Law on the Protection of Cultural Heritage.

These various map layers are essential for the effective management of cultural heritage (real estate) in the Brussels-Capital region. They enable authorities and stakeholders to monitor, protect, and promote this valuable cultural legacy. Protected Properties: This map layer displays the locations of cultural properties that are officially protected by the relevant authorities. Protection Zones: This map layer shows the designated protection zones around the protected properties.

GIS spatial data for World Heritage Sites and their Buffer Zones, where existing, as inscribed by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO. World Heritage Sites and their Buffer Zones are defined by a polygon defining the extent of the protected area.

A World Heritage Site is a site on a list of properties maintained by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO and called the World Heritage List "forming part of the cultural heritage and natural heritage...which it considers as having outstanding universal value in terms of such criteria as it shall have established".

Buildings and churches that are protected according to Norwegian law, either automatically, permanently or temporary by individual order, or by regulation. Buildings can be protected through several paragraphs in the Cultural heritage act. Buildings that are protected through individual order (§ 15), and government owned buildings that are protected through regulation (§ 22a). Buildings that are older than 1537 are automatically protected, buildings from between 1537 and 1649 can be declared protected, and Sami buildings older than 100 years are also automatically protected (§ 4).

The Directorate for Cultural Heritage offers APIs against datasets in the public service Cultural Heritage Search, which is based on open data from Forvaltningsdatabasen Askeladden. The data sets contain data on cultural monuments divided into localities and individual memories, with factual information, descriptions and map fixing and associated protection zones. The data is published on an ArcGIS server. ArcGIS server is often used in connection with map applications, but the server also has a REST interface that, for example, web applications can do the extraction of the data through. The interface returns objects in HTML or JSON format. Attached is also a link to the Directorate of Cultural Heritage’s datasets at GeoNorge, where some of the data sets from Cultural Heritage Search can also be found in other formats/distributions (Localities, Single memorials, cultural environments, security zones and Freda buildings)

This dataset is about book subjects. It has 2 rows and is filtered where the books is The protection of cultural heritage during armed conflict : the changing paradigms. It features 10 columns including number of authors, number of books, earliest publication date, and latest publication date.

World Heritage Sites are described by UNESCO as exceptional places of ‘outstanding universal value’ and ‘belonging to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located’.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to protect and preserve such sites through an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, drawn up in 1972

Scottish Ministers identify and put forward sites to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport for nomination.

This dataset includes both the legal designation and buffer zone boundaries of the World Heritage Sites in Scotland enscribed by UNESCO as well as non-statutory sensitive areas for planning advice. Once a World Heritage Site is inscribed, under the Convention, member states have a duty to protect, conserve and present such sites for future generations.

The Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018 (the Act) commenced on 1 July 2019 replacing the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018 automatically protects all shipwrecks and associated artefacts that have been in Australian waters for 75 years or more, regardless of whether their physical location is known. The Act also automatically protects all submerged aircraft and associated artefacts that have been in Commonwealth waters for 75 years or more. In addition, the Act provides that the Minister for the Environment may declare an underwater cultural heritage (UCH) site to be protected. For example, more recent shipwrecks or submerged aircraft remains and other UCH sites, including Indigenous UCH sites, can be declared to be protected for the purposes of the Act.The General protection for underwater cultural heritage that is provided under the Act prohibits conduct that:(a) directly or indirectly physically disturbs or otherwise damages the protected underwater cultural heritage, including its surrounding natural environment; or(b) causes the removal of the protected underwater cultural heritage from waters or from its archaeological context i.e., moving artefacts from their original locations or positions on a site.In addition to the general protection provided to underwater heritage sites, the Actalso provides that an area containing protected underwater heritage may be declared to be a protected zone. These zones may be established for a number of reasons including conservation, management or public safety considerations. For example, sites may contain unexploded military ordnance or unstable structures; or require active management because the underwater heritage and its environment are particularly fragile or sensitive.The size of protected zones vary and are tailored to suit individual site requirements. Most protected zones cover an area of around 200 hectares, but there is flexibility to declare a larger area around sites that are widely spread, for example, shipwrecks in deep water that have extensive debris fields on the sea floor.The conduct that is prohibited in each zone is also tailored to suit individual protective or environmental conditions. Entry to some protected zones requires a permit to be obtained, which will specify the conditions of entry. Some protected zones allow vessels to transit through a protected zone without needing to obtain an access permit, while still prohibiting certain underwater activities, such as anchoring, mooring or diving in the area that does require a permit. A guide to the individual protected zones and their permitting requirements is available on the department’s website.It is an offence under the Act to undertake any prohibited conduct unless that conduct is authorised by a permit issued under the Act.Further information can be found at the website below.https://www.dcceew.gov.au/heritage/underwater-heritage/protected-zones

The Intangible Cultural Heritage Register is the central database of intangible heritage. Intangible heritage is intangible goods such as practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills, and associated movable and cultural spaces (where this heritage is represented or expressed) that are passed down from generation to generation by communities, groups and sometimes individuals and are constantly recreated in response to their environment, nature and history. The Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage is managed by the Ministry of Culture and is part of the Register of Cultural Heritage (in addition to the Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage, it consists of the Register of immovable cultural heritage and the Register of movable cultural heritage, which has not yet been established in practice).

The purpose of keeping the register is to provide information support for the implementation of heritage protection. The register is also intended for presenting, researching, educating and developing public awareness of heritage.

The set contains a list of financial reports of the Department for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of the Dnipro City Council. Data from the Unified Web portal for the use of public finances (spending.gov.ua) are published through the API. Information on the use of API spending.gov.ua is available at the link-https://confluence.spending.gov.ua/.

This data set contains geographic and descriptive information on buildings and sites subject to the Cultural Heritage Act and located on the territory of the City of Montreal. The proposed polygonal boundaries complement the specific information already provided by the Ministry of Culture and Communications: - Heritage buildings cited by municipalities - Heritage buildings classified by the Minister of Culture and Communications - Sites heritage sites cited by municipalities - National heritage site declared by the Cultural Heritage Act by the Government of Quebec - Heritage sites classified by the Minister of Culture and Communications WARNING: Approximate demarcations were made from property lines or building footprints. The data is provided for information purposes only and, therefore, has no legal effect. Refer to the Cultural Heritage Register, maintained at the Ministry of Culture and Communications by the Registrar of Cultural Heritage, for legal information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The data set Cultural Heritage — Localities, Single memorials and security zones contain all cultural monuments in mainland Norway and Svalbard (except cultural heritage sites that have limited publicity) that are registered in the official database of cultural monuments and cultural environments, Askeladden, regardless of their status. In this context, a cultural monument is a whole consisting of a locality with one or more individual monuments, as well as security zones (if protected status so warrants). Overall, one can say that a single memory represents a physical cultural monument, with its geographical extent and information specific to it. A locality represents a geographical area that contains one or more individual memories that belong together in one way or another. The site contains general information about this area, as well as information on the highest protection (“highest protection”) among the individual memories within. For example, a burial ground will constitute a locality, while the burial mound(s)/gravery(s) in the burial field constitute individual memories. For recent cultural monuments, the site may be one facility represented by a single building, a farmyard consisting of several buildings, or one or more buildings with a protected area around (park, garden, etc.). A security zone is a geographical area around automatically protected cultural monuments. The area is intended to provide additional protection against measures and is therefore particularly important to take into account.

The protected areas represent the world heritage sites of Berlin and are described by attributes of the INSPIRE data model "protected areas".
