Scientific conservation and master planning for sustainable world heritage preservation in developing economies

This paper sets out the methods and techniques that Global Heritage Fund has adopted in respect of the international charters and guidelines that have been adopted for the administration, technical conservation and on-going care of inscribed, tentative and potential World Heritage Sites. "Sustainable preservation" requires a long-term view of projects, with due consideration of proper conservation techniques, appropriate consideration of the economic concerns, and the need to build the social awareness for management and care.
