Abstract :

Registering a work in the world heritage list will attract more attention from both experts and people. UNESCO and other international organizations related to historical and cultural monuments also provide their technical and scientific assistance to the owner country if needed. There is also a fund for financial support of world-registered historical works. In addition, in recent years, the registration of the spiritual and non-material heritage of nations has also received attention because the cultural heritage of a country is not limited to the material works left behind by its ancestors. Spiritual and immaterial culture and mental and intangible aspects of societies are equally important with material works.
