Summary
Zamość's historical center, renowned for its Italian-style fortifications and architectural homogeneity dating back to the late 16th century, faces challenges in preserving its unique urban layout and greenery. The study highlights that establishing a cultural park—distinct from Zamość Park—can serve as an effective tool for preservation and management of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. This approach, outlined in the Act on the Protection and Care of Monuments, ensures clear rules for safeguarding the site's architectural splendor while addressing the transformations of its fortifications over centuries. The research emphasizes the need to differentiate between a cultural park, which focuses on urban and architectural protection, and a traditional park, which centers on greenery composition.
