Archaeological Heritage Enhancement in the City and in the Landscape

The chapter examines the possibilities of enhancement and planning of immovable archaeological heritage in situ from the perspective of urban and spatial planning. The aim of the research is to develop scientific starting points for the enhancement, preservation and sustainable use of archaeological heritage. The research is based on the deductive method whose results are confirmed by qualitative measurement obtained from field research conducted in Croatia and Italy. The survey included selected sites (case studies) in urban areas and in the landscape. The results of the research are defined spatialmodels of archaeological heritage planning: archaeological heritage in suburban recreational and leisure areas, archaeological heritage in protected natural areas, urban integration of archaeological heritage, archaeological heritage in tourism areas, archaeological heritage in the vicinity of important road infrastructure or traffic nodes, and the combined model. In addition to the basic planning models, the research includes specific archaeological heritage planning models (Council of Europe Cultural Routes, the European Heritage Label and World Heritage). and the cultural landscape model as a contemporary archaeological heritage planning model.
