abstract = "The growing perception of heritage as a public commodity encourages rural communities
to recognize their natural and cultural heritage as a potential for tourism development. This creates
the need for an appropriate presentation of heritage sites that ensures that their cultural and natural
assets are appreciated and protected. “Negotinske pivnice” are cultural heritage sites in Serbia,
nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage List. They are architectural complexes of wine cellars in
rural region with a long tradition in wine production and industry and are unique in terms of their
settlement structure. This emphasizes the spatial dimension of their interpretation and presentation,
and highlights the importance of urban design for their sustainable use for tourism. Based on
understanding urban design both as a process and a product, and cultural heritage site as a place, we
argue that participatory urban design contributes to appropriate heritage presentation by widening
design knowledge base to include local communities’ lay knowledge. Following the case study
methodology, we explored the relationships between participatory process, the knowledge gained,
and urban design solutions for presentation of cultural heritage sites as living places in “Wine Cellars
of Negotin Participatory Urban Design” project. The research reveals that the wider knowledge base
affects urban design at both strategic and project levels and sets the grounds for diverse presentation
forms through which harmonization of heritage protection and touristic presentation is possible.",
