Summary/Abstract: Cultural heritage is the social and economic, spiritual and cultural capital of irreplaceable value. Along with riches of nature, this is undoubtedly one of the main foundations of national self-esteem and recognition of the community around the world. The cultural heritage sites (CHS) are the monuments of history and culture. They are items of immovable property with associated works of art and other objects of material culture that have appeared as a result of historical events, which are valuable in terms of history, architecture, urban planning, economics and other sciences. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that all over the world, primarily in economically developed countries, objects of cultural heritage are preserved or restored with great care. They are the history of any nation and the criterion of its spirituality. This requires not only large financial costs but also causes disagreements in society since objects of cultural heritage create difficulties for new constructions because architectural monuments must be preserved in their historical context, both large architectural ensembles and single objects. Different social groups value the objects of the past in different ways, the issue of demolishing the building causes public unrest. This is due to the fact that environmental protection and preservation of cultural heritage is a fairly new phenomenon. In the modern world, the preservation of cultural heritage is becoming one of the main priorities of socio-economic development in many cities of the planet. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results of this paper as recommendations for improving the cultural heritage in all respects.
