Abstract
The concept of heritage, whether natural or cultural, is at the heart of the establishment
of protected areas as a manifestation of the desire to preserve a now endangered
state, a process or a phenomenon inherited from the past. The author analyzes different
ideological basis for this urge for preservation it and from that perspective he examines
his own work as a scientific assistant for cultural heritage in the Učka Nature Park.
The history of the mountainous Istria is presented intertwined with different examples
of the storage or retention of social memory in that landscape, and in this context,
it examines the social role of protected areas as a mechanism of transfer and creation
of social memory.
