Abstract (in English)

Several international conventions pay great attention to the safeguarding of the surroundings of protected monuments, landscapes and archaeological goods. In many national legislations, mechanisms aiming at a similar kind of protection were developed. The purpose of this contribution is to examine the protection of “buffer zones” in the international legal context and in the legislation into force in Belgium, more specifically in the Flemish Region. From a legal point of view, several possibilities do exist: specific rules can be developed within the framework of heritage legislation, but the surroundings of protected goods can also be protected by means of legislation on urban development. Protecting and maintaining a valuable monument or archaeological site in their historic environment, a landscape in its beautiful natural setting, can contribute in a considerable way to the safeguarding of the spirit of a place. Even if the commented legal rules consider in the first place the more tangible heritage, the awareness of the existence of a profound relationship between tangible and intangible heritage and the need for integrated conservation are the starting points for the contribution.
