Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research tries to present a planning method for the World Heritage Site, Hue-Vietnam alternative to strict building controls or resettlement in protection zones and the buffers, which has been implemented in this region until now. The peripheral villages of the Nguyen Imperial Tombs make use of the historical water systems, exploit the neighboring forests and influence on the local landscape with their daily activity. But including the historical water systems, the Hue’s unique cultural landscapes would require a more integrated approach than just the definition of such monumental control areas.
For that purpose, a field researchwas carried out in 2014.
Based on the analysis, we came up with 6 topics for sustainable development and a hypothetical scenario for progressive action. These ideas and scenario were discussed with local inhabitants through a participatory workshop in 2015 in terms of enhancing the sustainable management of the Imperial Tomb and the historical-eco system.
