Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify and evaluate the first public green areas that were created during the rule of Austria-Hungary in the towns of Sarajevo and Mostar. The research rests on the earlier research of park heritage from the Ottoman period, contributing to the unification of these issues and representing a valuable contribution to the heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research involves the review of professional literature on style, structure of plant material and the content of the first public green areas. Written sources include professional literature, publications and articles from professional journals, whereas graphic sources cover field situations, cadastral maps, park plans and photographs. Based on the identification and analysis of the presence of architectural and biological elements and available documents, an assessment is made of the existing conditions, on which basis the proposals of measures to protect and preserve the valuable park agglomeration of the Austro-Hungarian era are offered (reconstruction, revitalization, replicas, evaluation, recomposition, conservation and others). The researched parks have experienced various changes over time in terms of different garden styles and selection of plant material. Since they combine the elements of several epochs, restoring them to their original state would be impossible. For the purpose of their reconstruction, it is important to establish a balance between volume and proportion, colors and lines, perspectives and scenes, field and plant forms, former and present content.
