The article considers key issues of the underwater cultural heritage and the ways to reveal investigate and preserve it. Due to the lack of knowledge of the problem, the authors have developed a method that allows detecting the potential of the object in order to obtain the status of underwater cultural heritage in the future. These eventual objects are based on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Baltic Drainage Sea is on the top of this List by the total number of these sites. The authors paid great attention to mark the wreck influence on ecological condition of the sea and they noticed the need of environmental monitoring. As a solution of some issues of preserving underwater cultural heritage. The term “ecology of underwater heritage” was proposed, as well as examples of international cooperation on the integration of environmental and archaeological underwater research.

In today's competitive global environment, cities are striving to stand out and be attractive to investors, visitors, and residents. City branding is an important tool to differentiate the city from its competitors and to be preferred by visitors. Every city has its own characteristics resulting from its historical development, the influence of its geography, and its social, cultural, and economic past. Therefore, the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of cities is vital for their promotion and branding. This study aims to show the importance of their cultural heritage, which is the most fundamental feature to differentiate themselves from their competitors in city branding. It is emphasized that the cultural events organized in cities or the assets specific to cities, most of which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List, have a significant impact on city branding. In addition, the chapter explains the impact of digitalization, which is one of the most important developments of our time, on city branding and cultural heritage.

Management And Development

The Curonian Spit (Lithuania) and Vega Archipelago (Norway) are objects on the UNESCO World Heritage List because of their special kind of landscapes that have been formed not without human intervention. Landscapes created by nature itself or with human help are exceptional works which, as determined by the legal acts in regulation of these processes, have to be referred to as objects of cultural heritage. The cultural heritage must be protected, exhibited and viewed as objects of science and cognition. Lithuania and Norway have different conditions formed for identification, conservation and protection of these works, but both countries have recognized that protection of cultural heritage, passing it on for future generations is the duty of the state. Prospects of heritage management and development, and exchange of experience should be the top priorities for action in Lithuania. Kuršių nerija (Lietuva) ir Vega salynas (Norvegija) į Pasaulio paveldo vietovių sąrašą įrašytos dėl savo išskirtinių kraštovaizdžių, kurie suformuoti ne be žmogaus įsikišimo. Tai, ką sukūrė gamta, žmogus ar gamta kartu su žmogumi, yra išskirtiniai kūriniai, kuriuos, kaip nustato šiuos procesus reglamentuojantys teisės aktai, nurodoma vadinti kultūros paveldo objektais. Kultūros paveldą būtina saugoti, eksponuoti, vertinti kaip mokslo ir pažinimo objektus. Lietuvoje ir Norvegijoje susiklosčiusios skirtingos sąlygos šių kūrinių identifikavimo, išsaugojimo ar globos srityse, tačiau abiejose šalyse pripažįstama, kad kultūros paveldo apsauga, perdavimas ateinančioms kartoms yra tos valstybės pareiga. Paveldo tvarkybos ir vystymo perspektyvos, keičiantis patirtimi, turi būti Lietuvos prioritetinė veiklos sritis.

Abstract Despite growing recognition of the global value of underwater cultural heritage (uch), along with intensified international efforts to ensure its protection, the possibility of its inscription on the World Heritage List has never been comprehensively examined. Arguing that the unesco 2001 Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage (uch Convention) is insufficient alone to protect globally outstanding wrecks, such as the Titanic and the Lusitania, this article examines in detail the many legal and practical challenges involved with listing such sites under the World Heritage Convention. By reviewing key international agreements such as the uch Convention, World Heritage Convention, Law of the Sea Convention and the International Titanic Agreement, it draws the conclusion that it is the improved offshore management of uch—through ‘cultural’ marine protected areas operating under the framework of the uch Convention—which would open the possibility of nomination to the World Heritage List.

Within the framework of BALTEX regular measurements made at about 4,200 rain gauge sites have been collected by the BALTEX Meteorological Data Centre. This network of rain gauges is about 10 times denser than the synoptic network; here it is used for the objective analysis of daily precipitation fields on the grids of the mesoscale models developed in the research project NEWBALTIC during the pilot period PIDCAP (August to October 1995). The observations were corrected for systematic measuring errors with the Dynamic Correction Model. Its main purpose is to correct for the wind-induced losses which is the largest error. The correction formulae use the synoptic observations of wind speed, temperature and rain intensity at the rain gauge station considered. For non-synoptic stations the values of the closest synoptic station are used as estimates; the mean distance of the synoptic stations within the drainage basin is 30 km. For evaporation and wetting losses, which represent the second largest error of the precipitation measurements, climatological corrections are applied. The formulae in the Dynamic Correction Model take instrument-specific properties into account; these comprise HELLMANN UNSHIELDED, SMHI SHIELDED, H&H-90 SHIELDED and TRETJAKOV SHIELDED. The spatial distribution of corrected precipitation values were objectively analysed according to Rubel (1998). They yield daily gridded precipitation fields over the drainage basin which are systematically higher than the uncorrected fields. The corresponding increase of the freshwater input into the Baltic Sea drainage basin is 4.7% in August, 5.8% in September and 9.1% in October 1995. Finally, the perspective for further developments and the generation of a ten-year data base of the BALTEX main intensive observational and modelling period BRIDGE is introduced.
