Bus/Financial - International Org/Dev/Coop / state of conservation of urban heritage sites
English term or phrase: assets
Bonsoir,
Comment traduiriez-vous "assets" dans ce contexte. Voici l'extrait :

AN INDICATOR FOR MEASURING THE STATE OF CONSERVATION OF URBAN HERITAGE SITES
For more than forty years, indicators have been used for analyzing the performance of environmental, social, economic, urban and regional planning (Carley 1981; Wong 2006). In the specific case of conserving heritage sites, the use of indicators is very new. Attempts to construct indicators for assessing conservation **assets** were developed in 1999 (IAPH 1999); 2000 (Carruthers et al 2001); 2006 (UNESCO/WHC 2006, 7); and 2007 (UNESCO/WHC 2007). It was only in 2007 that WHC/UNESCO laid down that the objectives of the conservation indicators were those of (WHC/UNESCO, 2007):

- Maintaining the significance and the universal values;
- Maintaining the integrity and authenticity;
- Identifying the threats;
- Evaluating the management;
- Evaluating the public use.
And that the proposed uses of the indicators were:
- To be capable of showing tendencies towards change in the **assets** (urban areas);
- To permit comparison of current and prior performance in conserving the **assets**;
- To permit comparison between one specific **asset** and another;
- To permit the comparison of the performance of an **asset** relative to international standards of conservation.
Giving such a structure to objectives leads to adopting a classical division of the types of indicators: those of pressure (threats to the **asset**), those of state (universal values, authenticity and integrity) and those of response (management and public use of the **asset**).

agree  Savvas SEIMANIDIS: Dobar dan ! En effet, "éléments du patrimoine" est un terme plus précis que le générique "biens", compte tenu du contexte.
