Abstract

The publication considers topical issues of classification of historical and cultural reserves. The study of species diversity and the specification of historical reserves remains one of the most complex and understudied topics. The delimitation of reserves in accordance with the peculiarities of the organization of work to ensure the proper state of preservation and promotion of certain types of monuments is an important aspect in the study of historical and cultural reserves. The study provides a description of the state (hierarchical) classification of historical and cultural reserves. It was found that this classification is based on the principle of significance for the state of cultural heritage sites that form the basis of individual reserves. Legislative acts are analyzed and the shortcomings admitted in the theory of classification and their consequences in practical implementation are established, on the example of historical and cultural reserves in the western regions of Ukraine. Based on the ratio of theoretical approaches and their practical expression, the inconsistency of the classification with reality was established. Recommendations necessary to ensure the practical expression of this classification in the work of state bodies and historical and cultural reserves were offered. The study considers the classification of historical and cultural reserves formed by the typological affiliation of monuments. It was found that the above classification is based on the species diversity of cultural heritage sites. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the classification of types of reserves and cultural heritage sites, discrepancies in the classification systems were identified. In particular, discrepancies between species classifications of monuments and reserves in the norms of the Law of Ukraine «On Protection of Cultural Heritage» were established. Recommendations for systematization of nature reserves by types of monuments are given. A mechanism for determining the species of historical and cultural reserves was also developed. The article proposes a new approach to determining the type of reserves based on the percentage of ensembles of cultural and historical heritage, which form the basis of historical and cultural reserves.
