World Heritage nominations that extend beyond the borders of one or more countries are defined as transboundary heritage sites. With the emergence of the concept of Transboundary Heritage, UNESCO World Heritage List has started to address more universal nominations with outstanding value, while looking beyond the borders of countries. This new process includes identifying, developing, presenting and preserving the common heritage of countries through international cooperation. The aim of this study is to determine the basic principles for the identification, presentation, development and protection of natural and cultural transboundary and transnational serial heritage sites at international, regional and national levels, and to propose an evaluation model for potential transboundary or transnational serial heritage proposals. The scope of this study is to examine Transboundary Heritage as a concept and put forward the potential of İğneada, which is a part of Strandzha Region. The research argues the need for a new definition for heritage management approaches, and new criteria for the identification and evaluation of transboundary heritage sites. The case study further aims to demonstrate Turkey's serial heritage potential through cooperation projects by the States Parties. The case study focuses on this transformation by putting forward an integrated conservation and management approach.
