In recent decades, the concept of cultural heritage has evolved into one that encompasses an understanding of the history of humanity, together with scientific knowledge and intellectual attitudes. This changing concept has prompted a subsequent reevaluation of what constitutes the outstanding universal values of World Heritage sites and the operational methods for implementing the UNESCO World Heritage Convention. The scope has broadened from studying a single monument in isolation to one that values a multidimensional, multiregional, and inter-disciplinary approach and encapsulates vast spans of human history, as demonstrated by the St. Andrew's Church, located within active landslide systems, Ukraine. Andrew's Church is a unique historical and architectural monument of the eighteenth century built in 1747-1762 by I. Michurin according to B. Rastrelli's design. Since 1968 St. Andrew's Church is a museum, branch of the "Sofiya Kyivska" National reserve, nationally significant site, number 14 St. Andrew's Church was built in Baroque style. The church is located on a hill situated on the top of the Andriivskyi Descent (one of the most ancient streets in the Ukrainian capital) in the central historical district of Kyiv. The ground level varies from 181.7 m (area around the church) to 118.5 m (foot of the hill). The slopes of the hill are dissected by a thick girder-netting network where landslide processes were actively developing and are developing with active movements and erosion processes. Around the development site there is a complex of unfavorable physical and geological phenomena such as landslides, considerable thickness of fill-up ground, significant ground heterogeneity, mechanical suffixation of clay particles into an existing inactive gallery, and external erosion of the hill massif. Based on visual inspection of the superstructure constructions, general technical condition of the above structures can be classified as follows: superstructure building - as unsuitable for normal operation; runway construction - as unsuitable for normal operation. The technical condition of St. Andrew's Church building was assessed as unsuitable for normal operation as a whole that caused an urgent need for geotechnical research and restoration work undertaking.
