Nadat de Zuiderzee afgesloten werd, raakte de Zuiderzeevisserij in verval. Hierdoor konden veel vissers uit Spakenburg niet meer rondkomen en besloten zij de schepen op te ruimen. Deze scriptie onderzoekt wat de toekomst van deze wrakken is. Door de onderwater onderzoeken die deel uitmaakte van de Basis cursus Maritieme archeologie, te vergelijken met nog bestaande schepen en scheepsconstructie tekeningen zal het onderzoek potentieel duidelijk worden. Aan de hand van kwantitatieve interviews zal de publieke opinie van Spakenburg gepeild worden. Het duidelijk maken hoe verschillende groepen mensen naar de wrakken op het botterkerkhof kijken. Als laatst zal er gekeken worden naar de zichtbaarheid van de wrakken. Dit zal gebeuren onder andere door een wandeling door het landschap.Show less

It is argued here that although UNESCO is attempting to be inclusive of a variety of cultures, it still operates from a Eurocentric perspective and this creates unrealistic expectations of nation states that have a different cultural and institutional construction. The archaeological site of Nemrud Daǧ, located in southeastern Turkey, was chosen as a case study to illustrate the arguments made in this paper. This thesis could be interpreted as an in-depth stakeholder analysis for the site, highlighting problematic areas between stakeholders and the social, political and economic context which create them. The emphasis here is on the context that creates significance as opposed to the significance itself. This is because it is these factors that dictate significance and also create obstacles with participation. The Turkish Republic is not in the same position as Western Europe, yet it has a long history of aspiring to be. This is what makes the position of the country and its attitudes towards heritage so fascinating.Show less

Not only can tourism broaden the perspective of travellers, but it also helps contribute to the economy of many countries that may otherwise struggle in financially tough times. Yet, still, despite all the benefits, travellers, visitors, and tourists (TV&T) do take a toll on our common global heritage. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative type thesis is to uncover certain negative physical and social impacts of tourism on heritage sites around the world and on various ethnic groups and/or Indigenous Peoples. The research for this thesis led to the discovery that heritage sites have been either directly or indirectly negatively impacted by TV&T and/or the greater tourism industry in many ways. The physical impacts were found to be in the forms of TV&T producing vandalising graffiti and erosion caused by their movements, their impact on the microclimate of caves containing ancient wall art, touching or keeping pieces of cultural heritage artefacts and the greater tourism industry initiating the placement of both temporary and permanent forms of construction. It was also discovered that TV&T and/or the greater tourism industry has caused various negative social impacts on the perceived sense of sanctity of various heritage sites and to the Indigenous Peoples living among them in the forms of ‘Naked Tourism’ and overcrowding at Machu Picchu and the city of Venice, Italy. Lastly, an exploration into the social impact of the commodification of Indigenous Peoples by the greater tourism industry led to the realisation that this can and has led to the exploitation of many of these peoples and the change in the significance of many of their cultural materials.Show less

This Thesis aims to highlight such impacts as well as assessing archaeological destruction of such monuments. Additionally, there will be shed light on various possible methods to prevent further and future damage to Petra's ancient monuments while giving attention to various stakeholders in the process.Show less
