Cultural landscape heritage of Ukraine - conceptualisation, structuring and atlas mapping

Abstract

This study aims to develop conceptual and methodological approaches to the consider-ation of the cultural landscape heritage of Ukraine as a subject area of scientific re-search and its thematic electronic atlas mapping. The creation of an atlas "Ukraine. Cultural Landscape Heritage"will be a priority measure that will accelerate the rate at which the cultural landscape approach can be put into practice and disseminated na-tionally. The study is based on: analysis and synthesis of the fundamental documents on the implementation of the concept of cultural landscape in international law for the purposes of protection of both cultural and natural heritage; study and analysis of the practical experience of individual European countries in applying the concept of cul-tural landscape in the context of its identification, typology, cartographic visualization and promotion as cultural and natural heritage; analysis of the current state of legisla-tive, regulatory, methodological support and practical results in ensuring the protection and use of cultural landscapes of Ukraine and conceptualization and processing of the definitions of "cultural landscape"and "cultural landscape heritage"in the context of preservation of cultural and natural heritage.
