Cultural landscape concept role in the natural-cultural heritage continuum maintaining

Abstract

The relevance of natural and cultural heritage preservation in their interaction seems indisputable at first glance. However, at the management level this topic often becomes a stumbling block, which is quite clearly seen in Russian World Heritage sites. This problem is permanently discussed at the international level, and international methodological tools are actively supplemented by new developments on the integrity and interdependence of the natural and cultural components of the heritage. The natural-cultural continuum of heritage sites is most clearly seen in cultural landscapes, which should be considered not only as one of the types of public property, but alo as a method and concept for comprehending natural and cultural heritage phenomena.
