    Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Guests ! the Lithuanian National Committee

    Ladies and Gentlemen, dear guests ! The Lithuanian National Committee of ICOMOS welcomes the participants of this Forum! This year we celebrate the 20th years anniversary when Vilnius Historic Center as Old Town and 10th years of Kernave archaeological site inscribed into World Heritage List of UNESCO. 25 years ago there was prepared documentation for inscription Vilnius Old Town in the World Heritage List. Two factors helped for the preparation of the documentation: 1. the international information about Vilnius Old Town in the main magazine- “ICOMOS Information” in 1989, Nr. 2; 2. The preparation of the Third project for Vilnius Old Town regeneration. After Vilnius Historic Center has been inscribed to World Heritage List there were accepted the common means of UNESCO, World Bank and Lithuania for Vilnius Old Town revitalization. The result of common efforts worked out Vilnius Old Town Revitalization Strategy. The preparation of the Strategy was financed by World Bank and Vilnius Municipality. The international experts from Denmark, Great Britain (Scotland) worked together with Lithuanian specialists in the preparing the Strategy. In 1998, 1999, 2000 Lithuanian Government assigned the special means to Vilnius Municipality for revitalization of Vilnius Old Town. It helped to improve physical state of buildings and infrastructure of the Old Town. In 1998 Vilnius Municipality established Vilnius Old Town Renewal Agency and adopted the Vilnius Old Town revitalization program from 1998 till 2003. It was very important to prepare and confirm the Vilnius City Official Plans: from 1998- till 2005 and from 2008 till 2015. One of the most important objectives of the Vilnius Official Plan is preservation of Vilnius Old Town as a World Heritage Site.

    Heritage at Risk 2004/2005 Lithuania 167 LITHUANIA Wooden Architecture of Vilnius Historie Suburbs In the 2001-2002 edition of Heritage at Risk, the Lithuanian National Committee of ICOMOS mentioned wooden architecture in historic suburbs as the most endangered of several groups of cultural heritage items in Lithuania. The historic centre of Vilnius - Old Town - is inscribed on the World Heritage List, but the survival of the wooden architecture of the historic suburbs of Vilnius remains problematic. For the Vilnius historic suburbs - Uzupis, Zverynas, Antakalnis, Snipiskes, Markuciai - have grown as separate residential areas in the configuration of the town's centre. Wooden architecture has survived there unevenly. Old wooden buildings still dominate in large areas of Zverynas, Snipiskes and Markuciai. In Uzupis and Antakalnis, groups of wooden buildings or individual ones are interwoven with brick buildings surrounded by a new urban environment. V« The wooden architecture in Vilnius has survived from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, but it is very diverse typo- House in Pavasario Street logically as well as stylistically.

Spring water in Vilnius City: chemical composition and quality. Geologija. Vilnius. 2007. No. 60. P. 51–57. ISSN 1392–110X Linas Papievis The marginal moraine areas of continental glaciation are lithologically notable for great variations in surface deposits. If such Quaternary deposits are deeply cut by river valleys and ravines, their slopes and terraces make favourable conditions for groundwater to be exposed and to form springs. Most often such springs are of a falling type, i. e. water streams under the influence of gravitation. In the ancient times people used spring water for drinking and preparation of food, since it was clean and tasty. Such an image of spring water has remained up to the present days, although due to increased pollution of the environment, the water of such springs can be both good and bad. Regardless of this, people bring it to their homes thinking that spring water is of a better quality than that provided by the municipal water supply. Such practice is also widely exercised in Vilnius, where the geomorpho- logical conditions are favourable for springs to be formed. Therefore, Hydrology and Engineering Geol- ogy Department of Vilnius University have analysed the chemical composition of the city spring waters and assessed their quality in respect of the quality of water suitable for drinking. Key words: spring, groundwater, chemical composition, pollution Received 15 May 2007, accepted 05 July 2007 Vytautas Juodkazis, Linas Papievis.
  • Use of New Materials in a Restoration

