World Heritage in Macau and its Blocked view problems

This paper discusses the problems affecting blocked views of Macao cultural heritage sites. The study found that Macau's heritage structures are increasingly facing challenges related to blocked views, which threaten their historical and aesthetic integrity. Through case studies like the blocked view of Guia Lighthouse in Nov. 2018, its incident was found that the Macao Historical Centre had been repeatedly warned by UNESCO about these blocked view problems. At the same time, the Macao government urgently needs effective management strategies to protect the heritage and historical value of Macao's cultural landmarks in visual side. This study contributes to the broader discussion on cultural heritage conservation and provides actionable insights for policy makers and conservationists aiming to mitigate blocked view problems in cultural heritage conservation.
