Developing the pattern of ancient city of Tauric Chersonese valorisation: risks, values, identity

A comprehensive approach to valorizing the UNESCO-listed Ancient City of Tauric Chersonese reveals that its authenticity hinges on preserving and developing three interconnected values: archaeological, religious, and touristic. Research demonstrates that isolating any single value risks fragmenting the site's identity, undermining its historical integrity. The study proposes a balanced pattern for valorization, emphasizing concerted preservation efforts to maintain the site's multifaceted significance. This approach not only safeguards its cultural heritage but also maximizes potential benefits through sustainable tourism and religious reverence.
