The remarkable success of the 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is borne out by the fact that nearly 1,000 properties have now been designated as possessing Outstanding Universal Value and recognition given to the imperative for their protection. However, the remarkable success of the Convention is not without its challenges and a key issue for many Sites relates to the touristic legacies of inscription. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection, conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites, designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites.

The world and the people living in it are increasingly and rapidly being affected by environmental and technological changes. It is imperative that the design profession addresses these developments with a new way of thinking. This book points the way for the design of interiors in this newly complex world and will be indispensable for students, practitioners and theoreticians. The book is divided into four chapters that explore aspects of the human experience of the interior, from man’s earliest search for shelter to an outline of past and current thinking on design, psychology and well-being. An epilogue looks at such future concerns as population growth and sustainability and suggests how the design profession can confront these challenges. Rethinking Design and Interiors is a fascinating exploration of how art and science can come together for the benefit of those who inhabit the built environment.
The purpose of this report is to examine the transit center concept to determine if and how it might be applied in American cities to provide more efficient and effective transit service on an areawide basis. Transit centers are interchange facilities that will be typically located in suburban areas at or near major activity centers and will serve as focal points for high levels of local, radial, and circumferential transit service. Bus/bus, bus/rail, and auto/rail transfers will occur there.
C’est fut un grand plaisir d’accueillir à Québec les universitaires et les professionnels de 33 pays pour le colloque international: Routes touristiques et itinéraires culturels, entre mémoire et développement. Le programme proposé a permis de mettre en lumière les travaux et les réalisations des participants sur le thème commun des circuits touristiques et des lieux de mémoire. Le caractère pluridisciplinaire des communications présentées et les échanges qui en ont découlés ont été fructueux à plusieurs égards. Cette richesse intellectuelle et scientifique nous permet de mieux comprendre le rôle des circuits touristiques dans la mise en valeur des lieux de mémoire. Non seulement, le secteur de la recherche universitaire en tourisme et patrimoine bénéficiera de ces réflexions, mais également les gestionnaires de circuits et de lieux de mémoire. Soulignons que les communications ont été présentées en français, en anglais ou en espagnol. La diversité s'est illustrée non seulement par l’usage de trois langues, mais aussi à travers les diverses cultures des participants.
