Abstract

Cultural Heritage Control in 1990 – 2006 An object of the scientific study "Cultural Heritage Control 1990 – 2006" lies in a control of cultural heritage which is an essential of three functions for the preservation of the cultural heritage. The point of the work is to examine and analyze the development of control function of the cultural heritage from 1990 focusing on the main problems and particularities of each period. This study reviews the control function of the cultural heritage orienting towards the central ruling institutions of the cultural heritage. Worth to mention that an Inspection of cultural heritage has originated from the cultural movement and supervised the main process of heritage of that time. It was legislated a preservation act of real cultural values, and the Department of Preservation of Cultural Values (DPCV) took over a control function of the cultural heritage. Yet in 1997, to improve negative state of control there was founded a Department of cultural townscape, however it influenced the administration of analyzing function negatively. Whereas in 2005 a new control department of Cultural heritage has been established. Presently it coordinates a work with territorial subdivisions of the Department. In 2003 a subdivision for researching stolen cultural and art values near the Police department has been established. It was responsible for the prevention of crimes of cultural and art values. Thus a conclusion should be drawn that an efficiency of control in cultural heritage has been expanded. One of the key problems in the control is an illegal archeology. Fixing harm for this sphere of heritage it caused abundance of problems. Meanwhile a society tries to raise problems that there is no effective control in "illegal constructions". The analyzed sources inform that the main breaches have not changed radically from the period of Inspection as well at present time. Therefore different sizes and kind of the work demand for special consolidations of control's quality in the territorial subdivisions of the Department.
