Mining Area of the Great Copper Mountain in Falun - UNESCO ...

j. Property management plan and statement of objectives.
The general protection extended to the environment and buildings in the area can be
seen from the description in point 4 f.
The preservation plan for Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB’s industrial monuments
(see appendix 4) and the heritage site designation of the Falun Mine (see appendix 1)
show which buildings are protected and how this protection is supervised. The
national physical plan from 1987 and the priority plan for Kopparberget -
ecomuseum for Falun Mine, town and Bergslag (see appendix 2) indicates which
areas and objects within the property are of great historic value. The Stora
Kopparbergs Bergslags visions (see appendix 3) shows how and in what way the
company wishes to protect and preserve its heritage.
All cultural remains and derelict structures from past ages are protected under the
National Heritage Act (SFS 1988:950, Chap. 2). The supervisory authority is the
Dalarna County Administrative Board.
All buildings of historic interest at the Falun Mine are protected under the Historic
Buildings Act (SFS 1988:950, Chap. 3). The supervisory authority is the Dalarna
County Administrative Board.
The whole of the core area and all buffer zones are areas of national interest. The
duty of securing heritage sites and cultural landscapes within the area of natural
interest devolves on the Municipality and has been manifested in area regulations,
comprehensive plans and detailed development plans. The County Administrative
Board and the National Heritage Board are the supervisory authorities responsible for
verifying this protection.
