The introduction of the notion cultural heritage and heritagization in Hungary (1957-2015): Critical analysis of Hollókő and Fertő/Neusiedlersee through the lens of heritagization

A critical analysis reveals how the concepts of cultural heritage and heritagization have evolved in Hungary between 1957 and 2015, with a focus on two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Hollókő and Fertő/Neusiedlersee. The study highlights shifts in preservation practices, policy frameworks, and public perception, demonstrating how these sites transitioned from local significance to international recognition. By employing qualitative research methods, including historical analysis and discourse studies, the research examines the social, political, and economic factors influencing heritagization processes. This work contributes to understanding the broader implications of heritage designation on cultural landscapes and communities.
