1 Scope

1.1 Purpose of the standard – to establish general requirements, principles and approaches to the sustainable development of historic settlements with priority given to the preservation of cultural heritage; to ensure the integration of the value of heritage into social, economic and spatial development; to define uniform terms, the structure of documentation, indicators and the procedure for monitoring, as well as mechanisms for the participation of interested parties.

1.2 Objects of standardization – the sustainable development management system at the level of state authorities and local self-government bodies within the boundaries of historic settlements; the processes of planning, implementation and monitoring of sustainable development measures; strategic planning documents; organizational and communication procedures for interaction with interested parties.

1.3 Field of application – this standard applies when carrying out an analysis of the condition of the territory of historic settlements, of the problems and directions of their sustainable development, and when determining and implementing the list of measures for the sustainable development of the territory of historic settlements, provided for by subclauses 1 and 2 of clause 3 of Article 60 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]. The standard is used in the development, coordination, implementation and monitoring of strategic and territorial planning documents of the municipality within whose boundaries a historic settlement is located, including the master plan — in the part relating to the territory of the historic settlement — and of programs and projects aimed at the sustainable development of territories, the preservation, use and popularization of cultural heritage. The standard is intended for use by authorities, local self-government bodies, developer organizations, owners and users of cultural heritage objects, and other interested parties. The provisions of the standard may be used in relation to other territories that possess valuable historical characteristics, taking their specific features into account.

3 Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms

3.1 Terms for cultural heritage objects

3.1.1 historic settlement: An inhabited locality, or a part of an inhabited locality, included in the list of historic settlements of federal significance or in the list of historic settlements of regional significance, within the boundaries of which are located cultural heritage objects included in the register, identified cultural heritage objects, and objects that constitute the subject of protection of the historic settlement.

[1, Article 59, paragraph 1].

NOTE — The definition is given for the purposes of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1].

3.1.2 cultural heritage object: Immovable property (including archaeological heritage objects) and other objects with territories historically associated with them, works of painting, sculpture, decorative and applied art, objects of science and technology and other items of material culture that have arisen as a result of historical events, that are of value from the point of view of history, archaeology, architecture, urban planning, art, science and technology, aesthetics, ethnology or anthropology, or social culture, and that are evidence of epochs and civilizations and authentic sources of information on the origin and development of culture.

[1, Article 3].

NOTE — The types of cultural heritage object (monuments, ensembles, places of interest) and the archaeological heritage object are applied in the meanings of Article 3 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1].

3.1.3 The subject of protection of a historic settlement includes:

1) historically valuable town-forming objects — buildings and structures that form the historic built fabric and are united, among other things, by scale, volume, structure, style, structural materials, colour scheme and decorative elements;

2) the planning structure, including its elements;

3) the spatial-volumetric structure;

4) the composition and silhouette of the built fabric — the relationship of vertical and horizontal dominants and accents;

5) the relationship between different urban spaces (open, built-up, planted);

6) compositional and visual links (panoramas), and the relationship between the natural setting and the setting created by people.

[1, Article 59, paragraph 2].

NOTE — In this standard the term "subject of protection", without further qualification, means the subject of protection of the historic settlement. The subject of protection of a cultural heritage object is 3.1.15; the subjects of protection of individual objects are considered in the context of the record documentation of the objects (6.2.7).

3.1.4 historical and cultural value: The aggregate significance of the tangible and intangible characteristics of heritage for society and the local community, expressing a contribution to the formation of identity and the memory of the place, a sense of belonging and social cohesion, the development of cultural capital and quality of life, and also historical, scientific, artistic, urban-planning and symbolic significance; it is used as a basis for establishing protection regimes and for prioritizing development measures.

NOTE — A working term of this standard. It is not a legal definition of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1] and does not replace the subject of protection of the historic settlement (3.1.3) or the subject of protection of a cultural heritage object (3.1.15).

3.1.5 protection zones of cultural heritage objects: The protective zone of a cultural heritage object, the zone of regulation of development and economic activity, and the zone of the protected natural landscape, established in order to ensure the preservation of the cultural heritage object in its historic environment on the territory adjoining it.

[1, Article 34, paragraph 1].

NOTE — The protective zone of a cultural heritage object is the territory within which, in order to ensure the preservation of the cultural heritage object in its historic landscape setting, a special regime for the use of land and land plots is established that restricts economic activity and prohibits construction, except for the application of special measures aimed at the preservation and regeneration of the historic urban-planning or natural environment of the cultural heritage object, and except for the cases established by the Land Code of the Russian Federation [2]. The zone of regulation of development and economic activity is the territory within which a regime for the use of land and land plots is established that restricts construction and economic activity, and requirements for the reconstruction of existing buildings and structures are determined. The zone of the protected natural landscape is the territory within which a regime for the use of land and land plots is established that prohibits or restricts economic activity, construction and the reconstruction of existing buildings and structures in order to preserve (regenerate) the natural landscape, including river valleys, water bodies, forests and open spaces compositionally linked with cultural heritage objects. The definitions of the types of zone are given according to paragraph 2 of Article 34 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1] and correspond to GOST R 59124-2020, clauses 3.3–3.5. Safeguard zones of cultural heritage objects (Article 34.1 of that Federal Law [1]) are not part of the protection zones.

3.1.6 territory of the historic settlement: The territory within the boundaries of the corresponding inhabited locality.

[1, Article 59, paragraph 8].

NOTE — The boundaries of the territory of the historic settlement may not coincide with the boundaries of the inhabited locality and are approved by the authorized state authority in accordance with Article 59 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]. The characteristics of the historically formed planning structure, built fabric, landscape and spatial links and social practices belong to the historic environment (3.1.7) and to intangible heritage (3.1.10) and do not replace the legal boundaries of the territory.

3.1.7 historic environment (historic urban-planning environment): The aggregate of the elements of the historic built fabric, planning and landscape, including the scale, structure, form and stylistic qualities of the built fabric, the elements and character of the improvement of the public realm, and other characteristics of the environment that possess historical, urban-planning and architectural value.

[GOST R 59124-2020, clause 3.13]

NOTE — Intangible practices are taken into account in this standard as an element of intangible heritage (3.1.10) and do not extend the legal content of the historic urban-planning environment.

3.1.8 authenticity: The property of a cultural heritage object or of the historic environment that characterizes the credibility and originality of their attributes, expressed through form and design, materials and substance, use and function, traditions and techniques, location and setting, spirit and feeling of the place, and other forms of intangible heritage.

NOTE — The list of attributes of authenticity is based on the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention (paragraph 82). The term is not a legal definition of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1] and does not replace its provisions. In GOST R 59124-2020, clause 3.12, authenticity is defined as a quality confirmed by the presence of material characteristics whose historical credibility is scientifically and documentarily substantiated.

3.1.9 integrity: The property of a cultural heritage object or of the historic environment that characterizes their wholeness and intactness; the assessment of integrity includes determining the extent to which the object or the environment includes all the elements necessary to express their historical and cultural value, is of adequate size to ensure the complete representation of the features that convey their significance, and does not suffer adverse effects from development or neglect.

NOTE — The definition is based on the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention (paragraph 88). The term is not a legal definition of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]. That Federal Law uses the word "integrity" (Articles 36, 38 and 47.2) without a separate definition.

3.1.10 intangible heritage: Practices, ways of life, crafts, traditions, knowledge, skills, the historical experience of the development of the territory and other elements of cultural heritage, including those that do not at present have a material expression, that are associated with the territory of the historic settlement and are significant for the formation of the identity and the cultural development of the local community.

NOTE — A term of this standard. Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1] does not regulate intangible heritage and does not include it in cultural heritage objects or in the subject of protection of the historic settlement (3.1.3).

3.1.11 historic urban landscape: An urban territory understood as the result of the historic layering of cultural and natural values and attributes, including the historic built fabric and planning structure, natural elements and the landscape, intangible practices and social ways of life, visual links and panoramas, extending beyond the notion of the "historic centre" and covering a wider context and geographical setting.

NOTE — The term is based on the UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (Paris, 2011). It does not replace the notions of the historic settlement (3.1.1) and of a place of interest under Article 3 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1] and is not a legal definition of that Federal Law [1].

3.1.12 cultural landscape: A territorial complex formed as a result of the evolutionary interaction of nature and people and of their socio-cultural and economic activity, and consisting of characteristic combinations of natural and anthropogenic components that are in a stable interrelationship and interdependence.

[GOST R 59124-2020, clause 3.41]

NOTE — In Article 3 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1], cultural and natural landscapes are indicated as a type of place of interest and do not form a separate legal regime.

3.1.13 regeneration of the historic environment: The aggregate of urban-planning measures aimed at making good losses, restoring integrity and realizing the historic urban-planning potential of urban-planning objects, carried out by the methods of restoration reconstruction, compensatory and adaptive construction in accordance with the traditional principles and techniques of forming the historic urban-planning environment, and at restoring compositional and visual links.

[GOST R 59124-2020, clause 3.36]

NOTE — The term does not replace the reconstruction of a lost cultural heritage object under Article 47 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]. In that Federal Law [1] the word "regeneration" is used in the regimes of protection zones (Article 34).

3.1.14 identified cultural heritage object: An object that possesses the attributes of a cultural heritage object in accordance with Article 3 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1] and in respect of which the regional cultural heritage protection authority has decided to include it in the list of identified cultural heritage objects.

[1, Article 16.1, paragraph 5].

NOTE — An identified cultural heritage object is subject to state protection until a decision is taken to include it in the register or to refuse to include it in the register.

3.1.15 subject of protection of a cultural heritage object: A description of the features of the object that are the grounds for its inclusion in the register and that are subject to mandatory preservation.

[1, Article 18, paragraph 2, subparagraph 6].

3.1.16 preservation of a cultural heritage object: Measures aimed at ensuring the physical preservation and the preservation of the historical and cultural value of a cultural heritage object, providing for conservation, repair, restoration and the adaptation of the cultural heritage object for modern use, and including research, survey, design and production work, scientific direction of the work on the preservation of the cultural heritage object, and technical and author's supervision of that work.

[1, Article 40, paragraph 1].

3.1.17 adaptation of a cultural heritage object for modern use: Research, design and production work carried out in order to create conditions for the modern use of a cultural heritage object, including the restoration of elements of the cultural heritage object that are of historical and cultural value.

[1, Article 44].

3.2 Terms for sustainable development

3.2.1 sustainable development (as applied to historic settlements): Development of a territory that provides for an improvement in the quality of life of the population through coordinated spatial, social and economic development, carried out on the basis of a balance of the interests of the individual, society, the environment and the economy, with the preservation and rational use of the potential of cultural heritage in the interests of the present and future generations.

NOTE — The definition is based on GOST R ISO 37101-2018, clause 3.36, and is adapted to take account of the specific character of historic settlements and of the provisions of the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation [3] (Article 1, paragraph 3).

3.2.2 sustainable development management system: A set of interrelated elements of an organization for establishing a policy and objectives and processes to achieve sustainable development.

NOTE — An adaptation of the term "management system" in GOST R ISO 37101-2018, clause 3.21. In the cycle of Clauses 5–12 this term is applied as the implementation management system (Clause 11) and the implementation monitoring system (Clause 12); the title of Clause 11 does not introduce a separate kind of management system.

3.2.3 interested party: A person or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision or activity relating to the sustainable development of a historic settlement.

[GOST R ISO 37101-2018, clause 3.19, modified]

3.2.4 historical and cultural potential: The aggregate of the tangible and intangible cultural heritage resources of a territory (cultural heritage objects, the historic environment, intangible heritage, the historical experience of the development of the territory), considered as the basis for integrating heritage into the urban-planning, social and economic development of the territory.

3.2.5 socio-economic value of heritage: The contribution of cultural heritage to the social, economic and cultural development of a territory, including the formation of identity, the development of human capital, economic value, an improvement in the quality of the environment and the strengthening of the potential of heritage.

3.2.6 adaptive use of historic buildings: The adaptation of historic buildings that are not cultural heritage objects to modern functions, with minimal intervention in the authentic material fabric, preservation of the subject of protection (where one exists) and the economic viability of the building.

NOTE — For cultural heritage objects, the adaptation of a cultural heritage object for modern use (3.1.17) is applied in accordance with Article 44 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]. This term does not extend the legal regime of that Article to buildings that are not cultural heritage objects.

3.3 Terms for planning and management

3.3.1 master plan for the development of a territory (master plan): A comprehensive document of strategic planning, including territorial planning, that determines the long-term objectives and tasks of the socio-economic and spatial development of a municipality (or of two or more municipalities that have a common boundary).

NOTE — The composition, content and procedure for preparing a master plan are determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation and by the decision on its preparation. This standard does not establish the composition, content or procedure for preparing a master plan.

3.3.2 sustainable development implementation plan (sustainable development action plan): A document containing a list of specific measures, time frames, those responsible for their implementation and the resource provision for achieving the sustainable development objectives of the historic settlement.

NOTE — In mode A (5.1.4) the implementation plan is included in the list of measures for the implementation of the master plan (10.1.2).

3.3.3 sustainable development documentation of the historic settlement (sustainable development documentation): The aggregate of the results of Clauses 5–12 of this standard, including the analysis of the state of the territory of the historic settlement, of the problems and directions of its sustainable development, and the list of measures for the sustainable development of the territory of the historic settlement under subparagraphs 1 and 2 of paragraph 3 of Article 60 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1], together with the objectives, the vision of territorial development, the project solution and the implementation plan.

NOTE — Sustainable development documentation is developed as part of a master plan or as a standalone document (5.1.4). It is not identical to the master plan (3.3.1) and is not identical to the list of sustainable development measures.

3.3.4 cultural heritage impact assessment: A procedure, additional to the assessment of effects on the subject of protection of the historic settlement, for identifying and analysing the indirect effect of a planned activity on the subject of protection of the historic settlement and on the historic environment in a wider sense.

NOTE — The assessment is carried out under 7.12.2. It does not repeat the assessment of effects on the elements of the subject of protection (7.12.1) and does not replace the state historical and cultural expert review (4.3.6; Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 530 of 25 April 2024 [4]). The term does not denote the assessment of the impact of works on a cultural heritage object that is included in the sections on ensuring its preservation (paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 36 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]).

3.3.5 vision of territorial development: A description of the prospective state of the socio-economic and spatial development of a territory, formed on the basis of an integrated analysis, the sustainable development objectives and the reconciliation of the values of interested parties, and determining the target image of the territory over specified time horizons.

4 Principles of sustainable development of historic settlements

This Clause establishes the principles of sustainable development of historic settlements. The principles set the normative orientations of sustainable development. Requirements for the procedures of implementation are established in Clauses 5–12 of this standard.

The principles are grouped by fields of sustainable development: general principles applied to all fields (4.1); people and community (4.2); environment and heritage (4.3); heritage economy (4.4); governance (4.5). For the purposes of traceability, each principle is assigned a stable identifier and a field of sustainable development; the register of principles is given in Annex C (C.9).

4.1 General principles of sustainable development

4.1.1 Objective-setting and vision in the balance "people — environment — economy"

The sustainable development objectives of historic settlements are formed on the basis of a balance of the interests of people (improvement of the quality of life of the population), the environment (preservation and development of the historic environment and the natural setting) and the economy (ensuring the economic viability of the territory).

A vision is formed — a prospective image of the territory as an alternative to the inertial scenario — in which the sustainable development objectives are realized through balanced socio-economic and spatial development, taking into account the preservation and active use of the historical and cultural potential. The vision links the sustainable development objectives, the values of residents, the mission of the historic settlement and its role in the region.

4.1.2 Heritage as an independent vector and a factor of cultural readiness for change

Cultural heritage is positioned not as a "public burden" or a sectoral encumbrance, but as a "common good" and an independent vector of sustainable development of equal standing with people, the environment and the economy (4.1.1). At the same time, heritage conditions the course of sustainable development through its determining role in forming the cultural readiness of people and territories for change.

A simplified positioning of heritage — only as an expensive item of real estate or only as a tourism resource — shall not be permitted in sustainable development documents. Historical and cultural potential is translated into urban-planning and socio-economic processes through an integral system of instruments, and not through isolated sectoral measures.

4.1.3 Sustainable development as a continual adaptive process

Sustainable development is regarded as a continual process of modelling, adaptation and improvement. The resilience of the planning system is secured not by fixing an achieved state, but by its adaptability: the ability to review objectives, instruments and measures when trends, tendencies and the way of life of residents change.

Sustainable development documents shall function as an information system that provides for the modelling of territorial and sectoral problem fields for the required calculation period, and not as a static document with a horizon detached from current urban-planning processes. The time gap between the planning horizons of territorial planning documents and current processes is closed by forming territorial and sectoral sustainable development measures; for historic settlements the set of such measures is drawn up as sustainable development documentation — as part of a master plan or independently (5.1.4, 3.3.3).

Special requirements are placed on sustainable development documentation, including documentation developed as part of a master plan, ensuring at least: socio-cultural analysis and the taking into account of identity; the positioning of heritage as an independent vector and a factor of cultural readiness for change; the identification and demonstration of the socio-economic value of heritage and its integration into urban processes; coordination of state protection and development; measures that secure the conditions for preserving the elements of the subject of protection and for building up historical and cultural potential; confirmation of the reality of the functioning of the socio-economic model of the territory within the established boundaries and constraints of the historic settlement.

4.1.4 Creating conditions, rather than prescribing activity

Sustainable development measures shall be aimed at creating favourable conditions (infrastructural, legal, institutional) for the development of the territory, and not at a detailed prescription of the functional use of objects and of the conduct of business. Objectives are formulated in terms of conditions and states.

The principle is applied to all fields of sustainable development: in the economy, as the creation of the necessary and sufficient conditions for activity (people, territorial and infrastructural resources, planning, good practice); in the preservation of heritage, as a transition from a prohibitive formula to the securing of the conditions of preservation (4.3.9).

4.1.5 Taking into account the interests of future generations

When decisions are taken on the development of a territory, the interests of future generations are taken into account, and the potential for the long-term development of historic settlements is preserved and built up. Cultural heritage is regarded as a non-renewable resource, the responsible use of which is an obligation to future generations.

4.2 People and community

4.2.1 The person as the subject of development: development of the territory through the development of the person

Territorial development is realized not only through the transformation of the environment, but also through the purposeful development of human capital: culture and heritage act on the person, and not on sectors. A competent community is formed that is capable of determining the development of the environment; preparation of a document before the residents have been engaged shall not be permitted.

Education and the development of human capital on the basis of processes of heritage preservation is a sustainable strategy that secures continuity and the reproduction of the values of the historic environment. The development of the competence of the population, of investors and of municipal officers in the field of heritage and sustainable development is a condition of effective participation. The desired socio-economic state of the territory is modelled, among other things, through the motivations, competence and values of its residents.

4.2.2 The cultural landscape as the environment that forms the person

The landscape is recognized as an essential component of people's surroundings and as the basis of the quality of the living environment. The value of all landscapes of the historic settlement is recognized (not only the outstanding ones), including everyday landscapes and those in need of restoration; landscape quality objectives are formed.

The cultural landscape is regarded as an environment of continual influence on residents, forming identity and a cultural and creative demand. The principle of feedback is applied: the development of the person is directed towards the creation of the environment, and the formation of the environment towards the definition of the person. Conditions are created for the realization of the cultural and creative demand of residents activated by the environment — up to the formation of a cultural environment as a space of the creative and innovation economy.

4.2.3 Identity, social cohesion and quality of life

The cultural customs, practices and values of interested parties are identified and taken into account (socio-cultural analysis). Identity determines the connection of people with culture and the territory, and affects entrepreneurial activity, the cohesion of communities and the readiness of residents to accept change and to transform the environment together; transformation of the environment is carried out more effectively by associations or groups of residents, and social cohesion is taken into account in planning.

An improvement in the quality of life of the population is ensured while preserving and developing the historic identity of the place; a sense of belonging and social cohesion is formed on the basis of historical and cultural heritage; a comfortable environment for the person is formed predominantly through the preservation and continuous development of the historic environment.

4.2.4 Participation of interested parties

The active participation of interested parties (residents, business, non-profit organizations in the field of heritage, the professional community, public authorities) in planning, decision-making and implementation is ensured — from objective-setting to monitoring. Planning is regarded as an open process in which all interested parties are engaged; the results of participation form part of the evidence base for the quality of decisions.

4.2.5 Social protection, equal access and accessibility of heritage

The protection regime creates an asymmetry of burdens on the owners and residents of historic territories. Sustainable systems shall ensure a minimum of necessary benefits for those who bear costs for the sake of the common good. The principle of compensation of the costs associated with protection encumbrances is applied, in the forms and in the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, taking into account the spatial inequality of access to support instruments. This clause does not establish expenditure obligations or new support measures. The social risks of displacement of residents and of gentrification shall be taken into account.

The physical and information accessibility of cultural heritage objects for the population is ensured, as is the creation of conditions for their use for educational, cultural and tourism purposes.

4.3 Environment and heritage

4.3.1 Priority of the preservation of heritage as a common good and a resource for development

Priority is ensured for measures to preserve cultural heritage objects and the subject of protection of the historic settlement when decisions are taken on the development of the territory. Cultural heritage is used as an active resource for improving the quality of life of the population, developing the economy and forming a comfortable living environment, while ensuring its preservation for future generations.

4.3.2 Preservation of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment

Authenticity is a factor of the resilience and the demand for the urban environment: an authentic space is perceived as safe and tested by time, forming effects of social identity that are significant for the attractiveness of the territory and for business in the sphere of services to the population. Preservation of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment as interrelated properties of heritage is ensured.

4.3.3 Taking historical and cultural value into account in development planning

Historical and cultural value is used as a basis for establishing protection regimes, prioritizing development measures and forming requirements for urban-planning regulations. When development options are assessed — including in the integrated development of territories on historic territories — the principle is applied that cultural value is taken into account on an equal footing with financial value; identity and authenticity are regarded as factors of consumer loyalty and of a premium for uniqueness, and not as an encumbrance on the project.

4.3.4 Layering of urban heritage (historic urban landscape approach)

The heritage of a historic settlement includes interrelated layers: the historic built fabric and planning structure, natural elements and the landscape, intangible practices and social ways of life, visual links and panoramas. Sustainable development management shall take all layers into account in their interaction, and shall not permit the isolated consideration of individual components of heritage in isolation from the integral system of the historic urban landscape and of activity.

4.3.5 Identification, preservation and use of intangible heritage

Practices, ways of life, crafts, traditions and the historical experience of the development of the territory are identified and taken into account, including those that do not at present have a material expression. Intangible heritage is regarded as a potential for the harmonious development of the person, the environment and the economy and as a resource for the project solutions of sustainable development.

4.3.6 Protection of the heritage context and the mitigation hierarchy

The protection of cultural heritage objects and of the historic environment includes the protection not only of the objects themselves, but also of their setting, urban-planning context, visual openings, panoramas and spatial links. Loss of context reduces the historical and cultural value of the object and weakens its potential as a resource for the development of the territory.

When new objects, reconstruction and other changes in the historic environment are planned, the mitigation hierarchy is applied:

a) avoidance of an adverse effect on cultural heritage objects and on the subject of protection of the historic settlement — the priority measure;

b) where avoidance is impossible — reduction of the effect to the lowest practicable level;

c) then — rehabilitation (restoration) of the impaired characteristics of the environment;

d) compensation — a last resort where other solutions are justifiably impossible.

Compensation is not applied to the elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement: those elements are subject to unconditional preservation. This clause establishes the mitigation hierarchy for all stages of the documentation; Clauses 7–12 do not reproduce it and refer to it.

The compatibility of changes with the subject of protection is checked under 4.3.8 and 7.12.1. The additional assessment of the indirect effect on the subject of protection and the historic environment (3.3.4) is carried out under 7.12.2 before the vision of territorial development, the target scenario and the measures of the project solution are fixed, and when an adopted decision is substantially changed. The assessment is not a condition for the issue of a construction permit and does not replace the state historical and cultural expert review carried out in accordance with Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1].

4.3.7 Quality of interventions in the historic environment as a factor of capitalization

The quality of any intervention in the historic environment is regarded as a multidimensional characteristic (environmental, cultural, social, economic). Interventions shall ensure the preservation of the authenticity and integrity of heritage. The principles of recognized international charters and recommendations in the field of heritage protection are taken into account to the extent that they do not contradict the legislation of the Russian Federation; the documents are given in Annex A.

The quality of the architectural environment is a strategic imperative of the sustainable development of historic settlements: high architectural quality in renovation and regeneration forms the basis for the capitalization of real estate and for the competitiveness of development projects on historic territories relative to projects on non-historic territories.

4.3.8 Management of change in the balance of preservation and development

Heritage management is regarded as the management of change with the preservation of value: a strict fixing of the elements to be preserved (the subject of protection) provides the basis, beyond which continuous development may occur. Any changes shall be checked in a forecast for compatibility with the subject of protection. The development side is limited by the provisions of the subject of protection and by the requirements of the urban-planning regulations of the historic settlement; the protection side records the value elements and the elements to be preserved carefully and with legal precision.

4.3.9 Active securing of the conditions of preservation

A directive instruction to preserve the subject of protection is not sufficient: elements of protection degrade without organizational, financial and meaningful conditions. The principle of a transition from the formula "it is forbidden to destroy" to the formula "the conditions for preservation are secured" is applied — including maintenance, monitoring and sources of financing for the key elements of the subject of protection.

4.3.10 Building up historical and cultural potential

Organizational, legal and other conditions are created that contribute not only to the preservation but also to the systematic building up of the historical and cultural potential of the historic settlement — predominantly through advance historical and cultural, socio-cultural and architectural and urban-planning studies, and not only through the preservation of what has already been identified. Building up the potential secures parity of the heritage sphere with the urban-planning sector.

4.3.11 Load on historic territories

Each historic territory has a limit of load; exceeding it leads to the degradation of objects, the loss of authenticity and the displacement of residents. Management of the load is checked against the risks of displacement of residents, gentrification and a tourism single function (4.2.5, 5.4.4, item i) and is measured by the indicators of Annex B (B.2.1.6, B.2.2.2). A tourism single function creates a vulnerability of the territory and shall be prevented by the diversification of functions and the regulation of flows.

4.3.12 Regeneration of the historic environment

A system of measures is formed that is aimed at restoring the integrity of the compositional structure of the historic urban landscape and of the natural setting. Preservation, restoration and the continuous development of the traditional urban-planning characteristics of the environment are provided for (the street and road network, the historic parcel structure, the frontage of street development, the traditional system of planting, the elements of the hydrographic network, the character of the relief, and others). The historic environment as a whole is subject to preservation — not only cultural heritage objects, but also the ordinary historic built fabric as its bearer.

4.3.13 Sustainable integrated conservation

The preservation of cultural heritage and the sustainable development of the territory are regarded as a single process, and not as competing tasks. Development decisions are taken so that the value of heritage, the viability of the territory and public consensus are secured together. Integrated conservation includes the coordination of protection and development (4.5.4), the participation of interested parties (4.2.4) and the check of the compatibility of changes with the subject of protection (4.3.8).

4.4 Heritage economy

The principles of this subclause form a sequence: positioning and demonstration of the value of heritage (4.4.1–4.4.3), then integration of the value into economic and investment processes (4.4.4–4.4.7).

4.4.1 Demonstration of the contribution of heritage and the socio-economic value of heritage (SEVH)

Demonstration of the contribution of cultural heritage to the development of territories and of human capital is ensured. The socio-economic value of heritage and its integration into urban industries and functional processes are identified, assessed and developed; the social, educational and cultural effect of heritage on the residents of historic settlements is modelled. The social and economic value of heritage shall be conveyed to the participants in urban-planning and investment processes in the language of effects that is understandable to investors and public authorities: the preservation of heritage without a demonstrated contribution to the well-being of people is not secured by sustainable financing.

The optimal structure of the argument includes: positioning and branding of the territory; social value and the development of human capital; economic value; the formation of a comfortable urban environment; strengthening of the potential of heritage.

4.4.2 Preservation of heritage as an institution of public trust

The fulfilment of obligations to the past — cultural heritage — forms the trust of investors and of society in the fulfilment of obligations to the future within investment and other programmes for the development of the territory. A careful attitude to heritage is evidence of the responsibility of public authorities.

4.4.3 Development on the basis of historical experience and the brand of the territory

The development of territories and sectors with reliance on historical experience (including intangible experience) is accepted more naturally by society. Historical experience is taken into account in personnel training programmes, in the positioning of territories and in the creation of local brands. The brand of the historic settlement is formed on the basis of the interpretation of historical experience and may act as an "umbrella" for local production that uses the brand of the territory in the positioning of products. Culture, identity, traditions and historical experience constitute the intangible asset ("goodwill") of the historic settlement and are taken into account in assessing the potential of its economy.

4.4.4 Adaptive use and the integration of heritage into functional processes

The adaptation of cultural heritage objects for modern use (3.1.17) and the adaptive use of historic buildings that are not cultural heritage objects (3.2.6) are ensured, with minimal intervention in the authentic material fabric and with a functional content that secures economic viability. Where financing is insufficient, the scope of work minimally necessary to bring the object into commercial use should be carried out, without lowering the subject of protection (3.1.15) and without reducing the scope of work established by Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1].

Heritage is integrated into urban industries and functional processes (tourism, education, culture, creative industries) while preserving and developing its socio-economic value; heritage is regarded as an asset of creative entrepreneurship, and the historic environment as a space of the creative economy.

4.4.5 Investment transparency, readiness and predictability of conditions

A hierarchical system of investment passports is formed (from the level of a monument to the level of the historic settlement). The technical, economic, organizational and legal parameters of the development of historic objects and territories should be made accessible. The completeness of the record documentation (an approved subject of protection, cadastral data, protection obligations, a technical condition report, information on encumbrances) is measured by the indicator of Annex B (B.1.5.2) and is not a prohibition on bringing cultural heritage objects into economic use. Information on the investment readiness of objects should be placed in open information resources.

