Management of Mixed Cultural and Natural World Heritage Sites in
East-Central Europe: A Case Study of Visegrád
Draft Policy Paper
NB. The policy paper resulting from
my work – as agreed with
my Individual and Group Mentors
– will be a management plan for the Tentative World Heritage listed
site of the Medieval Royal Seat and Parkland in Visegrád,
Hungary. At the moment, it would be pointless to write up lengthy
pieces of this work, which would inevitably change during research. The
structure of the work, however, is already available, and is presented
briefly below.
