Taxila Pakistan’daki altı Dünya Mirası Alanından birisidir. Hemen bütün gelişmekte olan ülkelerde olduğu gibi Taxila Dünya Mirası Alanı da çeşitli yönetim ve güncel arazi kullanımlarından kaynaklanan sorunlarla karşı karşıyadır. Taxila Dünya Mirası Alanının korunması ve etkin yönetiminin sağlanması için öncelikle mevcut durum ve sorunlarının saptanması, elde edilen bu güncel verilere dayalı olarak yeni bir yönetim stratejisi ve politikasının belirlenmesi zorunludur. Bu amaca yönelik olarak 2010 yılı Mart ayında yerinde yapılan araştırma ve gözlemlerle Taxila Dünya Mirası Alanının güncel durumu sorgulanmış ve sorunları saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulguların, Taxila Dünya Mirası Alanının korunması ve etkin yönetimi için geliştirilecek politika ve stratejilere temel oluşturucağı düşünülmektedir
