Protection Of Cultural Heritage

The issue addressed in this chapter is the design, implementation, and evaluation of a watermarking application, especially focused on the protection of cultural heritage. The application described here is focusing on protecting digital surrogates of high-quality photographs of artifacts, monuments and sites, and on countering copyright infringement of online digital images. This is achieved by the integration of an innovative watermarking method to a specialized and usable user–interface. The system is specifically applied to “Ulysses,” the Official Cultural Portal of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture (HMC). The chapter is structured in 7 main sections where an overview of the issue is presented, the watermarking method is analyzed, and the user-interface is described in detail. Finally, an evaluation of the overall watermarking application is presented and specific on-site implementation issues are analyzed.

Protection Of Cultural Heritage

Tourism has become a prevalent discourse in Indonesia, considering that in the last few years, Tourism has become the highest contributor to the commodity revenue line. Paying close attention to the integration of tourism certainly involves multidiscipline in it so that efforts to develop tourism require integrated efforts from various parties as well as multidiscipline. It is essential to realize that the attractions of tourism in Indonesia can consist of everything that has a uniqueness, beauty, and value in the form of the diversity of natural, cultural, and human-made diversity. In real terms, it can be observed that cultural heritage is one of the valuable assets owned by a country (Indonesia) in supporting the development of tourism. Culture is a way of life that develops, is shared by a group of people, and is passed down from generation to generation. The culture referred to is the result of reason and reason, so that philosophy can be understood as originating from nothing, then thought by reason and ideas, then becoming. The process of creating a culture can logically be protected by Intellectual Property Rights (Copyright). During this time, the copyright-protected in Indonesia based on Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright is an Individual Right. It is understood that the copyright needed to protect cultural heritage is communal rights. How to regulate and apply copyright protection Communal communities will be studied more deeply so that there is a comprehensive and integrated model for protecting cultural heritage in Indonesia.

Protection Of Cultural Heritage

This paper clarifies and interprets the current problems in Vietnamese heritage management and suggests remedies through the case study at the Vuon Chuoi archaeological site. Through the analysis of the Vietnamese law on cultural heritage as well as examining behaviours of the stakeholders involved in heritage management, three issues that make Vietnamese archaeological heritage management more difficult are defined: (1) the law on cultural heritage is not forceful enough to protect the Vuon Chuoi site under the threat of construction projects; (2) overlapping jurisdictions make the model of cultural heritage in Hanoi inefficient. The authorities responsible for heritage management at all levels have failed to protect the Vuon Chuoi site properly in accordance with the Vietnamese law on cultural heritage and have shown their irresponsibility in the heritage management; and (3) there is a lack of cooperation between stakeholders to balance the need for economic development and the protection of cultural heritage in Vuon Chuoi area. Bài viết này nhằm mục đích xác định và giải thích một phần các thách thức gặp phải trong quản lý di sản và đề xuất các biện pháp khắc phục thông qua trường hợp nghiên cứu di chỉ khảo cổ Vườn Chuối. Qua phân tích Luật di sản văn hóa, mô hình quản lý di sản của Việt Nam và hành vi của các bên liên quan trong quản lý di sản, có ba thách thức khiến việc quản lý di sản khảo cổ Việt Nam trở nên khó khăn hơn được xác định là: (1) luật di sản văn hóa không đủ mạnh để bảo vệ di chỉ khảo cổ học Vườn Chuối trước sự đe dọa của các dự án xây dựng; (2) sự phân quyền chồng chéo trong quản lý làm cho mô hình di sản văn hóa ở Hà Nội không hiệu quả. Sự thiếu trách nhiệm của các cấp quản lý đã khiến Vườn Chuối nằm ngoài phạm vi bảo vệ của Luật Di sản Văn hóa; và (3) thiếu sự hợp tác giữa các bên liên quan trong việc cân bằng nhu cầu phát triển kinh tế và bảo vệ di sản văn hóa đã đẩy Vườn Chuối đến nguy cơ bị xóa sổ.

In this contribution the possibility to combine terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) measurements and UAS photogrammetry for the detailed description and high quality surveying of a cultural monument will be illustrated by the example of the Cathedral of St. Nicholas in the city of Greifswald. Due to the different nature of UAS photogrammetry and TLS walls and windows as well as portions of roofs are captured with a different level of completeness and accuracy. The average deviations of the test areas on the overlap between the two measurement methods ranges from 0.015 m to 0.033 m with standard deviations of 0.025 m to 0.088 m.

Protection Of Cultural Heritage

The starting point in this paper is the position that spatial and urban planning has a key role in sustainable development and the protection of cultural heritage. The planning method used in areas of cultural heritage differs depending on the type and level of the spatial plan. It is possible to identify aspects of protection and sustainable development in plans, with the protection of cultural heritage dominating in practice. Research was carried out on a case study of three spatial plans at different levels, which both in terms of their methodology and content make up the planning system for the protection and sustainable development of cultural heritage in Serbia. The comparative analysis of the plans includes three aspects: protection, the sustainable development of cultural heritage, and the integration of cultural heritage into the planning and protection of landscapes. The implementation models of the spatial plans were considered. The main conclusion of the paper is that the concept of protecting cultural heritage has not evolved into a system of comprehensive and adequate planning for its sustainable development, nor is it sufficiently integrated with the planning and protection of landscapes. The paper provides guidelines for improving both the methodology of spatial planning and the concept of the sustainable development and protection of cultural heritage in spatial plans.

The issue of knowledge and documentation of cultural heritage is always central in the field of Drawing, which, through the survey, is always preliminary to the safeguarding and valorisation of artistic and architectural heritage. The paper aims at presenting some results of a survey realized following an approach that mix direct, laser and photographic techniques to obtain high quality ortophotos of the painted surfaces, useful to be the basis for the graphical analysis of the trompe l'oeil perspective. The phases are: survey campaign and data acquisition, postproduction of the RAW file, photo straightening, photo modelling, orthophoto output, CAD analysis, conclusive considerations. All these steps are referred to the experimentation on a concrete case study, one of the numerous frescoed rooms belonging to the rich iconography of Palazzo Arese Borromeo in Cesano Maderno (MB, Italy), a building that is an actual unicum in its kind.

Cultural heritage is the evidence of the past; monumental objects create the important part of the cultural heritage. Selection of a method to be applied depends on many factors, which include: the objectives of inventory, the object's volume, sumptuousness of architectural design, accessibility to the object, required terms and accuracy of works. The paper presents research and experimental works, which have been performed in the course of development of architectural documentation of elements of the external facades and interiors of the Wilanów Palace Museum in Warszawa. Point clouds, acquired from terrestrial laser scanning (Z+F 5003h) and digital images taken with Nikon D3X and Hasselblad H4D cameras were used. Advantages and disadvantages of utilisation of these technologies of measurements have been analysed with consideration of the influence of the structure and reflectance of investigated monumental surfaces on the quality of generation of photogrammetric products. The geometric quality of surfaces obtained from terrestrial laser scanning data and from point clouds resulting from digital images, have been compared.