Within sustainable development documentation, a preliminary selection of investment lots with transparent technical and economic parameters is provided for; lots are formed as a single complex (restoration, reconstruction, new construction) with the emphasis on the quality of development of the historic environment, and not on the maximization of compensatory volumes. Negative technical and economic parameters without a model for the use of the socio-economic value of heritage are recognized as a cause of the degradation of objects.

Predictability of conditions is the principal factor of the sustainability of investment projects on historic territories: the characteristics of the environment to be preserved and the requirements for development are fixed at the earliest possible stages of the investment cycle, remain unambiguous at all stages and contain no "grey zones". Simplification of procedures without the formalization of the characteristics of the environment creates greater uncertainty for the investor than complex but clear rules.

4.4.6 Economic measurement of value and diversification of financing

The sustainability of the territory requires measurement of the economic and cultural (non-market) value of heritage and justification of the sources of financing; project solutions cannot be based on a calculation that assumes unsecured sources. Long-term sustainability is secured by a portfolio of instruments (public-private partnership, the endowment of non-profit organizations, a tourism levy, subsidies, preferential lending, crowdfunding), and not by one-off subsidies.

4.4.7 Integration of investment planning

Investment planning is an integral element of sustainable development. The system shall provide for the modelling of urban-planning decisions by volumes, types of investment and sources of financing in the interrelationship of value priorities and economic possibilities.

4.5 Governance of sustainable development

4.5.1 Hierarchy of values and cascading of objectives

Sustainable development objectives shall be linked to the values of residents, the values (principles) of the development of the city (historic settlement) and of the region, reflecting the mission of the historic settlement in the regional context. Targets shall make it possible to translate (cascade) them to different kinds of architectural and planning formations through the spatial instruments of the territorial model.

4.5.2 Integrated assessment, inertial forecast and the scenario approach

The assessment of the current state of the territory and the forecast of potential states are carried out by fields of sustainable development, with the identification of the causes of adverse states and the formulation of hypotheses to explain them; the assessment system shall make it possible to carry out an operational urban-planning and economic analysis of any territory or sectoral system.

Scenarios of the sustainable development of the territory are developed and analysed, taking into account the variability of the identified priorities and problem fields; the target scenario is determined as the optimal approach to achieving the vision of development, as an alternative to the inertial scenario.

4.5.3 Taking technological change into account and monitoring of trends

Decisions on the development of infrastructure and territories shall proactively take into account forecast technological and social changes (including new models of mobility, a change in the structure of the vehicle fleet, the introduction of unmanned technologies, and others). Active monitoring of trends, tendencies and changes in the way of life of residents is ensured — and not only of the degree of implementation of the measures that have been laid down; the planning system shall provide for the modelling of the reaction of territorial and sectoral systems to new trends.

4.5.4 Coordination of state protection and development

The powers to identify, determine and record value characteristics (the subject of protection) and to regulate the development of the territory are separated. Consistency of the decisions of heritage protection authorities and of the bodies responsible for the development of the territory is ensured. Coordination of state protection and development is also ensured in the preparation of planning documents within which sustainable development documentation is developed (5.1.7).

The establishment of protection constraints (including requirements for the urban-planning regulations of the historic settlement) should be combined with the formation of development programmes and measures. The standard does not make the approval of protection acts conditional on the existence of an economic model of the sustainable development documentation. Recommendations on the development of the documentation of the historic settlement in conjunction with the development and implementation of sustainable development documentation are given in Annex D.

4.5.5 Integrated approach and a cross-sector management model

An integrated approach to sustainable development management is applied, ensuring the coordination of actions in different spheres and the consistency of decisions at different levels of management. The real model of the functioning of a city does not coincide with a sectoral division and is cross-sectoral in character: cross-sectoral measures are formed with the operational roles of the interested departments recorded, which ensures the integration of the cultural aspect into the elements of the functional urban model.

4.5.6 Basing on factual data

Decisions are justified by the data of the integrated assessment, of monitoring and of analysis. The data are used to form objectives and to assess the effectiveness of sustainable development measures.

4.5.7 Management on the basis of impact indicators

A system of sustainable development indicators is formed and used for monitoring the achievement of objectives, assessing the effectiveness of measures and taking management decisions, including a quality matrix by stages of the life cycle (planning, design, construction, operation).

Monitoring indicators shall assess the effect on the target systems and states and illustrate the cross-sectoral effect, and not only the degree of fulfilment of the measures that have been laid down.

4.5.8 Continual improvement and pilot projects

Processes of continual improvement of the sustainable development management system are ensured on the basis of the monitoring of indicators, the analysis of results and the adjustment of objectives and measures. Pilot projects are applied as a method of tuning project solutions before scaling.

4.5.9 Leadership and relevance for governing bodies

Leadership of the management is ensured in the introduction of sustainable development decisions, and sustainable development documents are linked to the formalized assessments of the activity of governing bodies that are in force on the date of development of the documentation.

4.5.10 Transparency, accountability and digitalization

Guarantees of transparency and accountability are a condition of trust and of the long-term sustainability of heritage management. Public reporting, open data and the documentability of decisions are ensured.

Digitalization is applied to reduce transaction costs, to widen access to information, to support the management of the load on historic territories and to monitor the condition of cultural heritage objects.

4.5.11 AI-readiness of documentation

Sustainable development documentation should be formed in a state of AI-readiness: the structure and data of the documentation make it possible for an information system, including one based on artificial intelligence, to carry out the procedures of Clauses 4–12. The approach to AI-readiness and the recommended graph model of the territory are given in Annex C and are not a condition of conformity of the documentation with Clauses 4–12. A forecast of the effect of measures using the graph model does not replace the assessment under 7.12.

5 Setting objectives and determining the scope

This Clause establishes the procedures for setting objectives and determining the scope. The normative reference points for objective-setting are the principles of Clause 4. Collection of source data is carried out in accordance with Clause 6; comprehensive analysis, in accordance with Clause 7; formation of the vision, in accordance with Clause 8.

Objective-setting is carried out in two stages:

- preliminary setting of objectives (before the collection of source data and the analysis) — recording of the context, the interested parties, the boundaries of the scope, the preliminary system of objectives and the assignment for collection of the data necessary for refinement of the objectives (5.8); - refinement of objectives on the basis of the analysis results (after Clauses 6 and 7) — refinement of measurable objectives, and their linkage to indicators and to the problems of the territory.

The preliminary system of objectives does not substitute for the evidence base for the refinement of objectives on the basis of the analysis results. Refinement of objectives on the basis of the analysis results does not require re-approval of the boundaries of the scope if the boundaries have not changed.

Each objective is checked for consistency with the principles of Clause 4 (5.4.6).

5.1 Understanding the context of the historic settlement

5.1.1 Analysis of internal and external factors

Internal and external factors affecting the sustainable development of the territory are identified, including the political and legal, economic, social, technological and cultural contexts. The features of the natural landscape and of the historic environment of the settlement are regarded as constraining and guiding factors of objective-setting.

External and internal tasks that relate to the sustainable development objectives and affect the ability to achieve them are determined. Interested parties are engaged at an early stage (5.2).

5.1.2 Degree of formalization of the status of the historic settlement

The depth and specificity of objective-setting depend on the presence or absence of approved boundaries, a subject of protection and requirements for urban-planning regulations. The higher the degree of formalization of the status (from the fact of recognition as a historic settlement to approved boundaries, a subject of protection and urban-planning regulations), the more specifically the objectives are formulated as regards the preservation of heritage and the more detailed the constraints that shall be taken into account in the development of the territory.

Where the formalization of the status is insufficient, the gaps are recorded in the assignment for the collection of source data (5.8) and are included among the objectives. Completion of formalization (approval of the boundaries and of the subject of protection, and development of requirements for urban-planning regulations) should be combined with the formation of development programs and measures and with a check of the reality of the socio-economic model of the territory within the boundaries and constraints being established. The standard does not make the approval of acts of protection conditional on the existence of an economic model of the sustainable development documentation. Recommendations on the development of the boundaries of the territory, the subject of protection, requirements for urban-planning regulations and the historical and cultural reference plan are given in Annex D.

5.1.3 Heritage as an independent vector in the analysis of the context

The context of the historic settlement is described taking into account the positioning of cultural heritage in accordance with 4.1.2. Simplified positioning of heritage shall not be applied as early as the stage of setting the task and forming the preliminary system of objectives.

5.1.4 Modes of application of the standard

This standard is applied in one of two modes.

Mode A is applied if a master plan (3.3.1) is being prepared or amended whose territory includes a historic settlement. A separate document is not developed alongside the master plan. The results of the sustainable development documentation as regards the territory of the historic settlement are included in the parts of the master plan:

a) the objectives, the vision of territorial development and the justification of the choice of scenario — in the conceptual part;

b) key projects with the expected effects and the results of the assessment in accordance with 7.12 — in the priority projects;

c) the information in 9.6.1 and 9.6.2, item a), — in the provisions on territorial planning, the schematic maps of 9.6.3 — in the maps;

d) the implementation plan (Clause 10) — in the list of measures for implementation of the master plan;

e) if the master plan does not provide for substantiating materials, the analysis and the assessments, to the extent necessary for an understanding of the decisions, are included in the conceptual part.

If the composition of the parts of the master plan differs from that listed, the results are distributed according to the content of the parts. The correspondence is given in Annex E (E.3).

The assignment for the collection of source data (5.8), the baseline (6.1.2), the comparison of options (9.4), the structured results (9.12) and the graph model (Annex C) are not included in the master plan. They are stored as traceability materials and are transmitted to the authorized body (3.3.8).

Mode B is applied when a master plan is not being prepared. The sustainable development documentation is developed as an independent document. Its results are taken into account in the general plan (the unified document of territorial planning and urban-planning zoning), the strategy for socio-economic development of the municipality and the plan of measures for its implementation, the land use and development rules and programs (9.6, 9.10.2, 10.2.6, 10.6). When a master plan is to be prepared, the sustainable development documentation is used as source data: work that has retained its relevance is not repeated.

The documentation is developed under an assignment of the customer. The composition and form of such an assignment are not established by this standard. The correspondence of the typical blocks of the assignment to the Clauses and clauses of this standard is given in Annex E.

5.1.5 Rapid analysis for the start of the work

To start the development of the documentation, a rapid analysis of the territory is carried out by the directions of sustainable development (5.4.5), taking into account the degree of formalization of the status of the historic settlement and the key constraints of protection. The rapid analysis serves as the basis for the preliminary system of objectives and for the formation of the assignment for the collection of source data (5.8). The rapid analysis does not replace the collection of source data (Clause 6) or the comprehensive analysis (Clause 7).

5.1.6 Differentiation of the depth of development of the documentation

The depth of development of the documentation is determined in two stages.

The first stage is carried out at the preliminary setting of objectives. The initial depth of development is established according to the degree of formalization of the status of the historic settlement (5.1.2) and the results of the rapid analysis (5.1.5) and is recorded in the assignment for the collection of data (5.8). The composition of the data and procedures may be reduced if the reduction is recorded in the assignment and does not reduce the priority of preservation of cultural heritage objects, identified cultural heritage objects and the subject of protection of the historic settlement (4.3.1). The assessment of effects on the subject of protection and the additional impact assessment are carried out in accordance with 7.12.

The second stage is carried out in two steps that do not narrow the initial depth:

a) on the basis of the results of the prioritization of problem fields (7.13.4), the depth of development of Clauses 6 and 7 is confirmed or extended;

b) on the basis of the composition of the selected measures (9.4.7), the detailing of Clauses 10–12 is extended.

The customer of the documentation, jointly with the developer, takes the decision on each step and draws it up as a supplement to the assignment under 5.8, indicating the grounds. A repeated full cycle of Clauses 5–12 is not carried out for Clauses already completed.

5.1.7 Work under the standard in master plan procedures (mode A)

The procedure for the preparation and amendment of a master plan is established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. This standard does not establish that procedure. When sustainable development documentation is developed in mode A, the following should be done:

a) include in the decision on the preparation of the master plan and in the assignment for development: the degree of formalization of the status of the historic settlement (5.1.2), the results of the rapid analysis (5.1.5), the depth of development (5.1.6), the composition of the work for the territory of the historic settlement and the procedure for engagement of interested parties;

b) ensure the participation of the cultural heritage protection authority in the work of the commission (or other body) coordinating the preparation of the draft master plan;

c) transmit the results of the engagement of interested parties to the said commission as proposals of interested persons (5.2.7);

d) complete the assessment in accordance with 7.12 and the cross-check of the project solution with the target groups (9.4.5) before the draft master plan is submitted for public discussions or public hearings;

e) before endorsement of the draft master plan, obtain the position of the cultural heritage protection authority on the conformity of the draft, as regards the territory of the historic settlement, with the approved subject of protection — within the scope of clause 7 of Article 60 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ of 25 June 2002 "On cultural heritage objects (monuments of history and culture) of the peoples of the Russian Federation" [1], if concurrence of the draft master plan with the cultural heritage protection authority is not established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. This standard does not establish a new type of concurrence;

f) publish the list of measures for implementation of the master plan if it is approved as a separate document (10.8.2);

g) after approval of the master plan, in the first instance bring the land use and development rules into conformity with it as regards the territory of the historic settlement, with concurrence of the draft land use and development rules with the cultural heritage protection authority (clauses 5–7 of Article 60 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]; 10.2.2, item h));

h) carry out monitoring of implementation as regards the territory of the historic settlement as part of the monitoring of implementation of the master plan (Clause 12);

i) when amendments that affect the historic settlement are made to the master plan, including amendments for which public discussions or public hearings are not held, and amendments in connection with integrated development of the territory, carry out the assessment in accordance with 7.12.3 and the revision of the project solution in accordance with 9.14.

5.2 Identification and analysis of interested parties

5.2.1 Identification of interested parties

Identification of interested parties is carried out in order to identify, for each party, its objective-setting, values, intentions and competence. The results of identification serve as the initial basis above all for formulating the sustainable development objectives of the historic settlement as a whole (5.2.2–5.2.5, 5.4, 5.6; 4.2.1, 4.2.3, 4.2.4).

Interested parties are identified, including: residents; business; public organizations (including non-profit organizations in the field of heritage); state authorities and local self-government bodies; owners and users of cultural heritage objects; investors; the professional community (architects, restorers, urban planners); educational and scientific organizations; bearers of intangible heritage and communities of practice; persons and groups bearing the costs of protection encumbrances.

Planning is regarded as an open process in which interested parties are engaged; the document shall not be prepared before residents are engaged (4.2.1, 4.2.4).

5.2.2 Determination of needs and expectations

The interests, needs and readiness of interested parties to participate in socio-economic and spatial changes are identified. Potential conflicts of interest between groups of interested parties are determined, including between the tasks of preservation, development and investment and the everyday life of residents.

5.2.3 Assessment of the competence of interested parties

The level of awareness and competence of interested parties in the field of sustainable development and the preservation of heritage is assessed. Development of the competence of the population, investors and municipal employees is included among the objectives as a prerequisite for effective participation (4.2.1). The formation of a competent community capable of determining the development of the environment is regarded as a condition for the sustainability of participation (4.2.1).

5.2.4 Mapping of interests, influence and intentions

An "interests — influence — intentions" matrix should be formed for all groups of interested parties. The key groups capable of having the greatest impact on the achievement of the sustainable development objectives are determined. Problems and expectations are identified systematically through public consultations and other formats of participation.

5.2.5 Engagement of interested parties in objective-setting

The participation of interested parties in the formation of the sustainable development objectives is ensured — from the preliminary system of objectives to the refinement of objectives on the basis of the analysis results. The formats of participation range from informing and consultations to the joint elaboration of decisions. The results of engagement are part of the evidence base for the quality of the objectives (4.2.4).

A territorial assessment with the participation of interested parties precedes the refinement of objectives on the basis of the analysis results. The preliminary system of objectives is formed with the early engagement of the parties and is not deferred until the full collection of data has been completed.

5.2.6 Social risks of displacement and asymmetry of the burdens of protection

When parties are identified and objectives are formed, account is taken of the asymmetry of the burdens of the protection regime on owners and residents of historic territories, the risks of displacement of residents and of gentrification, and inequality of access to support instruments (4.2.5). The preliminary system of objectives includes the tasks of social protection, equal access and the physical and information accessibility of cultural heritage objects.

5.2.7 Engagement and public procedures

Engagement of interested parties under this standard begins at the analysis stage, precedes public discussions or public hearings and does not replace them.

In mode A, the results of engagement are transmitted to the commission (or other body) coordinating the preparation of the draft master plan, as proposals of interested persons. The materials record the account taken of the proposals and the reasons for rejection of proposals that have not been taken into account.

In mode B, the results of engagement are transmitted in the same manner during the preparation of the general plan and the land use and development rules.

5.3 Determination of the scope and boundaries

The scope of the sustainable development documents records the territorial and functional boundaries of the scope and the zones of authority, within which the system of objectives is formulated (5.4), and the limits beyond which objectives are not set as obligations of the body responsible for the development and implementation of the documentation. The results of 5.1 and 5.2 are used as source data; the result of this subclause is the boundaries and zones of authority within which the preliminary system of objectives is formed (5.4).

5.3.1 Territorial and functional boundaries of the scope

The formation of the boundaries of sustainable development may be carried out taking into account the information in the historical and cultural reference plan of the territory. Where approved boundaries of the historic settlement exist, they are taken into account as the initial boundaries. Recommendations relating to the historical and cultural reference plan and to the boundaries of the territory of the historic settlement are given in Annex D.

In mode A, the territory of development is the territory of the master plan. In mode B, the territory of development is the historic settlement with its functional links (5.3). If there are no data on the historic settlement, indicators are calculated for the municipality, with this level indicated (Annex B, B.3.1.2). In both modes, the territory of the historic settlement is a zone of special requirements (5.4.4, 7.12, Annex B, subclause B.1). If several historic settlements are located within the territory of development, a zone of special requirements is established for each of them.

Objectives are formulated at several spatial levels: a block or a district, the historic settlement as a whole, a functional territory or an agglomeration. Targets shall provide the possibility of transfer (cascading) to various types of architectural and planning formations through the spatial toolkit of the territorial model (4.5.1). The detailing of the objectives increases from the upper level (region, agglomeration) to the lower level (block, object).

The system boundaries of objective-setting may extend beyond the established boundaries of the historic settlement where it is necessary to take into account functional links (transport, economic, landscape, tourism and socio-cultural) with adjacent territories. When the scope is determined, the territorial boundaries of the community and the scale of interaction with external systems and territories are taken into account.

5.3.2 Zones of authority

A distinction is made between the zone of direct management (the powers of the body responsible for the development and implementation of the documentation), the zone of influence (the possibility of affecting the decisions of other entities) and the zone of context (external factors not amenable to direct management). For each objective, the zone of responsibility is determined according to these zones: in the zone of direct management, obligations are set; in the zone of influence, objectives of coordination, partnership and stimulation are set; in the zone of context, monitoring and adaptation are set. The distribution of responsibility ensures the realism and feasibility of the objectives.

5.3.3 Subject-matter limits of the scope

The scope covers the historic environment as a whole, including the interrelated layers of heritage, and not individual cultural heritage objects (4.3.4, 4.3.12). The load on historic territories is taken into account in accordance with 4.3.11 and is measured by the indicators of Annex B (B.2.1.6, B.2.2.2). A tourist monofunction is not accepted as the sole content of the preliminary system of objectives.

When the objectives are refined on the basis of the analysis results, the reality of the functioning of the socio-economic model of the territory within the selected boundaries and constraints is confirmed (4.1.3). If the model is not viable, the boundaries, the set of constraints or the set of objectives are subject to revision, and not to the fixing of requirements that are not secured. The boundaries, constraints or objectives may be revised on the initiative of public authorities or interested parties.

5.4 System of sustainable development objectives

5.4.1 Directions of objective-setting and heritage as a driving force of sustainable development

The system of objectives of the historic settlement is formed along the four directions of objective-setting of Clause 4: person and community; environment and heritage; heritage economy; management. The objectives ensure a balance of the interests of the person, the environment and the economy (4.1.1). The four directions are the basis of objective-setting, and not a separate group of objectives and not a list of sectoral tasks.

On this basis, three groups of objectives are formulated:

- objectives through the hierarchy of values (5.4.2); - basic objectives of sustainable development (5.4.3); - objectives of preservation and integration of heritage (5.4.4).

Cultural heritage is not set apart as an optional supplement to the general objectives. It is regarded as a driving force of sustainable development and as an independent vector of sustainable development (4.1.2). The third group of objectives (5.4.4) sets the conditions of this active role (4.1.2, 4.1.4, 4.3.9). At the same time, heritage acts as a factor of cultural readiness for change, and the basic objectives of 5.4.3 are checked for compatibility with the priority of preservation of heritage as a common good and a resource of development (4.1.2, 4.3.1). This compatibility check does not replace 5.4.4 and does not turn the objectives of 5.4.3 into heritage objectives.

The attainability of the objectives is checked by iterative analysis (5.4.5). The completeness of the system of objectives relative to the principles of Clause 4 is checked by traceability (5.4.6).

5.4.2 Hierarchy of values (first level of the formation of objectives)

The first group of objectives is formed through comparison and alignment of values at three levels: person (resident) — city (historic settlement) — region (4.5.1). This clause sets the first level of the formation of objectives. At the city level, the mission may be regarded as independent objective-setting. The hierarchy of values extends to each of the four directions of 5.4.1 and does not replace the basis of objective-setting formed by these directions. The link of the values with the basic objectives and with the conditions of the active role of heritage is established by iterative analysis (5.4.5).

##### 5.4.2.1 Values of the resident (person level)

Values are identified through socio-cultural analysis (4.2.3) and mechanisms of participation (4.2.4) and include: quality of everyday life (safety, comfort, accessibility of services); identity and belonging; social cohesion and readiness for joint transformation of the environment; development and self-realization (education, creativity, entrepreneurship); attitude to heritage (perception of the authenticity of the environment as a value); expectation of a fair distribution of the costs of protection (4.2.5).

##### 5.4.2.2 Values of the city (scale of the historic settlement) and the mission

The values of the city are formed at the intersection of the identified values of residents, the historical and cultural potential of the territory and the functional model of the city, and include: attractiveness of the territory for residence, business and visiting; preservation and development of the historic environment as a common good (4.3.1); authenticity and integrity as a competitive advantage (4.3.2, 4.3.7); economic viability through the creation of conditions, and not a prescription of business (4.1.4); public trust through a careful attitude to heritage (4.4.2); integration of heritage into functional processes and demonstrability of the contribution (4.4.1, 4.4.4).

The values of the city are manifested through four directions: person — environment — economy — management. The stability of the objectives may additionally be ensured when they are relevant to the leadership (a link to the formalized assessments of the activity of governing bodies that are in effect on the date of development of the documentation, 4.5.9), attractive to residents (demonstrated effectiveness in solving everyday problems) and adaptive over time.

The role and positioning of the historic settlement in the regional context may be formed at the level of the mission of the city. The mission ensures demonstrability of the contribution of cultural heritage to the development of territories and of human capital and sets logical chains of transmission of historical and cultural potential into urban-planning and socio-economic processes (4.4.1). The brand of the territory may be formed on the basis of comprehension and interpretation of historical experience (4.4.3).

The mission is recorded at the preliminary setting of objectives as a working formulation and is refined when the objectives are refined based on the results of the analysis.

##### 5.4.2.3 Values of the region

The values of the region define the external context within which the historic settlement positions its mission, and include: the role of the historic settlement in the regional settlement system and in the economy; the contribution of the heritage of the settlement to regional identity and the brand; conformity with the strategy of socio-economic development of the region; the "umbrella" brand of the territory and the intangible asset of the historic settlement (4.4.3).

##### 5.4.2.4 Mechanism of comparison and alignment of values

The process of objective-setting is built as an iterative alignment of the three levels of values and includes:

a) identification of values at each level independently: the values of residents — through socio-cultural analysis, surveys, consultations, mapping of values (5.2; when the objectives are refined based on the results of the analysis — by the data of Clause 6 and by the analysis under 7.2); the values of the city — through analysis of the historical and cultural potential, the functional model, the subject of protection (7.2–7.10); the values of the region — through analysis of strategies of socio-economic development, regional programs and positioning (5.1);

b) comparison and identification of zones of coincidence and of divergence: zones of harmony (the values of all levels coincide) — the priority basis of the objectives; zones of conflict (for example, the value of preservation of the environment and the value of rapid economic development) — require a search for balance through sustainable integrated conservation (4.3.13); zones of unawareness (the values exist but are not articulated) — require development of the competence of interested parties (4.2.1);

c) formation of objectives on the basis of aligned values: each objective is traceable to at least one level of values; priority is given to objectives supported by the values of all three levels; objectives with a conflict of values are accompanied by a mechanism of conflict management;

d) cascading (transmission) of objectives — targets are transmitted to various types of architectural and planning formations through the spatial toolkit of the territorial model (4.5.1); mapping and taking into account of the values of residents are ensured; the search for a balance in respect of values and objectives is modeled.

##### 5.4.2.5 Link of the hierarchy of values with the criteria of completeness

The four directions of objective-setting (5.4.1) and the traceability of objectives to the principles (5.4.6) jointly serve as criteria of completeness in the alignment of values. If the values of interested parties are concentrated around individual directions and do not affect the others, this is a sign of the need for additional work with the community or for the introduction of objectives based on an objective assessment of risks and of the state of the territory.

5.4.3 Basic objectives of sustainable development

The basic objectives of sustainable development form the second group of objectives. These are desired states of the territory and of the community, taking into account the specific features of historic settlements. The objectives are considered jointly. An objective should not be left without analysis only because it is not on the current agenda of interested parties. The link of the objectives with the directions of the iterative analysis and with the groups of 5.4.2 and 5.4.4 is established by the iterative analysis (5.4.5). This clause does not replace the basis of objective-setting under 5.4.1 and does not replace the first level of the formation of objectives (5.4.2).

a) Attractiveness — an increase in the attractiveness of the historic settlement as a place of residence, of doing business and of visiting; an appeal to citizens and other interested parties, including investors; formation of a sense of belonging; culture and a sense of identity; authenticity of the historic environment as a factor of attractiveness (4.3.2); quality of the architectural environment as a strategic imperative (4.3.7).

b) Preservation and improvement of the environment — preservation of the historic environment and of the natural surroundings; improvement of indicators of the state of the environment; heritage is regarded as a multilayer system (4.3.4); management takes into account all layers in their interaction.

c) Resilience (adaptability) — the ability of the historic settlement to prepare for, recover from and adapt to shocks and stresses; readiness for economic shocks; social development; development and analysis of scenarios of sustainable development of the territory, taking into account the variability of the identified priorities and problem fields (4.5.2); indicators for resilient cities (see GOST R ISO 37123).

d) Responsible use of resources — sustainable consumption, distribution and management of resources; improved management of land resources; recovery, reuse and recycling of materials; heritage is regarded as a non-renewable resource; account is taken of the interests of future generations (4.1.5).

e) Social cohesion — ensuring public accessibility, diversity and fairness; social inclusion; elimination of inequality; rootedness and a sense of belonging; heritage as a factor of social cohesion; identity determines the connectedness of people with culture and the territory (4.2.3); preservation of heritage is regarded as a process of development of society (4.2.1).

f) Well-being — access to opportunities; creativity, education; a healthy environment; improvement of human resources; quality of life; safety; prosperity; objectives in the format "person — environment — economy" (4.1.1); a comfortable environment for the person is formed predominantly through preservation and successive development of the historic environment (4.2.3).

5.4.4 Objectives of preservation and integration of heritage

For historic settlements, a mandatory group of objectives is formed, aimed at ensuring the conditions necessary for cultural heritage to act as a driving force of sustainable development (4.1.2, 4.1.4, 4.3.9). The group is formed by the questions of preservation of heritage and ensures implementation of the principles of subclauses 4.2–4.4 and of the special requirements for sustainable development documentation (4.1.3). It is not a sectoral list of protection measures and is not a supplement to the basic objectives of 5.4.3. The list a)–j) sets the content of the said questions: these are the conditions of the active role, and not a requirement to "protect separately". Without this block, the system of objectives of the historic settlement is not considered complete, even if 5.4.2 and 5.4.3 are filled in. Implementation of the block is checked by iterative analysis (5.4.5) and by traceability (5.4.6).

a) Building up of historical and cultural potential — creation of organizational, legal and other conditions conducive not only to preservation, but also to the planned building up of potential, predominantly through advance historical and cultural, socio-cultural and architectural and urban-planning studies (4.3.10).

b) Demonstrability of the contribution and socio-economic value of heritage (SEVH) — identification, assessment and integration of the SEVH into urban industries and functional processes; conveying the value to the participants in the processes in the language of effects (4.4.1).

c) Investment readiness and predictability of conditions — a hierarchical system of investment passports; transparency of technical and economic parameters and of organizational and legal parameters; completeness of registration documentation as a condition for involving objects in turnover; recording of the characteristics of the environment that are to be preserved at the early stages of the investment cycle (4.4.5).

d) Regeneration of the historic environment — a system of measures for restoration of the integrity of the compositional structure of the historic urban landscape, taking into account the identified zones of possible regeneration; the historic environment as a whole is subject to preservation, including ordinary historic buildings (4.3.12).

e) Intangible heritage — identification and taking into account of practices, ways of life, crafts, traditions and historical experience, including those that have no material expression at present; ensuring of spatial conditions for the transmission of practices; participation of bearer communities; intangible heritage is not reduced exclusively to tourism (4.3.5).

f) Landscape quality objectives — objectives in respect of the quality of all landscapes of the historic settlement (not only outstanding ones), including everyday landscapes and those in need of restoration; the cultural landscape as the environment of formation of the person (4.2.2).

g) Active conditions of preservation — a transition from the formula "it is forbidden to destroy" to the formula "conditions for preservation are ensured", including maintenance, monitoring and sources of financing for key elements of the subject of protection (4.3.9).

h) Management of load — explicit objectives for regulation of the load, diversification of functions and prevention of a tourism monofunction (4.3.11).

i) Social protection, equal access and counteraction to displacement — compensation of the costs of protection, physical and information accessibility of heritage, taking into account the risks of gentrification (4.2.5).

