    Criteria for World Heritage Selection

    Management Plans for World Heritage Sites



    • All World Heritage Sites now require management plans and full-time professional “site
    managers” (as stipulated by international agreements defined by UNESCO and its World
    Heritage agencies). The principles of such plans must be understood, and they must be
    incorporated in the respective national and local legislation. Heritage management
    normally requires specific institutional and funding arrangements

    • Considering the growing stock of World Heritage Sites, it will be necessary to distinguish
    types of sites – ranging from single buildings and monuments to large areas. It will be
    useful to define such “sites” by multiple criteria of complexity to find the best-fit types
    of management.

    • It has an “outstanding universal value”.

    • Perhaps the most well-known general criterion for World Heritage listing is the
    “outstanding universal value”., authenticity, and integrity.
