Development of cities and local communities in light of chaos theory

Abstract

The influence of the degree of the preservation of cultural heritage, of which society is both the creator and consumer, is unquestionable. However, the manner in which society treats the past, especially its material traces in the form of architectural heritage, is of key importance to the perception of not only historical architecture, but especially the quality of the space of historical cities. Efforts aimed at improving the degree of preservation of historical structures that are not carried out in a methodical manner, can lead to results that indirectly arise from chaos theory, namely - in unintended changes in spatial structures, not necessarily of the positive kind.
