More and more frequently, one witnesses these days the appearance of
a new approach to historical cultural landscapes. Not only do they now embrace objects of historical and environmental value, but also the potential for local and regional development. However, such an understanding of historical cultural land-scapes, as a potential for local and regional development, necessitates additional instruments, plans, approaches, and methodologies.
The article presents an analysis of a landscape plan in Germany and a case study on the potential of historical cultural landscapes for local and regional de-velopment in Poland.
Conducted studies reveal the usefulness of activities for the protection of historical cultural landscapes in the context of land management. Such activities contribute to the improvement of landscape protection and conservation methods, taking into consideration their potential for local and regional development at the same time.
