This paper examines the particularities of the preparation of special plans of Širvėta regional park and provides planning solutions. After an applied analysis of the regional park has been performed, it is advisable to grant the following status for the discovered new nature valuables: a nature monument – for Lukšiškės dry valley; an object of nature heritage, protected by the State – for Sėtikis ridge; an object of nature heritage, protected by the municipality – for the island and the hill of the bay of Lake Kančioginis. It is recommended to grant the status of an object of cultural heritage for the village of Kulniškės. It is necessary to intensify the protection and management of the hills of Nevaišiai with the prospects to integrate this geomorphologically significant territory to Širvėta regional park in the future. Also the analysis has shown that the boundaries of the park are not optimal. During the optimization of the boundaries of the park, the economic territories in the northern and western part have been forfeited. Also the territories of the sanctuaries are clarified by merging the sanctuaries of Šventa and Pailgis villages and the landscape sanctuary of Kulniškės into one unit – the landscape sanctuary of Šventa. Considering the nature situation, the boundaries of Širvėta landscape sanctuary and Ilgis hydrographical sanctuary are being changed. Evaluating the recreational potential it is scheduled to increase the number and area of recreational zones suggesting new recreational zones of Beržuvis, Aidukai, Stanislavavas, Dvarykščiai, Merkmenai and Ilgis. It is necessary to remove and recultivate the derelict buildings from the park and the peripheries as well as the household waste sites. Developing the recreational net in Širvėta regional park, it is necessary to pay the most attention for the installation of cognitive tourism routes. The process of planning has revealed that it is necessary to improve the document of the typical protection regulations of protected territories by presenting a more flexible system of landscape management. The State Protected Areas Service under the Ministry of Environment should pay more attention not only for the preparation of management plans, but for their implementation as well. The experience of the preparation of special plans of Širvėta regional park shows that it is advisable to return to the former single scheme of planning, which would cover the issues of boundaries, zones and management and which would be provided with the common governmental affirmation level. This would increase the possibilities to implement those plans.

Master's thesis topic is relevant because a successful municipality and its socio-economic partners in the EU regional policy are conditioned not only by socio-economic development goals and objectives of the possession, but also by their implementation and strategic actions. Despite the fact that municipalities already have strategic plans for the development and implementation experience, there is still insufficient use of the opportunities offered by. A very real issue remains not only poor stakeholder's participation in the planning process, but different requirements for the same kind of documents. While one part of the municipalities thinks that the main obstacle for the implementation of the strategic plans is lack of financial recourses, experience shows that it is appropriate to draw attention to the municipal employees responsible for the strategic planning function in this process. It is necessary to pay more attention to their training, capacity building so that employes of municipalities would be able to prepare strategical plans by themselves. The main goal - explore the development of a strategic planning peculiarities in Kaunas district municipality.

EU structural funds support and other financial support from EU to member countries is an effective tool for regional economical development. The major obstacle in Lithuania is the fact that not always EU support to Lithuanian regions is imbibed effectively. As a result, positive effect and expected results are not achieved. The research data published in this article helped to reveal the essential obstacles, which prevent the Lithuanian regional policy from becoming stronger and more competitive in the context of economically developed EU regions.

It is hard to find today's human untouched, unchanged natural heritage, nevertheless we treet cultural heritage differently. Identifying places with both cultural and natural values, giving them equal attention, we are going to to more integrated approache of protected territories, as cultural landscapes. This work speeks about the satisfaction of this demand trought the fixation of cultural landscapes protection. Political and scholarly acceptance of landscape level protection claim for new planning means, which wood be related with broader territorial formations, land territories, not restricted of specific places. Cultural and natural heritage in the sense of cultural environment are explored in their trritorial context and environment. For this reason, practical site of such protection includes not only heritage management specialist, but also their colleagues in the system of regional/ territorial development, urban planning and environmental management. New ideas of heritage management give rise at first in the beginning of XX century in the context of modern conservation doctrine development. Through Heimatschutz movement arose the significance of places created by humans and nature, what is perceived as crucial element of regional identity. Just after 50 years this importance was accepted on the legal basis and in practice. It's important to note, that through Galicia, a Poland's part, occupied by Austria, those ideas reached territory of present Lithuanian country- Vilnius region, however had'nt left remarcable traces in the development of theory and practice of heritage protection. This topic was raised again in the 7 th- 8th decade of XX century. A period of 1960- 1970 years marks the beginning of modern conceptualisation of integrated and regional heritage management. Those changes are seen on international level of heritage management system. Convention remindes ways how people interact with nature and express main goal- protect their harmonious relations. This international treaty established a unique international instrument for recognizing and protecting both the cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value. In 1992 UNESCO World Heritage Committee adopted three categories of cultural landscape to be integrated into their operational guidelines, the World Heritage Convention became the first international legal instrument to recognize and protect cultural landscapes of outstanding universal value. Second international organisation related with the formation of integrated heritage management- IUCN (The World Conservation Union - main inspectional organisation activ in the protection of natural categories. Recently it recognised significance of cultural aspects in the protection of natural territories. In 1994 IUCN adopted Guidelines for Protected Area Management Categories. For a long time model of protected areas was based on nature conservation without human activities. Today there is also need for strict preservation territories, but protected areas approach has to be broader. Such approach is represented by UNESCO Cultural landscapes and IUCN V-th Category of Protected areas. Here integrated heritage management is related with social and economical development of societies. Cultural and natural resources management in local areas, regions influences cooperation between various sectors. The main goal is sustainable development, inclusion of local communities in heritage management process. In local level heritage is important for local people, as background for their identity. This can be elucidated in ecomuseum model – as embodying of integrity and regional aspects in heritage management.