The involvement of objects in economic turnover in the territory of the historic settlement is checked, at all stages of the documentation, for the risks of displacement of residents, gentrification and a tourism monofunction (4.2.5, 4.3.11). This requirement applies in Clauses 8–12 and is not reproduced in them.

j) Synchronization of protection and development — consistency of the decisions of cultural heritage protection authorities and of development authorities; simultaneity of the establishment of restrictions and of development programs (4.5.4).

5.4.5 Iterative analysis of attainability and of refinement of objectives

Iterative analysis is a preliminary assessment of the relevance and attainability of the formulated objectives and a mechanism for their refinement. It does not replace the collection of initial data (Clause 6) and the comprehensive analysis (Clause 7) and is not reduced to filling in a matrix for the sake of form.

The directions of sustainable development do not form a separate group of objectives and are not a program of work. They serve as the axes of the iterative analysis, along which it is assessed how the three groups of objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4) may be implemented. The choice of directions is preliminary. It is carried out on the basis of a brief analysis of the functioning of the urban model (express analysis — 5.1.5; the area of responsibility and the reality of the socio-economic model — 5.3.2, 5.3.3), and not after the full collection of initial data under Clauses 6 and 7.

A direction should not be discarded only because it is not on the current agenda of interested parties, if a brief analysis of the model shows its significance. The specific list of directions may be refined taking into account significance (5.5.2) and the specific features of the heritage and revised when the objectives are refined based on the results of the analysis.

Directions of sustainable development:

a) management, powers and involvement — an integrated approach to management and active participation of interested parties (4.5.5, 4.2.4);

b) education and development of competence — education and development of human capital on the basis of processes of preservation of heritage; development of the competence of the population, investors and municipal employees (4.2.1, 4.2.2);

c) innovation, creativity and research — conditions for building up historical and cultural potential through advance studies; integration of heritage into the creative economy (4.3.10, 4.4.4);

d) health and safety of the community — a healthy environment and safe living conditions;

e) culture and identity — identification and taking into account of cultural customs, practices and values; preservation and use of intangible heritage (4.2.3, 4.3.5); preservation of local communities of residents connected with the territory;

f) living together, interdependence and mutuality — a balance of preservation of the value of heritage, sustainable development of the territory and public consensus (4.3.13);

g) economy, sustainable production and consumption — integration of investment planning; investment transparency, readiness and predictability of conditions (4.4.7, 4.4.5);

h) environment of living and activity — creation of favorable conditions for development of the territory; improvement of the quality of life while preserving historic identity (4.1.4, 4.2.3);

i) safety and security — safety and security of the territory, objects and the population;

j) community infrastructure — development of infrastructure aimed at creating conditions for life activity and development of the territory (4.1.4);

k) mobility — accessibility and connectivity of the territory, taking into account predicted technological and social changes (4.5.3);

l) natural surroundings and landscape — preservation, restoration and successive development of the natural surroundings of the historic settlement.

Iterative analysis along the selected directions of sustainable development is carried out as follows:

1. For each selected direction, the main question is formulated: "In what way, along this direction, may the objectives of the three groups be implemented (see 5.4.2–5.4.4)?" This approach focuses not only on the search for a direct correspondence to the objectives already in existence, but also on the identification of opportunities and ways of strengthening their implementation through the prism of the selected direction. 2. The following questions are then analyzed: - whether, among the formulated objectives, there are any that contribute to development along this direction; - whether individual directions (or all of them) require the setting of new objectives or the adjustment of existing objectives; - whether there are contradictions between them, especially from the standpoint of the priorities of preservation of heritage. 3. At the first stage, the express analysis is used (see 5.1.5) and, upon refinement, the results of the compilation of initial information and of the comprehensive analysis (Clauses 6 and 7). The iterative analysis is repeated after the data have been refined; the questions may be made more specific and more complex. 4. If, as a result of the analysis along any direction, no corresponding objectives are found, or an objective is not disclosed through the relevant directions, a gap ("gap analysis") is recorded, and either the objectives should be added or refined, or the directions should be revised.

5.4.6 Traceability of objectives to the principles

Traceability of objectives to the principles of Clause 4 is a method of checking the completeness of the system of objectives. The iterative analysis (5.4.5) answers the question of whether the objectives are attainable along the selected directions. Traceability answers the question of whether the system of objectives is complete relative to the principles.

The check is carried out in two opposing passes.

From objectives to principles. Each objective of the three groups (5.4.2, 5.4.3 and 5.4.4) is traced to at least one principle of Clause 4, with an indication of the clause. Objectives that are traceable neither to a principle nor to a value of at least one level (5.4.2) are not included in the system of objectives.

From principles to objectives. All the principles of Clause 4 are gone through and it is checked whether there is a linked objective. A principle without a linked objective is a completeness gap: an objective is formulated (for the principles of subclauses 4.2–4.4 — as part of the mandatory block of 5.4.4, if the content of the principle is covered by this block) or it is recorded why the principle is taken into account otherwise (a general principle of subclause 4.1, deferral until refinement of the objectives based on the results of the analysis).

After refinement of the objectives based on the results of the analysis, each objective is linked to the specific states and problems of the territory at which it is aimed.

5.5 Criteria for the formulation and selection of objectives

5.5.1 Requirements for the formulation of objectives

The sustainable development objectives of the historic settlement shall:

a) be aligned with the sustainable development policy;

b) be measurable through the system of indicators (in accordance with Annex B; 4.5.7);

c) provide the possibility of cascading to spatial levels — from the level of the historic settlement to the level of a quarter or an object (4.5.1);

d) be linked to time horizons: short-term — up to and including 3 years, may be linked to the electoral cycle; medium-term — more than 3 years and up to and including 6 years; long-term — more than 6 years. The horizons are aligned with clauses 19 and 20 of Article 3 of Federal Law No. 172-FZ of 28 June 2014 "On strategic planning in the Russian Federation" [5]. In mode A, the long-term horizon does not extend beyond the period of the master plan. Reference points beyond this period may be admitted in the vision of territorial development and are not provided for by the measures of the implementation plan;

e) be based on factual data of the comprehensive assessment, monitoring and analysis (4.5.6); for the preliminary setting of objectives, a preliminary system of objectives based on the express analysis (5.1.5) may be used, with mandatory refinement of the objectives based on the results of the analysis;

f) be compatible with the subject of protection of the historic settlement and with the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects (4.3.8);

g) be formulated predominantly in terms of conditions and states (4.1.4);

h) be tracked;

i) be communicated to interested parties;

j) be updated when conditions change;

k) ensure parity of cultural and financial value when assessing options, including in the integrated development of territories on historic territories (4.3.3);

l) ensure a balance of preservation of the value of heritage, sustainable development of the territory and public consensus (4.3.13).

5.5.2 Criteria for the selection of directions and for prioritization

When determining the significance of the directions of sustainable development for the iterative analysis (5.4.5) and selecting priority objectives, account is taken of relevance to interested parties, the contribution to the sustainability of the community, being within the zone of powers or influence of the body responsible for implementation of the documentation, the availability of means and technical feasibility, substantiation from the standpoint of the environment, the economy, finance and culture, the availability of resources, measurability of achievement, compatibility with heritage protection regimes and with the subject of protection of the historic settlement, the scale and severity of impacts, the period of time during which the impact occurs, the reversibility or irreversibility of impacts, and the presence of cumulative, secondary or synergistic impacts. All other things being equal, priority is given to objectives aimed at preventing irreversible impacts on the subject of protection and at ensuring the conditions of preservation (4.3.1, 4.3.9).

5.5.3 Alignment of objectives with strategic planning documents

The sustainable development objectives of the historic settlement are linked with the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation, with the territorial planning documents of the Russian Federation and of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, with regional Sustainable Development Goals (if any), with the strategies of socio-economic development of the region and of the municipality, with the master plan (if any) and with other documents developed in accordance with Federal Law No. 172-FZ [5]. In mode A, the objectives of this standard are included in the objectives and tasks of the master plan and do not form a separate system of strategic objectives.

5.6 Preliminary vision as a target image

As part of Clause 5, a preliminary prospective image of the territory is formed, as an alternative to the inertial scenario, in which the sustainable development objectives are implemented through balanced socio-economic and spatial development, taking into account the preservation and active use of historical and cultural potential (4.1.1). The preliminary vision is based on the three groups of objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4). The preliminary vision is formed with the participation of interested parties (4.2.4).

The full vision, scenario analysis, the target scenario and target states are formed after the collection of initial data and the analysis — in Clause 8. Clause 5 does not replace Clause 8.

5.7 Ensuring continuity and adaptability of objectives

5.7.1 Objectives as an element of a continual process

Sustainable development is regarded not as the development of a final static document, but as a continual process of modeling, adaptation and improvement (4.1.3). Objectives are not static and are subject to dynamic updating, taking into account changes in trends, tendencies and the way of life of residents.

5.7.2 Mechanism for the review and updating of objectives

A built-in cycle of checking and adjustment of objectives is ensured on the basis of the PDCA cycle (Plan–Do–Check–Act). The grounds for review of the objectives are: a substantial change in external conditions (economic, social, legal); achievement or systematic non-achievement of targets; a change in the priorities of the community or the emergence of new challenges; a change of the management team; the results of monitoring of trends and tendencies (4.5.3); a change in the boundaries of the territory of the historic settlement, in the subject of protection or in the requirements for urban-planning regulations; decisions on the integrated development of the territory within the boundaries of the historic settlement; changes in the territorial planning documents of the Russian Federation and of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation; in mode A — preparation of amendments to the master plan.

5.7.3 Link of objective-setting with the monitoring system

Each sustainable development objective (after refinement of the objectives based on the results of the analysis) has a link to measurable indicators from the system of sustainable development indicators (in accordance with Annex B; 4.5.7). Indicators should be correlated with the standardized indicators of GOST R ISO 37120 [6], and for indicators of digitalization and of resilience — with the indicators of GOST R ISO 37122 and GOST R ISO 37123, respectively; calculation of the full set of indicators of the said standards is not required (in accordance with Annex B, B.3.5.1). Indicators assess the impact on the required systems and states, and not only the degree of implementation of the measures laid down, and illustrate cross-sectoral impact.

It is periodically assessed whether strategies, programs, projects, plans and services contribute to the achievement of the objectives of 5.4.2–5.4.4.

5.8 Assignment for the collection of data necessary for refinement of the objectives

5.8.1 Purpose

On the basis of the results of the preliminary setting of objectives, an assignment is formed for the collection of data necessary for refinement of the three groups of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis. This subclause does not establish the methodology of collection, the composition of the data and the requirements for the format: they are set in 6.1–6.9. The assignment is drawn up before the start of work under Clause 6.

5.8.2 Content of the assignment

The assignment determines which data are necessary for confirmation, adjustment or deferral of the objectives of 5.4.2, 5.4.3 and 5.4.4, taking into account the iterative analysis (5.4.5). Collection is carried out under Clause 6; the composition is refined by the preliminary system of objectives and by the degree of formalization of the status (5.1.2). This clause does not reproduce the lists of 6.2–6.8 and the requirements of 6.1 and 6.9.

5.8.3 Data gaps as a basis for objectives

Types of data that cannot be obtained at the time of drawing up the assignment are recorded as gaps, with an assessment of the effect on the refinement of the objectives and on the reliability of the subsequent analysis. The filling of critical gaps (including advance studies of the subject of protection, of attributes of value, of intangible heritage and of registration documentation) is included among the objectives (4.3.10) and is not masked by expert assumptions without an indication of the degree of reliability.

6 Collection of source data

This Clause establishes the requirements for the collection and organization of source data. The assignment for the collection of source data is formed under 5.8. Analysis of the data collected is carried out under Clause 7. The assessment of effects on the subject of protection and the additional cultural heritage impact assessment are carried out under 7.12.

Collection is carried out after the preliminary setting of objectives and before the analysis under Clause 7. The composition is determined by the assignment of 5.8, taking into account the degree of formalization of the status (5.1.2) and the depth of development of the documentation (5.1.6). This Clause does not replace the analysis and does not reproduce the method of 7.12.

Collection forms the baseline.

6.1 General requirements for source data

6.1.1 Credibility, currency and completeness

The credibility, currency and completeness of the data are ensured. Official and verifiable sources are used. Where official data cannot be obtained, expert assessments may be used, with an indication of the source and of the degree of credibility (4.5.6).

6.1.2 Formation of the baseline

The collection of source data forms the baseline of the current state of the territory for the subsequent monitoring of the achievement of the sustainable development objectives (in accordance with Annex B). The baseline records the values of the indicators on the date of collection, and not the results of the analysis of causes and effects.

6.1.3 Completeness by fields of sustainable development

The source data shall provide a description of the current state of the territory by the four fields of Clause 4: people and community; environment and heritage; heritage economy; governance. Heritage is not singled out as an optional annex to the general data (4.1.2). The composition within the fields is refined by the assignment of 5.8 and does not require the uniform filling of all subclauses 6.2–6.8 if the assignment justifiably narrows the collection.

6.1.4 Layering

Data are collected for all layers of the historic urban landscape: the historic built fabric and planning structure, natural elements and the landscape, intangible practices and social ways of life, visual links and panoramas. Limitation of the collection to individual layers without taking their interaction into account shall not be permitted (4.3.4).

6.1.5 Spatial referencing

Data that admit spatial localization have a georeference and are referenced to the territorial units of analysis (4.5.1). Spatial referencing is a condition of the territorial model and of the cascading of targets.

6.1.6 Participation of interested parties in the collection of data

Through the mechanisms of engagement of interested parties, socio-cultural data, data on values, needs and expectations, and data on intangible heritage are collected. The formats range from questionnaires and consultations to joint mapping of values (4.2.4, 5.2.5).

A territorial assessment with the participation of interested parties precedes the refinement of objectives on the basis of the analysis results. The preliminary system of objectives has already been recorded and is not deferred until the full collection is complete.

6.1.7 Verifiability and documentability

For each kind of source data the source, the date of receipt, the method of collection and the degree of credibility are recorded. In lengthy processes a date of "freezing of the data" may be agreed that secures the comparability of the information. The data are stored in a format that provides for reuse and updating (6.9).

6.1.8 Composition of the collection and the separation of responsibility

The composition of the collection is determined by the assignment of 5.8. In the assignment and in the performance of the collection, the following are distinguished:

- data provided by the client — a state authority or a local self-government body, including documents of strategic and territorial planning, information from information systems and sectoral programmes; - data collected by the developer, including socio-cultural surveys, the inventory of value attributes, field surveys and data obtained with the participation of communities.

For each kind of information the particulars are indicated: source, date of creation, currency; the format of transfer and special conditions of use (where they exist).

6.1.9 Collection, analysis and impact assessment

The collection of source data is not an analysis of causes, a forecast or an assessment of effects. The analysis is carried out under Clause 7. The assessment of effects on the subject of protection and the additional impact assessment are carried out under 7.12. The data of 6.2 are used in the assessment under 7.12.

Kinds of data that cannot be obtained are recorded as gaps, with an assessment of the effect on the refinement of objectives and on the credibility of the analysis (5.8.3). The filling of critical gaps is included among the objectives (4.3.10) and is not masked by expert assumptions without an indication of the degree of credibility.

6.2 Data on historical and cultural heritage

The data of this subclause secure the implementation of principles 4.3.1–4.3.12 and 4.4.5 and of the objectives of 5.4.4, and are used in the analysis under 7.3 and 7.4 and in the assessment under 7.12. The priority of the preservation of the historic settlement is taken into account already at the stage of collection: the data include cultural heritage objects included in the register, identified cultural heritage objects and the subject of protection of the historic settlement.

6.2.1 Inventory of cultural heritage objects

Information is collected from the Unified state register of cultural heritage objects (monuments of history and culture) of the peoples of the Russian Federation; a list of cultural heritage objects on the territory of the historic settlement and in its zone of influence, with an indication of the category of historical and cultural significance, the type of object, and the date and number of the act placing it under state protection; documentation on the subject of protection of the historic settlement; protection-zone designs; information on identified cultural heritage objects.

6.2.2 Information on the degree of formalization of the status

The actual presence or absence of approved boundaries of the historic settlement, of an approved subject of protection and of established requirements for urban-planning regulations is recorded (5.1.2). Where formalization is insufficient, the specific gaps are recorded. This clause collects the facts of the status and does not repeat the objective-setting procedures of 5.1.2. Recommendations on the development of the documentation of the historic settlement in conjunction with the development and implementation of sustainable development documentation are given in Annex D.

6.2.3 Inventory of the attributes of historical and cultural value

An inventory is carried out of the elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement by its items and of the attributes of the historical and cultural value of the territory, with a description of the condition of each element and attribute. The composition of the items of the subject of protection corresponds to paragraph 2 of Article 59 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1] and to the structure of the approved subject of protection of the historic settlement:

a) historically valuable town-forming objects — buildings and structures that form the historic built fabric, including scale, volume, structure, style, structural materials, colour scheme and decorative elements;

b) the planning structure, including its elements;

c) the spatial-volumetric structure;

d) the composition and silhouette of the built fabric — the relationship of vertical and horizontal dominants and accents;

e) the relationship between different urban spaces (open, built-up, planted);

f) compositional and visual links (panoramas), and the relationship between the natural setting and the setting created by people.

Intangible practices are inventoried under 6.2.5 and are not part of the subject of protection.

The inventory records the composition, condition and location of the elements and attributes. The assessment of vulnerability and of effects, and the mitigation hierarchy, are carried out in Clause 7 and under 7.12.

6.2.4 Data on authenticity and integrity

The source information necessary for the subsequent assessment of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment is collected (4.3.2): form and design, materials, use and function, traditions and techniques, location and setting, perception of the place. The assessment of authenticity and integrity is carried out in 7.3; this clause does not establish the assessment procedure.

6.2.5 Intangible cultural heritage

The elements of the intangible cultural heritage of the territory are identified and documented: practices, ways of life, crafts, traditions, historical experience, traditional knowledge and skills, including those that do not at present have a material expression (4.3.5).

For each element included in the collection, the following are recorded: the name; the scale and the area of occurrence; the places, routes and spaces; the communities, groups and individuals who are bearers and practitioners; the ways of transmission, including intergenerational transmission; the contemporary meanings and functions for the communities; the associated urban resources. The inventory is carried out with the participation of the communities.

Intangible heritage is not reduced exclusively to tourism and to other kinds of activity oriented towards the extraction of income. The recording of the spatial conditions of the transmission of practices and of the links of intangible heritage with tangible objects and territories is ensured.

6.2.6 Lost and degraded elements of the historic environment

Lost or degraded elements of the historic environment are identified: lost buildings and structures, impaired fragments of the planning structure, degraded landscape elements, lost visual links (4.3.12). The assessment of the possibility and the appropriateness of regeneration is carried out in 7.3.

6.9 Data format and the information system

The requirements of this subclause secure the implementation of principles 4.1.3, 4.5.10 and 4.5.11. Sustainable development documents function as an information system of the territory. The source data are organized as the content of this system, and not as a static set of materials at the moment of approval of the documentation. The recommended approach to AI-readiness is given in Annex C.

6.9.1 Geoinformation referencing

Data that admit spatial localization are referenced to a single spatial model of the territory. The spatial model is built on a single electronic cartographic base and on the data of the state funds of spatial data. Information on cultural heritage objects, their territories, protection zones and the boundaries of the territory of the historic settlement is taken from the unified state register of cultural heritage objects, the Unified state register of real estate and the state information system for urban-planning activity. Compatibility is ensured with the state information system for urban-planning activity, the federal state information system for territorial planning and other information systems used for territorial management.

6.9.2 Compatibility with the indicator system

The structure and format of the source data make it possible to calculate the sustainable development indicators (in accordance with Annex B), the standardized indicators of GOST R ISO 37120 [6] and, where the reference crosswalk is used, the indicators of GOST R ISO 37122 and GOST R ISO 37123. For an indicator, at least the current value, the unit of measurement, the data source, the date of updating and the reference to the territorial unit are recorded.

6.9.3 Updatability and versioning of the baseline

For each kind of data the date of recording and the recommended periodicity of updating are established. The storage format makes it possible to track changes over time and to keep versions of the baseline. After the documentation is approved, the information system continues to update the baseline on the basis of the results of monitoring.

6.9.4 Openness and machine readability

Source data, to the extent that this does not contradict the legislation on the protection of information, are made accessible to interested parties. Information on the investment readiness of objects is made accessible in open information resources (4.4.5, 4.5.10). The results of this Clause are presented as structured data in a machine-readable form.

The digital catalogue of investment proposals and the platform for the placement of passports belong to open data and do not replace the information system (11.6).

7 Analysis and identification of the problem field

This Clause establishes requirements for the analysis of the territory and the identification of problem fields. The preliminary system of objectives (Clause 5) and the source data (Clause 6) are used. Result: an evidence base for the refinement of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis, for the vision (Clause 8) and for the project solution (Clause 9). Assessment of effects on the subject of protection and the additional impact assessment — 7.12.

The analysis is performed after Clause 6 and before the refinement of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis. The Clause does not reproduce the task in 5.8. The depth of the analysis is determined by 5.1.6.

7.1 General requirements for analysis and identification of the problem field

7.1.1 Purpose and tasks of the analysis

The purpose of the analysis is to identify the current state of the territory and the causes of adverse states, and to form an evidence base for the refinement of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis, for the vision of territorial development (Clause 8) and for the project solution (Clause 9). The analysis ensures the implementation of the principles of Clause 4 and uses the source data of Clause 6.

7.1.2 Comprehensiveness and directions of the analysis

The analysis is performed along the four interrelated directions of Clause 4. Heritage is not singled out as an optional Annex to the general analysis (4.1.2). The analysis shall not be performed along individual directions in isolation.

The types of analysis in 7.2–7.8 correspond to the subclauses of the source data of Clause 6 and are mutually coordinated within the stated directions. The actual model of the functioning of the territory does not coincide with the sectoral division and is cross-sectoral in character (4.5.2, 4.5.5).

7.1.3 Two levels of diagnosis

In the analysis, the level of identification of the state and the level of identification of the causes of the state are distinguished. The analysis shall be focused on the identification of causes, and not only on description. Refinement of the diagnosis is carried out by collecting data at a level below that of the primary diagnosis.

7.1.4 Participation of interested parties in the analysis

Interested parties are involved in the processes of analysis and assessment (4.2.4). Formats of participation — from consultations to joint mapping of values and problems. The results of participation are part of the evidence base for the quality of decisions.

A territorial assessment with the participation of interested parties precedes the refinement of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis. The preliminary system of objectives has already been fixed and is not deferred until the analysis is completed.

7.1.5 Basis in factual data

The analysis is performed on the basis of the source data of Clause 6 (4.5.6). Where data cannot be obtained, gaps and expert assumptions are recorded, with an indication of the source and the degree of reliability. Decisions taken on the basis of incomplete data shall be accompanied by an assessment of the risks associated with incompleteness of the information (5.8.3).

7.1.6 Diagnostic recording of the baseline

The baseline of the current state is formed by the collection of source data (6.1.2). The results of the analysis record the diagnostic component of the baseline: identified states, causes, hypotheses and forecast trajectories. The diagnostic component is linked to the system of indicators of sustainable development (in accordance with Annex B) and is used in monitoring.

7.1.7 Requirements for documenting the results

Results of the analysis that permit spatial localization are linked to a single spatial model of the territory. For each type of analysis, the methods applied, the assumptions and limitations, and the degree of reliability of the conclusions are recorded. The format of documentation shall enable the results to be used for modelling territorial and sectoral problem fields (4.1.3, 6.9).

7.2 Socio-cultural analysis and consideration of identity

The analysis in this subclause ensures the implementation of principles 4.2.1–4.2.3 and the refinement of objectives 5.2 and 5.4.2.1, and is a continuation of the data of 6.4. The identification of parties carried out at the preliminary setting of objectives (5.2) is not repeated: this subclause analyses and refines the data for the refinement of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis.

7.2.1 Analysis of interested parties

On the basis of the refinement of data on interested parties (6.4.3), an analysis is performed of interests, the degree of influence, intentions and potential conflicts of interest between groups. Where a matrix of "interests – influence – intentions" (5.2.4) exists, it is refined. The key groups capable of exerting the greatest effect on the achievement of the objectives of sustainable development are identified.

7.2.2 Identification of cultural customs, practices and values

Cultural customs, practices and values of interested parties are identified. The values of residents are mapped at the level of the person for subsequent alignment with the values of the city and the region (4.2.3, 5.4.2). Areas of coincidence and of divergence of the values of different groups of interested parties are identified.

7.2.3 Analysis of identity and sense of belonging

The connectedness of people with culture and the territory is assessed. Identity is analysed as a factor influencing entrepreneurial activity, the cohesion of communities and the readiness of residents for the joint transformation of the environment (4.2.3). Residents' perception of the authenticity of the historic environment is assessed.

7.2.4 Assessment of social cohesion and readiness for changes

The readiness of the population to accept and to participate in socio-economic and spatial changes is analysed. The cohesion of communities is assessed as a condition for the effective transformation of the environment. Transformation of the environment is a complex process and is carried out more effectively by associations or groups of residents (4.2.3).

7.2.5 Assessment of the competence of interested parties

The level of awareness and competence of interested parties in the field of sustainable development and the preservation of heritage is analysed. Needs for the development of competence are identified. It is assessed whether a competent community capable of determining the development of the environment is being formed (4.2.1, 5.2.3).

7.3 Analysis of historical and cultural heritage and its potential

The analysis in this subclause ensures the implementation of principles 4.3.1–4.3.12 and 4.4.1 and of objectives 5.4.4, and uses the data of 6.2 and 6.5.2. The analysis of historical and cultural heritage is performed before the assessment under 7.12 and forms the source data for it.

7.3.1 Analysis of the attributes of historical and cultural value

An analysis is performed of the elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement by its positions and of the attributes of historical and cultural value, on the basis of the data of 6.2.3. For each element and attribute, the state and the vulnerability are assessed. Interrelations between the layers are determined. Management of sustainable development shall take into account all layers in their interaction (4.3.4). Intangible heritage is analysed under 7.3.3.

7.3.2 Assessment of authenticity and integrity

An analysis of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment is performed according to the parameters of 6.2.4. Authenticity is regarded as a factor of the sustainability and of the demand for the urban environment (4.3.2). The results of the assessment are a mandatory part of the baseline.

7.3.3 Analysis of intangible heritage

The state, the degree of preservation and the potential for use of intangible heritage are assessed (data of 6.2.5, 4.3.5). Links with tangible objects and territories and the spatial conditions for the transmission of practices are analysed. Intangible heritage is assessed as a potential for the harmonious development of the person, the environment and the economy and as a basis for the positioning of the territory (4.4.3).

7.3.4 Analysis of zones of possible regeneration

The possibility and the advisability of regeneration of lost or degraded elements of the historic environment are assessed (data of 6.2.6). The potential for regeneration is determined taking into account the subject of protection of the historic settlement (4.3.12, 5.4.4, item d). The necessity and the possibility of updating the restrictions according to the conditions of protection of cultural heritage objects are analysed.

7.3.5 Analysis of the socio-economic value of heritage

The contribution of cultural heritage to the economy and the social life of the territory is identified and assessed (data of 6.5.2). Logical chains of the transfer of historical and cultural potential into urban-planning and socio-economic processes are formed (4.4.1). The assessment is performed according to the structure of the argumentation of the proven contribution of heritage: positioning and branding of the territory, social value and development of human capital, economic value, formation of a comfortable urban environment, strengthening of the potential of heritage.

7.3.6 Analysis of the completeness of registration documentation and of investment readiness

The completeness of the registration documentation of cultural heritage objects is assessed: subjects of protection, protection obligations, acts of technical condition, data of cadastral registration, information on encumbrances (data of 6.2.7). The investment readiness of objects and territories is assessed. Gaps in the documentation that impede the involvement of cultural heritage objects in economic circulation are identified. The completeness of the registration documentation is regarded as a mandatory condition for the formation of investment passports (4.4.5, 5.4.4, item c).

7.3.7 Assessment of the degree of formalization of the status of the historic settlement

The presence or absence of approved boundaries of the historic settlement, of an approved subject of protection and of established requirements for urban-planning regulations is analysed (data of 6.2.2). The depth and the specific features of the subsequent refinement of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis depend on the degree of formalization. Where formalization is insufficient, specific gaps are recorded so that filling them is included among the priority objectives (5.1.2).

7.4 Spatial analysis

The analysis in this subclause ensures the implementation of principles 4.5.2, 4.3.4 and 4.3.6 and of objectives 5.4.3, item b), and uses the data of 6.3.

7.4.1 Analysis of the planning structure

The degree of preservation of the historic planning structure is assessed according to the composition in 6.3.2, including the intra-block structure and the parcellation. Areas of disruption of the historic planning structure are identified. The ratio of preserved and disrupted elements is analysed.

