Proposing a New Methodology for Monument Conservation “SCOPE MANAGEMENT” by the Use of an Analytic Hierarchy Process Project Management Institute System and the ICOMOS Burra Charter

A novel methodology, 'SCOPE MANAGEMENT,' is proposed for monument conservation, integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and ICOMOS Burra Charter to systematically manage project scope and control variables in heritage site preservation. This approach prioritizes maintaining historical integrity while addressing urbanization pressures threatening UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Vlkolínec. By hierarchically structuring management processes—considering tangible, intangible elements, weaknesses, and opportunities—the methodology aims to prevent unnecessary changes and revive cultural landscapes without compromising authenticity. The framework offers a comprehensive, regular schedule for conservation operations, aligning with global heritage charters to ensure sustainable preservation.
