This research monograph continues the study published in 2011 on the problems of developing master plans for the development of state historical and cultural reserves of Ukraine (Історико-культурні заповідники К., 2011). In accordance with the recent changes in the legislative framework, when master plans for the development of reserves were replaced by plans for the organization of their territories, this monograph summarizes the unique experience of the Research Institute of Monument Protection Research in developing plans for the organization of the territory of reserves as the main and extremely necessary scientific and project documentation that determines the functioning and further development of the National Kyiv-Pechersk Historical and Cultural Reserve in Kyiv, the National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve in Kyiv, the National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve in Kyiv, and the National Historical and Cultural Reserve in Kyiv.

The complexes of monuments in these reserves are of universal historical and cultural significance. In view of this, the purpose of developing plans for the organization of the territory of the reserves is to ensure the preservation of monuments and objects of cultural heritage, the traditional character of the environment, and their effective use for the cultural development of Ukrainian society. The study used theoretical research methods, including structural and genetic analysis and synthesis, methods of bibliographic, archival, cartographic, iconographic research, as well as empirical research methods: field research, comparison, and mapping. The results of this work are scientific and project documentation aimed at the preservation and optimal use of monuments and the traditional character of the environment of each of the reserves presented here. Therefore, this monograph, like the previous one, can serve as a methodological guide for the development of similar research and project documentation.

The publication is intended for historians of architecture and urbanism, art historians, cultural critics, historians, archaeologists, local historians, employees of reserves, museums, cultural heritage protection bodies, urban planning and architecture, students and teachers of educational institutions, activists of the Ukrainian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments, as well as anyone interested in the history and cultural heritage of Ukraine.
