La dinámica espacio-temporal del Patrimonio Mundial en Peligro

Abstract

World Heritage sites are suffering changes, due to climate change and its effects, as well as the role played by human being, responsible for the emergency situation that the planet is experiencing. The aim of this work is to analyze from a space-time perspective (1979-2018) various specific aspects of the List of World Heritage in Danger. The analysis will be done through variables such as the composition of the list and its continental distribution, the development of the countries and the possession of this figure, the period of permanence in the List and the economic assistance that UNESCO offers to them. For this study, it has been used the UNESCO State of Conservation Reports, registration documents and different reports generated from conventions for the protection of heritage. The results show the increase of the danger in the last years for the World Heritage and the differences in their management depending on the development of the country in which they are as well as the propensity to be located in Africa and the Middle East and to spend long periods of permanence in “this Black List”.
