Sustainable Cultural and Natural Heritage: Scotland

摘要

Sustainable heritage management is essential for addressing environmental, social, and cultural challenges in tourism. Scotland provides a rich case study of safeguarding heritage while promoting resilience and stewardship. These lectures examine cultural and natural heritage through sustainability, using examples, such as the reshaping of Glasgow’s urban heritage, Orkney’s overtourism, and climate change threats to St Kilda. Lecture One explores community engagement, depopulation, and strategies for balancing conservation with economic growth, framed by UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals and Historic Environment Scotland policies. Lecture Two addresses risks such as climate change and overtourism, highlighting problems such as coastal erosion at Skara Brae and tourism impacts on Cairngorms National Park. It considers adaptation strategies and community-led responses to integrate climate resilience into heritage management for future generations.
