Zagrożenia wybranych obiektów przestrzeni historycznej a stan wiedzy o regionie na przykładzie powiatów wodzisławskiego i lublinieckiego

Abstract

In the face of progressing actions toward conservation of material culture, including historical monuments, we should pay attention to possible threats to their good condition and maintenance. The paper presents various approaches to maintenance and protection of historic buildings based on national and international legal regulations. The aim of this paper is to identify the threats to historic sites, which result from lack of comprehensive approach to reconstruction and conservation of monuments. Knowledge of history among secondary school students has been tested using questionnaire research. The anonymous questionnaire concerned historic events and historic characters related to the place of testing. On the basis of the results, unsatisfactory knowledge of the region can be identified, which causes threats: perdition of cultural distinctiveness and vanishing of local patriotism.
