Cultural Heritage (CH) sites often face the dilemma between the loss of cultural values and hence the loss of identity, due to non-sustainable growth, and economic decline and emigration, due to inappropriate infrastructure and high cost of living

The goalThe goal

www.cherplan.eu/

CHERPLAN aims to provide a strong basis for ensuring compatibility and synergy between CH conservation and socio-economic growth by fostering the adoption of a modern Environmental Planning approach across South East Europe (SEE).Specifically, the project attempts to promote the notion of cultural heritage as a central development factor in the local economy.

The methodologyThe methodology

The Pilot ProjectsThe Pilot Projects

www.cherplan.eu/

A Pilot Project will be implemented in each country. Different types of CH Sites and environmentalsettings have been selected, in rural or urban areas, included into UNESCO World Heritage SitesList or Tentative List, and featuring differentproblems/assets. In these areas the EP Concept (by BOKU-SIG) will be tested by practical application referring to specific site conditions.SWOT Analysis, Action and Business Plans aimed at providing concrete responses and investment for the identified needs will be prepared, thus building a shared vision and consensus on future actions.
