Derwent Valley Mills - World Heritage Site

Key Performance Indicators 2011 [96 KB]

World Heritage Sites have an obligation to ensure that their outstanding universal value is being maintained over time and interpreted to the public.  To achieve this, monitoring indicators have been put in place, tailored to the specific values of each World Heritage Site.  All UK World Heritage Sites have been encouraged to base their own key indicators on an extensive list of generic indicators compiled by ICOMOS UK.  The Partnership has selected the indicators relevant to this site and agreed responsibilities for each indicator with key stakeholders.  Included in these indicators is a commitment to conserving and enhancing key views within the World Heritage Site. The latest review of these can be seen here: Monitoring Views 2010
