Abstract (in English)

This paper argues that an appropriate cultural policy and a relevant conservation system are productive factors for preserving the organic link between the monuments and their settings while reflecting the dynamics of modern development. An advanced legislation should ensure correlation between conservation, territorial planning and environmental protection and thus would safeguard the monuments and their surroundings. The laws and regulations should be stimulating, rather than restrictive, in order to promote local interest in the process. The administration, supervision and control over the activities carried out on the monuments, settings and contiguous zones are more successful through close coordination between central and local, formal and informal bodies. The strategy for financing preservation could be efficient if focused on seeking new sources, such as controlled cultural tourism. The management of cultural resources is deemed to ensure the interaction between conservation and sustainable development while preserving the cultural continuity and the integrity of the sites and their settings. A concisely presented case study of Plovdiv could illustrate the impacts of the current conservation system in Bulgaria. At present a joint project between ICOMOS-Bulgaria and ICOMOS-Japan is in progress on the particular site. Such cooperation is unprecedented in ICOMOS society.
