Summary/Abstract: Space and culture are intertwined. Cultural significance is embodied in space, in the specific material dimension of objects. To better understand a place or a city, we should familiarize ourselves with its meaning and explore its cultural resources through a discursive and spatial analysis. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the method of mapping culture. The purpose of the present article is to problematize the way in which culture is placed in space and space is characterized by its cultural resources. The article focuses on the diverse experience of mapping cultural resources, the main participants in the process and the function of the maps. For urban and territorial planning mapping cultural resources could create conditions for community consolidation, management of cultural resources and promotion of cultural diversity and dialogue.
