The Right

Since ancient times, human beings have been interested in knowing their environment in order to make the right decisions in territorial management. The spatial component is a feature of great importance in the assets that surround us. Heritage geoinformation is a convenient and effective way for management, protection and safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage. For optimal compliance, it is nowadays indispensable to rely on the use of new web technologies and geomatics knowledge that allow the documentation, visualisation, monitoring and management of heritage. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to develop a web-based cultural heritage management system in Cantón Nabón, Ecuador, as a case study. The system, consisting of a web-based geoportal accessible to the whole society, will allow consulting the geolocalised heritage information of the study area on a virtual map, as well as 3D geovisualisation in an interactive web viewer. The integrated system, once implemented, will take into consideration the preventive conservation cycle in the heritage field, highlighting, in Spanish, the creation of the heritage data models according to ISO21127:2014.

Insight Into

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the challenges to urban cultural heritage management conservation in the historical city of Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan-Iraq. The paper focusses on the roles and interactions of stakeholders and the issues that confront the decision-making processes that underpin the management of historic city towns. Design/methodology/approach A case study methodology is utilised for this research. It involves documentary analysis and interviews with stakeholders who are part of the management of the historic city centre of Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan-Iraq. The findings from this case study are analysed in a systematic way before being discussed in the context of the literature on urban cultural heritage management. Findings The research shows that although there is a shared vision of the need to preserve and conserve urban cultural heritage, the management process is a contentious one. Stakeholders have different ideas as to how to achieve conservation goals which leads to increasing conflicts among stakeholders. This situation is compounded by the limited financial resources available to local government agencies, political interference in the work of implementation agencies and the lack of capacity in local government to enforce rules and carry out conservation projects. There are also significant power differentials among stakeholders in the decision-making process which often means that local residents are excluded from the process of conserving their built urban heritage. Practical implications This research can help practitioners who are in charge of urban cultural heritage management in dealing with stakeholder conflicts. The paper offers insight into a number of sources of stakeholder conflicts and on ways to overcome these in the planning process. Originality/value The originality of research lies in the novelty of the case study area. This research highlights the issues of built heritage conservation management and planning practices in an area – Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan-Iraq – that is geographically less represented in the extant literature. The research also identifies some of the key sources of conflict in urban heritage conservation projects and provides an insight into the roles of stakeholders in the management of smaller locally-dependent historic city centres.

New Research

This article discusses how to better unlock the information potential of unremarkable, though complex, prehistoric stone-built structures, by integrating the past 30 years worth of Nordic archaeological research results into aspects of the Norwegian Cultural Heritage Management processes. Traditionally, it has been rather commonplace to interpret such manmade collections of rocks as remains of either clearance of fields for agricultural purposes or as containers for burials, but this dichotomy should now be regarded as an oversimplification. The site of Orstad in the county of Rogaland, SW Norway, excavated in 2014, serves as a case study. This paper demonstrates how difficult it can be to put updated theories and methods into proper use in the field. Since these new research results call for changes in the approach to the subject were not sufficiently considered in the planning process, neither time nor budget allowed for an adequate examination of the individual structures and their context. This is likely to cause information loss, which creates challenges for both the excavation and post-excavation phases of an archaeological investigation. This paper stresses the need to update and improve how excavations of such sites are handled within Norwegian cultural heritage management. By applying new approaches, such localities can yield more information about the past than previously assumed.

The accuracy of data is the capital for making a very useful information for the company business continuity. The value of data can be very expensive if it can be made into a good information and the right target. Procurement and inventory data is one of the things to note in particular the logistics division on the company. Therefore it needs a system using a particular method that can be support the data management of goods procurement and it can also help the managers take the decision of stock control. Based on that, it can be developed to integrated system between procurement data processing and the amount of purchasing materials a single web-based application that implement a method of stock record such as perpetual inventory method and economic order quantity method as well as the methods used to support the decision in calculating the amount of inventory to be optimal. Using the development of the decision support system, some errors related to the recording of data on procurement and inaccuracies in determining the amount of inventory can be reduced. Then the company can avoid the material losses.

  Abstract. In this globalization era, the management of cultural heritage has improved significantly. The general public is now considered capable and has the right to manage their cultural heritage. The problem is how to make archaeology needed by the public and becomes part of their daily lives. Previous researches show that almost all megalithic remains in Pasemah, particularly the statues, are broken, and many stone burials and dolmens are transformed into washing boards or building foundations. This research aims to seek a suitable model for public-based management of cultural heritage in Pasemah. The method used in this research is descriptive-explanatory which is used to explain the phenomenon of archaeological remains and their surroundings. There is also interviews with individuals or communities related with the cultural heritage management. The research reveals that the community now is more aware about the issue and expecting for more courses or discussion forums about cultural heritage in their regions. In addition to preservation of the cultural heritage in Pasemah area, this research also encourages people to be proud of their culture as part of the national identity.  Keywords: Public archaeology, management, megalithic in Pasemah, nation identity  Abstrak. Pada era globalisasi saat ini pengelolaan warisan budaya mengalami perkembangan sangat signifikan, yang semula bertujuan untuk kepentingan negara/pemerintahan sekarang menjadi pengelolaan untuk masyarakat luas. Masyarakat diangggap mampu dan berhak mengelola warisan budaya. Permasalahannya adalah bagaimana arkeologi bisa dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat dan menjadi bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat itu sendiri. Hasil penelitian di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa hampir semua tinggalan megalitik di Kawasan Pasemah, Sumatera Selatan, memperlihatkan kondisi yang tidak utuh, seperti arca-arca dan kubur batu (dolmen) yang hilang atau beralih fungsi menjadi papan cuci dan pondasi rumah. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui model pengelolaan tinggalan budaya berbasis masyarakat, khususnya pada masyarakat di kawasan Pasemah. Metode yang digunakan bersifat deskriptif eksplanatif, yaitu menjelaskan fenomena tinggalan arkeologis dan lingkungannya dan melakukan wawancara secara mendalam melalui diskusi terfokus dengan pihak terkait yang dianggap berkepentingan terhadap pengelolaaan tinggalan budaya tersebut. Hasilnya adalah sebuah pemahaman tentang keterlibatan masyarakat dan menjadikan arkeologi sebagai bagian dari kehidupan yang profan di mana masyarakat meminta diadakan pelatihan ataupun ceramah arkeologi tentang tinggalan di daerahnya. Manfaat dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melestarikan warisan budaya di kawasan Pasemah dan memicu rasa kebanggaan terhadap budaya sendiri sebagai identitas bangsa. Kata kunci: Arkeologi publik, pengelolaan, megalitik pasemah, identitas bangsa
