Résumé en anglais
Several international conventions pay greatattention to the safeguarding of the surroundings of protected
monuments, landscapes and archaeological goods. In manynational legislations, mechanisms aiming at a similar kind of
protection were developed.The purpose of this contribution is to examine the protection of
“buffer zones” in the international legal context and in thelegislation into force in Belgium, more specifically in the
Flemish Region. From a legal point of view, severalpossibilities do exist: specific rules can be developed within
the framework of heritage legislation, but the surroundings ofprotected goods can also be protected by means of legislation
on urban development.Protecting and maintaining a valuable monument or
archaeological site in their historic environment, a landscapein its beautiful natural setting, can contribute in a considerable
way to the safeguarding of the spirit of a place. Even if thecommented legal rules consider in the first place the more
tangible heritage, the awareness of the existence of a profoundrelationship between tangible and intangible heritage and the
need for integrated conservation are the starting points for thecontribution.
