus a an die Wieg van die Mensdom toegeken is, word as aansluitingspunt tussen teenstrydige waardes binne 'n werelderfeniskonteks ondersoek. Deur die voorgestelde ingryping word dit moontlik dat die terrein nie aileen 'n verband skep tussen die onderskeie waardes wat 'n werelderfenisgebied verteenwoordig nie, maar dat daar oak 'n beter begrip van die landskap as 'n geheel verskaf word. Die terrein word as 'n kennissentrum beskou, wat sy waarde direk met die konteks in verband bring. Die verspreiding van kennis sal die erfenis toeganklik maak vir nie net wetenskaplikes nie, maar ook vir die gemeenskap. / Mini Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2016. / Architecture / MArch (Prof) / Unrestricted

Als Sonderorganisation der Vereinten Nationen soll die UNESCO als rechtlich selbstständige Organisation mit eigener Rechtspersönlichkeit zur Erreichung des Gesamtziels der Vereinten Nationen beitragen. Grundlage dafür sind gemeinsame Standards in den Bereichen Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur, die gegenseitiges Verständnis und Kooperation fördern sollen. Rechtssetzungsinstrumente sind demnach von großer Bedeutung für die Tätigkeit der UNESCO. Die vorliegende Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Analyse und kritische Würdigung der vorhandenen Instrumente und ordnet sie rechtlich sowohl nach ihrer Verbindlichkeit als auch ihrer Entstehung ein. Abschließend wird die Implementierung sowie die gewollte und erreichte Wirksamkeit der Rechtssetzungsinstrumente hinterfragt.:LITERATURVERZEICHNIS II ABKÜRZUNGSVERZEICHNIS VI A. EINLEITUNG 1 B.

Yes / Designed as a pragmatic approach that anticipates change to cultural heritage, this chapter discusses responses that encompass records for tangible cultural heritage (monuments, sites and landscapes) and the narratives that see the impact upon them. The Curious Travellers project provides a mechanism for digitally documenting heritage sites that have been destroyed or are under immediate threat from unsympathetic development, neglect, natural disasters, conflict and cultural vandalism. The project created and tested data-mining and crowd-sourced workflows that enable the accurate digital documentation and 3D visualisation of buildings, archaeological sites, monuments and heritage at risk. When combined with donated content, image data are used to recreate 3D models of endangered and lost monuments and heritage sites using a combination of open-source and proprietary methods. These models are queried against contextual information, helping to place and interrogate structures with relevant site and landscape data for the surrounding environment. Geospatial records such as aerial imagery and 3D mobile mapping laser scan data serve as a framework for adding new content and testing accuracy. In preserving time-event records, image metadata offers important information on visitor habits and conservation pressures, which can be used to inform measures for site management. / The Curious Travellers project was funded as a component of the AHRC Digital Transformations Theme Large Grant ‘Fragmented Heritage’ (AH/L00688X/1). AHRC Follow-on funding has seen this approach contribute to the BReaTHe project (AH/S005951/1) which seeks to Build Resilience Through Heritage for displaced communities and with a contribution to the BA Cities and Infrastructures Scheme project, ‘Reducing Disaster Risk to Life and Livelihoods by evaluating the seismic performance of retrofitted interventions within Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage Site during the 2015 Earthquake’, with Durham University (KF1\100109).

The UNESCO world heritage site, High Coast, in northern Sweden continues to have a higher and higher number of yearly visitors. In comparison with other destinations the High coast had a slight decrease in number of visits during the pandemic years. But was able to recover much quicker than others and continues to be a popular holiday destination among swedes and international visitors. This study details how four Swedish municipalities and their collaboration have dealt with this change, while also looking into how the growing crowds affect the many nature protected sceneries of the High Coast Area.

