| Summary: | Recently, there are various threats encountering the cultural
heritage worldwide. Indeed, these threats make conservation and
management of cultural heritage a complex process to deal with.
Since the 1970s, the UNESCO started to issue many guidelines
and charters related to the management and conservation of the
cultural heritage. Meanwhile, the Cultural Heritage Management
(CHM) including sustainability has become a significant concept
especially in the European countries. Turkey and Egypt are
famous for their diversified cultural and natural heritage
attractions which give an opportunity for both countries to be
appealing tourist destinations Nevertheless, cultural heritage of
Turkey and Egypt suffers from several major problems at
present. All of these require a selective policy, urgent
conservation, constant monitoring, protection, and maintenance.
This paper aims to examine and compare cultural heritage
management in both countries according to specific criteria
which will evaluate the current situation of the cultural heritage
management in Turkey and Egypt from different aspects (legal
framework, institutional/administrational framework, resources,
and current challenges). Also, this paper shows how the cultural
heritage management has been developed in both countries.
Generally, it highlights the increasing importance of cultural
heritage management. Furthermore; it will emphasize the
significance of sustainability practices in managing world
heritage sites.
