ICOMOS advises that <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>s for World<br />

Heritage Sites should be based on a strategic view<br />

over 20-30 years. This allows the development of a<br />

framework of longer term aims, which in turn inform<br />

the priorities for medium-term objectives, based on<br />

the analysis of key current issues. <strong>The</strong>se medium-term<br />

objectives can then be used to construct annual action<br />

plans to deliver specific projects.<br />

10.2 Long-Term Aims: <strong>2013</strong>-43<br />

<strong>The</strong> six long-term aims to guide future decision making<br />

have been identified as follows:<br />

1. Safeguard and enhance the Outstanding<br />

Universal Value of the World Heritage Site by<br />

managing, conserving and protecting the Site<br />

and its cultural and natural landscape setting<br />

2. Promote awareness and understanding of this<br />

Outstanding Universal Value to local, regional,<br />

national and global audiences by improving<br />

physical and intellectual accessibility<br />

3. Realise the World Heritage Site’s full potential<br />

as an education and learning resource<br />

4. Build strong structural and organisational<br />

partnerships with local, national and<br />

international organisations; strengthen<br />

engagement with local communities; and<br />

contribute to sustainable economic growth<br />

10.1 A Vision for the <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong><br />

World Heritage Site<br />

<strong>The</strong> 30-year vision for the <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong> is as follows:<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong> will be a World Heritage Site<br />

that is well maintained and sustainably managed to<br />

safeguard its Outstanding Universal Value; a property<br />

that is established as a world-class visitor experience;<br />

a catalyst to connect and transform communities<br />

locally, nationally and internationally; a focus to<br />

realise sustainable benefits economically, socially<br />

and environmentally for locals and visitors alike;<br />

and a resource for inspiring learning and creating<br />

opportunity for participation and discovery.<br />

Question three<br />

Is the vision appropriate or is anything<br />

missing from it?<br />

5. Balance wider environmental concerns in<br />

the sustainable management of the World<br />

Heritage Site<br />

6. Increase research opportunities nationally<br />

and internationally and use this new research<br />

to underpin work to protect and promote the<br />

World Heritage Site<br />

Question four<br />

Are there any other strategic, long-term<br />

aims which you think should have been<br />

considered?<br />

10.3 Current Issues and Medium-Term<br />

Objectives<br />

Drawing on the longer term, strategic, aims as laid<br />

out above, the next step considers the key issues for<br />

each of them and identifies medium-term objectives<br />

to meet the longer term aims. <strong>The</strong>se medium-term<br />
