chapter nine 9.18 The Antonine Wall has not yet achieved its potential in the areas of sustainable economic development, education, research or ecosystems management. To achieve growth in these areas, investment in physical improvements such as signage, paths, interpretive materials and educational resources will be important. Question two Have we fully summarised the projects delivered, and lessons learned from the first Management Plan, or are there projects/ lessons we have missed? 9.19 Active co-ordination is vital to ensure that there is consistency across the WHS, that appropriate contacts and relationships are maintained, not only locally and nationally, but internationally, and that delivery of key aims and objectives is monitored. Promoting the WHS 9.20 Greater engagement with, and more effective communication between, all relevant stakeholders is important. 9.21 Wider public understanding of the importance and values of the Antonine Wall WHS remains limited; public surveys show an awareness of where and what the Antonine Wall is but not why it is important to preserve and present it. 9.22 Multiple ownership of sections of the Wall, plus the fact that it is invisible (surviving below ground) for significant sections, offer particular challenges to ensuring a coherent approach to promoting access to, and understanding of, the monument as a whole. 9.22 The Antonine Wall WHS needs to be appreciated both as a linear entity, linking Scotland to its international Partners, and also as a set of individual places and artefacts that are valuable in their own right. 22
chapter ten looking forward ICOMOS advises that Management Plans for World Heritage Sites should be based on a strategic view over 20-30 years. This allows the development of a framework of longer term aims, which in turn inform the priorities for medium-term objectives, based on the analysis of key current issues. These medium-term objectives can then be used to construct annual action plans to deliver specific projects. 10.2 Long-Term Aims: 2013-43 The six long-term aims to guide future decision making have been identified as follows: 1. Safeguard and enhance the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage Site by managing, conserving and protecting the Site and its cultural and natural landscape setting 2. Promote awareness and understanding of this Outstanding Universal Value to local, regional, national and global audiences by improving physical and intellectual accessibility 3. Realise the World Heritage Site’s full potential as an education and learning resource 4. Build strong structural and organisational partnerships with local, national and international organisations; strengthen engagement with local communities; and contribute to sustainable economic growth Rough Castle 10.1 A Vision for the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site The 30-year vision for the Antonine Wall is as follows: The Antonine Wall will be a World Heritage Site that is well maintained and sustainably managed to safeguard its Outstanding Universal Value; a property that is established as a world-class visitor experience; a catalyst to connect and transform communities locally, nationally and internationally; a focus to realise sustainable benefits economically, socially and environmentally for locals and visitors alike; and a resource for inspiring learning and creating opportunity for participation and discovery. Question three Is the vision appropriate or is anything missing from it? 5. Balance wider environmental concerns in the sustainable management of the World Heritage Site 6. Increase research opportunities nationally and internationally and use this new research to underpin work to protect and promote the World Heritage Site Question four Are there any other strategic, long-term aims which you think should have been considered? 10.3 Current Issues and Medium-Term Objectives Drawing on the longer term, strategic, aims as laid out above, the next step considers the key issues for each of them and identifies medium-term objectives to meet the longer term aims. These medium-term 23
