Summary

Kazakhstan's legal framework for protecting historical and cultural heritage, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi and the Saryarka steppe, is grounded in a system that recognizes such objects as both real estate and valuable artifacts tied to land. The study identifies three key aspects: their intrinsic link to land, their historical development, and their multifaceted cultural significance spanning archaeology, architecture, and ethnology. Through a large-scale inventory of 11,277 local monuments, the country has established comprehensive legal norms for rational use and protection, reflecting its commitment to preserving heritage as a state priority.
