摘要：

吴哥（Angkor）是9—15世纪高棉王国（Khmer Empire）的都城。吴哥位于柬埔寨暹粒省境内洞里萨湖（Tonle Sap）北面热带森林之中，是世界上最重要的考古遗址之一。吴哥拥有蔚为壮观的建筑群，包括著名的吴哥窟、吴哥城、巴肯寺、女王宫、塔普伦寺、圣剑寺、塔高寺等。1992年，吴哥被联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会列入《世界遗产名录》。作者在对吴哥世界遗产地考察的基础上，指出了这一遗址保护和管理存在的问题，并提出了相关保护对策。尽管自然因素对吴哥遗址构成严重的威胁，但文物盗窃也是一个大问题。吴哥目前面临的主要问题是缺乏有效的管理体制、旅游压力和城市发展。本文提出的相关保护对策包括管理体制、保护法规、国际合作模式、适当的旅游发展等，以促进吴哥世界遗产地的可持续发展。
