Description
Summary:The growth of built heritage, and an increasing public interest for its conservation, combined with depletion of public resources, has lead to the development of the field of heritage management. This field includes cultural and economic understanding of heritage, valorisation of heritage, integral approach to spatial planning, participation of public in the decision-making process, and development of rational and transparent decision-making mechanisms. Decision-aid tools have a specific and highly significant role in this process. The development of evaluation methods is described, and possible uses of various evaluation models in the field of heritage are analysed in the paper.
