The term ’’participation” used in the title of the conference specifies its main task, i.e. to draw attention to the need for an active participation of the whole society in the protection of Polish cultural heritage. The emphasis has been put on the initiation and improvement of a mechanism necessary to evoke and employ all social initiatives in the field of the revival of the existing historic resources. The main cause of their poor or even critical condition is an unsatisfactory on the whole and often depreciating attitude to all e le ments of the real estate including the existing historic monuments. These trends can be noticed both in the land planning that paid attention mainly to new projects and in the housing economy that neglected old resources. The fact that all resources have been covered by the municipal economy with a practically merely nominal maintenance of the title deed and a very low rent has resulted in that that owners are neither directly interested in keeping their buildings in good order nor they have adequate means to cover the cost of even minor repairs. On the other hand, the tenants do not prevent a gradual degradation in order to have a priority right in acquiring a new flat. The negligence flows, i.a., from a very poor development of repair and construction companies and unsatisfactory material management which has brought about an almost complete disappearance of traditional building materials. The need for an economic management has resulted in a signicantly increased activity in the old-town centres. They have become a subject of full modernisation and restoration. Numerous examples have shown that restoration costs are lower than those required for new housing together with outlays on the extension of technical infrastructure. Tasks in the field of restoration have became an im portant element of land development in town housing economy and social policy. A campaign was undertaken with the aim to ’’revive the town” in its traditional structure. A particularly critical assessment of large housing estates deprived of individual features and leading to social alienation has become a conducive factor. The slogan of ”a zero increase” which occasionally appears in the Polish land planning was first put forward m Bologna. This found its expression in the formulation of the programme for a maximum use of an extremely extensive historic centre through the adaptation of historic structures and their complexes. In order to prevent the displacing of former inhabitants from the complexes under reconstruction it has been decided that the entire local community should be included into the process. One could observe the endeavour to preserve a traditional use of the buildings; this was manifested by a tendency to avoid a transformation of the usage forms from housing into other kinds (e.g. offices, enterprises), which had been often the case in the past. Conservation and participation: those two elementary principles which have become main elements of today’s town-planning worfcsshops should be conceived in a broad sense. Conservation ought to be comprehended as an endeavour to keep all ex isting values, not only cultural and ecological but, generally speaking, all material values. Participation — as an indispensable element of the planning adequate both for a development of urban bodies and their reconstruction and for manifestations of social life. In v iew of a particular threat that inhibitants of old houses are facing, their active participation in the course of reconstructional processes is universally recognized a s a problem of primary significance. The above tendencies were first outlined during a campaign of the International Year of Monuments Protection in 1975. The Polish Committee of ICOMOS undertook then a number of measures aimed at their popularization in Poland. This found its factual e x pression i.a. in cooperation of the Ministry of Culture and Art and the Central Union of Housing Cooperatives. Attempts were made (Przemyśl, Włocławek, Radom, Słupsk, Płock) to cover historie complexes with a cooperative system. The rendering of a town monument, treated inseparably with the local community and pointing out its role in the protection and reconstruction, has become one of the most important e le ments of the Warsaw Recommendation of UNESCO on the protection of historic complexes (1976). A high rank of the problems was acknowledged at a conference of ICOMOS-UNESCO-AIU (Cracow, 1980) devoted to the analysis of the execution of the assumptions of this fundamental, on a word-wide scale, document. A high percentage of old buildings has cultural values and their reconstruction, considered as a first priority, should represent a particularly important part of major repair and modernisation works. The revival and modernisation of the existing resources should be regarded as an integral part of an investment process in settling units, and so, to have at its disposal financial, performance and organisational possibilities adequate to the requirements. The implementation of the system of social participation calls for a complete change in the mode of granting credits, subventions and subsidies. The adoption of the principle of an active participation of the population in the revival process w ill be of great im portance for the maintenance of a traditional appropriation of buildings, protecting them against too radical functional transformations. This w ill allow to preserve a former character and social profile of old-town districts and at the same time to prevent social conflicts. The social movement in Poland on behalf of the protection of monuments boasts rich traditions and specific legal and organisational foundations. However, it is a particularly im,portant to give it a more dynamic character. An active work on behalf of the protection of cultural heritage has in this country a high social impact, a fine illustration of which is the Royal Castle in Warsaw.
