A Future for Cultural History of the Dutch Wadden Region:Challenges and Policies in a Maritime Agricultural Landscape
No full textTourism and Heritage:Crafting experiences through innovation
No full textThroughout modern history, tourism and heritage have had an intimate and reciprocal relationship (Ashworth & van Vroger, 2005). Heritage generates tourism, and the latter, in turn, shapes the meanings, uses and physical characteristics of places of heritage, such as monuments, archaeological sites and museums, as well as townscapes and landscapes. However, academic research into this relationship has been minimal. Occasionally social scientists or economists contribute to international discussions of heritage tourism, 1 but our understanding of the historical and cultural dimensions of the relationship between the two domains is still meagre (Lasansky & Mclaren, 2004).</p
Waken voor het korte geheugen: Ontwerpen voor actuele opgaven met jong erfgoed
No full textOntwerpers krijgen steeds vaker te maken met jong erfgoed. Het valt niet altijd mee om daar voldoende recht aan te doen, mede door de druk van urgente opgaven als verstedelijking, sociale segregatie, klimaatverandering en energietransitie.

Conclusion
No full textBeginning in the 1960s, it was environmentalists who put the Wadden Sea and its Frisian or Wadden Islands on the map. Since then, the Wadden Sea area has been defined both by its natural habitat and the area beyond the dikes, ultimately leading in 2009 to the designation of the Wadden Sea proper and its islands, or parts thereof, by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. As such, the outstanding universal value of the Wadden Sea is derived from exclusively ecological and geological definitions, the area being ‘the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world, with natural processes undisturbed throughout most of it’ (UNESCO 2017). In recent years, though, researchers and policymakers have becomee increasingly aware that the Wadden Sea area is not only the Wadden Sea and the islands but also the mainland, particularly the clay areas or marshes extending from Den Helder in the Netherlands to Esbjerg in Denmark. Of course, this has always been where you can hear, see and feel the Wadden Sea: the screeching seagulls, the wide horizon, the unceasing salty sea wind tearing into the trees surrounding the farms and sometimes even into the very shell-permeated clay soils.</p
Introduction
No full textThe Wadden Sea region encompasses the embanked coastal marshes, the islands and the Wadden Sea of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. It has an exceptional common history in many respects: naturally, archaeologically, economically, socially and culturally. These histories, however, are not well known, largely because it has never constituted a political unity. Nonetheless, the region shares coastal landscape and cultural heritage features that are unique in the world. Its settlement history of more than 2,000 years is still mirrored in its maritime-agricultural landscape. The approaches to water management and their related societal organisation developed in this region during the last millennium have set worldwide standards for land reclamation. The Wadden Sea itself has been placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for its outstanding universal value as an area of natural beauty since 2009. In this book, we focus on the Waddenland — the mainland marshes and the islands — and address the heritage, landscape and history of this area, which is closely interlinked with that of the Wadden Sea.</p
