Landscape plan as an instrument for revitalization of the cultural landscape – case of the UNESCO’s Stari Grad Plain landscape plan

This paper will present the plan for revitalisation of UNESCO’s cultural landscape Stari Grad Plain on the island of Hvar which is known as being specifically problematic area where inconsistency of protection and development interests additionally affects the agricultural abandonment. Methodology encompasses: collecting the data through field observation and discussion with stakeholders and experts, database digitalisation (pedology, relief, land use, hydrology, natural and cultural heritage, etc.), landscape typology, assessment of cultural, ecological and visual qualities, and assessment of attractiveness for new/old activities. Synthesis of the above steps resulted in creating several scenarios of revitalization plans substantiated with simulations of new land use principles. The contribution of this work is in innovative methodological framework for the revitalization of rural landscapes applicable within the protected and other rural areas. Also, the large GIS database is established which allows subsequent adding and modification of data as well as the modelling and harmonizing the final proposals.
