Introduction - Overview of selected parks This document has the objective to present a socio-historical overview of the role of the HICAPS historical castle parks in the past and their current role in the modern society. Following the suggestion of the Fondazione Villa Ghigi, coordinator of the related workpackage, the project partners have agreed a common framework to collect information, presented in Annex A. The form has been completed by all the partners that are going to run a pilot action in their historical parks, i.e. all the project partners but Petit Philosophy and the University of Ljubljana. The collected forms prepared by the involved partner organisations are also presented in Annex A. Together with a general introduction to the park, its location and general purpose, each local report details: • the history of the park, and the main events occurred during its life; • how the park got to the present situation; • a short description of its biodiversity features, together with a presentation of existing flora and fauna, and an overview of naturalist elements and protected species; • the services currently offered by the park, plans for new ones; • a description of key target groups; • a presentation of educational activities, materials and tools developed and used for attracting different categories of users; • a list of publications presenting the park; • the expected exploitation plans over the next 3 to 5 years, as well as a description of other parks and gardens in the surrounding area that can take benefits from the outputs of the HICAPS project. In the following chapters, a brief overview of the key characteristics is presented, with the objective to show the variety and richness of the cultural and natural heritage of the HICAPS partnerships, as well as highlight the key directions that the project will follow to improve the fruition and the accessibility of the selected parks. In particular the analysis has been run on the following locations: • Park of the Castle of Gornja, Bedekovčina (Croatia) • Walk Lane of Josip Juraj Strossmayer, Varaždin (Croatia) • Linear Park of the Este Walls , Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) • Villa Ghigi Park, Bologna, Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) • Parks in Lubostroń, Kłobka and Szafarnia, Kujawsko-Pomorskie (Poland) • Łańcut Park, Rzeszow (Poland) • Historical Castle Park, Ptuj (Slovenia) • Historical Castle Park, Velenje (Slovenia) It must be underlined that, while all the other partners have already identified one single historical park where the activities planned by the HICAPS will be mainly piloted, the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship, due to its regional responsibility, has identified three potential areas suitable for the activities run by the project. The final pilot area will be indicated based on further analysis planned for Kujawsko-Pomorskie historical parks. D.T2.2.1: Socio-historical overview report on historical parks 3 The following map presents the geographical location of the parks. D.T2.2.1: Socio-historical overview report on historical parks 4 It can be useful to start this report with a comparative table, summarising the general characteristics of each partner area, with the objective to present a synoptic image of the similarities and differences of the HICAPS parks, according to four main characteristics: • cultural and historical heritage • typology and biodiversity features • status • services and educational activities Country Name of the park Historical buildings Characteristics of the Status Services, educational activities park (creation, (protected) Region / City Location Period biodiversity, conditions) Croatia Historical castle park Castle of Gornja 6,5 ha Protected as No services offered by the park; no of Upper Bedekovčina Bedekovčina monument of educational activities Bedekovčina Surrounding the castle park On the hill of the Baroque manor Donja architecture town Bedekovčina. since 1965 Croatia Walk Lane of Josip Renaissance fort Park surrounding the Not protected No services offered (activities organised Juraj Strossmayer fort. time to time by the city museum or Varaždin Hosting the city museum tourist office); no educational activities Varaždin city centre Decorative garden nor materials. developed since 1750 The park is used by tourists as a walk Biodiversity: coniferous, path from the bus parking and the perennials tree solitaires Castle; by citizens for sport and free deciduous time.