7.4.2 Landscape and visual analysis

View openings, panoramas, visual corridors and their state are analysed. Sectors of visual perception of cultural heritage objects are determined. Conformity to the continuity of development of the compositional and spatial structure of the territory is analysed. Silhouette characteristics, landscape dominants and landmarks are assessed. All landscapes of the territory of the historic settlement are assessed, including everyday landscapes and those in need of recovery (data of 6.3.3, 4.2.2). Where a protection-zone design of cultural heritage objects exists, its landscape and visual materials are used (GOST R 59124–2020). This clause establishes the composition of the analysis of the historic settlement independently and does not transfer to it the methodology of the protection-zone design.

7.4.3 Morphological analysis of the development

Morphotypes of the development, the typology of buildings and structures, the number of storeys, density, materials, structural systems, and stylistic and compositional features are analysed. The historic typology of the development and its adaptive development are analysed. Dissonant objects and elements that disrupt the integrity of the historic environment are identified (data of 6.3.4).

7.4.4 Analysis of engineering and transport infrastructure

The state, the capacities and the degree of wear of networks and facilities of engineering services are assessed. Transport infrastructure and pedestrian and bicycle accessibility are assessed. Infrastructure constraints on the development of the territory are identified. The provision of social infrastructure facilities (education, healthcare, culture, sport and recreation) relative to the standards is assessed (data of 6.3.5). The state of the infrastructure is regarded as a determining factor in the abandonment of territories and objects (data of 6.3.5, 4.1.4).

7.4.5 Analysis of land use and functional zoning

The functional use of territories and objects is assessed. The ratio of residential, public and business, industrial, recreational and other functions is analysed. Vacant, underused and conflicting territories are identified (data of 6.3.6).

7.4.6 Analysis of conformity to the constraints on development of the territory

The conformity of the current state of the territory to the regimes and requirements of the protection zones of cultural heritage objects, to the urban-planning regulations within the boundaries of the historic settlement, and to the subject of protection of the historic settlement is analysed. Cases of non-conformity and of the layering of restrictions are identified (data of 6.7.3, 4.3.8, 4.5.4).

7.5 Socio-economic analysis

The analysis in this subclause ensures the implementation of principles 4.4.7 and 4.4.1, of objectives 5.4.3, item a), and of direction 5.4.5, item g), and uses the data of 6.5, 6.4.5 and 6.4.6.

7.5.1 Analysis of the economic viability of the territory

The macroeconomic indicators of the territory are assessed: employment and unemployment, the structure of the economy by sector, the volume and dynamics of investment, the incomes of the population. Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship is assessed. A comparative analysis with similar territories and with the average values for the region is performed (data of 6.5.1).

7.5.2 Analysis of the investment environment

The investment climate of the territory is assessed. The conditions for attracting private investment into the preservation and development of historic objects and territories are analysed. A retrospective analysis of expenditure by direction is performed as a tool for verifying the realism of the envisaged project solutions: if the cost of the proposed measures exceeds actual outlays over recent years by several times or by an order of magnitude, and there is no answer as to the sources of financing, the sustainability of the project solutions is called into question (data of 6.5.3, 4.4.7).

7.5.3 Analysis of tourism potential and load

Tourist flows are assessed: volume, seasonality, structure, dynamics. Tourism infrastructure, the load on the territory (4.3.11; in accordance with Annex B, B.2.1.6, B.2.2.2) and the impact of tourism on the historic environment and the local community are assessed (data of 6.5.4). Data on tourism are not the only dimension of the value of heritage.

7.5.4 Analysis of quality of life and satisfaction

Residents' perception of the quality of the living environment, of comfort, of safety and of the accessibility of services and facilities is assessed. Residents' satisfaction with the activity of the governing bodies is analysed. The proven effectiveness of existing programmes for solving the everyday problems of residents is assessed (data of 6.4.5).

The limits of the load on the territory are taken into account (5.3.3). Separate mandatory climatic requirements are not established by this subclause.

7.6.1 Analysis of the state of the natural landscape and ecosystems

Natural areas, specially protected natural areas, the blue-green framework, including green plantings of common use, are assessed. The biodiversity and the ecological sustainability of the territory are assessed. The analysis is performed for all landscapes of the territory of the historic settlement, including everyday landscapes and those in need of recovery (data of 6.6.1, 4.2.2).

7.6.2 Analysis of the quality of the environment

The quality of atmospheric air, water bodies and soils, and the level of noise, insolation and aeration, are assessed. Sources of adverse impact on the environment are identified (data of 6.6.2).

7.6.3 Analysis of climatic parameters as a factor in the state of the historic environment

The main climatic parameters of the territory as a factor in the state of the historic environment, and the identified impact of climatic factors on cultural heritage objects and the historic environment, are analysed (data of 6.6.3). This clause does not establish a separate mandatory assessment of climatic risks.

7.6.4 Analysis of resource consumption

Energy consumption, water consumption and waste management in the territory are assessed. The potential for optimization of resource consumption is identified (data of 6.6.4).

7.7 Analysis of the regulatory and legal framework and the management system

The analysis in this subclause ensures the implementation of principles 4.3.8, 4.5.4 and 4.5.5 and of the zones of authority (5.3.2), and uses the data of 6.7.

7.7.1 Analysis of the completeness and consistency of the regulatory and legal framework

Gaps, conflicts and layering of restrictions in the regulatory and legal regulation of the territory are identified. The completeness and currency of the established protection regimes of cultural heritage objects are assessed. The coordination of the requirements of the legislation on cultural heritage objects and of urban-planning legislation is analyzed (data of 6.7.1, 6.7.3).

7.7.2 Analysis of the consistency of strategic planning documents

The consistency of the objectives of existing socio-economic development strategies, of the master plan (if any), of the territorial planning documents of the Russian Federation and of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, of state and municipal programs and of national projects, among themselves and with the sustainable development objectives, is assessed. Contradictions and gaps in the strategic planning system are identified (data of 6.7.2, 5.5.3).

7.7.3 Analysis of the management system

An analysis is carried out of the existing organizational structures, coordination mechanisms and procedures for cross-sector interaction; of the available competence and resources; of the zones of direct management, zones of influence and zones of the external context (data of 6.7.4, 5.3.2). This clause does not establish a maturity scale of the management system.

7.8 Analysis of trends and external factors

The analysis in this subclause ensures the implementation of principles 4.5.2, 4.5.3 and 5.7 and uses the data of 6.8.

7.8.1 Analysis of technological trends

Forecast technological changes capable of affecting the development of the territory and the functioning of its systems are assessed: new mobility models, a change in the structure of the transport fleet, unmanned technologies, and digitalization of urban processes. The time horizons for realization of the trends are assessed (data of 6.8.1, 4.5.3).

7.8.2 Analysis of social and demographic trends

Identified and forecast changes in the population structure, way of life, models of consumption and behavior, and employment structure are assessed. Trends capable of affecting the sustainability of project solutions are identified: urbanization and suburbanization, changes in preferences for the living environment (data of 6.8.2).

7.8.3 Analysis of economic trends

Sectoral and regional economic trends; changes in the structure of the economy, markets and the investment environment; and trends in the development of tourism and the creative industries are assessed (data of 6.8.3).

7.8.4 Comparative analysis with similar territories

A comparative analysis with similar historic settlements and territories is carried out using the standardized indicators of GOST R ISO 37120 [6]; where necessary, an informative correlation with the indicators of GOST R ISO 37122 and GOST R ISO 37123 is used (in accordance with Annex B, B.3.5.2). Best practices in the preservation and sustainable development of historic settlements and data on projects implemented in similar territories are analyzed (data of 6.8.4).

7.9 Inertial forecast

The inertial forecast ensures the implementation of principle 4.5.2 and uses the results of the analysis in 7.2–7.8.

7.9.1 Methodology and forecast horizons

The forecast of potential states of the territory is carried out without taking into account the effects of implementing sustainable development measures. The time horizons of the forecast are determined: short-term — up to and including 3 years, medium-term — more than 3 years and up to and including 6 years, long-term — more than 6 years, in accordance with 5.5.1, item d). In mode A, the inertial forecast covers a period no shorter than the period of the master plan.

7.9.2 Forecast by areas of sustainable development

The inertial forecast is carried out for the four areas of Clause 4: people and community; environment and heritage; heritage economy; management. For each area, the forecast indicators and the probable development scenarios, if current trends continue, are determined.

7.9.3 Forecast of the state of historical and cultural heritage

A forecast is carried out of the change in the state of elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement and of the attributes of the value of historic territories in the absence of intervention. A forecast is carried out of the dynamics of change in authenticity and integrity and of the dynamics of threats and vulnerabilities of cultural heritage objects and of the historic environment.

7.9.4 Taking identified trends into account in the forecast

The results of the trend analysis (7.8) are integrated into the inertial forecast. The response of territorial and sectoral systems to new trends is modeled. The planning system shall ensure modeling of the response of territorial and sectoral systems to new trends (4.5.3).

7.10 Identification of the causes of negative states and advancement of hypotheses

7.10.1 Methodology for identifying causes

A transition is made from the level of identifying the state to the level of identifying the causes of the state. The diagnosis is refined by collecting information at one level below that of the primary diagnosis. Cause-and-effect links are established between negative states in the various areas of analysis (7.2–7.8). One of the main results of the comprehensive assessment is the advancement of hypotheses explaining the causes of negative states (4.5.2).

7.10.2 Formulation of hypotheses

Hypotheses explaining the causes of negative states of the territory are formulated. Hypotheses are formulated as verifiable statements, with an indication of the data and the verification criteria. For each hypothesis, the data necessary for its confirmation or refutation are determined.

7.10.3 Cross-sector character of the causes

Cross-sector causes of negative states are identified. The actual model of the functioning of the territory does not coincide with the sectoral division and has a cross-sector character (4.5.5). It is analyzed how negative states in one area give rise to problems in others. When urban tasks and processes are decomposed into components, the cultural aspect is integrated into each element of the functional urban model.

7.11 Integrated analysis

The integrated analysis ensures synthesis of the results obtained for the individual areas (7.2–7.10).

7.11.1 Cross-analysis of the areas

Interrelationships, synergies and conflicts between the results of the analysis in the various areas (7.2–7.8) are identified. The results are correlated with the areas of iterative analysis (5.4.5). Priority intersections are determined, taking into account the specific nature of the heritage.

7.11.2 SWOT analysis of the territory

Strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats are systematized on the basis of the results of the comprehensive analysis. The key problem fields of the territory are singled out. The SWOT analysis is carried out taking into account all areas of sustainable development and the specific nature of the historical and cultural heritage.

7.11.3 Analysis of risks and opportunities

Risks to sustainable development and to the preservation of heritage are identified, including risks of emergencies, fire risks and climate risks to cultural heritage objects and to elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement. Opportunities arising from the results of the analysis are assessed. The scale and severity, temporal duration, reversibility or irreversibility, cumulativeness, secondary character and synergistic character of the impacts are assessed. The identified risks are linked to the tasks of ensuring safety included in planning documents.

7.12 Assessment of effects on the subject of protection and additional impact assessment

This subclause establishes the assessment of effects on the subject of protection of the historic settlement and the additional cultural heritage impact assessment (3.3.4). Implementation of principles 4.3.6–4.3.9 and 4.3.11 is ensured. The results of the analysis in 7.3 are used. The assessment is carried out before the vision, the target scenario and the measures of the project solution are fixed; application when selecting the scenario and the measures — 8.5.4 and 9.4.6. At the stages of implementation and monitoring the assessment is carried out iteratively (10.5.2, 11.7.4, 12.4.3).

The assessment does not replace and does not substitute for the state historical and cultural expert review conducted in accordance with Federal Law No. 73-FZ of 25 June 2002 "On cultural heritage objects (monuments of history and culture) of the peoples of the Russian Federation" [1] and Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 530 of 25 April 2024 [4]. The assessment is not a condition for the issue of a construction permit. International guidelines on heritage impact assessment are taken into account to the extent that they do not contradict the legislation of the Russian Federation, and are not a mandatory methodology of this standard.

7.12.1 Assessment of effects on the subject of protection

The assessment of effects on elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement is carried out on the basis of the results of the analysis in 7.3 before the vision of territorial development, the target scenario and the measures of the project solution are fixed.

The effect includes destruction of an element, its distortion and the severance of compositional and planning links. An indirect effect does not fall within this clause and is assessed under 7.12.2.

The conclusion of the assessment: compatible or incompatible with the subject of protection of the historic settlement. An incompatible solution is not accepted as a target solution: the customer of the documentation, jointly with the developer, records its exclusion or reworking (8.5.4, 9.1.3, 9.4.6). The option in which no impact is exerted is considered. Compensation is not applied in respect of elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement (4.3.6).

The assessment is not required for routine maintenance and repair that do not affect elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement.

7.12.2 Additional cultural heritage impact assessment

The cultural heritage impact assessment (3.3.4) is carried out in addition to 7.12.1 and does not repeat the check of elements of the subject of protection.

The subject of the assessment is the indirect effect on the subject of protection of the historic settlement and on the historic environment in a broader sense. A change in social, economic, environmental and urban-planning conditions that may lead to degradation of the subject of protection or of the historic environment is assessed, including through the load on the territory, displacement of residents, a tourism mono-function, loss of maintenance and care, and environmental deterioration of the surroundings (4.3.9, 4.3.11, 4.2.2). The absence of direct intervention in an element of the subject of protection does not exhaust the assessment under this clause.

The assessment is carried out if a scenario or a measure changes the said conditions. The assessment is not required for routine maintenance and repair without a change in the said conditions.

The conclusion is recorded in qualitative form: the effect is absent, limited or significant. A significant indirect effect leading to degradation of the subject of protection or of the historic environment requires application of the mitigation hierarchy (4.3.6) or reworking of the solution before it is fixed. Mitigation measures are included in the implementation plan (Clause 10). This clause does not establish a second screening in place of 7.12.1 and does not substitute for the state historical and cultural expert review (4.3.6).

7.12.3 Assessment in mode A

In mode A, the assessment under 7.12.1 and 7.12.2 is conducted for each priority project and object located in the territory of the historic settlement or affecting the subject of protection of the historic settlement, and also for changes to functional zones in that territory.

The assessment is completed before the draft master plan is submitted for public discussions or public hearings (5.1.7, item d). The results of the assessment are included in the substantiation of the master plan decisions.

The assessment is also conducted when any changes affecting the historic settlement are introduced into the master plan, including changes for which public discussions or public hearings are not held, and changes in connection with the comprehensive development of the territory (5.1.7, item i).

7.13 Determination of the significance of sustainability tasks and prioritization of problem fields

7.13.1 Criteria for determining significance

When determining the significance of sustainable development tasks and selecting priority problem fields, the criteria of 5.5.2 are applied.

7.13.2 Prioritization of the identified problem fields

The identified problem fields are ranked taking into account the results of the cross-analysis (7.11) and the assessment under 7.12. Where other conditions are equal, priority is given to problem fields with irreversible consequences and to threats to historical and cultural value. When assessing options, cultural value is taken into account on a par with financial value (4.3.3).

7.13.3 Formation of the evidence base

The results of the analysis and of the prioritization are documented as an evidence base for refining the objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis, for forming the vision (Clause 8) and the project solution (Clause 9). Traceability from the identified problem fields to the principles (Clause 4), the objectives (Clause 5) and the data (Clause 6) is ensured. The results of the prioritization are transmitted to interested parties and are updated when conditions change.

7.13.4 Confirmation of the depth of development of Clauses 6 and 7

On the basis of the results of the prioritization, the step of the second stage of determining the depth of development of the documentation is carried out (5.1.6, item a). The initial depth of development of Clauses 6 and 7 is either confirmed or expanded. Expansion is carried out if irreversible threats to historical and cultural value have been identified. The customer of the documentation, jointly with the developer, takes the decision and draws it up as an addendum to the assignment under 5.8, indicating the grounds. The results of the prioritization are taken into account when selecting the measures of the project solution and at step 9.4.7.

8 Vision of territorial development

This Clause establishes requirements for the formation of the vision of territorial development. The objectives refined on the basis of the results of the analysis (Clause 5), the data (Clause 6), the evidence base (Clause 7) and the preliminary vision (5.6) are used. Result: the complete vision, the target scenario and the target states — the input data for the project solution (Clause 9).

The Clause does not replace the system of objectives of Clause 5, does not reproduce the composition of the data of Clause 6 and the methodology of 7.12, and does not form the project solution.

8.1 General requirements for the vision

8.1.1 Objective of the vision

The objective of the vision is to describe, as an alternative to the inertial scenario, the prospective state of the socio-economic and spatial development of the territory in which the objectives of sustainable development are implemented through balanced development, taking into account the preservation and active use of the historical and cultural potential (4.1.1; 3.3.5). The vision links the objectives refined on the basis of the results of the analysis, the values of residents, the mission of the historic settlement and its role in the region.

8.1.2 Place in the documentation cycle

The preliminary system of objectives and the objectives refined on the basis of the results of the analysis are not reopened. The preliminary vision in 5.6 is refined and is not replaced by an arbitrary new image unrelated to the objectives and the analysis.

8.1.3 Directions of sustainable development

The vision is formed along the four interrelated directions of Clause 4. Heritage is not singled out as an optional supplement to the general image of the territory (4.1.2). The vision shall not be formed along individual directions in isolation.

8.1.4 Conditions and states

The vision describes the target conditions and states of the territory and does not prescribe specific activity (4.1.4).

8.1.5 Heritage as an independent vector and a factor of cultural readiness for change

In the vision, cultural heritage is positioned as an independent vector of development and a factor of cultural readiness for change (4.1.2); the taking of this role into account in the vision is established in 8.2.5.

8.1.6 Basis in analysis and realism

The vision shall be realistic and correlated with the resource capabilities of the territory (7.5.2, 7.5.6) and with the zones of authority (5.3.2). In the zone of direct management, the vision sets obligations. In the zone of influence — objectives of coordination, partnership and stimulation. In the zone of context — monitoring and adaptation, and not unsupported obligations.

Decisions taken on the basis of incomplete data are accompanied by an assessment of the risks associated with incompleteness of information (5.8.3).

8.1.7 Uniqueness of the image

The vision is based on the strengths and the distinctive features of the given territory identified by the integrated analysis and the SWOT analysis (7.11). A typical image of another settlement shall not be transferred without a justification of applicability.

8.2 Link of the vision with the objectives of sustainable development

8.2.1 Coverage of the three groups of objectives

The vision shall demonstrate a contribution to the three groups of objectives refined on the basis of the results of the analysis (5.4.2–5.4.4). The vision does not reproduce the system of objective-setting and does not replace the refinement of objectives on the basis of the results of the analysis. The requirements of this subclause specify what contribution of the image of the future shall be shown for each group.

8.2.2 Values and mission

The vision conveys the agreed values of three levels: resident — city (historic settlement) — region, and the mission of the historic settlement (5.4.2; 4.5.1). Elements of the vision that are not traceable to any value of the stated levels are not included in the prospective image without justification.

8.2.3 Check of completeness and balance

The completeness and balance of the vision are checked by iterative analysis (5.4.5) and by traceability to the principles of Clause 4 (5.4.6). Each element of the vision shall be traceable to the objectives (Clause 5), the principles (Clause 4) and the results of the analysis (Clause 7).

8.2.4 Filling gaps in coverage

If the vision concentrates on individual directions and does not address other groups of objectives in 5.4.2–5.4.4, this is a sign of the need for additional work with the community or for the introduction of elements of the vision based on an objective assessment of the risks and the state of the territory (5.4.2.5). If coverage is insufficient, the vision is supplemented.

8.2.5 Taking into account cultural readiness for change and the priority of the preservation of heritage

The vision takes into account the determining role of cultural heritage in forming the cultural readiness of people and territories for change (4.1.2).

Taking this role into account does not replace the block of objectives in 5.4.4 and does not turn the basic objectives of 5.4.3 into sectoral protection objectives. The basic objectives of 5.4.3 reflected in the vision are checked for this readiness and for compatibility with the priority of the preservation of heritage as a common good and a resource for development (4.1.2, 4.3.1).

8.3 Spatial aspects of the vision

8.3.1 Spatial levels

The vision is formed at several spatial levels: a quarter or a district; the historic settlement as a whole; a functional territory or an agglomeration (5.3.1). The role and positioning of the territory at the level of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a federal district and the country, and also of an agglomeration (if any), are taken into account.

8.3.2 Cascading

The vision shall provide for the possibility of cascading objectives and targets to various spatial levels through the spatial toolkit of the territorial model (4.5.1; 5.3.1). The level of detail of the prospective image increases from the upper level (region, agglomeration) to the lower level (quarter, object).

8.3.3 Functional links and subject-matter limits

When the spatial boundaries of the vision are determined, functional links with adjacent territories are taken into account: transport, economic, landscape, tourist and socio-cultural links (5.3.1). The system boundaries of the vision may extend beyond the established boundaries of the historic settlement if this is necessary in order to take those links into account. Obligations are not set in the zone of context (5.3.2).

The subject-matter limits of the vision cover the historic environment as a whole, and not individual cultural heritage objects (5.3.3; 4.3.4). The load on historic territories is taken into account under 4.3.11. A tourist monofunction is not accepted as the sole content of the prospective image.

8.3.4 Reality of the socio-economic model

The vision shall be compatible with the reality of the functioning of the socio-economic model of the territory within the selected boundaries and constraints, as confirmed when the objectives are refined on the basis of the results of the analysis (4.1.3; 5.3.3). If the model is not viable, the boundaries, the set of constraints or the elements of the vision are subject to revision, and not to the fixing of an unsupported image.

8.3.5 Spatial image

The vision includes the spatial image of the territory:

a) priorities of socio-economic and spatial development;

b) decisions on the planning structure;

c) foundations of the architectural and spatial composition;

d) key territories and points of transformation.

In mode A, the materials of the vision are included in the conceptual part of the master plan. In mode B, the materials of the vision are used as proposals for strategic planning documents and territorial planning documents. The requirements of this standard are not reduced thereby. Detailed alignment with territorial planning documents, land use and development rules and types of permitted use is carried out in Clauses 9–10.

8.4 Time horizons and target states

8.4.1 Planning horizons

The vision is tied to time horizons: short-term — up to and including 3 years; medium-term — over 3 years and up to and including 6 years; long-term — over 6 years (5.5.1, item d; 7.9.1). The medium-term horizon may be aligned with the electoral cycle. The time horizons of the vision shall be aligned with the horizons of the strategic planning documents in force (5.5.3).

8.4.2 Target states

For each horizon, the expected target states of the territory are described by the directions of Clause 4 and by the state of the heritage. Target states are formulated in terms of conditions and measurable characteristics linked to the system of sustainable development indicators (in accordance with Annex B; 4.5.7).

8.4.3 Target gap

The vision is formulated as a justified alternative to the inertial forecast (7.9) and shall clearly demonstrate the gap between the inertial and target states of the territory by the horizons of 8.4.1. The target gap is recorded in the vision documentation and is used in forming the project solution (Clause 9) and in monitoring (Clause 12).

8.5 Scenario analysis and the target scenario

8.5.1 Purpose

The scenario analysis of this subclause ensures the implementation of principle 4.5.2 and fulfills the requirement of 5.6. Scenarios of sustainable development of the territory are developed and analyzed, taking into account the variability of the priorities and problem fields identified. The target scenario is determined as the optimal approach to achieving the vision, alternative to the inertial scenario.

This subclause establishes scenarios of development of the territory (images of the future and paths to them). The system of measures and the scenarios for its implementation are established by Clause 9.

8.5.2 Composition of the scenarios

At least an inertial scenario and two alternative scenarios of development of the territory are formed. The scenarios take into account:

a) the variability of prioritized problem fields (7.13);

b) trends and external factors (7.8);

c) resource capabilities (7.5.2, 7.5.6);

d) strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats (7.11.2).

Each scenario describes a coherent trajectory of transition from the current state to the prospective image and shall clearly demonstrate the gap relative to the inertial forecast (7.9).

8.5.3 Comparison of scenarios

When scenarios are compared, the following are considered:

a) the contribution to the three groups of objectives in 5.4.2–5.4.4;

b) compatibility with the subject of protection of the historic settlement and with the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects (4.3.1, 4.3.8);

c) realism and resource sufficiency (7.5.2, 7.5.6);

d) the taking into account of technological and social trends (7.8; 4.5.3);

e) the results of the assessment of effects on the subject of protection and of the additional impact assessment (7.12);

f) parity of cultural and financial value (4.3.3);

g) the reversibility or irreversibility of impacts and the presence of aggregate, secondary or synergistic impacts (5.5.2).

8.5.4 Protection constraints when selecting a scenario

Before the target scenario is selected, an assessment of effects on the subject of protection of the historic settlement is carried out (7.12.1). A scenario incompatible with the subject of protection is not accepted as the target scenario: the customer of the documentation, together with the developer, records its exclusion or reworking in the justification of the selection.

An additional cultural heritage impact assessment is then carried out (7.12.2): the indirect effect on the subject of protection and on the historic environment in a broader sense. A significant indirect effect leading to degradation requires application of the mitigation hierarchy (4.3.6) or reworking before the target scenario is selected. Mitigation measures are recorded before the target scenario is selected. This clause does not replace the state historical and cultural expert review.

8.5.5 Selection of the target scenario

The target scenario is determined as the optimal approach to achieving the vision. The justification of the selection is documented, indicating the results of the comparison under 8.5.3, the results of discussion with interested parties (8.8) and the reasons for rejecting the alternatives. Rejected scenarios are retained in the documentation as reference material for a possible revision if conditions change (8.10).

NOTE — In mode A, the target scenario is the scenario adopted in the master plan as the base scenario, in respect of the territory of the historic settlement. The constraints of 8.5.4 apply to its selection.

8.6 Taking historical and cultural potential into account in the vision

8.6.1 Target state of the subject of protection of the historic settlement

The vision includes the target state of all positions of the subject of protection of the historic settlement according to the composition in 6.2.3. This clause sets the object of the vision, and not a repetition of the inventory. The vision shall not be limited to individual layers of the historic urban landscape without taking their interaction into account (4.3.4).

8.6.2 Authenticity and integrity

The vision describes the target quality of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment (4.3.2). Authenticity is considered as a factor of the sustainability and the demand for the urban environment and as a condition of attractiveness (5.4.3, item a).

8.6.3 Intangible heritage

The vision includes prospects for identifying, preserving and using intangible heritage as a potential for the harmonious development of the human being, the environment and the economy (4.3.5; 5.4.4, item e). The vision sets the spatial conditions for the transmission of practices: places, routes and public spaces of their living practice. Bearer communities participate in forming this element of the image (8.8).

8.6.4 Landscape quality objectives

The vision includes landscape quality objectives for all landscapes of the territory of the historic settlement, including everyday landscapes and landscapes in need of restoration (4.2.2; 5.4.4, item f). The cultural landscape is considered as the environment that forms the human being, identity and creative demand.

8.6.5 Quality of the architectural environment

The vision sets requirements for the quality of the architectural environment as a condition of the sustainable development of historic settlements (4.3.7). A high quality of architecture is considered as the basis for the capitalization of historic territories. Criteria for assessing the quality of interventions are established by Clauses 9–10.

8.6.6 Regeneration zones

The vision determines the prospective appearance of zones of possible regeneration of the historic environment, taking into account the identified regeneration potential, the subject of protection of the historic settlement and the objectives of 5.4.4, item d) (4.3.12; 7.3.4). Regeneration is directed at restoring the integrity of the historic environment, including ordinary historic development.

8.7 Positioning of heritage and socio-economic value

8.7.1 Composition of the positioning image

The vision includes the target state of positioning and of the socio-economic value of heritage (SEVH) (4.4.1; 5.4.4, item b). The image of the future includes:

a) positioning and branding of the territory;

b) social value and the development of human capital;

c) economic value;

d) formation of a comfortable urban environment;

e) strengthening of the potential of heritage.

The structure of the argumentation of 4.4.1 is not reproduced by this clause. The elements indicated are explicitly presented in the prospective image.

8.7.2 Trust, brand and integration into processes

The vision reflects the role of heritage as an institution of public trust (4.4.2). The vision includes the formation of a brand of the territory on the basis of historical experience, which may serve as an umbrella for local production (4.4.3). The vision provides for the integration of heritage into functional processes and the creative economy while ensuring its preservation (4.4.4).

8.7.3 Investment readiness and adaptive use

The vision includes the prospective level of investment readiness: a hierarchical system of investment passports, transparency of technical and economic parameters, and accessibility of information in open information resources (4.4.5; 5.4.4, item c). The vision describes the target state of the adaptation of cultural heritage objects for modern use and of the adaptive use of historic buildings, with minimal intervention in the authentic material fabric, while ensuring economic viability (4.4.4).

8.7.4 Image of the settlement and turnover of objects

The prospective image of the historic settlement is not replaced by a catalog of investment lots, by the number of investment passports, by the volume of extra-budgetary investment or by a scenario of tourist monofunction. The plan for the involvement of cultural heritage objects in economic turnover and object-based investment passports are used as input data for the analysis (6.5, 7.5) and do not replace the vision.

The involvement of objects in turnover provided for by the image of the future is checked under 5.4.4, item i). The digital catalog of investment proposals pertains to open data and does not replace the information system (11.6; 6.9.4).

8.8 Process of forming the vision and participation of interested parties

8.8.1 Composition of participants

The vision is formed with the participation of the groups of interested parties identified in 5.2.1.

8.8.2 Formats of participation

The formats of participation range from informing and consultations to the joint development of the prospective image of the territory (4.2.4; 5.2.5). Interested parties are involved in forming the strategic vision and in determining priority directions, taking into account the integration of local initiatives. The document shall not be prepared before residents are involved (4.2.1).

Bearer communities of intangible heritage participate in forming the spatial conditions for the transmission of practices (8.6.3).

