| Title | Preserving a Multi-Cultural Past in a Post-Soviet City: L'viv as a World Heritage Site |
| Summary | This thesis project is taking a closer look into the relationship between UNESCO and the State Party Ukraine, but more specifically L’viv. The thesis approaches the nomination process experience by L’viv as well as the subsequent visits and documents that have continued since being nominated. Approaching the differences between ‘East’ and ‘West’ and the unique situation that Ukraine is being a borderland. The main problem is the constant demands from UNESCO of Ukraine that compared to other locations seem to be extreme. The methods used for this thesis, were oral interviews to counter balance the UNESCO documents. The city either did not or would not allow public access to any minutes or notes during their meetings. From the interviews I found that criticism I thought would be directed at UNESCO was actually directed at the state capital, Kiev. The two big problems with the site that the City wishes UNESCO would help more with are legislation and education. Assistance in creating legislation and repercussions to help guarantee the safety and future of the site and to help educate the public about their responsibility in preserving and restoring the city. |
