The Implementation of Sustainable Development and Protection of Cultural Heritage at Different Levels of Spatial and Urban Planning: A Case Study of the Republic of Serbia

A comprehensive analysis of spatial planning for UNESCO World Heritage Sites Stari Ras and Sopoćani reveals that while protection measures dominate, they fall short in integrating sustainable development or landscape conservation. The study compared three spatial plans at different levels, identifying gaps where cultural heritage protection lacks a holistic approach to sustainable management. It highlights the need for improved methodologies that balance heritage preservation with broader environmental and developmental goals, offering actionable guidelines for policy and planning improvements.
