Ameeting of experts dealing with the UNESCO World Heritage, attended by 37 participants from 13 countries, was held in Wroclaw on 14-15 September 2007. The session was organised by the National Heritage Board of Poland in the name of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. The states-signatories of the UNESCO convention on the protection of the world cultural and natural heritage are obligated to present reports on the realisation of the convention’s resolutions. The first series of the European Regular Report was conducted in 2003-2006. The Wroclaw conference was the first meeting of the representatives of Central and East European countries, dedicated to continuing undertakings stemming from the Regular Report. Subsequently, it became a forum for an exchange of experiences and joint conclusions. In view of the fact that the Report encompasses the earliest entries on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the participants of the meeting asserted the necessity of supplements which, in the first stage, are to explain the limits of the included site and its protective sphere and then discuss the criteria according to which it had been originally placed on the List. Subsequent tasks entail defining the exceptional merits of a given site. The meeting also considered plans for a system of administering the world heritage sites. The participants stressed unanimously that a suitable pronouncement of the significance of a site and its exceptional value forms a basis for effective administration. The conference included a tour of the Centennial Hall in Wrocław, together with the adjoining exposition area – the most recent Polsh site to be included onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Fringe belt, czyli rozlegle obszary o małej gęstości zabudowy i znacznej ilości przestrzeni otwartych przeznaczonych pod zagospodarowanie instytucjonalne, stanowią ważny morfologiczny element krajobrazu miast. Rabat, stolica Maroka, w 2012 roku został wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO pod nazwą „Rabat – nowoczesna stolica i historyczne miasto”, jako że reprezentuje model planowania nowoczesnego zintegrowany z historycznym jądrem osadniczym. Niemniej kryterium (v) – przyznawane wybitnym przykładom tradycyjnego osadnictwa, reprezentującego kulturę (lub kultury) lub interakcję człowieka z otoczeniem – zostało uznane za podstawę odrzucenia nominacji Rabatu, który według raportu ICOMOS jest zdefragmentowany przestrzennie i wykazuje brak związku między zabudową a środowiskiem. Mając na uwadze powyższe, artykuł prezentuje Kasbah of Oudayas, unikalną i wyróżniającą się historyczną jednostkę osadniczą, będącą zaprzeczeniem przykładów zaprezentowanych w 2012 roku.Celem opracowania jest zbadanie rozwoju przestrzennego Rabatu w różnych okresach morfologicznych w celu ustalenia, czy fringe belts mogą ujawnić historyczne obszary, w obrębie których miasto ewoluowało w czasie. Artykuł jest także próbą zrozumienia, w jaki sposób fringe belts mogą przyczynić się do uznania Kasbah of Oudayas za pierwsze islamskie jądro osadnicze stolicy. Autorzy wyrażają nadzieję, że niniejsze opracowanie może okazać się pomocne tak dla naukowców, jak i praktyków w dziedzinie morfologii miast i dziedzictwa kulturowego; dostarczyć wskazówki, w jaki sposób badać wyjątkowe historyczne jednostki osadnicze oraz uwyraźnić ich architektoniczne, historyczne i kulturowe wartości; wykazać, w jaki sposób zastosowanie i upowszechnianie wskazanej metodologii może otworzyć nowe perspektywy dla badań z zakresu morfologii miast.

Fringe belts, extensive areas of low density and wide open spaces designated for institutional use, are a morphological element in the urban landscape. Rabat, capital of Morocco, conceived during the French protectorate, received in 2012, a UNESCO World Heritage title for representing a modern urban planning model that integrates an open space system with its historical nucleus. Nonetheless, criterion (v) – to be an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or human interaction with the environment – was deemed grounds for rejecting Rabat’s nomination because the candidate presented seemed to be fragmented and showed a lack of a relationship between property and environment, according to the ICOMOS report. This study considers the Kasbah of Oudayas to be a unique and outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, in contrast to those cases presented in 2012. The aim of this study is to investigate the evolution of urban Rabat according to the morphological periods of development, in order to, ascertain whether or not the fringe belts can reveal the historic areas in which the city has evolved over time. It also seeks to understand how fringe belts may contribute to confirming the Kasbah of Oudayas as the first Islamic urban nucleus in the capital. As such, it is hoped that the paper may: assist practitioners and academics in the fields of urban morphology and heritage; provide initial insights into how to investigate outstanding traditional human settlements; reveal the architectural, historical and cultural value of such sites; demonstrate how the application and dissemination of a methodology may open new perspectives for studies on the subject.

The future of monument protection depends to a greater extent on methods of managing this resource. This is an ever more difficult problem, since complexity of values and functions of monuments is growing as well as, simultaneously, pressure to convert them. Sites entered to the UNESCO World Heritage List represent a certain test site for management problems concerning objects with the highest value. Management plans, the development and implementation of which became an obligation for administrators of UNESCO sites, are supposed to be the main tool in this regard. Operating guidelines specify a number of elements the management plan should contain, however, there is no universal specimen of such document. It is legitimate to create model management plans for groups of sites with similar characteristics. Above all, a model management plan should take account of the protection of values that justified the designation of a given status. This element has a universal character in management plans. This means that one can use best experiences collected on various sites entered to the List. New Lanark residential and industrial complex and Forth Bridge management systems have been selected as a subject of analysis. The New Lanark factory settlement was entered to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2001. The Forth Bridge was entered in 2015. In both cases management plans reflecting the specificity of a site and individual needs of technological monuments were developed. Notwithstanding any systemic differences, the Scottish experiences allow us to draw a number of conclusions we should take into account while preparing management plans for Polish UNESCO sites. The site management should provide for close cooperation between the most important stakeholders who can influence the object’s destiny. Particular partners have different competences, capacities and qualifications. However unexchangeable, they complement one another. Only the management system that includes substantial partners can be efficient – it enables us to maintain and convert the site in an assumed direction. Management of a historical resource (particularly a complex) should be multifunctional. Limiting a site to a museum does not create sufficient economic basis. Combination of numerous functions based on using – and respecting – historical values is possible, if organised (or supervised) by a site manager who has formal and substance-related competences in the scope of managing the site as protected heritage. An industrial monument can be attractive as an example of heritage; it can form a basis for plenty of functional solutions using its historic values; it can also form a basis for a intensive tourism. Multifunctional management of an industrial monument can take place at preserving an acceptable conservation maintenance standard. Management of a complex, multifunctional site is a process that should be executed on the basis of a management plan. Such a document – apart from standard information specified in operating guidelines – should contain a long-term vision, a strategy for a couple of years and short (one-year) action plans. A management plan should also take account of risks and possibilities generated by protection to local communities, particularly if it is linked with such status as the entry to the UNESCO List.
