Funding is requested so that research outcomes from an existing project (SUNDASIA) can be translated into forms of public engagement within the Tràng An Landscape Complex World Heritage property, Vietnam. The activities proposed will make key contributions to a 5-year (2020-25) cultural heritage programme that is being prepared by the Tràng An Management Board in response to specific requests from the World Heritage Committee in 2018 regarding archaeological heritage management and heritage promotion (Decision: 42 COM 7B.62-https://whc.unesco.org/en/decisions/7291). The principal evaluator of this property's archaeological record has been the AHRC/GCRF - Xuan Truong Construction Enterprise co-funded SUNDASIA Project (2016-20), led by the Applicant. This research has been investigating the impact of past environmental change on early human occupation of the Tràng An landscape, and the insights that can bring to dealing with modern human-induced climate change challenges and UN Sustainability Goals.The first stage of the Tràng An cultural heritage programme involves redeveloping what has been a hugely popular film set attraction into an innovative exhibition space that showcases the Outstanding Universal Values of the property. Site inspection by a joint UK and Tràng An Management Board team (led by the Applicant) took place in late 2019. Following further consultation, the overall design concept for the exhibition is planned to incorporate and complement the dramatic forested tower karst peaks that surround the location (an island). Against that backdrop research findings from SUNDASIA will help bring to life Tràng An's deep archaeological record and natural history - the criteria of the property's mixed inscription on the World Heritage List. The island exhibition will comprise two deliverable elements. Outside, situated predominantly along the water's edge, will be a series of 15 life-size bronze (for durability and ease of maintenance) figures of human and animals. These will depict prehistoric scenes in an inter-connected hunter-gather narrative. The placement of these vignettes will ensure visibility from the property's many tourist boats and will include animals that faithfully represent the property's rich past biodiversity. Basic information about what is being portrayed will be relayed to visitors by the boat-rowers, thus introducing an element of personalised narrative and investing local staff with an active role in conveying the property's heritage.Visitors will have the opportunity to disembark and enter the second element of the exhibition: a walk through a small low-profile building in the middle of the island. This will sit unobtrusively in the landscape and offer an informative and sensory experience of the past. The proposed design will have a cave-like character inside while retaining direct natural light and views of the sky and surrounding landscape through a glass ceiling. The display space within will contain multiple elements that showcase the findings of the SUNDASIA project. These will include a cave diorama depicting prehistoric activities around a hearth and a centre-piece facial reconstruction of a 12,000 year old inhabitant of Tràng An. Information panels, video displays and printed matter will convey details in accessible non-academic language, explaining the prehistoric story of the property's cultural heritage, past and future environmental changes affecting this landscape, and associated changes in the state of its biodiversity. AHRC Follow-On Funding is specifically requested to contribute towards the training of local staff in cultural heritage management, documenting of the exhibition's development, and presenting SUNDASIA outcomes to the visiting public through visual, discursive and printed media.

要求提供资金，以便将现有项目（SUNDASI​​A）的研究成果转化为越南长安景观综合体世界遗产地内的公众参与形式。拟议的活动将为 5 年（2020-25 年）做出重要贡献。 ）文化遗产计划，由长安管理委员会根据世界遗产委员会关于考古遗产管理和遗产推广的具体要求制定（决定：42 COM） 7B.62-https://whc.unesco.org/en/decisions/7291）该遗产考古记录的主要评估者是 AHRC/GCRF - Xu Truong Construction Enterprise 共同资助的 SUNDASI​​A 项目（2016-20）。 ，由申请人领导的这项研究一直在调查过去的环境变化对早期人类占领长安景观的影响，以及可以带来的见解。应对现代人类引起的气候变化挑战和联合国可持续发展目标。长安文化遗产计划的第一阶段包括将广受欢迎的电影场景景点重新开发为创新的展览空间，展示长安杰出的普世价值英国和长安管理委员会联合团队（由申请人领导）于 2019 年底对该地产进行了现场检查。经过进一步协商，展览的整体设计理念计划纳入并补充戏剧性的内容在此背景下，SUNDASI​​A 的研究结果将有助于展现长安岛深厚的考古记录和自然历史——这是将该岛列入世界遗产名录的标准。将包括两个可交付的元素。外部，优先位于水边，将有一系列 15 个真人大小的青铜人物和动物人物（为了耐用和易于维护），这些人物和动物将描绘史前场景。这些小插图的放置将确保该酒店的许多游船的可见度，并且将包括忠实代表该酒店过去丰富的生物多样性的动物，这些小插图将通过船只向游客传达。 - 划船者，从而引入个性化叙事元素，并让当地工作人员在传达酒店遗产方面发挥积极作用。参观者将有机会下船并进入展览的第二个元素：步行穿过一个小空间这座位于岛屿中部的低调建筑将不引人注目地坐落在景观中，并提供过去的信息和感官体验。拟议的设计将具有洞穴般的特征，同时保留直接的自然光和天空景观。玻璃天花板内的展示空间将包含多个元素，展示 SUNDASI​​A 项目的发现，其中包括描绘壁炉周围史前活动的洞穴立体模型和一个 12,000 年前的面部重建。信息面板、视频展示和印刷品将以易于理解的非学术语言传达详细信息，解释该遗产的史前故事、影响该景观的过去和未来的环境变化以及其状态的相关变化。特别要求 AHRC 后续资金用于对当地工作人员进行文化遗产管理培训、展览发展记录以及通过视觉、话语和印刷媒体向参观公众展示 SUNDASI​​A 成果做出贡献。
