Abstract

Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is a well-known cultural route connecting rich cultural and landscape heritages in China, whose whole heritage system includes not only the physical remains related to the railway history but also the other movable heritages, such as the historical images left during its construction process. This paper aims to briefly summarize the characteristics of historical GIS and the possibility of constructing a historical database with the help of PostgreSQL and GIS tools. The sources of the existing historical images of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway are discussed. Then, those photographic works left by three related railway workers have historical, social, and heritage meanings, which are the evidence of the historical changes of Yunnan. Thus, these photos in the archive and other geographic data are collected and utilized to construct a geo-historical database to realize further spatial analysis, such as the footprints map of historical figures. Further research and applications can be fulfilled based on this built geo-historical database.

中国滇越铁路历史照片地理历史数据库

滇越铁路是连接中国丰富的文化遗产和景观遗产的著名文化线路，其整个遗产体系不仅包括与铁路历史相关的实物遗存，还包括铁路建设过程中留下的历史影像等其他可移动遗产。本文旨在简要总结历史GIS的特点，以及利用PostgreSQL和GIS工具构建历史数据库的可能性。讨论了滇越铁路现存历史图像的来源。三名相关铁路工人留下的摄影作品具有历史意义、社会意义和遗产意义，是云南历史变迁的证据。因此，收集这些档案中的照片和其他地理数据，并利用它们构建一个地理历史数据库，以实现进一步的空间分析，例如历史人物的足迹图。在此基础上，可以进行进一步的研究和应用。