8.8.3 Evidence base and verification

The results of the participation of interested parties are part of the evidence base of the quality of the vision. The results of the prioritization of problem fields (7.13.3) and the elements of the vision are verified with the target groups for conformity with their needs and expectations. The scenarios of 8.5 are presented to interested parties for discussion before the target scenario is selected.

8.8.4 Competences as a condition of participation

The development of the competence of the population, of investors and of municipal employees in the field of heritage and sustainable development is considered as a prerequisite for quality participation in forming the vision (5.2.3; 4.2.1).

8.8.5 Documentation of the process

The process of forming the vision is documented, with a record of the composition of the participants, the formats of interaction and the decisions taken.

8.9 Documentation and communication of the vision

8.9.1 Purpose of the documentation

The vision is documented in a form that ensures its use in forming the project solution (Clause 9), the implementation plan (Clause 10) and monitoring (Clause 12). The documentation shall be updated and made available for use by interested parties (4.5.10).

8.9.2 Public version

A public version of the vision is formed — an accessible account of the prospective appearance of the territory for the target groups.

This clause establishes general requirements for the public version for all stages of the documentation. The public version excludes narrowly specialized terminology and conveys the content in an understandable form. The existence of a public version does not mean that another version inaccessible to interested parties exists. The public version is updated as the corresponding document is updated and is used for the involvement of interested parties and for ensuring public support (4.5.10). Clauses 9–12 do not reproduce these requirements and establish only the specific features of their own stage.

8.9.3 Visualization

The vision is accompanied by visualization: a spatial model of the prospective appearance of the territory; visualizations of key points of growth and of transformations; interactive maps (where technical capability is available).

8.9.4 Traceability

Each element of the vision shall have a traceable link with the principles (Clause 4), the objectives (Clause 5), the results of the analysis (Clause 7) and the target scenario (8.5). Traceability is documented as part of the vision.

8.9.5 Structured results

The results of the Clause (the complete vision, the target scenario and the target states) are presented in the form of structured data in machine-readable form. The narrative text of the Clause does not replace the results indicated.

8.10 Adaptability of the vision

8.10.1 The vision as an element of a continual process

The vision is not a static document and is subject to dynamic updating (4.1.3).

8.10.2 Grounds for revision

The grounds for revision of the vision are the events specified in 5.7.2 for the revision of objectives.

8.10.3 Continuity

When the vision is revised, interested parties are involved again (8.8). Updating of the vision shall ensure continuity and shall not permit the loss of previously reached agreements, while adaptability to new conditions is maintained. The rejected scenarios of 8.5.5 may be returned to consideration if conditions change.

9 Project solution

This Clause translates the vision (Clause 8) into a system of measures, projects and organizational actions. The target scenario and the target states (Clause 8), the refined objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4), the causes and the prioritization (7.10, 7.13) and the constraints of the assessment under 7.12 are used. The result is the target scenario of measures, the list of measures and the regulation on the objects planned for placement — the source data of the implementation plan (Clause 10).

This Clause does not replace the objectives, the data, the analysis and the vision, and does not establish the calendar, those responsible or the budget cycle of Clause 10. The intensity of detail is determined by 5.1.6.

9.1 General requirements for the project solution

9.1.1 Purpose of the project solution

The purpose of the project solution is to translate the vision of territorial development (Clause 8) into a system of measures, projects and organizational actions that secure the achievement of the sustainable development objectives of the historic settlement. The project solution determines what, where, when and under what conditions shall be implemented in order to pass from the current state of the territory to the target state described in the vision.

The preliminary system of objectives, the objectives refined on the basis of the analysis results, and the target scenario of territorial development of 8.5 are not reopened. The inertial forecast (7.9) and the target gap (8.4.3) are used as the basis and are not recalculated by this Clause.

9.1.2 Conditions, rather than a prescription of activity

The measures of the project solution shall be aimed at creating favourable conditions for the development of the territory: infrastructural, legal, institutional and informational, and not only at a detailed prescription of the functional use of objects and of the conduct of business (4.1.4). The desolation of territories and objects is determined above all by unfavourable conditions, including the condition of the infrastructure, and not by the absence of proposals for their functional use.

9.1.3 Fields of sustainable development

The project solution is formed by the four interrelated fields of Clause 4 and shall demonstrate a contribution to the objectives refined on the basis of the analysis results (5.4.2–5.4.4) without reproducing the system of objective-setting. Cultural heritage is positioned under 4.1.2. Measures that are incompatible with the subject of protection of the historic settlement or with the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects are not included in the project solution: the client of the documentation, together with the developer, records the exclusion in the justification of the choice.

9.1.4 Cross-sector character

The measures of the project solution are formed taking into account that the real model of the functioning of the territory does not coincide with a sectoral division and is cross-sectoral in character (4.5.5). For each measure the operational roles of the interested departments are recorded. When urban tasks and processes are decomposed, the cultural aspect is integrated into each element of the functional urban model.

9.1.5 Traceability of measures

Each measure of the project solution shall have a traceable link with:

a) the sustainable development objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4);

b) the identified problem fields and their causes (7.10, 7.13);

c) the elements of the vision of territorial development (Clause 8);

d) the principles of sustainable development (Clause 4).

The measures are related to the fields of iterative analysis (5.4.5).

9.1.6 Linkage to monitoring indicators

Each measure of the project solution is linked to measurable indicators from the system of sustainable development indicators (in accordance with Annex B; 4.5.7). Indicators shall assess the effect of the measures on the required systems and states, and not only the degree of their implementation, and shall illustrate the cross-sectoral effect.

9.1.7 The project solution as an element of a continual process

The project solution is not a final static document and is regarded as an element of a continual process of modelling, adaptation and improvement (4.1.3). The format of the project solution shall provide for dynamic updating.

9.1.8 Basing on factual data

The project solution is formed on the basis of the evidence base formed from the results of the analysis (7.13.3; 4.5.6). Decisions taken on the basis of incomplete data are accompanied by an assessment of the risks associated with the incompleteness of the information (5.8.3).

9.2 Scenarios of measures

This subclause establishes the scenarios of measures for the implementation of the target scenario of territorial development (8.5). Scenarios of territorial development are not established by this subclause.

9.2.1 Formation of scenarios of measures

At least two alternative scenarios of measures are formed that secure the achievement of the vision according to the target scenario of territorial development selected in 8.5. Each scenario of measures describes an integral system of measures and of the conditions of the transition from the current state to the target states (8.4).

The scenarios of measures differ by:

a) the volume and intensity of the measures;

b) the composition of the resources and the sources of financing;

c) the sequence and the institutional path of implementation;

d) the degree of transformation of the territory while the same image of the future is preserved;

e) the distribution of measures by the horizons of 5.5.1, item d).

The scenarios of measures take into account the prioritization of problem fields (7.13), the trends (7.8) and the resource possibilities (7.5.2, 7.5.6). The target gap of 8.4.3 is not recalculated: the scenarios of measures show by what set of measures it is closed.

9.2.2 Criteria for comparing scenarios of measures

When scenarios of measures are compared, the following are considered:

a) the contribution to the three groups of objectives of 5.4.2–5.4.4;

b) compatibility with the subject of protection of the historic settlement and with the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects (4.3.1, 4.3.8);

c) realism and resource provision: a retrospective analysis of expenditure by fields, and a comparison of the planned costs with the actual budget expenditure of recent years (7.5.2); if the cost of the measures exceeds the actual expenditure many times over and there is no justification of the sources of financing, the sustainability of the scenario of measures is called into question;

d) the taking into account of technological and social trends (7.8; 4.5.3);

e) the results of the assessment of effects on the subject of protection and of the additional impact assessment (7.12);

f) parity of cultural and financial value: when options are assessed, the effect on authenticity, integrity and the social fabric is taken into account, and not only the financial indicators (4.3.3);

g) the reversibility or irreversibility of effects and the presence of cumulative, secondary or synergistic effects (5.5.2).

The choice of the scenario of measures rests on the assessment of effects on the subject of protection (7.12.1) and on the additional impact assessment (7.12.2). A scenario of measures that is incompatible with the subject of protection is not adopted as the target scenario: the client of the documentation, together with the developer, records the exclusion or the revision in the justification of the choice. The option in which the effect is not produced is taken into account.

9.2.3 Participation of interested parties in the choice of the scenario of measures

The scenarios of measures are presented to the interested parties (5.2.1) for discussion and verification. The formats of participation range from information and consultations to the joint development of decisions (4.2.4). The results of the discussion are part of the evidence base for the quality of the choice. The scenarios of measures are verified with the target groups for conformity with the vision (Clause 8) and with the needs of those groups.

The participation of parties in the formation of the vision and in the choice of the target scenario of territorial development is established in 8.8 and is not reproduced by this clause. The system of measures is verified at this stage.

9.2.4 Determination of the target scenario of measures

The target scenario of measures is determined as the optimal set of measures for achieving the vision according to the target scenario of territorial development (8.5). The justification of the choice is documented, with an indication of:

a) the results of the comparison under 9.2.2;

b) the results of the discussion with interested parties (9.2.3);

c) the reasons for rejecting the alternative scenarios of measures.

Rejected scenarios of measures are retained in the documentation as reference material for a possible review if the conditions change (9.14).

9.3 Typology and formation of measures

9.3.1 Typology of measures

The measures of the project solution are classified by the following types. The specific composition is determined by the specific character of the historic settlement.

a) Infrastructure projects — capital investment in the construction, reconstruction and modernization of facilities of transport, engineering and utility, and social infrastructure. In planning, the possibility of modernizing existing facilities is assessed as an alternative to the construction of new ones, taking into account the expenditure on subsequent maintenance. The condition of the infrastructure is regarded as the determining factor of the viability of the territory (4.1.4).

b) Investment projects — projects implemented by investors and aimed at the creation, modernization or reconstruction of real-estate objects for the purpose of making a profit or of achieving another useful effect, including projects for the development of historic objects and territories. For each investment project the description, an estimate of the volume of investment, the sources of financing, the need for infrastructure and the organizational measures necessary for implementation are determined.

c) Organizational measures — management actions aimed at creating the conditions for the implementation of the vision and not requiring capital investment: a change in the regulatory framework, the creation of institutions and support mechanisms, the formation of coordination structures, the development of regulations and standards. They include measures to complete the formalization of the status of the historic settlement where it is insufficient (5.1.2).

d) Measures for the preservation and integration of heritage — measures aimed at the implementation of the objectives of 5.4.4: restoration and conservation of cultural heritage objects, regeneration of the historic environment, adaptive use of historic buildings, building up of historical and cultural potential through advance studies, formation of investment passports, filling of gaps in the record documentation of cultural heritage objects (7.3.6), coordination of state protection and development (4.5.4).

e) Measures for the development of human capital — measures aimed at the development of the competence of the population, of investors and of the professional community in the field of sustainable development and the preservation of heritage (5.2.3; 4.2.1). Education and the development of human capital rest on the processes of heritage preservation. The formation of a competent community is regarded as the precondition for that community itself determining the development of the environment (4.2.1, 4.2.4). Sustainable development is realized, among other things, through the development of human capital, and not only through direct measures for the transformation of the territory (4.2.1).

f) Measures for the formation of the brand and the positioning of the territory — measures aimed at securing the demonstration of the contribution of cultural heritage to the development of territories and of human capital (4.4.1); the formation of the brand of the territory on the basis of the interpretation of historical experience, which may act as an umbrella for local production (4.4.3); the integration of heritage into functional processes and the creative economy (4.4.4).

g) Environmental measures — measures aimed at achieving landscape quality objectives for all landscapes of the territory of the historic settlement (4.2.2; 5.4.4, item f); an improvement in resource efficiency; the preservation and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services (5.4.3, item b, 5.4.3, item d). The climatic parameters of the territory are taken into account as a factor of the condition of the historic environment (7.6.3) without the introduction of separate mandatory climate requirements.

9.3.2 Cross-sector character of measures

When measures are formed, their cross-sector character is ensured, with the operational roles of the interested departments recorded (4.5.5). For each measure the principal person responsible, the co-implementers from related sectors and the coordination mechanism are determined. When urban tasks and processes are decomposed, the cultural aspect and the potentials of heritage are integrated into each element of the functional urban model. One measure may belong to several types of 9.3.1.

9.3.3 Requirements for the formulation of measures

Measures are formulated predominantly as the creation of conditions and the achievement of target states, and not as a detailed prescription of specific actions and of functional use (4.1.4). For each measure the following are indicated:

a) the name and the description;

b) the type of measure (9.3.1);

c) the link with the objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4), the problem fields (7.13) and the elements of the vision (Clause 8);

d) the expected effect and the monitoring indicators (in accordance with Annex B);

e) the time horizon: short-term — up to and including 3 years, medium-term — over 3 and up to and including 6 years, long-term — over 6 years (5.5.1, item d; 8.4.1);

f) the spatial reference;

g) the person responsible and the co-implementers;

h) the indicative cost and the sources of financing.

When measures are formed, forecast technological and social changes are taken into account (4.5.3).

9.4 Requirements for measures and the principles of selection and ranking

9.4.1 Requirements for measures

The measures of the project solution shall:

a) ensure the measurability of the expected effect through linkage to monitoring indicators (in accordance with Annex B);

b) be referenced to the time horizons (5.5.1, item d);

c) provide for an assessment of the reversibility or irreversibility of their effects;

d) be compatible with the subject of protection of the historic settlement and with the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects;

e) make it possible to cascade and translate them to different spatial levels: block, settlement, agglomeration — through the spatial instruments of the territorial model (4.5.1);

f) be implementable taking into account the resources and powers available (5.5.2).

9.4.2 Criteria for the selection of measures

In the selection of measures the criteria of 5.5.2 are applied, taking into account the additional requirements:

a) conformity with the spatial priorities of the documents of strategic planning (5.5.3);

b) orientation towards the achievement of targets;

c) orientation towards the removal of infrastructural constraints;

d) assistance in the implementation of adopted federal decisions;

e) implementability of the measures taking into account the resource possibilities of the territory.

For each measure the link with the tasks, the problems and the identified opportunities is explicitly related, with an indication of which measure will affect them and how.

9.4.3 Integral index for the ranking of measures

It is recommended that the ranking of measures be carried out on the basis of an integral index having the following components:

a) economic effectiveness — the multiplicative effect of implementation: the creation of jobs, an increase in tax receipts, an increase in the gross product of the territory, the attraction of extra-budgetary investment;

b) social significance — the effect on the reduction of the deficit of infrastructure facilities, an improvement in the accessibility of services, and the meeting of the needs of residents identified from the results of sociological studies;

c) resource provision — the availability of land plots, engineering and transport infrastructure and other resources required for implementation;

d) significance for the preservation and integration of heritage — the contribution of the measure to the preservation of the subject of protection, the building up of historical and cultural potential, and the integration of the socio-economic value of heritage into urban processes.

The values of the indicators within each component are brought into a comparable form using the method of normalization. Measures that make it possible to achieve the greatest effect at the smallest volume of costs are treated as priority measures.

9.4.4 Verification of the realism of measures

A retrospective analysis of expenditure by fields is a mandatory instrument for verifying the realism of the project solution (7.5.2). If the cost of the proposed measures exceeds the actual expenditure in the corresponding field over recent years by several times or by an order of magnitude, and there is no justification of the sources of financing, the sustainability of the measures is called into question.

When projects for the construction of new infrastructure facilities are considered, the possibility of modernizing existing facilities is assessed, taking into account the expenditure on subsequent maintenance. When the need for financing is determined, the cost of similar measures that have been implemented or are in the process of implementation is taken into account.

9.4.5 Verification with target groups

The results of the selection and prioritization of measures are verified with the target groups of interested parties for conformity with the vision of territorial development and with the needs of those groups (4.2.4). The results of the verification are documented as part of the evidence base for the quality of the project solution.

9.4.6 Assessment of the effect of measures on the subject of protection and the additional impact assessment

Before a selected measure is included in the project solution, the assessment of effects on the subject of protection of the historic settlement is carried out (7.12.1). A measure that is incompatible with the subject of protection is not included in the project solution: the client of the documentation, together with the developer, records its exclusion or revision in the justification of the choice (9.1.3).

The additional cultural heritage impact assessment is then carried out (7.12.2). A substantial indirect effect leading to the degradation of the subject of protection or of the historic environment requires the application of the mitigation hierarchy (4.3.6) or a revision before the measure is included in the project solution. Mitigation measures are recorded before the measure is included in the project solution. At the stages of implementation and monitoring the assessment is carried out iteratively (10.5.2, 11.7.4, 12.4.3). In mode A the assessment under this clause is carried out for the priority projects of the master plan (7.12.3).

9.4.7 Extension of the detail of Clauses 10–12 according to the composition of measures

The composition and scale of the selected measures are the basis of the step of the second stage of determining the depth of development of the documentation (5.1.6, item b). If the composition of the measures affects the subject of protection of the historic settlement, the detail of Clauses 10–12 is extended. A repeated full cycle of Clauses 5–12 is not carried out. A change in the depth of development is drawn up as a supplement to the assignment of 5.8.

9.5 Integration of heritage into the project solution

9.5.1 Adaptive use of historic buildings

The project solution includes measures for the adaptation of cultural heritage objects for modern use (3.1.17; Article 44 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]) and for the adaptive use of historic buildings that are not cultural heritage objects (3.2.6), with minimal intervention in the authentic material fabric, a functional content that secures economic viability, and integration into contemporary socio-economic processes (4.4.4). For each object or group of objects the permissible kinds of use are determined, taking into account the subject of protection, the technical condition and the investment attractiveness.

9.5.2 Regeneration of the historic environment

The project solution includes a system of measures for the regeneration of the historic environment on the basis of the results of the analysis of zones of possible regeneration (7.3.4; 4.3.12; 5.4.4, item d). For each zone of regeneration the following are determined:

a) detailed requirements for regeneration, taking into account the subject of protection;

b) the permissible parameters of new construction: height, density, scale, materials, silhouette, morphotype;

c) an analysis of the necessity and the possibility of updating the constraints under the conditions of protection of cultural heritage objects;

d) the expected effect of regeneration for the historic environment, the economy and the social life of the territory.

Regeneration is aimed at restoring the integrity of the historic environment, including the ordinary historic built fabric. A cluster of investment lots does not replace the regeneration of the historic environment.

9.5.3 Investment passports and lots

The project solution may provide for the formation of a hierarchical system of investment passports: from the level of a single cultural heritage object to the level of a historic district and of the historic settlement (4.4.5; 5.4.4, item c). An object investment passport is the lower level of the hierarchy and does not replace the passport of a historic territory or the preliminary selection of lots within the project solution.

An investment passport includes the technical and economic parameters of the object or the territory, the organizational and legal particulars, information on encumbrances, an estimate of the volume of investment and a description of the investment conditions. The completeness of the record documentation — an approved subject of protection, cadastral data, protection obligations, a technical condition report, information on encumbrances — is regarded as a mandatory condition of bringing cultural heritage objects into economic use. Transparency of the technical and economic parameters and the accessibility of information on the investment readiness of objects in open information resources are ensured.

The cluster of lots is joined to the layering of the historic urban landscape and to the subject of protection of the historic settlement, and not only to the sale of objects (4.3.4). Object indicators — the number of passports, the filling of the catalogue, the volume of extra-budgetary investment — do not replace the sustainable development indicators (in accordance with Annex B) and do not cancel the prohibition on reducing heritage to real estate or to tourism.

The bringing of objects into economic use is checked under 5.4.4, item i). The digital catalogue of investment proposals belongs to open data and does not replace the information system (11.6; 6.9.4). The plan for bringing cultural heritage objects into economic use is used as source data of the analysis (6.5, 7.5) and does not replace the project solution.

9.5.4 Coordination of state protection and development

The project solution includes measures to secure the coordination of the state protection of heritage and the development of the territory (4.5.4):

a) the separation of the powers to identify, determine and record value characteristics and to regulate;

b) measures to complete the formalization of the status of the historic settlement where it is insufficient: approval of the boundaries and of the subject of protection, development of requirements for urban-planning regulations (5.1.2);

c) measures to fill the gaps in the record documentation of cultural heritage objects identified in the analysis (7.3.6);

d) an analysis of the viability of the urban model functioning under the established constraints of the historic settlement.

The documentation of the historic settlement is not replaced by this Clause. Recommendations on the development of the documentation of the historic settlement in conjunction with the development and implementation of sustainable development documentation are given in Annex D.

9.5.5 Building up historical and cultural potential

The project solution includes measures for building up historical and cultural potential (4.3.10; 5.4.4, item a):

a) systematic advance studies to identify new attributes of historical and cultural value;

b) the identification, documentation and use of intangible heritage: practices, ways of life, crafts, traditions, the historical experience of the development of the territory — as a potential for the harmonious development of the person, the environment and the economy (4.3.5; 5.4.4, item e);

c) the creation of spatial conditions for the transmission of practices: places, routes and public spaces of occurrence; the participation of bearer communities; intangible heritage is not reduced exclusively to tourism and to other kinds of activity oriented towards the extraction of income;

d) the building up of the potential of heritage as an instrument for securing parity of the historical and cultural potential of the territory and of the potential of ordinary development projects on the territory.

9.5.6 Positioning of heritage and formation of the brand of the territory

The project solution includes measures for the integration of the socio-economic value of heritage into urban industries and functional processes while ensuring the preservation of heritage (4.4.1, 4.4.4; 5.4.4, item b). The measures cover:

a) the positioning and branding of the territory on the basis of the interpretation of historical experience; the brand of the territory may act as an umbrella for local production (4.4.3);

b) social value and the development of human capital;

c) economic value;

d) the formation of a comfortable urban environment;

e) the strengthening of the potential of heritage.

The structure of the argument of 4.4.1 is not reproduced by this clause. The elements indicated are explicitly presented in the project solution. The role of heritage as an institution of public trust is taken into account (4.4.2).

9.5.7 Quality of interventions in the historic environment

The project solution establishes requirements for the quality of any intervention in the historic environment as a multidimensional characteristic that includes the environmental, cultural, social and economic dimensions (4.3.7). The requirements include:

a) the quality of the architectural environment as a condition of sustainable development; high architectural quality is regarded as the basis for the capitalization of historic territories;

b) requirements for the design code and the rules of improvement of the public realm: silhouette, scale, materials and detailing of new development as an instrument for maintaining the visual and landscape characteristics (7.4.2);

c) requirements for the spatial-volumetric concept of the development of the territory;

d) conformity with the principles of recognized international charters and recommendations in the field of heritage protection;

e) requirements for the protection of the setting and the context of heritage, including visual openings, panoramas and spatial links (4.3.6).

It is recommended that the quality of interventions be checked against interrelated criteria of the quality of the built environment, covering governance, functionality, the environment, the economy, diversity, context, the identity of the place and aesthetic quality. The number and the wording of the criteria are not established by this standard: the final set is determined by the developer of the documentation, taking into account the specific character of the territory, and may be refined. The framework indicated is not the only one and does not replace the subject of protection, the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects or the assessment under 7.12.

9.6 Provisions on objects planned for placement

The provisions are formed on the basis of the outcomes of determining the target scenario of measures (9.2.4), of forming and selecting measures (9.3, 9.4) and of heritage integration (9.5). The provisions ensure implementation of the project solution in territorial planning documents. The spatial image of the vision (8.3.5) is not reproduced by this subclause.

The provisions contain proposals for territorial planning documents and for urban-planning zoning and do not approve the information, the composition and the standards the establishment of which is assigned by legislation on urban-planning activity to those documents. The proposals are taken into account when the relevant documents are prepared and updated in the manner established by the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation [3].

In mode A, the information in 9.6.1 and in 9.6.2, item a), is included in the provisions on territorial planning of the master plan; the schematic maps in 9.6.3 are included in the maps of the master plan. The protection layers (9.6.3, items b) and h)) are shown on the maps of the master plan or in its conceptual part. The proposals in 9.6.2, items b)–f), 9.6.4 and 9.6.5 are included in the implementation plan. In mode B, the information in this subclause constitutes proposals for the general plan or the master plan and for the land use and development rules.

9.6.1 Composition of the information

The provisions on objects planned for placement include:

a) information on the types, purposes and names of objects of regional and local significance planned for placement, including their main characteristics and location;

b) information on objects of federal significance, objects of regional significance and objects of local significance planned for placement, in accordance with the approved territorial planning documents;

c) a description of the characteristics that ensure achievement of the objectives of sustainable development.

The provisions include conclusions on the following areas: territories of development to be retained, reconstructed and planned; centers of business and leisure activity, priority public spaces; prospective directions of spatial development; parameters of the development of social infrastructure, engineering and utility infrastructure and transport infrastructure; conceptual proposals for improving the architectural appearance and enhancing the quality of the living environment.

9.6.2 Need to change urban-planning documentation

The provisions include:

a) information on the need to change the boundaries of settlements (inhabited localities);

b) information on the need to change functional zones;

c) information on the need to change territorial zones and urban-planning regulations, including urban-planning design standards;

d) information on the boundaries of territories in respect of which integrated development of the territory is provided for, including calculated indicators;

e) requirements for the architectural and urban appearance of capital construction objects;

f) information on the conformity of functional zones, territorial zones and types of permitted use of land plots.

When the boundaries of objects planned for placement are determined, the existing boundaries of functional and territorial zones are used where possible, in order to simplify subsequent adjustment of the general plan or the master plan and of the land use and development rules. The placement of objects shall be compatible with the subject of protection of the historic settlement (7.12.1); placement that strengthens the perception of the elements of the subject of protection should be used.

9.6.3 Schematic maps

Schematic maps of the territory with existing, planned and proposed objects are attached to the provisions, including:

a) schemes of the current use of the territory showing functional zones, including planned changes, specially protected natural areas, and objects of federal, regional and local significance;

b) a scheme of zones with special conditions for the use of territories, showing restrictions on the urban-planning development of the territory;

c) a schematic map of current investment projects and of investment projects planned for implementation, including those with infrastructure restrictions;

d) a schematic map of proposed investment projects aimed at realizing the potential of the territory and the target scenario of measures;

e) schemes of social infrastructure objects indicating transport accessibility zones;

f) transport schemes;

g) schemes of the engineering infrastructure of the territory;

h) a scheme of the protection zones of cultural heritage objects and of the boundaries of the historic settlement.

9.6.4 Requirements for architectural and urban appearance

The provisions include requirements for the architectural and urban appearance of capital construction objects on the territory of the historic settlement. Where necessary, sketches and visualizations of project solutions are attached. The spatial-volumetric concept for the development of the historic territory determines the degree of detail of the requirements for the silhouette, scale, materials and style of new development (9.5.7).

9.6.5 Requirements for improvement of the public realm and planting

The provisions include requirements for improvement of the public realm and planting of the territory of the historic settlement. The requirements ensure achievement of landscape quality objectives, including everyday landscapes and landscapes in need of recovery (4.2.2; 5.4.4, item f), and compatibility with the subject of protection, visual-landscape characteristics and the load on historic territories (4.3.11). The requirements of 9.5.7 are not reproduced by this clause.

9.7 Spatial model of the project solution

9.7.1 Linking of measures to spatial levels

Measures of the project solution are linked to spatial levels in accordance with 5.3.1: an urban block or a district; the historic settlement as a whole; a functional territory or an agglomeration. The level of detail of the measures increases from the upper level to the lower level. When the spatial linkage is determined, functional links with adjacent territories are taken into account: transport, economic, landscape, tourist and socio-cultural links (5.3.1). No obligations are set in the context zone (5.3.2).

9.7.2 Cascading of targets

Targets are transmitted to various types of architectural and planning formations through the spatial instruments of the territorial model (4.5.1). Mapping of the values of residents, and taking those values into account, are ensured. Modeling of the search for a balance in terms of values and objectives is carried out within the information system of the territory (4.1.3; 4.5.11).

9.7.3 Geoinformation referencing

Measures of the project solution that can be spatially localized are linked to a single spatial model of the territory built on a single electronic cartographic base (6.9.1). Compatibility with state information systems for urban-planning activity and with other information systems used for territorial management is ensured (6.9.1). The format of the spatial model makes it possible to model urban-planning decisions by volumes, types of investment and sources of financing (4.4.7).

Requirements for the information system for implementation management and for the territorial digital twin are established by Clause 11.

9.8 Financial and investment justification of the project solution

9.8.1 Estimation of the cost of measures

The amount of the costs of implementing the measures is established on the basis of aggregated construction price indicators brought to the current price level (4.4.7). In the absence of suitable aggregated indicators, data on the cost of similar measures that have a positive expert review conclusion may be used.

9.8.2 Determination of sources of financing

For each measure, the sources of financing are determined: funds of the federal, regional and local budgets; extra-budgetary investment; funds of development institutions; other sources. When the sources of financing are determined, the question of attracting extra-budgetary investment is elaborated. An assessment of the ratio of the volume of budgetary financing to extra-budgetary investment is ensured. The list of measures whose implementation is provided for from budgetary funds is formed on the basis of the forecast budget balance, including expenditure on the subsequent maintenance of the infrastructure objects to be created.

9.8.3 Correlation with budgetary capacity

The cost of the measures of the project solution is correlated with the actual budgetary capacity of the territory (7.5.6). Retrospective analysis of expenditure by area (9.4.4) serves as a tool for checking the realism of the financial model.

9.8.4 Optimization to the criteria of development institutions

The project solution considers the possibility of optimizing measures to the financing criteria of federal and regional development institutions. Compatibility of the format of the documentation with the requirements of the relevant programs and support mechanisms is ensured.

9.8.5 Formation of blocks of measures by the degree of confirmation of financing

Measures of the project solution are structured by blocks:

a) current and planned investment projects, as well as adopted federal decisions;

b) infrastructure projects proposed for implementation;

c) organizational measures necessary for the implementation of infrastructure and investment projects;

d) proposed investment projects aimed at realizing the potential of the territory and the target scenario of measures, but not yet confirmed;

e) infrastructure projects necessary for the implementation of the proposed investment projects;

f) organizational measures necessary for the implementation of the proposed investment projects.

