AbstractIn the past years, many geoparks have been established all over the world, based mainly on the geoheritage, and partly on the cultural heritage, of the regions. Their main aim is to promote the spatial development of certain regions, especially by the development of tourism, including geo- and ecotourism. One of the newest geoparks is the Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark along the border of Slovakia and Hungary, which, having a high status, belongs to the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network. What is remarkable about it is that it was the very first cross-border geopark. Because of historical elements and due to political intentions, borders often play a more disjunctive than connective role, and the changes of the borders in the 20th century often distorted the spatial structure and turned former peripheries into flourishing regions. This was characteristic also of the regions where the Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark was established. Beyond the perspective for the spatial development of these regions, this cross-border geopark forces directly the local authorities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on both sides of the border to maintain tighter contacts for co-operation, promoting by this means also better connections between the two countries.

Supervisors: Sam Kebbell, Martin Bryant This design-led research project addresses the rapid environmental degradation and socioeconomic decline to which many of New Zealand's low-lying swampland regions have succumbed. The research critiques existing settlement patterns, investigating innovative urban forms that work dually to reactivate the wetland environments while increasing population density to levels required for public systems to function sustainably and vitally. The design project identifies a squared-off urban conservation wetland, transforming it into a new Wetland Square: a civic heart of the region’s natural and cultural heritage. A Market Pier is also proposed, extending from the urban edge of the town square towards the central wetland lagoon. The research rethinks traditional land conservation practice in New Zealand’s settled regional landscapes, stressing architecture’s responsibility to reconcile urban, ecological and cultural heritage systems to ensure environmental and community resilience in the regional landscape.

The Impact

The contemporary African city tends to become a geographic platform for establishing and showing a territorial spatial–social identity. This shows that global openness and accessibility may run parallel to closed and fragmented cultural clusters. Urban scholarship calls for a broader orientation in the field of cultural heritage dynamics, with a focus on the following: citizenship and identity, economic creative activities and innovation, the impact of popular culture, and the interface between traditional societal perspectives and open attitudes regarding contemporary interwoven cultures. Against this background, African cities have always been meeting places for people of different cultures, education, and talents. The contemporary African city is an open milieu, where ideas from a diversity of cultures and nations come together. The major challenge for a modern African city will be to turn possible tensions in such a intercultural milieu into positive synergetic energy.

Cultural Heritage Objects

The level of information security of the cultural heritage of the region has a direct impact on the spatial development of the territory. Most often this is expressed in the quantity and quality of scientific research in this area, measures to protect and popularize the cultural heritage of the region, and, as a result, the level of development of educational tourism in this area. The widespread accessibility of the Internet in our country, as well as the annual enormous increase in the number of mobile Internet users, makes it possible to disseminate a large amount of heterogeneous information as quickly and efficiently as possible. Therefore, web technologies are rationally applied to increase the level of information security of cultural heritage objects. Geospatial information perceived by the user preferably in a graphical form, for example, using interactive maps and web-GIS. To create them, you need to integrate web technologies and geoinformation mapping. The article presents a study of the advantages and disadvantages of using web technologies in cartography. In the process of research, a technology for creating web GIS of cultural heritage objects was developed, based on the integration of web technologies and geoinformation mapping. The article describes in detail the main stages and features of creating such geoinformation products, as well as the requirements for them. A prototype of the web GIS “Cultural heritage of the Novosibirsk region” has been developed.it can be used by any person for educational purposes, as well as by territorial bodies of protection of cultural heritage objects, local governments, construction organizations, road enterprises, land use and subsoil use enterprises, educational and scientific organizations, as well as tour operators and other economic entities.

This research aims to start the process of the revitalization of peri-urban spaces with high landscape and cultural potential, dotted with a series of heritage landmarks that allude to the recent industrial, economic and cultural history of the region, currently semi-degraded or abandoned, as is the case with the impressive and steep miller landscape of the Tajos de Alhama de Granada. To achieve this, it is proposed to carry out a comprehensive documentation (historical, cartographic, planimetric, photographic and photogrammetric) of the study area since, until now, there were no similar research studies. The application of an organized and structured method of work, documentation and diagnosis using the tools and graphic techniques of the 21st century has offered extensive results that have been turned into a rigorous and systematic catalog. This catalog will serve as the basis for the promotion of integrated action plans for the recovery of this urban edge, with the triple objective of the rehabilitation of buildings of architectural interest, rehabilitation of the surrounding public space and consolidation of the historic complex that makes up the mills, the river, the landscape and the city. We conclude that the enhancement of the cultural heritage landscape of the Tajos and the guidelines provided for the rehabilitation of its historic water mills, with possible compatible uses (tourist, cultural or administrative), will favor the conservation and sustainable revitalization of such an exceptional heritage site.

The results of the research of preserved Volynian Roman-catholic churches of the interwar period are represented in the article. During the 1920-30s many cathedrals were built in the region, which became an element of the Polish strengthening in the annexed eastern territories. The power legitimization in Volyn had a great importance because of the polyethnic character of this region and the numeral majority of the Orthodox population. Till our time predominantly stone cathedrals were preserved, which represent the wide architectural-style range and reflect the change process of the style priorities from the folk-romantic direction to constructivism. Besides, each cathedral played a great role in the planning and spatial development of the settlements; it was the compositional center of the building complex, the architectural accent. The state care and preservation of the Roman-catholic churches today is a feature of recognition of these buildings as a part of the European cultural heritage.

The Baltic seashore cities Liepaja, Ventspils and Palanga people’s relationships with the sea had an impact on architectural quality of surrounding, which reflect understanding of the economic, culture and art. One of the sustainable development preconditions is identity, which can be achieved by identification, preservation and restoration of cultural heritage, natural objects and specific landscape. Identity of city environment is formed by cultural heritage that encodes information about many processes in the past. There is limited knowledge of the identity of coastal cities in the Baltic countries, where living environment is rich with forms and structures, which can satisfy individual's physical and mental needs, and inspire new ideas. To realize sustainable and balanced development of the Baltic seashore cities Liepaja, Ventspils and Palanga, structural changes are carried out using different spatial development models.The goal of this research is to compare models of sustainable spatial development of the Baltic seashore Latvian cities Liepaja and Ventspils, as well as Lithuanian city Palanga, and to assess their effects on the citizen quality of life.
