The Impact

The present research is based on “Methodics for Preservation and Promotion of the Cultural Heritage with Artistic Interactions and Educational Impacts through Information and Communication Technologies (Nenov 2019), and the application of “the possibilities to promote cultural heritage with artistic interactions and educational impacts through the application of modern information and communication technologies (ICT), applying an interdisciplinary analysis of the scientific information for the cultural heritage sites” (Nenov 2019). Analysis of the activities for preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage has been made in the context of the concept, prepared by author team headed by architect Nenov – “Concept for activities for revitalization of the tourist attractions for promotion of intangible cultural heritage sites, under category “national” significance in the town of Bansko. (Nenov 2019a). The concept explores the impact of the environment in the “House of Arts Bansko” and the prerequisites for its reconstruction in “Cultural Heritage Promotion Center”. The applicability of notions, such as “cognition”, “cognitive architecture”, “interpretation of the cultural heritage”, “media façade”, educational “STEM” method and “authentic artistic interactions”, related to the research, is being analyzed as new approach for preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage. The significance of the interpretation of the cultural heritage in the context of ICT capabilities for the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural values is substantiated. Present examples for application of the Augmented reality (AR) are examined. The study presents the “possibilities for interpretation of the cultural heritage through visual research with information and communication technologies (ICT) in a real “in situ” and museum environment in the context of the cultural heritage sites and using the cited methodics, which was introduced in the dissertation “Conservation of the cultural heritage of Bulgaria in the context of the synthesis of architecture and fine arts “(Nenov 2016–2019). The possibilities for building cognitive environment are explored in the context of introduction of new technologies and good practices for popularization of the cultural heritage.

This paper advocates for the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and indigenous languages for the actualization of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nigeria because both tools are capable of transforming the rural and urban populace. It explores the MDGs so as to unravel the ways ICTs and indigenous languages can facilitate the speedy actualization of MDGs in Nigeria, a country with peculiar cultural heritage and with over 750 indigenous languages. It also analyzes some of the contending constraints confronting Nigeria from actualizing MDGs such as corruption, extreme poverty, lack of attention to indigenous languages, high cost of ICTs which are products of bad leadership. The effective use of Nigeria’s different indigenous languages and ICTs, it maintains, remains the most effective way towards educating Nigerians and achieving the MDGs in Nigeria come 2015.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have established a growing and deeper interconnection alliance with the tourism sector. Few solutions have contributed to the dissemination of cultural and religious heritage of the regions, as a means of promoting it, making known and enriching the culture of its visitors and residents. The development of an intelligent application that allows the dissemination of cultural and religious heritage can bring new experiences and sensations for tourists and for residents in general, and for those with accessibility problems in particular. The present chapter proposes a methodological framework for the development of a recommendation system associated with the Religious Tourism Experience Model (RTEM), with the objective of identifying and selecting consumer preferences for the dissemination of cultural heritage in general, and religious heritage in particular.

The interpretation of the cultural heritage is presented in the context of the possibilities of ICT for the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Examples for the use of Augmented reality (AR) for the presentation of European cultural heritage are explored. There were presented opportunities for interpretation of the cultural heritage through visual research with information and communication technologies (ICT) in real “in situ” and museum environment by examples from Bulgaria for the use of the “Method of interaction of the arts in interpreting and presenting the cultural heritage through Information and Communication Technologies “and in particular with the use of augmented reality, introduced with the dissertation work “Protecting Bulgaria’s cultural heritage in the context of the synthesis of architecture and Fine Arts” (Nenov 2016). The possibilities of the method are discribed in the projects for “Revitalization of Ancient and Medieval fortress Hotalich Sevlievo” and a project for virtual presentation of the archaeological sites of the cultural heritage with category “national significance” – “Ancient and Medieval Fortress in the Horizon neighbourhood” and “Temple of Kibela Balchik” – an interactive and children’s museum in open and indoor, created by a team with head arch. Ivelin Nenov. These sites have created an environment for interpretation and presentation of the cultural heritage through visual interactions in a real “in situ” and museum environment. The specific methodology used by the team to investigate the examined objects could serve as a basis for a new approach for documention, exhibition, preservаtion and socializiation of ruinous cultural heritage. The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that have been used are presented as an extremely flexible tool for the promotion of tangible and intangible cultural values among a wide range of target groups of local and foreign socio-cultural communities.

The Impact

The methodics, subject of the present study is based on research and analysis of the impact of the results from conservation and cultural heritage activities. At the same time, the study explores the possibilities to promote cultural heritage with artistic interactions and educational impacts through the application of modern information and communication technologies (ICT), using an interdisciplinary analysis of the scientific information for the cultural heritage sites. The concept of “authentic artistic interactions” has been introduced as a new approach to the preservation and promotion of ruined cultural heritage. It underlines the importance of the interpretation of cultural heritage in the context of ICT (ICT) capabilities for the promotion of immovable and movable cultural values. Factual examples for presentation of the European cultural heritage, using Augmented reality, are viewed. The study presents the opportunities for interpretation of the cultural heritage through visual research with information and communication technologies (ICT) in a real “in situ” and museum environment through examples from Bulgaria for using the methodics, which was introduced in the dissertation “Conservation of the cultural heritage of Bulgaria in the context of the synthesis of architecture and fine arts “(Nenov 2016). It describes the capabilities of the method with examples from projects created by a team with head arch. Ivelin Nenov. “For these objects an environment for interpretation and presentation of the cultural heritage was created through visual interactions in a real “in situ” and museum environment.” (Nenov 2018.a) In the context of the examples of application, the study highlights the need for introducing new approaches for conservation and management of the cultural heritage, and it emphasizes the serious benefits for society as: the realization of educational influences, a qualitative change in the attitude towards the historical memory, a real opportunity to organize monitoring of the preservation processes in cultural heritage, inclusion of cultural heritage in sustainable development, building a new cultural infrastructure, a powerful boost for the development of the creative industries.
