| Title | Protection of Historical Landscape in Serbia. The case of the Roman Trenches |
| Summary | The “Roman trenches” present an integral part of the system of earthworks, located in the vast area of the Pannonian Basin. There is a large and international scholarship dedicated to resolving the issue of the origins, development and purpose of these earthworks, however, there are no studies allocating their legal protection. The deterioration of the earthworks, due to modern threats underlines the necessity for protection in the terms of the law. The applied methodology encompassed landscape archaeology approach and comparison of sources and existing literature on this topic. Additionally, the research included a fieldwork with a purpose of evaluating the current state of the previously selected area of the major Roman trench and the perception of it by the local population. The protection is to be conducted in a way that it comprises the standards of the new conventions and international regulations in the cultural heritage field. For this purpose, the category of the cultural landscape is offered as a solution, covering cultural, natural, social, and economic aspects. By engaging various factors in this process, the all-inclusive protection can be achieved. More importantly, it may be implemented in other places and in a wider region as well. |
