Towards the SoPHIA model: results from the case studies’ analysis: Buzet – Integrated Built Heritage Revitalization Plan of the Historic Town Centre and Ivana’s House of Fairy Tales (Croatia)

The article assesses the usefulness of the draft SoPHIA model for holistic heritage impact assessment based on the evaluation of the two Croatian case studies: The Integrated Built Heritage Revitalization Plan of the Buzet Historic Town Centre (IBHRP) in Istria County and Ivana’s House of Fairy Tales Visitor Centre (IKB/IHF) in the city of Ogulin. The analysed cases differ by their type and nature. The IBHRP case relates to the assessment of the strategic intervention implemented by the local government in the urban complex of Buzet’s old town core, a place where people live and work. The IHF case is a newly set up cultural institution. Both analysed case studies are of local as well as regional importance and represent important resources for boosting local development. The projects were analysed by applying the draft SoPHIA model – the IBHRP as an example of a mid-term evaluation of the integrated development plan of the old town of Buzet ; and IHF as an example of a project and strategy for the development of a visitor centre, which was an ex-post evaluation. The principal differences in the usability of the draft SoPHIA model depend on the very nature, content and cost- effectiveness of the particular case study. This is especially visible through the multi-criteria axis when analysing the applicability of all themes and subthemes of the model in both of the examined cases. Nonetheless, it is apparent that their relevance and importance apply equally to both cases.
