Cultural heritage management based on values

Summary/Abstract: Cultural heritage management is perceived today as a modern system for the protection of historical monuments. However, the original meaning of heritage is intangible: with the emphasis shifted from the object (monuments) to the subject (recipients). Therefore, not only objects but also people become the area of interest. The aim of this article is to present the concept of heritage management based on values. Literature analysis indicates that numerous values are attributed to historical monuments; the article enumerates almost 130 of them. Drawing upon the experience of axiology, the values should be divided into objective (belonging to the object) and subjective (belonging to the recipient). It will allow for an even better identification of heritage resources, and for adjusting the methods of heritage protection, education and promotion. The presented concept is a starting point for the elaboration of modern methods of preserving the relicts of our past and making use of them by contemporary generations.
