Abstract
Increased public interest in the cultural landscape of the coastal environment has led to the first conservation treatment of the drystone walls. This paper addresses the terminological inconsistencies of the process of conservation. It is interesting that this landscape structuring can be approached from various aspects of cultural heritage protection – landscape, physical structures and manual skills – and in that sense, their protection is both an academic exercise and an establishment of practice. Spatial planning and the commitment of investors to the preservation of the kažun along the section of the motorway that crosses the territory where they are most densely located presented us with the opportunity to test all three approaches: “etnozone” and the preventive protection of the cultural landscape, the treatment of individual buildings, and the popularisation of the necessary practical skills required for these activities. The author analyses and interprets the methods of protection, restoration and preservation based on the established theories of cultural heritage protection, and compares the findings with examples from Italy.
Finally, the author lists suggestions on how to improve manner in which society safeguards this type of cultural heritage.
