Resources committed to heritage expertise

This indicator is no longer maintained, and is considered OBSOLETE.INDICATOR DEFINITIONThis indicator shows the level of funding provided by the Australian Antarctic Division for heritage expertise.TYPE OF INDICATORThere are three types of indicators used in State of the Environment reporting:1. Describe the CONDITION of important elements of a system;2. Show the extent of the major PRESSUREs exerted on a system;3. Determine RESPONSE to either condition or changes in the condition of a system.This indicator is one of: RESPONSERATIONALE FOR INDICATOR SELECTIONThe resources committed to heritage management are a measurable indicator of Governmental commitment to heritage issues.Australia's human, or cultural, Antarctic heritage includes significant and fundamental activities, sites, buildings, stories and artefacts from the entire 20th Century, ranging from ground-breaking exploration and research to comparatively mundane aspects of day-to-day expedition life. This Antarctic heritage is of significance to Australia, and, particularly in respect to the first half of the 20th Century, to the rest of the world. As the natural elements and the passage of time disperse or destroy those aspects of heritage that are not traced, recorded or curated, the importance of intervention through a heritage management program increases yearly.DESIGN AND STRATEGY FOR INDICATOR MONITORING PROGRAMSpatial scale: For the Australian Antarctic Territory, the whole of Antarctica, and the Territory of Heard Island and the McDonald IslandsFrequency: Annual reportsMeasurement technique: The AAD's Environmental Management and Audit Unit would collate information for this indicator.Budget Parent and Child accounts in the AAD's resource management system will be structured to allow immediate tracking of resources to individual heritage program sub-units.RESEARCH ISSUESLINKS TO OTHER INDICATORSResource allocation for area management and protection

## 指标定义
本指标用于体现澳大利亚南极局（Australian Antarctic Division, 简称AAD）为遗产专业工作提供的资金额度。
## 指标类型
环境状况报告共采用三类指标：
1. 描述系统重要组成要素的状态；
2. 展示作用于系统的主要压力程度；
3. 评估系统状态或状态变化所对应的响应。
本指标属于第三类响应指标。
## 指标遴选依据
遗产管理投入的资源可量化体现政府对遗产事务的投入与承诺。澳大利亚南极人类（文化）遗产涵盖整个20世纪的重要基础性活动、遗址、建筑、历史叙事与人工制品，既包括具有开创性的探险与研究活动，也涵盖探险日常起居中相对平凡的细节。这类南极遗产对澳大利亚具有重要意义，而就20世纪上半叶的遗产而言，其价值更具有全球意义。由于未被追踪、记录或妥善管护的遗产元素会随自然因素与时间流逝而消散或损毁，因此通过遗产管理计划开展干预的必要性逐年提升。
## 指标监测计划的设计与策略
### 空间范围
覆盖澳大利亚南极领地、整个南极洲以及赫德岛和麦克唐纳群岛领地
### 监测频率
年度报告
### 信息采集方式
由AAD的环境管理与审计部门负责本指标相关信息的汇总整理
### 预算配置
AAD资源管理系统中的预算主账户与子账户将进行结构化设置，以便实时追踪拨付至各遗产项目子单元的资金情况
## 研究议题
## 与其他指标的关联
区域管理与保护的资源配置