For each measure, the volume of confirmed and of unconfirmed financing is indicated. The breakdown by stages, budget items and the calendar is established by Clause 10.

9.9 Pilot projects

9.9.1 Pilot projects as a method of tuning

The implementation of pilot projects is regarded as a method of checking and tuning project solutions for sustainable development before they are scaled to the entire territory of the historic settlement (4.5.8). Pilot projects make it possible to verify hypotheses about the causes of negative conditions (7.10), to trial organizational mechanisms, to assess the reaction of interested parties and to adjust approaches.

9.9.2 Criteria for selecting pilot territories and objects

When pilot territories or objects are selected, the following are taken into account:

a) the presence of the most acute or characteristic problem fields identified in the analysis (7.13);

b) the possibility of obtaining results in the short term;

c) the representativeness of the territory or object for subsequent scaling;

d) the presence of interested parties ready to participate in implementation;

e) a permissible scale of risks.

9.9.3 Feedback mechanism

On the basis of the results of the implementation of pilot projects, the following are ensured:

a) an assessment of the actual effects and their comparison with the expected effects;

b) documentation of the experience gained and of the lessons learned;

c) adjustment of the relevant measures of the project solution;

d) dissemination of successful practices.

The results of pilot projects are included in the evidence base for the subsequent updating of the project solution (9.14).

9.10 Consistency with territorial planning documents

9.10.1 Consistency with documents in force

The project solution ensures consistency with the master plan (if any), the general plan, the land use and development rules, territorial planning schemes, territory planning projects and other documents of territorial planning and urban-planning zoning (4.3.8, 4.5.4). In mode A, consistency is ensured by including the decisions of the sustainable development documentation in the master plan. Where contradictions are identified between the measures of the project solution and the documents in force, the actions necessary to eliminate them are determined. The results of the analysis of the regulatory and legal framework are used (7.7).

9.10.2 List of documents subject to updating

The project solution may include a list of documents of territorial planning, of urban-planning zoning, of documentation on the protection of cultural heritage objects and of other documents subject to development or updating for the implementation of sustainable development measures. The general plan is among the territorial planning documents. For each document, the content of the necessary changes, those responsible, the time limits, the basis and the procedure for development or updating are determined. The list includes proposals for amendments to the general plan and to the land use and development rules. In mode A, the list of documents subject to updating includes the land use and development rules and previously approved territory planning projects within the boundaries of the historic settlement whose decisions are incompatible with the subject of protection of the historic settlement. Conformity of functional zones, territorial zones and types of permitted use of land plots is ensured.

9.11 Participation of interested parties in forming the project solution

9.11.1 Involvement of interested parties

Interested parties are involved in forming and assessing the measures of the project solution (4.2.4). Groups of interested parties identified in accordance with 5.2.1 participate. The formats of participation range from informing and consultation to the joint elaboration of decisions on key areas of the territory. The results of participation are part of the evidence base for the quality of the project solution. Preparation of the document before residents are involved shall not be permitted (4.2.1).

9.11.2 Development of competence as a prerequisite for participation

The development of the competence of the population, investors and municipal employees in the field of sustainable development and heritage preservation is regarded as a prerequisite for effective participation in forming the project solution (5.2.3; 4.2.1). Measures of the project solution for the development of human capital (9.3.1, item e) are enabling for the other types of measures.

9.11.3 Integration of local initiatives

The project solution takes into account local initiatives of interested parties identified in the process of forming the vision (8.8) and of participation in the choice of the scenario of measures (9.2.3). Integration of local initiatives increases the implementability and stability of the project solution. The process of interaction is documented, with a record of the composition of the participants, the formats of interaction and the decisions taken.

Bearer communities of intangible heritage participate in forming measures that create spatial conditions for the transmission of practices (9.5.5).

9.12 Quality matrix of the project solution

9.12.1 Quality matrix by life-cycle stages

The project solution is accompanied by a quality matrix that defines quality indicators by the life-cycle stages of measures: planning, design, construction, operation (4.5.7; 4.3.7). The indicators include the preservation of the value characteristics of the heritage and of the historic environment, the accessibility of cultural heritage objects, the participation of communities, environmental indicators and social indicators. The quality matrix ensures control of the conformity of the measures being implemented with the principles and objectives of sustainable development at each stage.

The quality of interventions in the historic environment should be checked against the quality criteria for the built environment (9.5.7). Assessment under 7.12 is not replaced by the quality matrix (9.4.6).

9.13 Requirements for documenting the project solution

9.13.1 Composition of the documentation

The project solution is documented as comprising:

a) a justification of the choice of the target scenario of measures (9.2.4);

b) a list of measures with characteristics in accordance with 9.3.3;

c) the results of the selection and ranking of measures (9.4);

d) the provisions on objects planned for placement (9.6);

e) the spatial model (9.7);

f) the financial and investment justification (9.8);

g) the quality matrix (9.12).

The documentation provides the initial data for the implementation plan (Clause 10) and for monitoring (Clause 12). The documentation shall be updated and made available for use by interested parties (4.5.10). In mode A, the composition of the documentation is distributed among the parts of the master plan (5.1.4, Annex E).

9.13.2 Traceability

The documentation ensures full traceability: for each measure, the link "measure — objective (Clause 5) — problem field (7.13) — element of the vision (Clause 8) — principle (Clause 4)" is traced. The results of the assessment under 7.12 (9.4.6) and of verification with target groups (9.4.5) are documented.

9.13.3 Public version of the project solution

A public version of the project solution is formed — an accessible account of the proposed measures for the target groups (8.9.2). The public version is accompanied by visualization: schematic maps of the measures, visualizations of the key transformations, and interactive maps where technical capability exists.

9.13.4 Structured results

The results of the Clause that are included in its documentation (9.13.1) are presented in the form of structured data in machine-readable form (8.9.5).

9.14 Adaptability of the project solution

9.14.1 Mechanism of review and updating

The adaptability of the project solution is ensured by the mechanism for the review and updating of objectives under 5.7 (the PDCA cycle (Plan–Do–Check–Act), grounds for review). Updating presupposes not only the adjustment of existing measures, but also the development of new ones.

9.14.2 Grounds for review

The grounds for review of the project solution are the events specified in 5.7.2 for the review of objectives, as well as the results of the implementation of pilot projects (9.9.3), the results of the assessment under 7.12 that have revealed unforeseen consequences, and the review of the vision (8.10). In mode A, the project solution is reviewed when changes affecting the historic settlement are made to the master plan, with an assessment under 7.12.3.

9.14.3 Ensuring continuity

When the project solution is updated, continuity is ensured and the loss of previously achieved agreements, verified measures and the accumulated evidence base shall not be permitted, while adaptability to new conditions is maintained. When the project solution is reviewed, the renewed involvement of interested parties is ensured (9.11). Rejected scenarios of measures under 9.2.4 may be returned to consideration if conditions change.

10 Implementation plan

This Clause translates the project solution (Clause 9) into a system of actions with time frames, resources and those responsible. The result is used as the source data of the management system (Clause 11) and of monitoring (Clause 12).

This Clause does not select or rank the measures of Clause 9 and does not establish the management system of Clause 11. The intensity of detail is determined by 5.1.6.

10.1 General requirements for the implementation plan

10.1.1 Purpose of the implementation plan

The purpose of the implementation plan is to operationalize the project solution (Clause 9) into a system of specific actions that secure the transition from the current state of the territory to the target state described in the vision (Clause 8). The plan determines the sequence, the time frames, the resources and those responsible for each measure of the project solution.

The composition of the measures is inherited from Clause 9 and is not formed anew. The target scenario of measures of 9.2 is not reopened. The plan shall demonstrate a contribution to the objectives refined on the basis of the analysis results (5.4.2–5.4.4) without reproducing the system of objective-setting.

10.1.2 Composition and format of the plan

The implementation plan includes a list of measures. The fields of the name, the type, the link with the objectives, the expected effect, the spatial reference and the indicative cost are inherited from 9.3.3. For each measure the following are additionally indicated:

a) the responsible implementer and the co-implementers, including public and professional initiatives where they are appointed (10.4.1, 10.4.9);

b) the time frames of implementation and the stage of implementation (10.2.1);

c) the volume of confirmed and unconfirmed financing;

d) the mechanisms and sources of financing;

e) the monitoring indicators (in accordance with Annex B; 4.5.7);

f) assignment to the territory of the historic settlement or an effect on the subject of protection of the historic settlement.

In mode A, fields a), b), d) and e) provide the indicators of the achievement of objectives, the time frames, the sources of financing and the responsible implementers for the list of measures for the implementation of the master plan. The measures distinguished by field f) form the list of measures for the sustainable development of the territory of the historic settlement under subparagraph 2 of paragraph 3 of Article 60 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1].

10.1.3 Traceability of the measures of the plan

Each measure of the implementation plan shall have a traceable link with:

a) a measure of the project solution (Clause 9);

b) the sustainable development objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4);

c) the identified problem fields and their causes (7.10, 7.13);

d) the elements of the vision of territorial development (Clause 8);

e) the principles of sustainable development (Clause 4).

The chain of traceability is ensured: "measure of the plan — measure of the project solution — objective — problem field — principle". Traceability is documented within the implementation plan. The measures of the plan are related to the fields of iterative analysis (5.4.5).

10.1.4 Creating conditions, rather than prescribing activity

The measures of the implementation plan shall be aimed at creating favourable conditions for the development of the territory (4.1.4). Priority is given to measures for the removal of infrastructural constraints, the formation of institutional conditions and the development of competence.

10.1.5 Cross-sector character

The measures of the implementation plan inherit the cross-sector character of the measures of the project solution (9.3.2; 4.5.5). For each measure the established operational roles of the interested departments are retained. When the measures are decomposed into components, the cultural aspect and the potentials of heritage are integrated into each element of the functional urban model.

10.1.6 Basing on factual data

The implementation plan is formed on the basis of the evidence base of the analysis (7.13.3; 4.5.6), of the financial and investment justification of the project solution (9.8) and of the verification of the measures with the target groups (9.4.5). Decisions taken on the basis of incomplete data are accompanied by an assessment of the risks associated with the incompleteness of the information (5.8.3).

10.2 Staging and prioritization

Staging and prioritization secure the continuity of the process of sustainable development (4.1.3; 4.5.8). The results of the ranking of measures (9.4.3), of the financial and investment justification (9.8), of the pilot projects (9.9) and of reconciliation with the documents of strategic planning (5.5.3) are used.

10.2.1 Time horizons

The measures of the implementation plan are distributed over three time horizons: priority measures — up to and including 3 years; medium-term — over 3 and up to and including 6 years; long-term — over 6 years (5.5.1, item d; 8.4.1). For each horizon a separate block of measures is formed, with an indication of the resources and those responsible. In mode A, measures beyond the term of the master plan are not included in the list of measures for the implementation of the master plan.

10.2.2 Criteria for forming the priority measures

The priority measures include:

a) pilot projects (9.9) as a method of tuning and verifying project solutions before scaling (4.5.8);

b) measures for the removal of critical infrastructural constraints that determine the viability of the territory (4.1.4; 7.4.4), including the conditions of technological connection to engineering networks;

c) measures to complete the formalization of the status of the historic settlement where it is insufficient (5.1.2) and to fill the gaps in the record documentation of cultural heritage objects (7.3.6);

d) where the integral ranking index is applied (9.4.3) — measures with the highest value of the index;

e) measures aimed at preventing irreversible consequences for historical and cultural heritage (7.13.2);

f) measures for the development of the competence of interested parties (9.3.1, item e) as measures that enable the other types of measure;

g) measures supported by confirmed financing;

h) the bringing of the land-use and development rules into conformity with the decisions of the sustainable development documentation for the territory of the historic settlement, with the agreement of the draft land-use and development rules with the cultural heritage protection authority (paragraphs 5–7 of Article 60 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]).

10.2.3 Logic of the sequence of measures

When the sequence of measures is determined, the following dependencies are taken into account:

a) infrastructure measures that remove constraints on development, including technological connection to the networks, precede the investment projects that depend on the availability of infrastructure;

b) organizational measures, including a change in the regulatory framework and the formation of institutions, precede the measures for which they are a necessary condition;

c) measures for the development of the competence of interested parties precede the forms of participation that require a high level of competence (4.2.1, 4.2.4);

d) measures for the formalization of the status of the historic settlement and for the filling of the documentation precede the measures that depend on the existence of an approved subject of protection and of investment passports;

e) pilot projects precede the scaling of the corresponding decisions.

For measures with a long implementation period, intermediate results are determined.

10.2.4 Structuring by blocks of confirmation of financing

The measures of the implementation plan are structured by the blocks of 9.8.5. Proposed investment projects and the measures that enable them are set out in a separate section of the plan and are not taken into account in the calculations of the need for infrastructure and financing until the investor's intentions are confirmed.

10.2.5 Pilot projects as priority measures

Pilot projects (9.9) are included in the priority measures of the implementation plan. For each pilot project the time frames of implementation, the criteria for assessing the results and the feedback mechanism are determined (9.9.3). The results of the implementation of the pilot projects are the basis for a decision on scaling the corresponding measures on the medium-term horizon. Negative results of pilot projects are the basis for the adjustment of the corresponding measures of the project solution (9.14).

10.2.6 Reconciliation with the horizons of the documents of strategic planning

The stages of the implementation plan are linked to the horizons of the documents of strategic planning in force: the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation, the documents of territorial planning of the Russian Federation and of the subject of the Russian Federation, the master plan (where one exists), the strategies of socio-economic development, the state and municipal programmes, and the national projects (5.5.3). In mode A the stages of the implementation plan coincide with the stages of the list of measures for the implementation of the master plan. Programmes for the integrated development of utility, transport and social infrastructure systems and state programmes are indicated as the mechanisms for the implementation of the measures. Synchronization of the measures of the plan with the budget cycle and with the planning cycles of the programmes in force is ensured. Where there are overlaps with the measures of programmes in force, coordination is ensured in order to avoid duplication or contradictions.

10.3 Resource and financial provision

Resource and financial provision is based on the financial and investment justification of the project solution (9.8) and secures the integration of investment planning (4.4.7). The results of the analysis of budget possibilities and of the investment environment are used (7.5.2, 7.5.6).

10.3.1 Inheritance of the financial and investment justification

The implementation plan is based on the financial and investment justification of the project solution (9.8). The cost estimates, the sources of financing and the results of the comparison with budget possibilities are transferred into the plan, with detail by stages.

10.3.2 Detail of financing by stages and sources

For each stage of implementation (10.2.1) the following are determined:

a) the volume of budget financing, broken down by levels: federal, regional, local;

b) the volume of extra-budgetary investment;

c) the funds of development institutions and of targeted programmes;

d) other sources.

For each measure the volume of confirmed and unconfirmed financing is indicated. For the priority measures the detail is carried out down to specific programmes and budget lines where the information exists.

10.3.3 Multi-channel financing

The multi-channel character of the financing of the measures of the implementation plan is ensured. The attraction of extra-budgetary investment is worked out. The measures are optimized to the financing criteria of federal and regional development institutions (9.8.4). Compatibility of the format of the documentation of the plan with the requirements of the corresponding programmes and support mechanisms is ensured. For the measures for the preservation and integration of heritage (9.3.1, item d) specialized sources of financing are determined.

Regional mechanisms for accompanying investors, including a single window and the plan for bringing cultural heritage objects into economic use, are used as an instrument of implementation and do not replace the implementation plan of the historic settlement (4.4.5).

10.3.4 Budgetary sustainability

The list of measures the implementation of which is provided for from budget funds is formed on the basis of the forecast balance of the budget of the public-law entity (a subject of the Russian Federation and/or a municipality) for the horizon of the priority stage. Confirmed forecast revenues are revenues provided for by the law (decision) on the budget or by an approved forecast of socio-economic development and of the budget. Extra-budgetary sources are not included in that limit and are indicated separately. Expenditure of the priority stage from budget funds shall not exceed the confirmed forecast revenues of the corresponding budget.

10.3.5 Verification of the realism of the financial model

A retrospective analysis of expenditure by fields (9.4.4) is applied to the priority stage of the implementation plan. If the cost of the measures of the priority stage exceeds the actual expenditure in the corresponding field over recent years by several times or by an order of magnitude, and there is no justification of the sources of financing, the sustainability of the plan is called into question and an adjustment of the composition of the measures or of the sources is required.

10.3.6 Non-financial resources

The implementation plan takes into account the need for non-financial resources:

a) personnel resources, including the availability of specialists in the field of restoration, preservation of heritage and urban planning (data of 6.4.6, analysis of 7.5.5); where there is a deficit, measures for the training of personnel are included in the priority measures;

b) land resources: the availability of the land plots necessary for the implementation of the measures, and the legal regime of the land plots;

c) engineering capacities: the availability of spare capacities of the engineering infrastructure and clear conditions of technological connection; where they are insufficient, measures for increasing them are determined, taking into account the sequence (10.2.3);

d) information resources: the availability of the data necessary for the implementation of the measures (data of Clause 6).

10.4 Those responsible, coordination and the participation of interested parties

The organization of coordination and of the participation of interested parties secures the integrated approach and the cross-sector management model (4.5.5), the participation of interested parties (4.2.4), the coordination of state protection and development (4.5.4) and the leadership of governing bodies (4.5.9). The groups of interested parties identified under 5.2.1 participate. This subclause appoints those responsible and the forms of implementation of the plan and does not replace the implementation management system of Clause 11.

10.4.1 Appointment of those responsible

For each measure of the implementation plan the principal responsible implementer and the co-implementers from related sectors are determined. Those responsible are inherited from the measures of the project solution (9.3.2). The responsible implementer or a co-implementer may be a public authority, an organization, or a public or professional initiative (10.4.9). The appointment is recorded in the fields of 10.1.2.

For measures that affect cultural heritage objects and the historic environment, the person responsible for ensuring compliance with the protection regimes and with the requirements for the quality of interventions is determined.

10.4.2 Implementation coordinating body

For the coordination of the implementation of the plan it is recommended that a working group (project office) be formed (3.3.7), including representatives of the public authorities in the field of territorial development, urban planning and heritage protection, of business, of the professional community, of public organizations in the field of heritage, representatives of residents, and of educational and scientific organizations (5.2.1). The working group (project office) secures the coordination of the implementation of the plan, the legitimacy of decisions and the taking into account of the interests of interested parties. The composition, the powers and the procedure of work are determined by a regulation approved by the authorized body.

The working group (project office) coordinates the plan as a whole and does not replace the implementers of the measures. A single project office is not the only form of implementation of the plan (10.4.9). This clause does not establish the organizational structure of the management system of Clause 11. In the absence of a working group (project office) and of a coordinating body (11.2.1), their functions established by Clauses 10–12 are performed by the authorized body (3.3.8).

10.4.3 Principles of decision-making

Transparency and the documentability of decisions on implementation are ensured (4.5.10). Decisions are taken on the basis of consensus, with the possibility of recording and publishing dissenting opinions. Where proposals of participants are rejected, a reasoned justification is formed. Leadership of the management in the implementation of sustainable development decisions is ensured (4.5.9). The implementation of the plan is linked to the formalized assessments of the activity of governing bodies that are in force on the date of development of the documentation.

10.4.4 Expert support

For the assessment of sectoral questions of implementation and of the conformity of measures with the objectives and with the quality requirements, internal experts from the working group and external experts are engaged. Quality control points are determined at the key stages of the implementation of measures: intermediate results, pilot sections, stages of work, acceptance. The expert assessment is documented and is part of the evidence base for the quality of implementation.

10.4.5 Cross-sector coordination

Mechanisms for the coordination of cross-sectoral measures are ensured (4.5.5). For each measure the operational roles of the interested departments are recorded. When the measures of the plan are decomposed into components, the cultural aspect and the potentials of heritage are integrated into each element of the functional urban model. Regular meetings of the coordinating body are held with an established periodicity. On individual questions special meetings are held: exchange of information, design of decisions, taking of decisions. All decisions of the meetings are minuted.

10.4.6 Participation of interested parties during implementation

The informing of the target groups on the progress of implementation of the plan and the collection of feedback at each stage are ensured (4.2.4). A register of interested parties is kept, with the tracking of comments and proposals received. A plan of regular information on the progress of implementation is formed. For each stage of implementation the formats of participation of interested parties are determined. The development of the competence of interested parties in the field of sustainable development and the preservation of heritage is regarded as a condition that enables the quality of their participation (4.2.1; 5.2.3). All comments of interested parties are recorded and considered by the coordinating body, with a plan of action determined for each communication.

10.4.7 Management of communications during implementation

The formats and channels of communication between the participants in implementation are determined. The accessibility of information on the progress of implementation for all participants is ensured (4.5.10). The information system for implementation management serves as an instrument of coordination (11.6). A response to communications from the participants in implementation within the established time frames is ensured.

10.4.8 Operational monitoring by the coordinating body

The working group (project office) ensures regular operational monitoring of the implementation of the plan: fulfilment of the schedule, conformity of the measures with the quality requirements, fulfilment of decisions and instructions. On the basis of the results of operational monitoring, management actions are formed: adjustment of time frames, resources and those responsible. Operational monitoring differs from the monitoring of the achievement of the sustainable development objectives (Clause 12) and provides for the management of the current progress of the work.

10.4.9 System of support for public and professional initiatives

In addition to the single coordinating body of the plan, a system of support is formed for public and professional initiatives and organizations that may implement individual fields of measures or individual measures (4.1.4, 4.2.4). The support system creates legal, institutional, informational and resource conditions for the initiatives of residents, public organizations, professional communities, educational and scientific organizations, and bearer communities of practices.

An initiative may be the responsible implementer or a co-implementer of a field of measures or of an individual measure. The appointment is recorded in the fields of 10.1.2. Local initiatives taken into account in the project solution (9.11.3) receive an implementer and support at the stage of the plan.

Initiatives are not taken out of the implementation plan. For measures implemented by initiatives, traceability (10.1.3), time frames and stages (10.2), the requirements for the preservation of heritage (10.5), the quality matrix (10.5.3) and the plan of response to a substantial adverse change in external conditions (10.7.2) are retained. The coordinating body ensures the reconciliation of the initiatives with one another and with the budget cycle and does not duplicate the management system of Clause 11.

10.5 Requirements for the preservation of heritage during implementation

The requirements of this subclause are applied at the stage of implementation, and not only at the stage of design. The quality matrix (9.12.1) and the assessment under 7.12 are used.

10.5.1 Protocols for the protection of heritage during the implementation of projects

During the implementation of infrastructure and investment projects on the territory of the historic settlement, the preservation of cultural heritage objects, of the elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement, of archaeological objects and of other attributes of historical and cultural value is ensured. For projects implemented in the immediate vicinity of cultural heritage objects or on territories with archaeological potential, protocols for the suspension of work in the event of unforeseen finds are established.

The implementation plan determines measures to minimize the adverse effects of construction work on the historic environment and on heritage objects, including vibration, dust and loads on the foundations of adjoining historic buildings.

10.5.2 Iterative assessment of effects and of impact at the stage of implementation

The assessment under 7.12 is carried out iteratively at the stage of implementation: the condition of the elements of the subject of protection (7.12.1) and the indirect conditions affecting the subject of protection and the historic environment (7.12.2) are tracked. In the event of unforeseen adverse effects the mitigation hierarchy is applied (4.3.6). Where incompatibility with the subject of protection or a substantial indirect effect leading to degradation is identified, the decision to suspend the implementation of a measure of the implementation plan, to exclude it or to revise it is taken by the coordinating body with the involvement of an independent assessment under 7.12 (10.4.2, 10.4.4); in the absence of a coordinating body, by the authorized body (3.3.8). This clause establishes the decision on a measure of the plan and does not regulate the suspension of work: work is suspended in the cases and in the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, including paragraphs 4 and 7 of Article 36 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1].

10.5.3 Quality matrix at the stages of implementation and operation

The quality matrix (9.12.1) is applied at the stages of construction and operation. The control of conformity is ensured by the coordinating body (10.4.2) with the involvement of experts (10.4.4). The assessment under 7.12 is not replaced by the quality matrix (10.5.2).

10.5.4 Management of change in the historic environment

Any changes in the historic environment that arise in the course of the implementation of measures are checked for compatibility with the subject of protection of the historic settlement and with the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects (4.3.8). The recording of the elements of the subject of protection to be preserved provides the basis, beyond which development is permitted.

Protection obligations and technical condition reports are regarded as documents of investment readiness that are updated and are maintained in the course of implementation, and are not recorded once at the moment of transfer of the object.

The bringing of objects into economic use during the implementation of the plan is checked under 5.4.4, item i). The digital catalogue of investment proposals belongs to open data and does not replace the information system (11.6; 6.9.4).

10.5.5 Intangible heritage during implementation

The implementation of measures shall not destroy the spatial conditions of the transmission of intangible practices: the places, routes and public spaces of occurrence (4.3.5; 9.5.5). Bearer communities participate in work that affects those conditions.

10.6 Link with urban-planning documentation and the management system

The implementation plan secures consistency with the documents of territorial planning (4.3.8, 4.5.4) and the source data for the implementation management system (Clause 11) and for monitoring (Clause 12). The results of the check of the consistency of the project solution with the documents of territorial planning are used (9.10).

10.6.1 Coordination with the documents of territorial planning

The implementation plan secures consistency with the master plan (where one exists), the general plan, the land-use and development rules, the schemes of territorial planning, the territory planning projects and other documents of territorial planning and urban-planning zoning. The list of documents to be developed or updated for the implementation of sustainable development measures (9.10.2) is included in the implementation plan, with an indication of the time frames, those responsible and the procedure of development or updating. Measures for the updating of documentation are included in the priority measures.

Conformity of the functional zones, the territorial zones and the types of permitted use of land plots is ensured. The materials of the vision (8.3.5) are joined to the documents of territorial planning by this clause without lowering the requirements of this standard.

10.6.2 The urban-planning part as an element of the plan

On the basis of the project solution, proposals are formed for amendments to the general plan or the master plan, to the planning designs and to the land-use and development rules (9.10.2). In the implementation plan, specific time frames, those responsible and the procedure of development and of passage through the approval procedures are determined for these proposals. In mode B the urban-planning part may be developed sequentially after the approval of the strategic part of the project solution. In mode A the land-use and development rules and the territory planning projects are prepared sequentially; the time frames of their preparation take into account the period for bringing the land-use and development rules into conformity with the master plan. Until the approval of the land-use and development rules prepared in relation to the territories of historic settlements of federal significance, territory planning projects and land-survey designs within the boundaries of the territory of such a historic settlement are agreed with the federal cultural heritage protection authority (paragraph 8 of Article 60 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1]).

10.6.3 Securing the source data for the implementation management system

The implementation plan secures the source data for the implementation management system (Clause 11): the composition of the measures, the time frames, those responsible and the indicators determine the requirements for the organizational structure (11.2), project management (11.3), the coordination of participants (11.4) and the information system (11.6).

10.6.4 Securing the source data for monitoring

The implementation plan secures the source data for the monitoring system (Clause 12): each measure of the plan is linked to measurable monitoring indicators from the system of sustainable development indicators (in accordance with Annex B). Feedback from monitoring to the implementation plan is ensured: the results of monitoring (Clause 12) are the basis for updating the plan (10.9).

10.7 Risk management during implementation

Risk management during implementation uses the results of the analysis of risks and opportunities (7.11.3) and provides for a response to a substantial change in external conditions in the course of implementation.

10.7.1 Identification of implementation risks

On the basis of the results of the analysis of risks and opportunities (7.11.3), the following risks are identified for the implementation plan:

a) financial: insufficiency of financing, a change in budget conditions, withdrawal of investors;

b) legal: a change in the regulatory framework, conflicts of constraints;

c) organizational: a deficit of personnel, insufficient coordination;

d) risks for heritage: unforeseen effects on cultural heritage objects and the historic environment;

e) environmental: an adverse effect on the environment; the climatic parameters of the territory are taken into account as a factor of the condition of the historic environment (7.6.3) without the introduction of separate mandatory climate requirements;

f) social: resistance of interested parties, conflicts of interest, risks of displacement.

For each risk the probability, the scale of the consequences and the response plan are determined.

10.7.2 Plan of response to a substantial adverse change in external conditions

The measures that are subject to suspension in the event of a substantial adverse change in external conditions — economic, social, environmental, legal — are determined. When the plan of response to a substantial adverse change in external conditions is formed, the measures are ranked by the priority of preservation. The highest priority of preservation is given to measures aimed at preventing irreversible consequences for historical and cultural heritage (7.13.2), and also to measures with confirmed financing and with obligations that have been accepted. The plan of response to a substantial adverse change in external conditions is activated by a decision of the coordinating body (10.4.2) when the grounds indicated in this clause arise.

10.7.3 Formation of the register of implementation risks

The register of implementation risks is formed on the basis of the analysis of risks and opportunities (7.11.3) and of the identification of risks under 10.7.1. Updating of the register of implementation risks is carried out by the coordinating body within operational monitoring (10.4.8).

10.8 Requirements for the documentation of the implementation plan

The documentation of the implementation plan secures its use in forming the management system (Clause 11) and in monitoring (Clause 12), and its accessibility for interested parties (8.9, 9.13; 4.5.10).

10.8.1 Composition of the documentation of the implementation plan

The implementation plan is documented as comprising:

a) the list of measures with the characteristics under 10.1.2;

b) the schedule, with an indication of the stages, the intermediate results and the dependencies (10.2);

c) the resource statement, broken down by sources and stages (10.3);

d) map-schemes of the measures by stages of implementation, with a spatial reference;

e) the register of implementation risks and the plan of response to a substantial adverse change in external conditions (10.7);

f) the appointment of those responsible, including public and professional initiatives (10.4.1, 10.4.9).

