Managementul integrat al patrimoniului mondial în România. O propunere a unei structuri de management a viitorului monument UNESCO Limesul roman în Dacia

One of the most known cultural activities of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is the protection of cultural world heritage. A decade ago, UNESCO published a manual called Managing Cultural World Heritage, where the management plan was regarded as a relatively new tool that helped establish the strategy, objectives, actions, and implementation structures for managing and developing cultural heritage in an efficient and sustainable manner. Today, with the newest version of the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention (OG) published in 2021, the management plan is a mandatory part of the nomination dossier of any World Heritage Site (WHS). Moreover, UNESCO recommends that all Member States should draw up such plans for all the sites already inscribed on the World Heritage List, for a more efficient monitoring process. Regardless of the type or size of a WHS, the main goal of the management plan is to preserve the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the site, that made its inscription possible. At the same time, it also provides the proper conservation and valorisation measures. At a national level, there is an intention to inscribe the Roman Limes in Dacia site on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The article proposes a management structure, according to the international provisions harmonized with the Romanian context and legislation, based on the participatory approach that implies involving all key stakeholders.
