  1. The term “property” refers to the specific area that is directly listed as a World Heritage site. The “Buffer Zone” is defined as an auxiliary protection area that surrounds or adjoins the main protected area. The purpose of this buffer zone is to provide an additional layer of protection, which assists in mitigating the negative impacts of external factors on the principal heritage site.
