The thematic axes of Culture of Place Conservation & Regeneration have been developed to structure the journal’s scope, guide the peer-review process, and clarify its areas of scholarly focus. These axes define the breadth of studies addressed by the journal in relation to theoretical, technological, and practice-oriented issues in the conservation and regeneration of historic and cultural places, and provide a framework for presenting problem-oriented and original research at different levels. The organization of these axes is intended to facilitate interaction between analytical approaches, practical experiences, and emerging scientific developments, while strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration across relevant fields of knowledge. The table below presents these thematic axes and the objectives of each in a systematic manner.
