This thesis explores various frameworks and perspectives that contribute
to understanding cultural heritage assets, encompassing both tangible and intangible
dimensions. Drawing upon international conventions such as the UNESCO World
Heritage Convention and the Council of Europe's Faro Convention, as well as seminal
works by scholars like David Lowenthal and Laurajane Smith, the study critically
examines the evolving definitions and conceptualizations of cultural heritage.