The documentation secures the source data for the implementation management system (Clause 11) and for monitoring (Clause 12). The documentation shall be updated and made available for use by interested parties (4.5.10).

10.8.2 Public version of the implementation plan

The public version of the implementation plan is formed as an accessible presentation for the target groups (8.9.2). The specific character of the stage is: the stages, the time frames, the volumes of financing, those responsible and the expected effects; map-schemes of the measures by stages, infographics of the key indicators, interactive maps where the technical possibility exists. In mode A the list of measures for the implementation of the master plan, if it is approved as a separate document, and its current edition are published (5.1.7, item f).

10.8.3 Traceability in the documentation

The documentation secures full traceability: for each measure of the plan the chain "measure of the plan — measure of the project solution (Clause 9) — objective (5.4.2–5.4.4) — problem field (7.13) — principle (Clause 4)" is traced. The results of verification with the target groups (9.4.5), the results of the assessment under 7.12 (10.5.2) and the results of operational monitoring (10.4.8) are documented.

10.8.4 Structured results

The results of this Clause that are included in its documentation are presented as structured data in a machine-readable form (8.9.5).

10.9 Adaptability of the implementation plan

The adaptability of the implementation plan is secured by the mechanism of review and updating of objectives under 5.7 (the PDCA cycle, the grounds for review), with the particulars established in 10.9.1–10.9.3.

10.9.1 Cycle of review of the implementation plan

The recommended periodicity of review is: for the priority measures — annually; for the medium-term measures — once every 3–5 years; for the long-term measures — when the conditions change substantially. Updating implies not only the adjustment of existing measures, but also the inclusion of new ones.

10.9.2 Grounds for updating the plan

The grounds for updating the implementation plan are the events indicated in 5.7.2 for the review of objectives, and also the results of pilot projects (9.9.3, 10.2.5), a change in budget conditions or the confirmation of previously unconfirmed financing, a review of the vision (8.10) or of the project solution (9.14), and the results of the assessment under 7.12 that have revealed unforeseen consequences (10.5.2). In mode A the updating of the implementation plan is carried out in the procedure for amending the master plan or the list of measures for its implementation.

10.9.3 Securing continuity

When the implementation plan is updated, continuity is ensured and the loss of previously achieved agreements, of confirmed obligations and of the accumulated evidence base shall not be permitted, while adaptability to new conditions is preserved. When the plan is reviewed, the re-engagement of interested parties is ensured (10.4.6, 10.4.9). The results of the updating are documented, with an indication of the grounds for the changes made.

11 Implementation management system and digitalization

This Clause converts the implementation plan (Clause 10) into a continuously operating management process and a digital environment of execution. The result is the basis of monitoring (Clause 12).

This Clause does not establish the calendar and the assignment of responsible persons under Clause 10 and does not establish monitoring of the achievement of the objectives of Clause 12. The configuration of the system is determined by 11.1.4, taking into account 5.1.6.

The designation "implementation management system" in this Clause denotes the application of the sustainable development management system (3.2.2) at the stage of execution of the implementation plan.

The recommended approach to artificial intelligence readiness (AI-readiness) and to the graph model of the information system is given in Annex C and is not a condition of conformity with this Clause.

11.1 General requirements for the implementation management system

11.1.1 Objective and tasks of the implementation management system

The objective of the implementation management system is to ensure a managed, coordinated and transparent process of execution of the implementation plan (Clause 10), with a contribution to the sustainable development objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4). The management system ensures the transition from a schedule to a continuously operating management process.

The activity of the management system is carried out on the basis of the regulation on the implementation management system (11.2.3) approved by the authorized body. Management plans, coordination, communications and the information system operate within the framework of the regulation and do not substitute for it.

The tasks of the system are:

a) operational management of the implementation of measures: time frames, quality, resources;

b) coordination of participants and cross-sectoral interaction (4.5.5);

c) ensuring the participation of interested parties (4.2.4);

d) information and digital support of the implementation process (4.1.3, 4.5.10, 4.5.11);

e) ensuring compliance with the requirements for the preservation of cultural heritage (4.3.6, 4.5.4);

f) documenting the course of implementation and ensuring transparency (4.5.10);

g) adaptation of the management system to changing conditions (4.1.3, 4.5.8).

The management system shall demonstrate a contribution to the objectives refined on the basis of the results of the analysis (5.4.2–5.4.4) without reproducing the objective-setting system.

11.1.2 Link with the implementation plan as the principal source of input data

The implementation plan (Clause 10) is the principal source of input data for the management system. The input data are the composition of measures, time frames, responsible persons, indicators, the financing structure, the risk register and the response plan for a substantial adverse change in external conditions (10.6.3, 10.7), the designation of public and professional initiatives as implementers (10.4.9, 10.8.1, item f)), the quality matrix (9.12), the results of the analysis of the management system (7.7.3) and the data format (6.9). The preliminary system of objectives, the objectives refined on the basis of the results of the analysis (Clause 5), the target scenario of territorial development 8.5, the target scenario of measures 9.2 and the composition of the measures of the plan are not reopened.

The input data specified form the requirements for the organizational structure (11.2), project management (11.3), coordination of participants (11.4) and the information system (11.6). The management system ensures feedback from the course of implementation to the plan through the mechanisms of adaptability (11.9) and monitoring (Clause 12).

11.1.3 Implementation management cycle

The implementation management system is based on the built-in cycle: planning, doing, checking, acting (4.1.3; 5.7). Planning includes the formation or updating of the regulation on the implementation management system (11.2.3), the formation of management plans (11.3.1) and the setting up of the organizational structure (11.2). Doing is the execution of the measures of the implementation plan with the use of the coordination tools (11.4) and the information system (11.6). Checking is operational monitoring by the coordinating body (10.4.8) and monitoring of the achievement of objectives (Clause 12). Acting is corrective and preventive actions, updating of the implementation plan (10.9) and adaptation of the management system (11.9).

Operational monitoring 10.4.8 ensures management of the current progress of the work and does not substitute for monitoring of the achievement of the objectives of Clause 12.

11.1.4 Configuration and phased development of the management system

The configuration of the management system is determined by the results of the analysis of existing organizational structures, competence and areas of responsibility (7.7.3), the degree of formalization of the status of the historic settlement (5.1.2) and the availability of competence (7.5.5, 10.3.6, item a)). This clause does not establish a maturity scale of the management system.

A simplified organizational structure and a minimum composition of management plans may be used, provided that coordination of protection and development (4.5.4), participation of interested parties (4.2.4), the requirements for the preservation of heritage (11.7) and traceability of decisions (11.8.2) are retained. As institutional and digital capabilities are built up, the full configuration of the management system is ensured, including all elements of this Clause. Phased development of the management system is included in the implementation plan as an organizational measure (9.3.1, item c)).

11.2 Organizational structure

The organizational structure ensures an integrated approach and a cross-sectoral management model (4.5.5), leadership of the management bodies (4.5.9) and participation of interested parties (4.2.4). This subclause develops the coordinating body of the implementation plan (10.4.2) into a continuously operating structure of execution and does not reassign the persons responsible for the measures of Clause 10.

11.2.1 Implementation coordinating body

For the management of implementation, the working group (project office) formed in accordance with 10.4.2 should be developed into a continuously operating coordinating body (3.3.7). The coordinating body inherits the composition and the powers of the working group and ensures operational management of the implementation of the plan, the taking of management decisions, coordination of cross-sectoral interaction, control of quality and time frames, and interaction with interested parties.

The coordinating body includes representatives of the authorities in the fields of territorial development, urban planning and heritage protection, of business, of the professional community and of public organizations in the field of heritage, representatives of residents, and of educational and scientific organizations (5.2.1). The composition, powers and procedure of work are determined by the regulation approved by the authorized body.

The coordinating body coordinates implementation as a whole and does not substitute for the implementers of measures. A single project office is not the only form of execution of the plan (10.4.9; 11.2.5). Along with the operational level of execution, a strategic level of direction of implementation by the authorized body is ensured: periodic consideration of the course of implementation, and the taking of decisions on updating of the plan and of the configuration of the management system. In the absence of a coordinating body, its functions are performed by the authorized body (10.4.2).

11.2.2 Expert support

An expert council is formed under the coordinating body. Expert support is organized in the areas of Clause 4: people and the community; environment and heritage; the heritage economy; management. Experts are divided into internal experts, who are members of the coordinating body, and external experts, engaged to assess particular matters by decision of the coordinating body.

The expert council ensures assessment of sectoral matters of implementation, assessment of the conformity of measures with the objectives and the quality requirements (10.4.4) and an independent assessment under 7.12 at key stages. The expert assessment is documented and is part of the evidence base of the quality of implementation.

11.2.3 Regulation on the management system

The regulation on the implementation management system is the principal regulating document of the system. A regulation is formed that determines:

a) the organizational structure, including the strategic and operational levels of execution;

b) the allocation of powers and responsibility, including implementer initiatives (11.2.5);

c) the procedure for taking decisions;

d) the rules of procedure of the coordinating body and the expert council;

e) the procedure for holding meetings and for keeping minutes;

f) the requirements for the information system (11.6).

The regulation is approved by the authorized body. Without an approved regulation, a continuously operating management system is not regarded as having been formed.

11.2.4 Requirements for the competence of the management team

The competence of the team of the coordinating body is ensured in the following areas: implementation management, urban planning, preservation of cultural heritage, sustainable development, work with interested parties, and digital tools (4.2.1). Where a competence deficit is identified (7.5.5, 10.3.6, item a)), measures for the development of the competence of the team are included in the implementation plan.

11.2.5 System of support for public and professional initiatives

Along with the coordinating body, the system of support for public and professional initiatives formed in accordance with 10.4.9 operates. This clause does not reproduce the composition and the conditions of the support system.

The designation of an initiative as a responsible implementer or co-implementer is inherited from the fields of 10.1.2 and is not reassigned by this clause. The coordinating body ensures the coordination of initiatives with one another and with the budget cycle.

Initiatives are not removed from the management system. For measures executed by initiatives, traceability (10.1.3), the requirements for the preservation of heritage (11.7), the quality matrix (11.3.2) and the response plan for a substantial adverse change in external conditions (10.7.2) are retained.

11.3 Project management

Project management ensures a basis in factual data (4.5.6), continual improvement (4.5.8) and management based on impact indicators (4.5.7). The financial and investment justification (9.8), the resource statement (10.3), the risk register (10.7) and the quality control points (10.4.4) are used. The composition of measures, time frames and responsible persons are not formed anew by this subclause. Management plans are maintained in accordance with the regulation on the implementation management system (11.2.3).

11.3.1 Management plans

The coordinating body forms and maintains management plans in the following areas:

a) scope management — control of the conformity of the measures being implemented with the implementation plan, and the procedure for making changes;

b) schedule management — a schedule with milestones and dependencies (10.2), and control of execution;

c) quality management — the quality matrix by stages of the life cycle (9.12.1), and quality control points (10.4.4);

d) resource management — control of financial and non-financial resources (10.3);

e) communications management — the communications strategy (11.5.2);

f) risk management — inherits the risk register and the response plan for a substantial adverse change in external conditions (10.7);

g) management of interested parties — the register and the information plan (11.5.1).

The composition of the management plans is determined by the configuration of the system (11.1.4). The minimum composition does not exempt from the requirements for quality and risk management (11.3.2, 11.3.3) and for the preservation of heritage (11.7).

11.3.2 Quality management

The quality matrix of the project solution (9.12.1) is applied at the stages of construction and operation. Quality indicators include the preservation of the value characteristics of the heritage and of the historic environment, the accessibility of cultural heritage objects, the participation of communities, and environmental and social indicators. Control of the conformity of the measures being implemented with the quality indicators is ensured by the coordinating body with the involvement of the expert council (11.2.2).

The quality of interventions in the historic environment should be checked against the criteria for the quality of the built environment (9.5.7). The quality matrix does not substitute for assessment under 7.12 (11.7.4). Object-level indicators do not substitute for sustainable development indicators (9.5.3).

11.3.3 Risk management

Risk management during implementation inherits the risk register, the classification of risks and the response plan for a substantial adverse change in external conditions (10.7). The coordinating body ensures regular updating of the risk register, monitoring of the occurrence of risk events and timely activation of response measures. The risk register during implementation is maintained in accordance with 10.7.3. Updating of the register is carried out within operational monitoring (10.4.8).

11.3.4 Cost management and budget control

The coordinating body ensures control of the conformity of actual expenditure with planned expenditure for each measure and source of financing (10.3.2). Monitoring of budgetary sustainability is ensured (10.3.4). Where actual expenditure deviates substantially from planned expenditure, corrective actions are formed. Verification of the realism of the financial model is carried out on the basis of a retrospective analysis of expenditure (10.3.5).

11.3.5 Quality control points at the stages of implementation

Quality control points are determined at the key stages of implementation of measures: intermediate results, pilot sites, stages of work, acceptance (10.4.4). For measures on historic territories, the control points include assessment under 7.12 (11.7.4). The results of the control points are reflected as the execution status of measures in the information system (11.6).

11.4 Coordination of participants and cross-sectoral interaction

Coordination ensures an integrated approach and a cross-sectoral management model (4.5.5), coordination of state protection and development (4.5.4) and consistency with territorial planning documents (4.3.8). The mechanisms of cross-sectoral coordination (10.4.5) and of alignment with strategic planning documents (10.2.6) are used.

11.4.1 Cross-sectoral coordination

Mechanisms for the coordination of cross-sectoral measures are ensured (4.5.5). For each measure of the implementation plan, the established operational roles of the interested agencies or departments are retained (10.1.5). When measures are decomposed into components, the cultural aspect and the potentials of heritage are integrated into each element of the functional urban model.

11.4.2 Meetings, keeping of minutes and management of decisions

The coordinating body holds regular meetings at an established frequency. The types of meetings are:

a) general meetings of the coordinating body with invited experts;

b) special meetings on particular matters: information exchange, design of solutions, taking of decisions.

All decisions of meetings are recorded in minutes. Decisions taken in the course of implementation management are drawn up in writing, with an indication of the author and the date. Transparency and the documentability of all decisions are ensured (10.4.3; 4.5.10).

11.4.3 Coordination with territorial planning documents

The coordinating body ensures coordination of implementation with the master plan (where one exists), the general plan, the land use and development rules, territorial planning schemes and other documents (10.6.1). The execution of measures for updating urban-planning documentation is controlled (10.6.2). The vision materials (8.3.5) are interfaced with territorial planning documents without lowering the requirements of this standard. Where contradictions are identified between the course of implementation and the documents in force, the necessary corrective actions are determined.

11.4.4 Coordination with the budget cycle

Synchronization of the measures of the implementation plan with the budget cycle and the planning cycles of programs in force is ensured (10.2.6). The coordinating body ensures the timely preparation of applications for budgetary financing of the measures of the plan and control of the inclusion of measures in state and municipal programs.

11.4.5 Multi-level management

Vertical and horizontal coordination is ensured between the levels of management: federal, regional and municipal. For measures that affect the powers of several levels, mechanisms for alignment and for the resolution of contradictions are determined. The coordinating body ensures coordination with federal and regional development institutions (9.8.4, 10.3.3).

11.4.6 Investor support and the single window

Regional and municipal mechanisms of investor support, including the single window and the plan for bringing cultural heritage objects into economic circulation, are used as an instrument of execution and do not replace the implementation management system of the historic settlement (4.4.5; 10.3.3). The catalog of investment proposals and the platform for the placement of passports are open data and do not substitute for the information system (11.6.1, 11.6.8).

11.5 Participation of interested parties and communications

The participation of interested parties ensures the implementation of principle 4.2.4. The mechanisms of participation during implementation (10.4.6) and of communications management (10.4.7) are used. The groups of interested parties identified in accordance with 5.2.1 participate. This subclause does not reproduce the matrix of parties of Clause 5.

11.5.1 Register of interested parties

The coordinating body maintains a register of interested parties, with tracking of comments and proposals received (10.4.6). The register includes contact details, sectoral competence, interests and degree of influence, including bearer communities of intangible practices. All comments of interested parties are recorded and considered by the coordinating body, with a plan of action determined for each submission. The obligation to respond to submissions of participants in implementation within the established time limits is ensured (10.4.7).

11.5.2 Communications strategy

A communications strategy is formed that determines:

a) the formats and channels of communication among participants in implementation;

b) the frequency of information provision;

c) the target groups and the formats adapted for them;

d) feedback mechanisms;

e) digital communication tools, including the service for collecting opinions and proposals (11.6.5, item f)).

Accessibility of information on the course of implementation for all participants is ensured (4.5.10). The implementation management information system (11.6) serves as a tool of communication.

11.5.3 Information provision and feedback during implementation

Information is provided to target groups on the course of implementation of the plan. A plan of regular information provision is formed. For each stage of implementation, the formats of participation of interested parties are determined. Feedback is collected at each stage, including by means of digital tools (11.6.5, item f)). Bearer communities of practices participate in decisions that affect the spatial conditions for the transmission of practices (11.7.5).

11.5.4 Development of the competence of interested parties

The development of the competence of interested parties in the field of sustainable development and the preservation of heritage is regarded as an enabling condition for the quality of their participation (4.2.1; 5.2.3). The coordinating body facilitates the implementation of measures for the development of the competence of the population, investors and the professional community (9.3.1, item e), 10.2.2, item f)).

11.5.5 Public reporting and transparency

The coordinating body ensures regular public reporting on the course of implementation of the plan (4.5.10; 8.9.2). Public reporting includes the status of measures, the utilization of financing, the achievement of targets, the problems identified and the decisions taken. Where a digital twin is available, reporting should be visualized in its interface (11.6.5).

11.6 Requirements for digitalization and the information system

The requirements of this subclause ensure continuity of the sustainable development process and the functioning of documents as an information system of the territory (4.1.3), transparency and digitalization (4.5.10) and AI-readiness (4.5.11). The data format (6.9) and the geographic information binding of measures (9.7.3) are used. The composition of the input data of Clause 6 is not reproduced by this subclause. The requirements ensure input data for monitoring (Clause 12).

11.6.1 General requirements for the information system

An implementation management information system is formed that ensures:

a) storage, systematization and provision of access to data on the course of implementation of the plan;

b) support for management decision-making;

c) coordination of participants in implementation;

d) informing of interested parties;

e) modelling of territorial and sectoral problem fields for the required calculation period (4.1.3).

The information system shall provide for the possibility of dynamic updating and shall not be a static repository of documents.

11.6.2 Integration with state information systems

The information system provides for the possibility of exporting and receiving data in the formats used by the systems specified:

a) state information systems for urban-planning activity;

b) the federal state information system for territorial planning;

c) the federal state information system "Unified Digital Platform 'National Spatial Data System'";

d) the state integrated information system for the management of public finances "Electronic Budget";

e) other state information systems containing data necessary for implementation management.

The exchange formats used are recorded in the requirements for the information system that form part of the regulation on the implementation management system (11.2.3, item f)). Structured results included in the master plan are prepared in formats that ensure placement in the federal state information system for territorial planning and transfer to the federal state information system "Unified Digital Platform 'National Spatial Data System'".

11.6.3 Geographic information component

Data on the course of implementation of measures that permit spatial localization are bound to a single spatial model of the territory in accordance with 6.9.1 and 9.7.3. The spatial model is built on a single electronic cartographic base and on data of state spatial data funds (6.9.1). The preparation and updating of geographic information layers on the basis of the results of implementation of measures are ensured. The geographic information component provides for the possibility of operational urban-planning and economic analysis of any territory or sectoral system (4.5.2).

11.6.4 Core of the information system and the recommended graph model

The core of the information system is the data and procedures of 11.6.1–11.6.3. The recommended graph model of the territory and the skills for working with it are given in Annex C and are not a condition of conformity of the documentation with Clauses 4–12. Where Annex C is applied, the information system supports updating of the execution attributes of measures: stage, responsible person, source and confirmation of financing, execution status.

The digital catalog of investment proposals and the platform for the placement of passports are open data and do not substitute for the information system (6.9.4).

11.6.5 Territorial digital twin

A territorial digital twin of the historic settlement should be formed (3.4.6; Annex C, C.3.5). The digital twin should include:

a) an information base with geographic information layers and sustainable development indicators, providing storage of and access to data;

b) models for assessing the provision of the population with service facilities on the basis of demand parameters, the capacity of the facilities and requirements for their accessibility;

c) models for assessing the transport and pedestrian connectivity of the territory;

d) models for assessing the centrality of territories by units of the planning structure and by sections of the street and road network;

e) the possibility of forming a forecast of changes in the assessments under scenarios of a change in the composition of infrastructure facilities, the population or accessibility parameters;

f) a service for collecting the opinions and proposals of interested parties in electronic form by means of access on the Internet;

g) a user interface with a model of roles and with access rights, providing users with access to data and models;

h) information models of objects that reproduce the visual image of the territory;

i) tools for loading, updating and quality control of data, including automated checks for duplication and outliers;

j) integration of the project materials of sustainable development measures into the digital twin and publication in its interface.

The digital twin should be implemented on the basis of freely distributed software. Putting the digital twin into operation includes start-up and adjustment works, testing, training of users and preparation of operating documentation. The absence of a digital twin does not exempt from the requirements for the information system in 11.6.1–11.6.3.

11.6.6 The information system as a modelling tool

The information system, including the digital twin, shall provide for the possibility of modelling territorial and sectoral problem fields for the required calculation period (4.1.3); of modelling urban-planning solutions by volumes, types of investment and sources of financing (4.4.7); and of modelling the response of territorial and sectoral systems to new trends (4.5.3). The information system shall provide for the possibility of cascading of targets to various spatial levels through the spatial toolkit of the territorial model (4.5.1).

11.6.7 Digital tools for heritage

The information system includes specialized tools for the management of historical and cultural heritage:

a) digital passports of cultural heritage objects, containing information on the subject of protection, technical condition, protection obligations, cadastral data and encumbrances (4.4.5; 7.3.6);

b) technologies of three-dimensional scanning and digital modelling of heritage objects — where technical capability and economic expediency exist;

c) monitoring of the condition of cultural heritage objects with binding to geographic information layers;

d) information on the investment readiness of heritage objects (9.5.3), available in open information resources.

Digital passports and the catalog of lots do not substitute for the measures of the implementation plan and the sustainable development indicators (in accordance with Annex B).

11.6.8 Open data and public transparency

Publication in open access of data on the course of implementation of the plan that do not contain restricted-access information is ensured (4.5.10; 8.9.2). Open data are published in machine-readable formats. The public version of the information system, including the interface of the digital twin, provides interested parties with access to information on measures, time frames, implementation status and monitoring indicators.

11.6.9 Information security

The requirements for the information security of the information system are ensured: protection of personal data, delimitation of access rights, backup, and conformity with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of information security.

11.7 Taking account of the requirements for the preservation of cultural heritage in the management system

The requirements of this subclause apply at the execution stage, and not only at the design stage. Heritage protection protocols (10.5), iterative assessment under 7.12 (10.5.2) and the quality matrix (10.5.3) are used.

11.7.1 Integration of heritage protection requirements into management processes

The requirements for the preservation of cultural heritage objects and of the subject of protection of the historic settlement are integrated into all processes of the implementation management system: into the management plans (11.3.1), the quality control points (11.3.5), meetings and minutes (11.4.2), and the information system (11.6.7). Any changes in the historic environment that arise in the course of the implementation of measures are checked for compatibility with the subject of protection (10.5.4; 4.3.8). The procedure for agreeing decisions that affect the subject of protection, protection regimes and the documentation of the historic settlement is established in 11.7.2 and is not changed by this clause.

11.7.2 Coordination with heritage protection authorities

Coordination of state protection and development at the execution stage is ensured (4.5.4). Decisions that affect the subject of protection of the historic settlement, the protection regimes of cultural heritage objects and the documentation of the historic settlement are agreed with the cultural heritage protection authorities in the cases established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. This clause does not establish a new type of agreement. In mode A, coordination includes participation of the cultural heritage protection authority in the consideration of changes to the master plan that affect the historic settlement (5.1.7). Recommendations on the development of the documentation of the historic settlement in conjunction with the development and implementation of the sustainable development documentation are given in Annex D.

Protection obligations and technical condition statements are regarded as updatable documents of investment readiness and are maintained in the course of execution, and are not recorded once only at the moment of transfer of the object.

11.7.3 Heritage protection protocols during implementation

During the implementation of projects on the territory of the historic settlement, compliance with the heritage protection protocols is ensured (10.5.1): preservation of cultural heritage objects, of elements of the subject of protection and of archaeological objects; the procedure for action in the event of unexpected finds; minimization of the adverse impacts of construction works on the historic environment. Where a critical impact is identified, the decision on a measure of the plan is taken, in accordance with the procedure of 10.5.2, by the coordinating body with the involvement of an independent assessment under 7.12 (10.4.2, 10.4.4, 11.2.2); in the absence of a coordinating body, by the authorized body (3.3.8). Suspension of works is carried out in the cases and in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, including clauses 4 and 7 of Article 36 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ of 25 June 2002 "On cultural heritage objects (monuments of history and culture) of the peoples of the Russian Federation" [1].

11.7.4 Iterative assessment of effects and impact at the implementation stage

Assessment under 7.12 is carried out iteratively at the implementation stage (7.12.1, 7.12.2, 10.5.2). In the event of unforeseen adverse impacts, the mitigation hierarchy is applied (4.3.6).

11.7.5 Intangible heritage and the social conditions of bringing into circulation

The execution of measures shall not destroy the spatial conditions for the transmission of intangible practices: the places, routes and public spaces in which they are carried on (4.3.5; 10.5.5). Bearer communities participate in decisions that affect those conditions.

The bringing of objects into economic circulation during execution of the plan is checked against 5.4.4, item i), and 10.5.4.

11.8 Requirements for documentation of the management system

The documentation of the management system ensures transparency of management processes (4.5.10), input data for monitoring (Clause 12) and accessibility for interested parties (8.9, 9.13, 10.8).

11.8.1 Composition of the regulating documents

The implementation management system is documented in a set the first document of which is the regulation on the management system (11.2.3):

a) the regulation on the management system (11.2.3);

b) management plans by area (11.3.1);

c) the communications strategy (11.5.2);

d) the technical specification and the operating documentation of the information system (11.6);

e) minutes of meetings and of decisions;

f) reports on the course of implementation;

g) the list of implementer initiatives and the conditions of their support (10.4.9, 11.2.5).

The documentation ensures input data for monitoring (Clause 12). The documentation shall be updated and made available for use by interested parties (4.5.10).

11.8.2 Recording of decisions and traceability

All management decisions are recorded in minutes, with an indication of the grounds for the decision, the link with the measures of the implementation plan, the responsible persons and the time limits for execution. Traceability of decisions to the measures of the implementation plan (Clause 10), to the objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4), to the problem fields (7.13) and to the principles (Clause 4) is ensured. The results of expert assessments, the comments of interested parties and the results of monitoring are documented as part of the evidence base.

11.8.3 Public version of reporting

Public reporting on the course of implementation is formed, in the composition of 11.5.5, as an accessible account for the target groups (8.9.2).

11.8.4 Structured results

The results of the Clause that form part of its documentation are presented as structured data in machine-readable form (8.9.5).

11.9 Adaptability of the implementation management system

The adaptability of the implementation management system is ensured by the mechanism for review and updating of objectives under 5.7 (the PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) cycle, the grounds for review), with the particular features established in 11.9.1–11.9.3.

11.9.1 Cycle of review of the management system

Review of the configuration of the management system should be carried out once every 3 years. Updating may include a change in the organizational structure, in the composition of the management plans and in the configuration of the information system.

11.9.2 Grounds for updating the management system

The grounds for updating the management system are the events specified in 5.7.2 for the review of objectives, and also updating of the implementation plan (10.9), a change in the configuration of the management system under 11.1.4, a substantial change in the requirements for the information system, and the results of assessment under 7.12 that have revealed unforeseen consequences (11.7.4).

11.9.3 Ensuring continuity

When the management system is updated, continuity is ensured and loss of the previously accumulated evidence base, of the established procedures and of competence shall not be permitted, while adaptability to new conditions is retained. When the management system is reviewed, the involvement of interested parties is ensured (11.5, 11.2.5). The results of updating are documented, with an indication of the grounds for the changes made.

12 Monitoring of implementation

This Clause provides for the assessment of the achievement of the sustainable development objectives and of the effect of the measures on the target states of the territory. The composition of the indicators is established in accordance with Annex B. Operational monitoring of the progress of the work is carried out under 10.4.8.

In mode A, monitoring in respect of the territory of the historic settlement is carried out as part of the monitoring of the implementation of the master plan or in conjunction with it. The requirements of this Clause are requirements for the content of such monitoring and do not establish a separate monitoring procedure.

This Clause does not replace the management system of Clause 11. The detail of monitoring is determined under 5.1.6, and the periodicity under 12.3.2.

12.1 General requirements for monitoring

12.1.1 Purpose and tasks of monitoring

The purpose of monitoring is to assess the achievement of the sustainable development objectives (5.4.2–5.4.4), and not only the degree of fulfilment of the measures (4.5.7). Monitoring shall demonstrate a contribution to the objectives refined on the basis of the analysis results, without reproducing the system of objective-setting.

The tasks of monitoring are:

a) assessment of the effect of the measures being implemented on the target states of the territory and on the systems (4.5.7);

b) formation of an evidence base for management decisions (4.5.6);

c) identification of deviations from the targets and of their causes;

d) securing of feedback for the updating of the implementation plan (10.9), of the project solution (9.14), of the vision (8.10), of the management system (11.9) and of the objectives (5.7.2);

e) securing of transparency and accountability to interested parties (4.5.10);

f) monitoring of trends, tendencies and the key factors of the scenarios, and not only of the degree of implementation of the measures that have been laid down (4.5.3; 8.5).

