• Only the physical features of a location

• The historical, emotional, and interactive layers of a site

• The economic value of a location

How does the United Nations view World Heritage Sites?

• As mere ancient ruins

• As places of no current significance

• As sites only for historical study

• As living landscapes where people live and work

What is the purpose of including World Heritage Sites in contemporary human geography studies?

• To study only their economic impact

• To ignore their current significance

• To understand the connection between past and present landscapes

• To focus solely on their ancient history
