Integrated management tools in the heritage of South-East Europe

As part of the Institutional Capacity Building Plan, a transnational theme-based debate was organized. The second step in this debate stemmed from an assessment of requests from the countries/regions participating in the Regional Program, and was concerned with tools for integrated management of the cultural and natural heritage, in the broad sense of the term "heritage" (the concept of cultural environment). It linked together three key topics previously identified: documentation systems; incorporating the heritage dimension in environment, regional development and town planning documents; and permits, controls and penalties related to heritage conservation work. The focus in this second step remained on the basic concept of integrated conservation of the cultural and natural heritage.--Publisher's description.