Monitoring indicators shall assess the effect on the required systems and states and shall illustrate the cross-sectoral effect (4.5.7, 4.5.5).

12.1.2 Distinction between operational and strategic monitoring

Operational monitoring by the coordinating body (10.4.8) provides for the management of the current progress of the work: fulfilment of the schedule, conformity of the measures with the quality requirements, fulfilment of decisions and instructions.

The strategic monitoring of this Clause assesses the achievement of the sustainable development objectives, the effectiveness of the measures by the criterion of effect on the target states of the territory, and the dynamics of the indicators relative to the baseline.

Both kinds use a single information system (11.6) and differ in subject, periodicity and the addressees of the results. Monitoring covers the measures of the coordinating body and the measures implemented by public and professional initiatives (10.4.9, 11.2.5).

12.1.3 Dual model of monitoring

The monitoring system includes two complementary forms:

a) periodic monitoring — a regular assessment of the achievement of the targets with an established periodicity (12.3.2);

b) reactive monitoring — an extraordinary assessment when threats, unforeseen effects, critical deviations from the targets or emergency situations are identified, including threats to cultural heritage objects and to the subject of protection (12.4.4).

Reactive monitoring is activated by a decision of the coordinating body (11.2.1) when the grounds indicated in this clause arise.

12.1.4 Link with the baseline

Monitoring is carried out relative to the baseline formed in the collection of source data (6.1.2) and recorded on the basis of the results of the analysis (7.1.6). The baseline includes the values of the indicators by the fields of Clause 4 and the indicators of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment (6.2.4, 7.3.2). Without a recorded baseline, an assessment of the dynamics is impossible. When the baseline is updated, the preservation of the original values is ensured for the comparability of the time series.

12.1.5 Link with the information system and the digital twin

Monitoring rests on the information system for implementation management (11.6). The monitoring data are integrated into the information system. Where a digital twin exists (11.6.5), it is recommended that the data be visualized in its interface.

The information system provides for the storage and systematization of the monitoring data, the automated calculation of indicators, the geoinformation referencing of the data (11.6.3), and modelling and forecasting (11.6.6). The digital tools for heritage monitoring (11.6.7) are used to track the condition of cultural heritage objects. The composition of the digital twin of 11.6.5, items a)–j), is not reproduced by this clause. The absence of a digital twin does not release the organization from the requirements for the information system in 11.6.1–11.6.3.

12.1.6 Multiple levels of monitoring

Monitoring is carried out at several spatial levels: a block or a district, the historic settlement as a whole, a functional territory or an agglomeration (5.3.1). Targets are cascaded to different spatial levels through the spatial instruments of the territorial model (4.5.1; 9.7.2). Monitoring makes it possible to carry out an operational urban-planning and economic analysis of a territory or of a sectoral system (4.5.2).

12.1.7 Configuration and the staged development of the monitoring system

The configuration of the monitoring system is determined by the results of the analysis of the management system (7.7.3), by the degree of formalization of the status of the historic settlement (5.1.2) and by the availability of data and of competence. This clause does not establish a maturity scale for the monitoring system.

A minimum composition of indicators and simplified procedures for the collection of data may be used, provided that the linkage to the objectives refined on the basis of the analysis results (5.7.3), the monitoring of heritage (12.4), the participation of interested parties (12.3.6) and traceability (12.8.2) are preserved. As institutional and digital capacity is built up, the full configuration of the monitoring system is ensured, including all the elements of this Clause. The staged development of the monitoring system is included in the implementation plan as an organizational measure (9.3.1, item c).

12.2 System of sustainable development indicators

The indicator system secures management on the basis of impact indicators (4.5.7). It is formed in accordance with the measurability of objectives (5.5.1, item b) and with the linkage of measures to indicators (9.1.6, 10.1.2, item e). The composition of the indicators is given in accordance with Annex B.

12.2.1 Three levels of indicators

The system of monitoring indicators includes three levels:

a) output indicators — they reflect the degree of fulfilment of the measures of the implementation plan: the volume of work completed, the use of financing, compliance with time frames;

b) outcome indicators — they reflect the achievement of the target states of the territory by the fields of Clause 4: a change in the provision of infrastructure, in the accessibility of services, in the condition of the historic environment;

c) impact indicators — they reflect a change in the quality of life, in the state of heritage, in the parameters of the environment and in social cohesion.

In strategic monitoring, priority is given to outcome and impact indicators, and not only to output indicators (4.5.7). Output indicators are the subject of operational monitoring (10.4.8).

12.2.2 Fields of indicators and the link with objectives

Indicators are formed by the four fields of Clause 4: people and community; environment and heritage; heritage economy; governance. The indicators are linked to the objectives refined on the basis of the analysis results (5.4.2–5.4.4), including the conditions of the active role of heritage (5.4.4). The list of groups of objectives is not reproduced by this clause.

The indicators are related to the fields of iterative analysis (5.4.5) in order to check the completeness of coverage and the balance of the monitoring system. Where the coverage of individual fields or groups of objectives is insufficient, the indicator system is supplemented.

12.2.3 Cross-sectoral indicators

The indicator system includes indicators that illustrate the cross-sectoral effect of the measures (4.5.7, 4.5.5). Cross-sectoral indicators reflect effects that arise at the intersection of the fields of Clause 4. When urban tasks and processes are decomposed into components, the cultural aspect is integrated into the indicators of each element of the functional urban model.

12.2.4 Indicators of the preservation and integration of heritage

The indicator system includes indicators specific to the field "environment and heritage":

a) the condition of cultural heritage objects — the technical condition, the existence and completeness of the record documentation, the existence of protection obligations (6.2.7);

b) the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment — the dynamics relative to the baseline (6.2.4, 7.3.2);

c) the condition of the elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement according to the composition of 6.2.3; for the calculation of indicators, the analytical grouping of Annex B, B.1.3, may be used, and it does not replace the composition of paragraph 2 of Article 59 of Federal Law No. 73-FZ [1];

d) the condition of intangible cultural heritage — the number of active practices, the number of bearers, the spatial conditions of the transmission of practices, integration into educational and cultural programmes (4.3.5; 5.4.4, item e);

e) the investment readiness of heritage objects — the completeness of investment passports, the currency of protection documents (4.4.5);

f) the integration of heritage into functional processes — the share of heritage objects brought into economic use while social conditions are observed (4.4.4; 5.4.4, item h, 5.4.4, item i);

g) the building up of historical and cultural potential — the number of identified value attributes, the volume of advance studies (4.3.10; 5.4.4, item a).

Object indicators, including hotel lots, do not replace the sustainable development indicators (9.5.3).

12.2.5 Compatibility with standardized indicators

It is recommended that the indicators be related to the standardized indicators indicated in 5.7.3.

12.2.6 Indicators of the participation of interested parties

The indicator system includes indicators that reflect the quality and intensity of the participation of interested parties in the processes of implementation (4.2.4): the number and coverage of the formats of participation, the number and content of communications and proposals, the satisfaction of participants with the processes of implementation. Indicators of the development of the competence of interested parties in the field of sustainable development and the preservation of heritage are included (4.2.1; 5.2.3).

12.2.7 Indicators of the quality of governance

The indicator system includes indicators of the effectiveness of the implementation management system (Clause 11): the functioning of the coordinating body, the fulfilment of decisions, the keeping of minutes, cross-sector coordination (11.4), budget control (11.3.4), support for implementer initiatives (11.2.5), the satisfaction of interested parties with the activity of the management system. The indicators of the quality of governance are linked to the formalized assessments of the activity of governing bodies that are in force on the date of development of the documentation (4.5.9).

12.2.8 Requirements for indicators

Monitoring indicators shall be limited in number, clear and informative; measurable, accurate and verifiable; reproducible and objective; economically reasonable to calculate; linked to available data sources (6.9.2).

For each indicator the following are determined:

a) the baseline value from the baseline (12.1.4);

b) the target value by time horizons: short-term, medium-term, long-term (5.5.1, item d);

c) the periodicity of measurement;

d) the data source;

e) the method of calculation;

f) the person responsible for the collection of data.

The indicator system is formed in accordance with Annex B. Special calculation formulae are given in accordance with B.3.2; other methods are given in the indicator passport under B.3.1.2. Quantitative indicators are applied alongside historical and cultural analysis and expert assessment and do not replace the state historical and cultural expert review (4.3.6).

12.3 Collection of data and analysis of indicators

The collection of data and the analysis secure basing on factual data (4.5.6) and the monitoring of trends (4.5.3). The data format of 6.9, the information system of 11.6 and the recommended digital twin of 11.6.5 are used. The credibility, currency and completeness of the monitoring data are ensured (6.1.1).

12.3.1 Sources of monitoring data

The data for the calculation of monitoring indicators are obtained from the following sources:

a) official statistical data;

b) data of information systems, including GISOGD, FGIS TP and FGIS EDPP NSPD (11.6.2);

c) data of geographic information layers (11.6.3);

d) where a territorial digital twin exists — the data of the digital twin (11.6.5);

e) data of the monitoring of the condition of cultural heritage objects, including digital passports (11.6.7, item a) and the record documentation;

f) data of surveys, consultations and feedback from interested parties, including through the service for collecting opinions and proposals (11.6.5, item f);

g) data of expert surveys and of an independent assessment of the implementation of measures (12.5.3);

h) data of environmental monitoring as a factor of the condition of the historic environment (7.6.3).

For each indicator a specific data source is indicated. Climatic parameters are not singled out as a separate mandatory group of indicators.

12.3.2 Periodicity of the collection of data

The periodicity of the collection of data is determined for each indicator and is recorded in the regulation on the collection of data (12.8.1, item b). The recommended periodicity is: output indicators — quarterly; outcome indicators — annually; impact indicators — once every 3–5 years. Strategic outcome indicators are assessed annually. For indicators the data for which are formed in an automated mode through the information system (11.6), continuous or more frequent collection is ensured. The periodicity of the integrated assessment of the achievement of the sustainable development objectives is linked to the horizons of the documents of strategic planning (10.2.6).

12.3.3 Digital tools for the collection and processing of data

The information system for implementation management (11.6) is used for the automated collection, storage, processing and provision of monitoring data. Where a territorial digital twin exists (11.6.5), it is used for the same purposes. Monitoring data that admit spatial localization are referenced to a single spatial model of the territory in accordance with 11.6.3. Where a digital twin exists, tools for the loading, updating and quality control of data are applied, including automated checks for duplication and outliers (11.6.5, item i). Where a digital twin exists, the monitoring data are published in its interface with a differentiation of access rights (11.6.5, item g).

12.3.4 Monitoring of trends and of the key factors of the scenarios

In addition to the monitoring of the achievement of the targets, monitoring of the trends, tendencies and key factors used in forming the scenarios is ensured (4.5.3; 8.5): technological (7.8.1), social and demographic (7.8.2), economic (7.8.3), and environmental as a factor of the condition of the historic environment (7.6.3). The monitoring of trends secures feedback with a changing reality and the adaptability of the documentation to a change of priorities (4.1.3). The making of changes shall imply not only the adjustment of existing instruments, but also the development of new ones. The monitoring system provides for the modelling of the reaction of territorial and sectoral systems to new trends (4.5.3) through the capabilities of the information system (11.6.6).

At least once a year, formats of participation of interested parties aimed at identifying new key factors are ensured (12.3.6). The specific form of participation is not prescribed by this clause.

12.3.5 Analysis of dynamics and identification of deviations

The analysis of the monitoring data includes:

a) comparison of the actual values of the indicators with the target values and the baseline values;

b) assessment of the dynamics of the indicators over time;

c) identification of deviations from the target values;

d) identification of the causes of deviations, using two levels of diagnostics (7.1.3): a description of the state and the identification of the causes of the state;

e) analysis of the variability of the indicators in order to identify systemic problems;

f) formation of recommendations on corrective and preventive actions.

Where targets are systematically not achieved, the analysis is aimed at establishing whether the cause is the ineffectiveness of the measures, the insufficiency of resources, the inadequacy of the target values or a change in external conditions. The method of analysis of Clause 7 is not reproduced by this clause.

12.3.6 Participation of interested parties in monitoring

Interested parties are engaged in the processes of monitoring (4.2.4). The groups of interested parties identified under 5.2.1 participate, including the bearers of intangible cultural heritage. Feedback is collected through the service for collecting opinions and proposals (11.6.5, item f), surveys, consultations and other formats. The collection of data on residents' perception of the quality of the living environment, on satisfaction with the progress of implementation and on the perception of the authenticity of the historic environment is ensured (6.4.5). The results of the participation of interested parties are part of the monitoring data and of the evidence base. The development of the competence of interested parties (4.2.1) is regarded as a condition of the quality of their participation in monitoring. In mode A, civic monitoring should be included in the procedure for monitoring the implementation of the master plan.

12.4 Monitoring of the preservation of cultural heritage

The requirements of this subclause are applied at the stage of monitoring and secure continual control of the condition of the historic settlement (4.3.1, 4.3.2). The protocols for the protection of heritage during implementation (10.5), the iterative assessment under 7.12 (10.5.2), the quality matrix (10.5.3) and the requirements of the management system for heritage (11.7) are used.

12.4.1 Monitoring of the condition of cultural heritage objects

Regular monitoring of the technical condition of cultural heritage objects and of the elements of the subject of protection of the historic settlement is ensured. Monitoring is carried out using the digital passports of cultural heritage objects (11.6.7, item a) and geographic information layers (11.6.7, item c). The sources of data are the record documentation and the results of the monitoring of the technical condition of cultural heritage objects.

The indicators of condition monitoring include the technical condition of structures and materials, the preservation of the subject of protection of the object, the identified threats and factors of adverse effect, and the fulfilment and currency of protection obligations. The periodicity of condition monitoring is determined for each object, taking into account the degree of vulnerability and the presence of active threats. For objects located in the zone of implementation of the measures of the plan, monitoring is carried out with an increased periodicity.

12.4.2 Monitoring of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment

Tracking of the dynamics of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment relative to the baseline is ensured (6.2.4, 7.3.2). The assessment is carried out by the parameters of 6.2.4. The monitoring of authenticity covers all the items of the subject of protection of the historic settlement according to the composition of 6.2.3. The results are a mandatory part of the integrated monitoring reports (12.5.4, item b). The assessment procedure of 7.3.2 is not reproduced by this clause.

12.4.3 Iterative assessment of effects and of impact during monitoring

The assessment under 7.12 is carried out iteratively at the stage of monitoring (7.12.1, 7.12.2, 10.5.2, 11.7.4).

At the stage of monitoring the following are ensured:

a) tracking of the condition of the elements of the subject of protection and of the indirect conditions affecting the subject of protection and the historic environment;

b) control of compliance with the mitigation measures established on the basis of the results of the assessment under 7.12;

c) comparison of the actual effects with the forecast of the assessment;

d) formation of a management response in the event of deviations.

Where unforeseen adverse effects are identified, the mitigation hierarchy is applied (4.3.6). The results of the iterative assessment under 7.12 are the source data for reactive monitoring (12.4.4) and a ground for updating the implementation plan (10.9.2).

12.4.4 Reactive monitoring of heritage

Where threats to cultural heritage objects or to the subject of protection of the historic settlement are identified, reactive monitoring is activated. The grounds are emergency situations, unforeseen effects of construction work, a critical deterioration of the technical condition, a breach of the protection regimes, and finds during earthworks (10.5.1, 11.7.3).

Reactive monitoring includes:

a) an extraordinary assessment of the condition of the object or of the element of the subject of protection;

b) formation of a report for the coordinating body (11.2.1), with a description of the threat, of the scale of the effect and of the recommendations;

c) involvement of an independent assessment under 7.12;

d) formation of corrective actions, including the suspension of measures with a critical effect (10.5.2);

e) activation, where necessary, of the plan of response to a substantial adverse change in external conditions (10.7.2).

Reactive monitoring is activated by a decision of the coordinating body when the grounds indicated in this clause arise.

12.4.5 Monitoring of intangible cultural heritage

Tracking of the viability of the intangible cultural heritage of the territory is ensured: practices, ways of life, crafts, traditions, the historical experience of the development of the territory (4.3.5; 5.4.4, item e). The effectiveness of the measures for preserving the spatial conditions of the transmission of practices is assessed (9.5.5).

The monitoring indicators include the number of active practices and of their bearers, the preservation of the places, routes and public spaces of occurrence, the integration of intangible heritage into educational, cultural and economic programmes, and the use of historical experience in forming the brand of the territory (4.4.3). Monitoring is carried out with the participation of the communities, groups and individuals who are bearers of the corresponding practices, including when threats to the viability of the practices are identified. Intangible heritage is not reduced exclusively to tourism and to other kinds of activity oriented towards the extraction of income.

12.4.6 Monitoring of the load and of the social conditions of bringing objects into use

Monitoring of the effect of tourism activity on cultural heritage objects and on the historic environment is ensured. The risks of exceeding the load under 4.3.11 and the indicators of Annex B (B.2.1.6, B.2.2.2; 7.5.3; 5.4.4, item h) are tracked. The monitoring indicators include the volume and seasonality of tourist flows, the effect on the technical condition of objects, the effect on the everyday life of the local community, and the condition of tourist infrastructure.

The bringing of objects into economic use is checked under 5.4.4, item i), and 11.7.5. Where the permissible load is exceeded or an adverse effect on heritage and the community is identified, corrective actions are formed. The results are taken into account in the updating of the implementation plan (10.9) and of the project solution (9.14).

12.5 Assessment of the effectiveness of measures and reporting

The assessment of effectiveness secures basing on factual data (4.5.6), continual improvement (4.5.8) and management on the basis of impact indicators (4.5.7). The quality matrix is used (9.12.1). Formats of feedback to the implementation plan (10.9), the management system (11.9), the project solution (9.14), the vision (8.10) and the objectives (5.7.2) are ensured.

12.5.1 Assessment of effectiveness by levels of indicators

The assessment of the effectiveness of the measures implemented is carried out by the three levels of indicators (12.2.1):

a) the degree of implementation of the measures — fulfilment of the schedule, the use of financing, the number of measures implemented;

b) the achievement of the target states of the territory — a change in the provision of service facilities, in accessibility, in connectivity and in the condition of the historic environment;

c) the effect on the quality of life and on the state of heritage — the dynamics of residents' satisfaction, of social cohesion, of the authenticity and integrity of the environment, and of the parameters of the environment.

Priority is given to the assessment of the effect on systems and states, and not to the degree of fulfilment of the measures that have been laid down. The assessment is formed relative to the baseline (12.1.4) and to the target values of the indicators. Comparison of the actual and target values is carried out for each time horizon (5.5.1, item d).

12.5.2 Assessment against the quality matrix

The quality matrix of the project solution (9.12.1) is applied at the stage of operation of the measures implemented. The quality indicators include the preservation of the value characteristics of heritage and of the historic environment, the accessibility of cultural heritage objects, the participation of communities, and environmental and social indicators (10.5.3). Control of the conformity of the measures implemented with the quality indicators is ensured by the coordinating body (11.2.1) with the involvement of the expert council (11.2.2). The assessment against the quality matrix is carried out for measures that have passed the acceptance stage.

It is recommended that the quality of interventions in the historic environment be checked against the criteria of the quality of the built environment (9.5.7). The assessment under 7.12 is not replaced by the quality matrix (12.4.3).

12.5.3 Independent assessment of the implementation of measures

At the key stages of monitoring, an independent assessment of the implementation of measures may be carried out if this is provided for in the assignment for monitoring:

a) an assessment of the conformity of the measures implemented with the sustainable development objectives and with the quality requirements;

b) for measures on historic territories — an assessment of the conformity of the measures with the principles and requirements for the preservation of heritage (4.3.6, 10.5), taking into account the results of the assessment under 7.12 (12.4.3);

c) an assessment by cultural, technical, social, economic and environmental aspects.

The independent assessment is documented and is part of the evidence base for the quality of implementation. It is recommended that an independent assessment of the implementation of measures for the integrated assessment be engaged with a periodicity of once every 3–5 years, coinciding with the periodicity of the integrated reports (12.5.4, item b). For measures of a smaller scale, a simplified assessment may be used, while the independence of the assessment is preserved.

12.5.4 Periodic reporting

Regular monitoring reports are formed:

a) an annual report — output and outcome indicators, the status of measures, the use of financing, the deviations identified, the corrective actions taken, the results of the monitoring of trends and of key factors;

b) an integrated report on the achievement of the sustainable development objectives — formed once every 3–5 years, and including impact indicators, an assessment of the authenticity and integrity of the historic environment, the results of the independent assessment of the implementation of measures, an assessment of the effectiveness of the management system, the results of the monitoring of trends, and recommendations on the updating of objectives and measures;

c) thematic reports — on individual fields of Clause 4, territories or groups of measures, formed by a decision of the coordinating body.

The reports are addressed to the coordinating body (11.2.1), the expert council (11.2.2), the authorized body and interested parties (11.5). The annual report is considered at the strategic level of the management of implementation (11.2.1). The specific form of the report is not prescribed by this clause. The data are presented, among other forms, as digital tables and visualizations of the information system. In mode A the time frames of the reports coincide with the time frames of reporting on the implementation of the master plan.

12.5.5 Public reporting

A public version of the monitoring reports is formed — an accessible presentation of the results for the target groups (4.4.2, 4.5.10; 8.9.2). The public version is updated with the periodicity of the annual report. Where a digital twin exists, it is recommended that the public version be accompanied by a visualization in its interface (11.6.5). The monitoring data are published in open access in machine-readable formats (11.6.8).

12.5.6 Feedback from monitoring to management

The results of monitoring are mandatory source data for:

a) the updating of the implementation plan (10.9);

b) the adjustment of the management system (11.9);

c) the review of the sustainable development objectives (5.7.2);

d) the review of the vision of territorial development (8.10);

e) the review of the project solution (9.14);

f) the updating of the master plan (mode A) or of the documents of territorial planning (mode B) in the procedure of 10.6, while the key indicators of those documents are preserved;

g) the updating of the documentation of the historic settlement (Annex D, D.9.6).

Closure of the cycle is ensured: plan, do, check, act (11.1.3). The results of the check form the grounds for action. The systematic failure to achieve the targets, confirmed by the monitoring data, is an unconditional ground for updating the corresponding measures. Achievement of the targets earlier than the planned time, or systematic over-fulfilment, is a ground for raising the ambition of the objectives (5.7.2).

12.6 Data-based management and forecasting

Data-based management secures basing on factual data (4.5.6), the integrated assessment and the inertial forecast (4.5.2), the continuity of the process (4.1.3) and the taking into account of technological changes and trends (4.5.3). The capabilities of the information system (11.6.6) and of the digital twin (11.6.5) are used.

12.6.1 Data-based management

The monitoring data are used for the taking of management decisions by the coordinating body (11.2.1). The information system (11.6) provides for the presentation of the data in formats convenient for decision-making: visualizations of the key indicators, visualizations of the dynamics, analytical reports, cartographic presentations. Where targets are systematically not achieved, corrective actions are formed, with an indication of the time frames and of those responsible. Where the targets are achieved, the possibility of redistributing resources to fields with insufficient dynamics is assessed.

12.6.2 Modelling, forecasting and comparison of the forecast with the fact

The information system (11.6.6) and the territorial digital twin (11.6.5) provide for the possibility of:

a) modelling the reaction of the territory to alternative management decisions;

b) forecasting the dynamics of the indicators if current tendencies continue, by analogy with the inertial forecast of 7.9;

c) modelling the consequences of a change in trends (4.5.3);

d) modelling urban-planning decisions by volumes, types of investment and sources of financing (4.4.7);

e) forming a forecast of a change in the assessments of the provision of the population with service facilities under scenarios of a change in the composition of infrastructure facilities, of the population or of accessibility parameters (11.6.5, item e).

Expected values and actual values are stored separately; the fact does not replace the forecast. At the end of a phase or at a control point, the forecast of the effect of the measures is compared with the actual changes. The results of the comparison are the source data for the assessment of implementation and the ground for retaining or adjusting the measures. The normative constraints of heritage protection are not lowered on the basis of the results of the comparison.

12.7 Continual improvement and adjustment of objectives

Continual improvement secures the implementation of principles 4.5.8 and 4.1.3. Monitoring is an element of the cycle: plan, do, check, act (11.1.3). The link with the mechanisms of adaptability of the vision (8.10), of the project solution (9.14), of the implementation plan (10.9) and of the management system (11.9) is ensured.

12.7.1 Cycle of continual improvement

The results of monitoring secure the check phase and form the grounds for the act phase. Continual improvement includes:

a) adjustment of the measures of the implementation plan where deviations have been identified;

b) review of the target values of the indicators in the event of achievement, of systematic non-achievement or of systematic over-fulfilment;

c) development of the monitoring system: extension of the composition of indicators, an increase in periodicity, the introduction of new instruments;

d) development of the competence of the participants in monitoring.

Updating implies not only the adjustment of existing instruments, but also the development of new ones (4.1.3).

12.7.2 Grounds for the adjustment of objectives and measures

The grounds for adjustment are:

a) the systematic non-achievement of targets according to the results of periodic monitoring;

b) the achievement of targets earlier than the planned time, or systematic over-fulfilment, as a ground for raising ambition (5.7.2);

c) the results of the monitoring of trends that have revealed new challenges or opportunities (4.5.3);

d) the results of the reactive monitoring of heritage (12.4.4) that have revealed unforeseen threats;

e) feedback from interested parties (12.3.6);

f) the results of the implementation of pilot projects (9.9.3, 10.2.5);

g) a substantial change in the key factors of the scenarios, making the target scenario and the vision no longer current.

The grounds for adjustment are linked to the grounds for updating the implementation plan (10.9.2), the management system (11.9.2), the project solution (9.14.2), the objectives (5.7.2) and the vision (8.10.2). Where the key factors change substantially, a new cycle of documentation is formed, and not only a cosmetic amendment of the documents in force. In mode A the adjustment is drawn up as an amendment of the master plan or of the list of measures for its implementation.

12.7.3 Check of the configuration of the monitoring system

A periodic check of the configuration of the monitoring system under 12.1.7 is ensured. The check covers the completeness of the composition of the indicators relative to the objectives refined on the basis of the analysis results, the sufficiency of the periodicity, the quality of the data, the operability of the information system and the participation of interested parties. This clause does not establish a maturity scale. The results of the check form a plan for the development of the monitoring system, which is included in the implementation plan (10.9).

12.8 Requirements for the documentation of monitoring

The documentation of monitoring secures transparency (4.5.10), reproducibility, the continuity of the time series and the source data for the updating of Clauses 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11. The documentation of monitoring is drawn up by analogy with the documentation of 8.9, 9.13, 10.8 and 11.8.

12.8.1 Composition of the documentation of monitoring

The monitoring system is documented as comprising:

a) a description of the indicator system, with the methods of calculation in accordance with Annex B;

b) the regulation on the collection of data: periodicity, sources, those responsible, quality-control procedures;

c) report templates: annual, integrated, thematic;

d) the results of the monitoring of trends and of key factors;

e) the annual and integrated monitoring reports;

f) the data of the reactive monitoring of heritage;

g) the results of the check of the configuration of the monitoring system (12.7.3);

h) the results of the comparison of the forecast with the fact (12.6.2).

The documentation is stored in the information system (11.6) and makes it possible to analyse time series.

12.8.2 Traceability of the results of monitoring

Each monitoring indicator is traced to a measure of the implementation plan (Clause 10), a measure of the project solution (Clause 9), a sustainable development objective (5.4.2–5.4.4), a problem field (7.13) and a principle (Clause 4). The chain of traceability is ensured: "monitoring indicator — measure of the plan — measure of the project solution — objective — problem field — principle" (10.8.3). The results of monitoring are documented as part of the evidence base (7.13.3) and are used in the updating of the documentation.

12.8.3 Structured results

The results of this Clause that are included in its documentation are presented as structured data in a machine-readable form (8.9.5).

12.9 Adaptability of the monitoring system

The adaptability of the monitoring system is secured by the mechanism of review and updating of objectives under 5.7 (the PDCA cycle, the grounds for review), with the particulars established in 12.9.1–12.9.3.

12.9.1 Cycle of review of the monitoring system

It is recommended that the review of the configuration of the monitoring system be carried out with a periodicity of once every 3–5 years, coinciding with the periodicity of the integrated assessment (12.5.4, item b). Updating may include a review of the composition of the indicators, a change in the periodicity of the collection of data, the introduction of new digital tools, an extension of the coverage of monitoring and a change in the formats of reporting. Updating implies not only the adjustment of existing procedures, but also the development of new ones.

12.9.2 Grounds for updating the monitoring system

The grounds for updating the monitoring system are the events indicated in 5.7.2 for the review of objectives, and also a change in the configuration of the monitoring system under 12.1.7, the appearance of new data sources or digital tools, the results of the check of the configuration (12.7.3), a change in the reporting requirements, and the updating of the documentation of the historic settlement on the basis of the results of monitoring (Annex D, D.9.6).

12.9.3 Securing continuity

When the monitoring system is updated, the continuity of the time series of data is ensured in order to preserve the possibility of assessing the dynamics. The loss of previously accumulated monitoring data shall not be permitted. When the methods of calculation of indicators are changed, the historical values are recalculated by the new method where this is technically possible, or a parallel calculation by the old and the new methods is carried out during the transition period. When the composition of the indicators is reviewed, the indicators that are excluded are retained in the archive of the information system. The results of the updating are documented, with an indication of the grounds for the changes made. When a review is carried out, the engagement of interested parties is ensured (12.3.6).
