Decrees on local materials use in cultural landscapes and institutional provisions for preserving the craft of dry stone walling
The following decrees were issued as a result of open dialogue, scientific exchange, and collective processing, as part of actions carried out by the Itinerant Workshop on Traditional Building Techniques “Boulouki” in collaboration with local authorities, scientific organizations, and collectives in the context of the Reappearances Project.
They address the protection, conservation, and sustainable management of cultural landscapes, with an emphasis on the use of local materials, dry stone construction, and the connection of material heritage with the contemporary needs of local communities. The texts reflect commonly accepted positions, proposals, and policy guidelines, highlighting the importance of traditional knowledge, participatory restoration, and the judicious use of natural resources.
