In this context, one may state that between the local community and the heritage sights there is a special relationship which highlights the connection between present and past and generates values such as identity, traditions, belongingness, social cohesion, etc. Approaching the issues of cultural heritage built among the population of a community surfaces a series of perceptions, attitudes as well as opinions of the inhabitants in relation to them. © 2016 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.uk Keywords: Built cultural heritage; perceptions; attitudes; opinions; population; Dâmboviţa County. http://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2016.09.90
