Attributes

Attributes are aspects of a property which are associated with or express the site's values (for World Heritage Sites their Outstanding Universal Value). Attributes can be tangible, intangible or process based. Attributes can be physical qualities or fabric, or the relationships between them. Attributes can also be processes impacting on physical qualities, such as natural or agricultural processes, social arrangements or cultural practices that have shaped distinctive landscapes. For natural properties, they can include landscape features, habitats, aspects of environmental quality (such as intactness, high/pristine environmental quality), scale and naturalness of habitats, and size and viability of wildlife populations.
