Description of stakeholders
6.3 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Museum of Papermaking acting as the managing authority of the paper mill – being the subject of this management plan – cooperates with a great number of stakeholders in each of the aforementioned aspects.
Participatory management – when a large group of stakeholders is involved – should be beneficial in all of the said cooperation areas, which are of considerable importance for achieving objectives provided in the Management Plan. In the recommendations provid-ed herein – which concern identification of issues and analysis of stakeholders’ capabilities in terms protect-ing and usprotect-ing the site (recommendations concernprotect-ing organization of specific actions taken in cooperation with stakeholders) – these objectives are categorized in line with the structure of the Management Plan.
Recommendations on specific matters examined in the Management Plan:
Acquiring knowledge about the site – it is recom-mended to enlarge the group of stakeholders in this field. This should produce measurable results with regard to acquiring sound, extensive, and com-prehensive knowledge about the property and its values, improving the description of its attributes and assessing how much the property is authentic (including original elements of historical significan-ce) and integral. In Museum’s efforts to nominate the paper mill premises for inscription on UNESCO List, it is of considerable importance – apart from studying the paper mill more thoroughly – to in-tensify actions aimed at finding not only interna-tional experts and professionals but also legal and professional stakeholders from abroad, i.e. pro-spective partners for serial nomination. Moreover, it must be emphasised that the Museum is an im-portant centre for studying the history of paper-making – its library has the most extensive collec-tion of books on papermaking in Poland and the museum collections provide first-rate research ma-terial. The studies and analyses resulted in writing ten monographs and nearly 100 articles in the hi-story of Polish papermaking. In this context, such stakeholders as the Association of Polish Paperma-kers and papermaking and stationery companies (financing the studies) play a pivotal role.
The condition in which the subject premises and the areas surrounding them are preserved – gi-ven the outstanding historical value of the paper
mill premises, it is of utmost importance to provi-de them with the best protection possible and the highest quality of renovation, conservation, resto-ration, and adaptation works conducted in histo-ric buildings and their immediate surrounding. All works, especially the ones which may exert dele-terious effect on the elements of historical signi-ficance, should be preceded by analysing whether no negative impact will be exerted on attributes of place indicated in this Management Plan as well as on their authenticity and integrity. It is therefore advised to consult all actions taken in the subject premises and their immediate surrounding with a large group of ‘legal stakeholders’, i.e.: Regional Historic Preservation Officer for Lower Silesia, Re-gional Historic Preservation Office – Wałbrzych of-fice, Historic Preservation Council at Regional Hi-storic Preservation Officer for Lower Silesia, Natio-nal Heritage Board of Poland and its area office in Wrocław, and Regional Government Authority in Lower Silezia acting as the founding body of the Museum. It is called for cooperating with – at least the aforementioned – stakeholders when making decisions which may have an adverse impact on the premises of great historical significance as well as their values. It is also recommended to appoint independent external experts – not only in dispu-tes but also in the event of making controversial decisions and decisions being of utmost importan-ce for the operating activity of the museum and protection of the historical monument.
State and local protection and management sys-tem – due to their marginal impact on the state protection system, the recommendations con-cern the local system. What is of great importance in this field is cooperation with municipal autho-rities in terms of not only the subject and scope of protection provided under resolutions passed by the City Council – as part of the local land use plan in particular – but also possible chances of es-tablishing culture park. These local forms of pro-tection should complement and support protec-tion of broader landscape context whereby paying attention to outstanding values of the paper mill premises.
Threats and monitoring – monitoring is crucial for counteracting the existing and potential thre-ats – both in terms of the technical condition of the premises and preservation of their elements

of historical significance (given the identified attri-butes). In order to minimize and avoid the existing and possible threats, it is neccessary to stimulate cooperation between the stakeholders indicated in the table. Site monitoring should be system-ba-sed and conducted regularly by site manager, in collaboration with National Heritage Board of Po-land and its area office in Worcław, i.e. institution responsible – under the NHBP’s charter – for moni-toring, e.g. Polish Listed Monuments.
Presentation, Accessibility, Education, Tourism – the Museum of Papermaking cooperates with a great number of entities responsible for these areas. In order for the subject premises to operate proper-ly, it is sufficient to continue the existing coope-ration and take the recommendations provided in the Management Plan into account.
Use and development – in this area, a fairly wide group of stakeholders can be indicated. It seems, however, that particular attention should be paid to developing good cooperation between the Mu-seum of Papermaking and municipal government
authority of Duszniki Zdrój. Actions taken by rep-resentatives of local government are of considera-ble importance for development of the site and, in particular, areas surrounding it. Municipal govern-ment authority adopted Local Revival Programme and started to take actions provided there, which are of great importance for the use and devel-opment of the premises and its adjacent areas.
Therefore, it seems essential to develop and im-plement – in the course of cooperation between the Museum and municipal government authority – a coherent action plan aimed at achieving com-mon goals.
It is also recommended to continue cooperation with the papermaking and stationery industry be-ing a ‘natural’ base for the museum (the Museum of Papermaking was founded by paper industry entities who – for over 20 years – financed its ope-rations). The Museum, studying and popularizing papermaking traditions, is also advised to apply for greater support from private papermaking and stationery businesses.
