2. Include them through the participation of appropiate stakeholders
People for whom socio-economic concerns are a priority:
can be part of the planning team, depending of local realities.
Sarstún Management Consortium,
Cerro San Gil Executive Board.
should be invited to the CAP workshops and meetings, and their points of view should be taking into account.

3. Include them as a crucial part of the context
Collect and/or develop social, economic and cultural information about your area of work.
Include that information appropiately in the Situation Analysis of your targets (as stakeholders, indirect threats or factors, opportunities, etc.)

4. Viability, Integrity and Significance Analysis
Include them as targets

5. Categories and examples of Cultural, Economic and Social Targets
Tangible Cultural Targets
Archaeological Sites
Archaeological Sites grouped in Cultural Zones
Cultural Movable Objects
Historical documents
Historical Buildings
Non-tangible Cultural Targets
Sacred Sites (mix of both…)
Traditional knowledge
Oral traditions
Indigenous culture (as a whole…)

6. Categories and examples of Cultural, Economic and Social Targets
Economic Activities
Tourism
Fisheries
Forestry
Cattle Ranching
Agriculture
Social “Aspects” (a better term??)
Land tenure security
Access to basic services
Community cohesiveness
Community participation
Governance?

7. Considerations for the inclusion of Cultural, Economic and Social Targets
They should exist within the boundaries of the planning site.
They should be closely (inextricably??) linked to the management of the planning site.
Ideally, there should be organizations and people interested in their “management”
do not define “orphan” strategies.

8. Lessons learned regarding the inclusion of Cultural, Economic and Social Targets
CAP logic works well for cultural targets and economic activities (we are testing it for social aspects…)
All need a conceptual adaptation, like this...Cultural Integrity Analysis.ppt
Short threat analysis – directly to sources of pressure – it may work better for non-tangible cultural targets, economic activities and social aspects.
Try to do Situation Analysis first, in order to organize the causation chain of your threats.
Strategic objectives for non-tangible cultural targets have focused on the improvement of the key attributes, instead of abating threats that are beyond the reach of managers.
