Abstract

Abstract This chapter indicates that 'postmodernism' and 'globalization' are essential phenomena when examining heritage management and conservation activities at World Heritage sites (WHSs). The reality of heritage management and conservation activities at WHSs is examined in relation to philosophy and approach, duties and responsibilities, tourism, and Eastern and Western perspectives. A brief case study is presented of the 'Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range', a cultural WHS in Japan.
