Sledi ruralne dediščine v urbani pokrajini: obzidani vrtovi na primeru Bovškega // Traces of rural heritage in urban landscapes: walled yards in the Bovec area

Abstract

Članek obravnava s kamnitimi zidovi obdane vrtove na Bovškem. Vrtovi so nastali na robu naselja, kjer urbana struktura prehaja v podeželsko. Zanje so posebej značilni visoki kamniti zidovi, ki so značilnost sredozemskih kulturnih območij. Nastanek zidov okrog vrtov je povezan s čiščenjem kmetijskih zemljišč zaradi lažje obdelave, trajnejšo razmejitvijo parcel ter preprečevanjem prehoda živini in divjadi. To je pogosto spregledana kulturna dediščina, saj sedanja raba prostora in prostorski načrti občine Bovec kažeta majhno zavedanje o pomenu zidov kot kakovostnih elementov prostora. Namen članka je predstaviti tipe, stanje in namen vrtnih zidov ter opozoriti na dejstvo, da takšni prostorski elementi dvigajo kakovost bivalnega okolja in predstavljajo razvojni, zlasti turistični potencial.

This article explores the walled yards in the Bovec area. These yards were created on the edges of the town, where the urban structure transitions into a rural one. They are characterized by high stone walls typical of the Mediterranean cultural environments. Their origins are connected with clearing agricultural land, to semi-permanently delimit parcels, and to keep livestock and wildlife out. This is a frequently overlooked element of cultural heritage because the current spatial use and the spatial plans of the Municipality of Bovec show little consideration for the importance of walls as high-quality spatial elements. The article presents the types, current state, and purpose of walled yards, and draws attention to the fact that such spatial elements increase the quality of the living environment and provide development potential, especially in tourism.
