The subject of this paper are rules governing protection of world heritage (cultural, natural, common heritage of humankind), on the one hand, and sustainable development on the other. Cultural Heritage and The Common Heritage of Humankind are novel legal tools that have been developed and play a key role in the law of tourism and sustainable development. There are many ways that one state can keep another state from benefiting from its cultural heritage, but international law is there to protect the rights of the host state so that the host can provide travel products and seek sustainable financial gains through tourism. When considering tourism and sustainable development, treaty drafters and legislatures have looked carefully at the products that are produced for touristic purposes; how they are utilized, consumed, reproduced and preserved. Both the needs of the host state and people of that state are reflected in Cultural Heritage law along with its rights, duties, and obligations. The greater needs of humanity are reflected in the Common Heritage of Humankind law with its rights, duties and obligations.

2. Cultural Systems
• What we eat, when we eat and how we eat is an
example of cultural differences
– Some Asian cultures eat with the right hand, East Asian
cultures use chopsticks, Western cultures use knife, fork
and a spoon.
– Certain foods are considered delicacies by some cultures,
unclean and unfit for consumption by others. E.g. shrimp,
snails, worms, insects, etc.
• Voice-tone and level are very culturally specific.
• Body gestures-Japanese bowing, Western shaking
hands, tipping of the hat
• Various marriage customs-intermarriage is accepted
in some societies, but not others
4. • Habit-a repetitive act
by an individual.
• Custom-when an
entire group does it.
• Tradition-the same as
a custom-the term
implies longevity.
• Folk culture-the
enduring, traditional
practices of a people.
• Popular culture-the
rapidly changing
tastes and customs of
a group.
5.
6. Folk or Local Culture:
A group of people in a
particular place who see
themselves as a
collective or a
community, who share
experiences, customs,
and traits, and who work
to preserve those traits
and customs in order to
claim uniqueness and to
distinguish themselves
from others.
7. Hutterite Colonies
in North America
The Hutterites
are an example
of a local culture.
9. Popular Culture:
A wide-ranging group of
heterogeneous people,
who stretch across
identities and across the
world, and who embrace
cultural traits such as
music, dance, clothing,
and food preference that
change frequently and
are ubiquitous on the
cultural landscape.

10. • Kenya and India-
November is the most
popular month for

family where she is
given a new name. The
Indian couple have Sikh

statues of Ganesha, a
elephant-headed deity

11. How do cultural traits diffuse?
Hearth: the point of origin
of a cultural trait.

12. Local cultures are sustained by maintaining
customs.
Custom:
a practice that a group of people routinely follows.
13. Material and Nonmaterial Culture
Material Culture
The things a group of
people construct, such as
art, houses, clothing,
sports, dance, and food.
Nonmaterial Culture
The beliefs, practices,
aesthetics, and values of
a group of people.
Examples-religion,
language, traditions &
customs
14. Local Cultures often have two goals:
1. keeping other cultures out to avoid assimilation. (ie.
create a boundary around itself)
2. keeping their own culture in. (ie. avoid cultural
appropriation-the adoption of customs by other cultures)
15. What role does place play in maintaining
customs?
By defining a place (a town or a neighborhood) or a
space for a short amount of time (an annual
festival) as representing a culture and its values,
members of a local culture can maintain (or
reestablish) its customs and reinforce its beliefs.
16. Rural Local Cultures
• Migration into rural
areas is less frequent.
• Can better separate their
culture from others and
from popular culture.
(Amish, Mennonites,
Hutterites & Mormons
have done this
• Can define their own
space.
• Daily life my be defined
by a shared economic
activity.
17. Makah (Neah Bay, Washington)
Why did the Makah reinstate the whale hunt?
To reinvigorate the local culture.
18. Little Sweden, USA (Lindsborg, KS)
Why did the residents of
Lindsborg define it as a
Swedish place?
Neolocalism: seeking
out the regional culture
and reinvigorating it in
response to the
uncertainty of the
modern world.
19. Urban Local Cultures
• Can create ethnic
neighborhoods within
cities.
• Creates a space to practice
customs.
• Can cluster businesses,
houses of worship, schools
to support local culture.
• Migration into ethnic
neighborhoods can quickly
change an ethnic
neighborhood.
