It is affected by geographic location. This heritage consisting of: traditions (fisheries, maritime, coastal crafts, folklore); coastal living cultural heritage (clothes, household items, food recipes), the region’s economic development history, which has influenced the cultural development processes (international trade), the region’s military history which historically often determines the dominant role and thus its culture of any nation.
