Summary/Abstract: In the paper I analyze from ethnological point of view the processes of (re)construction of cultural heritage and traditions in local aspect as a culture politics and a mechanism for economic revival of undeveloped border regions, and as a way to sustainable local development. I pay attention to usage of cultural heritage as a resource for the touristic industry. I examine the contrast and balance between “bottom-up approach” and “up-bottom approach” The center of my interest is a concrete region – Municipality of Tran – where the use of culture heritage as a resource is still in inceptive stage: that will facilitate us to examine the processes in their progress.
