KULTURNI TURIZAM I ZAŠTITA ARHITEKTONSKE BAŠTINE 20. STOLJEĆA SA AKCENTOM NA MODERNU ARHITEKTURU ZENICE
CULTURAL TOURISM AND PROTECTION OF ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE OF THE 20TH CENTURY WITH AN EMPHASIS ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE OF ZENICA

Summary/Abstract: Tourism is one of the fastest growing branches of the economy both globally and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite the fact that the relevant institutions have not fully recognized its importance and potential. Architectural heritage is an important segment of cultural heritage, and European architectural heritage is recognized as the most representative segment of the heritage of the entire continent. That is why, back in 1985, the European Convention for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of Europe was adopted, the aim of which is to promote and protect the architectural heritage in the territory of the then European Community. A few years later, in 1991, a Recommendation on the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of the 20th century was adopted, recognizing for the first time the value of contemporary construction. In the new millennium, the architectural heritage of the 20th century is becoming extremely popular, especially representative examples of socialist architecture, and the heritage of some countries, such as the Yugoslavian school of architecture, is gaining international professional recognition, especially through exhibition at the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in New York. Such a level of interest of the world public enables many cities with significant examples of socialist architecture such as Zenica to find their interest in the protection, interpretation and presentation of architectural heritage through tourism that can contribute to the overall development of these environments.
