MEASURING HERITAGE CONSERVATION PERFORMANCE 6th International Seminar on Urban Conservation (Melo, 2010)? Given that in western culture, man is traditionally stood apart from nature and that this has reflected directly in the management of spaces, reflection on overcoming this dichotomy must be made in order to establish policies for conservation of cultural landscapes. This debate is fundamental since this reflection must occur in different institutions that work with the cultural and natural heritage, both in UNESCO and the States that are part of the agreement, such as Brazil. Distinct institutions will follow divergent ways from that proposed by the concept of cultural landscapes, which seeks to enhance the relationship between man and environment in an integrated manner, understanding the landscape as something unique. As a result of this institutional organization, there are protection actions carried out for historic sites that consider only architectural and urban values to the detriment of natural elements, as well as some heritage which is valued only for their natural value. This attitude reveals the difficulty of understanding the cultural landscape, which must be understood in its specificity of a single heritage property, considering the multiple relationships between man and environment from the tangible and intangible elements, natural and cultural. This reflection aims to bring to light some challenges to be faced by international and national heritage agencies in the creation of tools aiming to guide the management of heritage under the category of cultural landscape in accordance with defined policies. Conclusion Given the above, it seems that there are still many paths to be followed in the theoretical and methodological understanding of the cultural landscape as a category of heritage property. Despite its institutionalization for nearly 20 years, questions remain; not only for the tools that guide conservation policies, created by national and international agencies aiming to manage cultural landscapes as heritage, but also the shape of the cultural landscape category as incorporated into the UNESCO heritage list. In this sense, it was treated in the text as the category of cultural landscape as it was incorporated into World Heritage. UNESCO, when including different schools of thought through the three subcategories of cultural landscape, shows a tendency to highlight landscapes related to traditional communities living in close contact with nature or landscape interventions, while there is a lack of metropolitan areas and medium size cities conceived as cultural landscapes. Given this gap, new categories were created, such as the Historic Urban Landscape, seeking to integrate the large cities holistically into the Heritage list. However, a better understanding of the cultural landscape from the theoretical concept addressed in the New Cultural Geography would tend to minimize the misunderstandings that have already occurred. Understanding the landscape as cultural heritage that can be read through records produced by man, endowed with strong symbolism, includes not only traditionally occupied areas or places where the presence of nature is striking, but also allows for the insertion onto the list of towns and cities of medium size replete with symbolism and a strong relationship between man and nature. In this context, we hope to have contributed to reflection on the questions and challenges that are presented by the heritage category of cultural landscape. We have tried to bring to the debate some specificities of the theoretical and methodological conceptualization of the cultural landscape in order to contribute to the ‘paradigm shift’ that relies on the cultural significance, which is one of the instruments of assessment and identification of heritage, among them, the landscape.
