Title: Institutional and Normative Aspects, Challenges and Perspectives in the Identification and Protection of Cultural Landscapes
Authors: Plamena Zayachka

Abstract: As a result of the changes in the concept of cultural heritage, whose content, territorial scope, boundaries and social functions are expanding, today places of memory go beyond an individual monument, memorial, ensemble – they include culinary traditions and routes, heritage cities, intangible values and cultural landscapes. This article reviews and analyzes the development of cultural landscapes as part of cultural heritage and traces the affirmation of the concept of cultural landscape in legislative practices and international documents. Emphasis is placed on the case of Bulgaria, the attempts and challenges to identify remarkable Bulgarian cultural landscapes.

Keywords: Cultural Landscapes; Cultural Heritage; Protection; UNESCO; Council of Europe; ICOMOS; ICOM.
