And the concept of raising the barrier around the settlement must have been initiated. This might have triggered the idea of constructing ramparts fortifications around towns thathave been found out during recent archaeological excavations took place in 2010. The Land forts which has existed withinthe political boundary of the Marath wada region are typical examples of military architecture of the medieval period. Despite their significant history most of them are isolated in the core city area rarely visited by tourists locals.

Heritage policies, cultural events, active participation of the locals and visitors, and facility management will be the main components of this framework. A comprehensive framework for four such identified cases has been designed and the outcome of the framework will be helpful for policymakers, urban designers conservation architects.
