Frontiers of the Roman Empire – Ripa Pannonica in Hungary (RPH) Nomination statement
Law LXXVIII of 1997 on the protection and shaping of the built environment contains provisions for the
periodical review and adjustment of the town plans:
Chapter II (2) The town governments must review the town structural plans every 10 years, and when
necessary they must see to its amendment or the preparation of a new plan. During the course of the
necessary 10 year review they must see that the revisions that have occurred in the meantime are framed
within a uniform plan.
5.e Property Management Plan or Other Management System
The Law LXIV of 2001 on the preservation of cultural heritage “Section 5/A (3) For the preservation,
sustainable utilization and recording of changes of World Heritage sites a management organization must
be established that performs its activities on the basis of the Management Plan.”
The management activities demand a unified conception, clear and explicit objectives and professional
direction and coordination, although the role of volunteers should not be disregarded. Therefore an
organization must be established where the formulation of objectives is founded upon scholarly research
and the basis for conservation is the general public interest, but that ensures a framework for voluntary
support and participation. The management organization must, among other things, rely upon the tools
of regional and urban planning, state and local governmental administration, the system of institutes for
science and higher learning and the similar systems of preservation/conservation (e.g. nature conservation),
while winning the support of the leading players in industry, agriculture and tourism and developing
good relationships with the community and the media.
Taking into account that the site to be managed stretches along an area that is 417 km long and the 121
individual sites affect seven counties and the capital city, more than sixty local governments and a large
number of state and private lots as well as numerous managers, a functioning and effective organization
can only be envisaged that has a structure containing multiple levels:
5.e.1 The Management Organization

• Ripa Pannonica in Hungary (RPH) Management and Development Trust
