This study aims to investigate effects of World Heritage Listing on heritage places and to analyze possible reasons and impacts of change after inscription on a selected heritage place. In the selected case of 'Pergamon and its Multi-Layered Cultural Landscape', two consequent surveys were conducted, before and after the inscription containing the same set of information on the physical, functional and socio-economic features of the heritage place.
