Development And Management

Development and management of heritage tourism attractions pose several challenges, such as lack of financial resources and political support. heritage sites and attractions often include numerous attributes (e.g., education, guided tours, shopping for local products) that can be provided at various levels of involvement and interest. however, the financial constraints of heritage tourism sites inhibit the ability to improve programs and services. The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the preferences of consumers and ambassadors (i.e., local tourism and community leaders) for improving management programs and services of the South Carolina National heritage Corridor using a choice modeling method. Both groups were generally in favor of developing more opportunities for local shopping, education/interpretation, and enhancing the cultural experience when visiting the South Carolina National heritage Corridor. however, ambassadors were more in favor of developing education/interpretation and the cultural experience compared to consumers. As agencies develop programs and services designed to increase visitation, preference information from different constituent groups are valuable to effectively decide what programs and services to develop.

Computer Based

The vast amounts of digital information stored in databases and other repositories represent a challenge for finding useful knowledge. Traditionalmethods for turning data into knowledge based on manual analysis reach their limits in this context, and for this reason, computer-based methods are needed. Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is the semi-automatic, nontrivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful, and understandable knowledge (in the form of patterns) in data (Fayyad, Piatetsky-Shapiro, Smyth & Uthurusamy, 1996). KDD is an iterative and interactive process with several steps: understanding the problem domain, data preprocessing, pattern discovery, and pattern evaluation and usage. For discovering patterns, Data Mining (DM) techniques are applied.

3D Database

The World Heritage Convention, drawn by various international bodies in 1972, was designed to protect cultural or natural places of outstanding universal value so that future generations may be able to enjoy them. Responding to these principles as well as to the Charter on the Preservation of Digital heritage (Vancouver, 2003), this multidisciplinary project, which involves archaeologists, art historians, conservators and computer scientists, aims to create an open access, 3D interactive online geo-database of endangered architectural and archaeological heritage in the South Eastern Mediterranean basin; a region of tremendous cultural importance whose rech heritage is unfortunately threatened by both natural and human factors. A wide range of 3D modelling and topographic techniques have been applied to create accurate reconstructions of heritage sites, enriched by a extensive array of metadata.

Knowledge Based

Innovations in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the development of global-knowledge- based economies are presenting higher-education institutions throughout the developing world with both opportunities and challenges. New opportunities for remotely located institutions are opening up, but the challenge is to ensure that these innovations can be utilized in a culturally appropriate manner at the local level. Despite a relatively low population base, the scattered geography of the South Pacific region has resulted in wide cultural variations between the different island groups. This makes the South Pacific an ideal region in which to explore the impact of cultural differences on online learning. This research investigates the opportunities offered by online learning; the focus is on the use of e-mail as a mechanism for encouraging Web-based interaction among students in two distance-education institutions with a culturally and geographically diverse student body.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce the South African Heritage Resources Information System (SAHRIS), developed by the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) in 2011. The paper aims to describe how SAHRIS facilitates online applications for heritage approval and/or permits for developments and research, fulfils SAHRA’s mandate as a repository for a national inventory of heritage sites and objects in the country, and serves as an integrated, responsive tool for reporting heritage crimes and tracking the progress of the resultant cases. The paper also aims to explain, simply, the application processes for each of these functions. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides an explanation of the design and functions of the system and outlines how each of the content types and applications are created. Findings – The system has improved the process of South African heritage resources management by decreasing the turnaround time for submissions to heritage authorities, raised the standards of good governance and increased public compliance with the heritage legislation. Practical implications – Poor uptake of the system by provincial heritage authorities has limited the impact of the system on heritage management as practiced in South Africa. Social implications – The system, when used effectively provides an efficient service to the public, while promoting good governance, transparency, public access to information and improved compliance with the heritage legislation. Originality/value – Through the creation of a single, unified platform for heritage management processes, geo-referencing of heritage sites and development areas, the provision of a national fossil sensitivity map, and the national heritage inventory, SAHRIS represents a world first in terms of proactive, integrated heritage management tools.

Building Conservation

Historical building conservation raises two important issues which are documentation and refurbishing. For the recording and documentation, we already have developed 3d laser scanner and such photogrammetry technology those represent a freeze object of virtual reality by digital documentation. On the other hand, the refurbished engineering of historic building is a challenge for conservation heritage which are not only reconstructing the damage part but also restoring tangible cultural heritage. 3D digital cultural heritage models has become a topic of great interest in recent years. One reason for this is the more widespread use of laser scanning and photogrammetry for recording cultural heritage sites. These technologies have made it possible to efficiently and accurately record complex structures remotely that would not have been possible with previous survey methods. In addition to these developments, digital information systems are evolving for the presentation, analysis and archival of heritage documentation.

The Crimea

Although the watercolours and pen drawings of still existing and already lost architectural buildings created by K. F. Bogaevskii in the 1920s are more modest than his pictures, they still form the golden collection of the Crimean past. The sketches of architectural monuments are a specific part of the painter’s heritage, which certainly made an impact on the development of his creative approach to the Crimean landscape, were the job he did by an order from the institution responsible for all cultural heritage in the region, or the Crimean Department for the Museum Affairs and Protection of the Sites of Art, Past, Nature, and People’s Daily Life (KrymOKHRIS). This paper presents K. F. Bogaevskii’s watercolours discovered in the collection of the Bakhchisarai Historical, Cultural, and Archaeological Museum Preserve and I. K. Aivazovskii Feodosiia Art Gallery: they show mediaeval monuments located in the south-eastern suburbs of Bakhchisarai, Salachik, and Chufut-Kale. The art historical analysis of these works has been done; the history of their creation has been explored. The author underlines the significance of these drawings for the scholarly studies of the cultural heritage sites of Bakhchisarai, reconstruction of their authentic appearance, localization and identification, and the studies in the cultural heritage site protection works in the Crimea in the 1920s. Artistic value of the painter’s works under analysis is beyond any doubt: the precision of drawing, reproduction of architectonics of buildings, necessary details of pictures were caused by the task and corresponded to K. F. Bogaevskii’s high professional attitude to works. The watercolours and drawings create an artistic image of the monuments with the composition incorporated into the existing natural setting. K. F. Bogaevskii was a landscape painter, a master with academic education, who passed through A. I. Kuindzhi’s school.
