Abstract

La cuestión de salvaguardar los centros históricos incluidos en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO y sus alrededores de los impactos negativos causados ​​por la presión de la dinámica urbana es importante, así como de actualidad. Este artículo aborda este problema a través de una evaluación de una zona de amortiguamiento como un medio para fortalecer la protección en torno a un sitio histórico y su contexto, mientras mantiene su integridad. A través de un estudio del sitio de la UNESCO de la Casbah en Argel, hemos tratado de probar nuestra hipótesis de que, en el caso de un sitio histórico urbano, los criterios de delimitación para la zona de amortiguamiento, que generalmente se basan en el aislamiento y la protección de la propiedad. Las condiciones deben establecerse en relación con, y en favor de, la articulación de lo antiguo con lo nuevo, permitiendo la integración e inserción de la propiedad cultural urbana en la dinámica urbana del pueblo.
Nuestra evaluación de la zona de protección real alrededor de la Casbah ha revelado varias deficiencias en relación con el establecimiento de sus perímetros, lo que socava el objetivo principal de reforzar el valor cultural del sitio, su integridad estructural y visual, así como la de su entorno. Debido a esto, se recomienda encarecidamente una revisión del perímetro de la zona de protección para fortalecer la protección alrededor del sitio de la UNESCO de la Casbah en Argel y mantener su valor excepcional.
