Application of analysis, characterization and evaluation of the cultural landscape of Stari Grad on Hvar in conservation study

Ovim radom provedeno je istraživanje strane i domaće literature, legislative i internetskih baza kako bi se dobio uvid u različite pristupe zaštiti, upravljanju i planiranju krajobraza. Posebna pozornost stavljena je na kulturne krajobraze a istraživanje se odnosilo na Ameriku, Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo, Nizozemsku i Hrvatsku. Istraživanjem je ustanovljeno kako je svaka od država, osim Hrvatske, razvila pristupe kojima bi identificirala i zaštitila svoje krajobraze. U Hrvatskoj je za sada konzervatorska podloga jedini institucionalizirani alat koji omogućuje identifikaciju i zaštitu kulturnih krajobraza. Usporedbom konzervatorske podloge sa stranim alatima (CLI, CLR, LCA, HLC, BOL) utvrđeno je da su nedefiniranost metoda izrade i neprisutnost primjene analize i valorizacijekrajobraza glavni nedostaci konzervatorske podloge kada je riječ o kulturnim krajobrazima. Iz toga je razloga nakon provedenog istraživanja, na primjeru kulturnog krajolika Starogradsko polje, prikazana mogućnost upotrebe alata Procjene karaktera krajobraza pri izradi konzervatorske podloge.This thesis conducted a survey of foreign and domestic literature, legislation and online database to obtain an insight into the different landscape protection, management and planningapproaches. Particular emphasis was placed on cultural landscapes, with the research referring to the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the Republic of Croatia. The research found that each country developed approaches to identify and protect their landscapes except Croatia. For the time being, the only institutional tool that provides the identification and protection of cultural landscapes in the aforementioned country is a conservation study. By comparing this study with foreign tools, such as CLI, CLR, LCA, HLC, BOL, it was determined that the lack of definition of the evaluation method, as well as the absence of the landscape analysis and valorization application are study’s main disadvantages, in regard to cultural landscapes. Therefore, the possibility of using a Landscape Character Assessment as a tool for landscape analysis and evaluation, while developing a conservation study, was presented on the example of the cultural landscape of the Stari Grad Plain