    Use of New Materials in a Restoration

    Use of New Materials in a Restoration Alina Samukienė Architect – restorer, Design company “ARCHIVOLTAS”, Svencioniu str, 7 – 2, Vilnius 2014, Lithuania This article will present the subject from an architects’ point of view. Use of new materials in a restoration of cultural heritage objects is related with many problems. First of all – traditions, their physical and esthetical relations with authentic historic elements and materials. Each country had its specific building elements that did not change too much during the history. Continuity of their use is a necessary condition for restoration, renovation or the adoptation for the new use of heritage building or the building which is located in the visual influence zone. New economic relations and recreation of property rights changed the previous state controle of all heritage conservation works in the country. New financial resources appeared, and the state financing of conservation works became much smaller during the last decade. New immovable cultural property owners have their opinion regarding necessary repair or restoration works. This opinion not necessary corresponds with requirements of heritage conservation specialists. Together with new property owners new building contractors come and they are not aquinted with specific of heritage conservation works. During first years of Lithuanian independence (since 1990) it became clear that a lot of unqualified work and use of unsuitable materials should be controled by the introduction of special licenses (for building companies) and qualification certificates for architects-restorers and conservation experts. Now everybody who wants to work with cultural heritage objects has to attend special training course and then to get a qualification certificate.

The profile provides a description of the geography, population, and economy of Lithuania and compares its level of development, growth, and social welfare to that in Finland and Sweden. International comparisons, particularly for aggregate measures such as GNP, are difficult to make because of differences in definitions and methods used by various countries in compiling statistics. International currency exchange rates are deficient for this purpose because they do not reflect relative purchasing power of different currencies over the whole range of output of goods and services included in GNP.

The results of this work carried out by the Inter-Organisations Section at the OECD and Eurostat, with the assistance of the National Statistical Offices, are used to adjust the salaries of staff in the European Union institutions, the Co-ordinated Organisations¹ and other International Organisations. The method aims to compare the price of a basket of goods and services purchased by the average international officials in each of the places of employment with the price of the same basket in Brussels. Because of the importance of housing costs in the overall expenditure of a household, specific rent surveys are carried out annually through estate agencies. Rent prices are collected around mid-year for precise types of accommodation in pre-selected neighbourhoods. The information obtained, and that derived from similar surveys in earlier years, are used to determine the difference in rental levels for the same type of property between Brussels and each of the other places where the survey is done.

  • Revitalisation of Vilnius Old Town. Social and Economic Integration

    Revitalisation of Vilnius Old Town. Social and Economic Integration

    Revitalisation of Vilnius Old Town. Social and Economic integration. Audrone Kasperaviciene ICOMOS Lithuania, Vilnius Old Town Renewal Agency 1. Present situation Protection of cultural heritage causes a complex of problems in the countries under transition. It implicates vast range of cultural, legal, social problems, which have to be worked out every day. The need to counterbalance public and private interests, control cultural heritage protection process, follow international recommendations pointed out the lack of training and education of the cultural heritage decision-makers, officials and managers of all levels. Increasing role of the private sector and external financing clear up the situation when authorities are incapable of effectively guide ongoing process. In particular the inclusion of historic towns and cultural landscapes in specific categories of protection (e.g. region’s World Heritage Cities), made the role of authorities responsible for legislation, norms and planning decision crucial. Changes in Property Status after 1990 During Soviet Occupation time (1940-1990) the conservation of cultural heritage was realised as a necessary condition for the restoration of Lithuanian independence. Three Regeneration projects of Historic Centre were prepared during that period (1954; 1988 and 1992). The restoration of significant architectural monuments and complexes revealed many faded or damaged historical elements. In addition, parts of valuable buildings (churches, palaces, etc.) were not being used for their proper purposes; this reduced their authenticity, though in a physical sense the buildings survived. In the Soviet period, however, the government did not allot enough resources for the maintenance and repairs of housing, therefore, in 1990 - the period of the restoration of independence of the Lithuanian State - many of them were very dilapidated.
