Evaluation of the Rules Related to Monuments' Frontage and its Role in Protecting Cultural Monuments

Abstract

Privacy is one of the fundamental issues introduced in Iranian Civil Laws which has been formally codified since 1928. In 1930, the issue of cultural and historical monuments was specifically addressed in the law relating to preserving national monuments and the first sparks for the protection of cultural heritage were ignited. The question raised in this study was: “what factors are important in determining and preserving the frontage of valuable cultural spaces?” The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate rules and how to develop frontage rules for national monuments. The results showed that some issues should be considered in the field of rules. It is better to consider this issue in the constitution like some countries and in the programs of long-term perspective, the cultural heritage organization change to the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism to handle the Cultural Affairs better. However, the administrative and subjective aspects and effective forces have an important role in enforcing the rules in this regard.