5 Abstract Lifelong learning is an important condition for a successful and fulfilling life in today's globalized world. Although the declared efforts of international organizations (UNESCO, WB, OECD, WTO, EU, etc.) to provide education for all, not everyone have equal chances in its acquisition. This work focuses on the initiative of UNESCO, OECD and the EU in this area. UNESCO focuses mainly on developing countries (providing functional literacy among the poorest) while the OECD and the EU to those developed (the target is people's employability and competitiveness, the acquisition of key skills). International organizations formulate these objectives in statements, strategies, action plans and proposals for action to eliminate unequal access to education. However, even these documents can render various difficulties and problems in their application in practice. Key words Adult education, inequalities in education, political documents (UNESCO, OECD, EU)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Rosangela Rosa Praxedes.pdf: 941103 bytes, checksum: 480a3a5ede4cb14617d79e00dec30fe0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-05-21 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / In a post-Second World War background, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, scientific and Cultural Organization) sponsors a program of studies on race relations in Brazil well known as "UNESCO Project". This doctoral thesis bases on theoretical approaches about race relations in Brazilian society since the Decade of 1930. It conducts an analytical and interpretive study, historically grounded in four surveys developed nationally within UNESCO Project in the early 1950s. In the first chapter, we discussed concepts that pointed Brazil as a racial paradise and accredited it to become "a great laboratory" to study race relations. The second chapter provides a discussion on the possibilities of social mobility for Black people in Brazil according to a study developed by René Ribeiro in Pernambuco: Religião e relações raciais (Religion and racial relations). The third chapter brings up a discussion about the research made by L.A. Costa Pinto - O negro no Rio de Janeiro relações de raça numa sociedade em mudança (The Black in Rio de Janeiro race relations in a changing society). In the following chapter, we discussed the study Relações raciais entre negros e brancos em São Paulo (Racial relations between black and white men in São Paulo), created by Roger Bastide and Florestan Fernandes. Then we closed the fifth chapter with a research developed by Thales de Azevedo in Bahia, As elites de cor um estudo de ascensão social (The elites of color a study on upward social mobility). In our final considerations, we systematize the aspects that characterize each study used along the thesis in order to understand how the researchers - who engaged in UNESCO project - faced the opportunities and obstacles to upward social mobility of black people in Brazil. This thesis aims to disclose empirical and theoretical concepts developed on researches at UNESCO Project, so that we can help recollecting its theoretical, empirical and political relevance. In addition, we intend to further studies on race relations, class and social mobility in Brazil, as well as contribute somehow to critic academic production on race relations in this society / No contexto histórico posterior à Segunda Guerra Mundial, a UNESCO, (Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, Ciência e Cultura) patrocina um programa de estudos sobre relações raciais no Brasil que ficou conhecido como o Projeto UNESCO . Nesta tese de doutorado, elegendo como referencial as abordagens teóricas que investigam as relações raciais na sociedade brasileira desde a década de 1930, realizamos um estudo analítico e interpretativo, contextualizado historicamente, sobre quatro pesquisas desenvolvidas no Brasil no âmbito do Projeto UNESCO, no início da década de 1950. No primeiro capítulo discutimos as idéias que lastreavam as concepções que apontavam o Brasil como um paraíso racial e o credenciaram a se tornar um grande laboratório de estudos sobre relações raciais. O segundo capítulo apresenta uma discussão sobre as possibilidades de mobilidade social para os negros na sociedade brasileira, conforme o estudo Religião e relações raciais, realizado por René Ribeiro em Pernambuco. No terceiro capítulo realizamos uma discussão a respeito da pesquisa desenvolvida por L.A. Costa Pinto, O negro no Rio de Janeiro relações de raça numa sociedade em mudança. Na continuidade do trabalho, abordamos no quarto capítulo o estudo Relações raciais entre negros e brancos em São Paulo, de responsabilidade de Roger Bastide e Florestan Fernandes, para encerrarmos com o quinto capítulo sobre a pesquisa desenvolvida por Thales de Azevedo na Bahia, As elites de cor um estudo de ascensão social. Nas considerações finais sistematizamos os aspectos que caracterizam cada estudo enfocado ao longo da tese, tendo em vista entendermos como os pesquisadores que se engajaram no Projeto UNESCO concebiam as possibilidades e os obstáculos para a mobilidade social ascendente dos negros no Brasil. Entre os objetivos desta tese está a evidenciação dos fundamentos teóricos e empíricos das pesquisas desenvolvidas no âmbito do projeto UNESCO, visando contribuirmos para a rememoração de sua relevância teórica, empírica e política, para a sua difusão, bem como darmos prosseguimento aos estudos sobre a relação raça, classe e mobilidade social no Brasil, e contribuirmos de alguma maneira para a produção acadêmica que analisa criticamente as relações raciais na sociedade brasileira
