1. Course Description
The world recognition of the cultural properties is discussed in this course, including "Registration in the World Heritage List”. Cultural properties are traces with the past human activities, and most of them are just materials. These materials are not cultural properties until a human being recognizes these values. Thus the recognition of cultural properties depends on the national characteristics and their region. Cultural properties should be utilized for public benefit; for example, opening them to the public. On the other hand, protection and public utilization of cultural properties are conflicted problems. This course will be important opportunity to consider these serious problems.
