 nar 16th of May 5-7 p.m. CRASSH Room SG2*\n\nStephen Bond\n \nMA HonDArt F
 SA MRICS GradDipConsAA\n\nStephen will talk about his recent experiences w
 ith international and UK projects related to heritage and will outline les
 sons to be learned. \nStephen Bond runs UK-based consultancy\, Heritage Pl
 aces\, providing advice for the historic environment to national and local
  government\, public sector funding bodies\, and property management\, dev
 elopment and institutional clients.  From 1991-98\, he undertook a seven y
 ear secondment to the Board of Historic Royal Palaces\, at that time a UK 
 Government agency\, initially as its Surveyor of the Fabric\, and subseque
 ntly as Director of the Tower Environs Scheme - a major regeneration schem
 e focused on the urban setting of the Tower of London\, a World Heritage S
 ite. \n \nStephen is associate course director of the College of Estate Ma
 nagement’s Masters Programme in Conservation of the Historic Environment
  at Reading University.  He is also involved in international projects as 
 a site management specialist.  Recent work of this kind has included provi
 ding management advice and capacity building programmes for government off
 icials and World Heritage Site managers in Vietnam\, Azerbaijan\, Georgia\
 , Sri Lanka\, Bali and India. \n\nDe Montfort University in the UK awarded
  him an honorary doctorate in 1998 in recognition of his contribution to b
 uilding surveying and conservation.  He lectures widely on a range of heri
 tage matters including policy\, management and heritage value issues.\nHe 
 joint-authored ‘Managing Built Heritage – the role of cultural signifi
 cance’\, published by Wiley-Blackwell in 2008.  A second edition is curr
 ently in preparation.\n\nTatiana V Vakhitova\n\nPhD Candidate Centre for S
 ustainable Development University of Cambridge \n\nCultural Heritage and I
 mpact Assessment process:  lessons from the UK World Heritage sites\n\nThe
 ory and a variety of legislation in different countries recommend approach
 ing heritage in a holistic way\, placing social value and interaction betw
 een human-made and natural environments at the core of cultural heritage u
 nderstanding (e.g. NZ ICOMOS Charter 2010\, Quebec Declaration 2008\, Vien
 na Memorandum 2005). Nonetheless the prevailing practice is still to emplo
 y a limited view focusing on physical fabric (historic and aesthetic value
 s)\, and limited consideration of cultural heritage in the majority of cit
 y planning decisions.\n\nImpact Assessment tools\, such as Environmental I
 mpact Assessment\, aim to provide more sustainable choices for decision-ma
 kers in city planning\, used widely in the EU-practice\, and have heritage
  as a category among other environmental and social categories. Improved u
 nderstanding of heritage in an impact assessment process would add to more
  sustainable outcomes (socially aware\, environmentally sound). There is a
  scope for better integration of categories\, cross-referencing impacts on
  heritage\, and more engagement with local communities. The world’s most
  well-known and arguably most protected sites with officially identified h
 eritage – World Heritage sites – provide lessons for a general case on
  heritage management and assessment of impact. \n\nResearch on the boundar
 ies of heritage and impact assessment fields contributes with an improved 
 understanding of cultural heritage and with a framework for an integrated 
 approach to impact assessment process applied in culturally significant ur
 ban areas. Developed framework and criteria for introducing change in hist
 oric urban areas should help to achieve agreement between different stakeh
 olders\, allowing a smoother and a more inclusive process\, and leading to
  less need for monitoring from international bodies (e.g. for World Herita
 ge sites these are UNESCO and ICOMOS).\n   \nResearch interests: Sustainab
 le (educational) Built Environment\, Cultural Heritage in Environmental an
 d Social Impact assessment Tools\; Sustainable Heritage management\n
