Research on Culture and Landscapes and their Safeguarding- Survey on Cultural Landscapes in Relation to Land and Sea Uses

对与陆地和海洋用途有关的文化景观进行了调查，确定了菲律宾科迪勒拉斯的水稻梯田的特点和保护问题，该梯田被列入世界遗产名录，在国际上也被认为具有很高的非物质文化遗产价值。通过与有关国际组织协调采访和收集研究材料，对文化景观的概念和保护措施方面的趋势和成就进行了国际比较调查。在研究结束后，举办了一次国际讲习班，目的是掌握国际领域对文化景观的理解的总体情况和多样性程度。

Surveys on cultural landscapes in relation to land and sea uses were conducted and the characteristics and the points at issue for their safeguarding were identified at the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras, which is on the World Heritage List and which is as well regarded internationally as having high intangible cultural heritage value. International comparative surveys were carried out on the trends and achievements in concepts and safeguarding measures for cultural landscapes by interviewing and collecting research materials in coordination with the concerned international organizations. Concluding the research, an international workshop was held aiming to grasp the overall picture and the degree of diversity on the understanding of cultural landscapes in the international sphere.
