Abstract
Sustainable development in the conservation of cultural heritage presupposes the knowledge of the resources of the heritage, their exploitation to the their established limits and the restriction of the development with the aim of their preserving. The cultural heritage consists of: cultural landscape, historical buildings, particular buildings and movable heritage. Its values could be recognized as: age group, historical, cultural and emotive.
Limitations in exploiting cultural heritage, or elements of sustainable development, could be analyzed on several levels. On the level of the landscape scenery it can be connected with the building of communications, industrial and power supply facilities, and with the magnitude of business, tourist trade and residential buildings. We can distinguish urban and rural historical areas. In urban areas the limitations are connected with traffic, transformation of substance and new building areas that gradually change the general picture of a city, while in rural areas we have new building activities, dividing land into lots and roads, land cultivation and the relation towards landscape scenery. On the level of a particular building, the limitations could be found in the process of revitalisation, that are related with the transformation of the purpose and styling, infrastructure, physics and construction of buildings, organisation of the area and the establishment of the relation of exterior and interior.
Sustainable development of the cultural heritage is being analysed in its interior and exterior aspect. In the interior aspect, in the direction of conscious amortization or elimination of the causes of degradation and in the exterior aspect, with additional set restrictions of plans and programmes of development. Within the framework of set parameters different designs and solutions have been established, and various strains in interpreting and analysing indirect profit for the local community as a whole have been amortized.
