4. Discussion
The local population’s active involvement in the organised workshops has shown that the list of officially
registered heritage strongly differs from the values, stressed by the residents. This is partially due to the fact that the
experts didn’t choose the official heritage from the perspective of developmental potentials, but have done so
according to preservation criteria of heritage recognition. On the other hand, the discrepancy between both lists
points to two facts, namely the obsolescence of official lists (the registry of the immovable cultural heritage is not
updated; the units have mainly been chosen several decades ago) and the gap between the expert and popular
recognition of heritage/values. The views of the locals regarding which parts of their local environment deserve
special focus often differ from the expert opinion.
