This paper presents a methodology for using geospatial tools to enact efficient tourism planning and management in streets and other public spaces in historic centres. The study uses 3D laser scanning, GIS, and spatial data processing techniques to analyse the visitor carrying capacity of streets near cultural attractions. The methodology was tested on Miguelete Street in València (Spain), next to the Cathedral. The results show that these digital tools are efficient and accurate for the spatial analysis of visitor carrying capacity studies.

The Via Francigena stands as a European Cultural Route recognized by the Council of Europe, serving as a link between Northern and Southern Europe, extending from Canterbury through France and Switzerland to Rome in Italy. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights underscores the right of all individuals to partake in the cultural life of their communities, which entails ensuring that heritage sites remain accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical, cognitive or sensory abilities. To achieve this, the ‘rurAllure’ project has been initiated to promote and disseminate the cultural and natural heritage along this pilgrimage route in an inclusive manner. This paper reviews the existing resources regarding accessibility in the Italian segment of the Via Francigena, comparing them to initiatives undertaken on other European Cultural Routes. This serves as an initial step to comprehend the measures required to guarantee that everyone can fully engage with and comprehend these cultural experiences. The analysis revealed that most of the limited accessibility efforts along this route have primarily focused on physical accessibility. Regrettably, cognitive and sensory accessibility has received considerably less attention. In this context, this paper proposes the thermal heritage located along the Val d’Orcia section in Tuscany, Italy, as particularly promising for the development of accessible experiences due to its tactile characteristics. The future efforts to enhance accessibility along this route should consider approaches like Universal Design for Learning and the geography of perception to create resources and new experiences that cater to a wide range of individuals.
Via Francigena是欧洲委员会认可的欧洲文化之路,是连接北欧和南欧的纽带,从坎特伯雷经法国和瑞士延伸到意大利的罗马。《世界人权宣言》强调,所有人都有参与其社区文化生活的权利,这就需要确保所有人都能进入遗产地,无论其身体、认知或感官能力如何。为了实现这一目标,“rurAllure”项目已经启动,以包容性的方式促进和传播这条朝圣路线上的文化和自然遗产。本文回顾了Francigena大街意大利段现有的可达性资源,并将其与其他欧洲文化路线进行了比较。这是理解确保每个人都能充分参与和理解这些文化体验所需的措施的第一步。分析表明,这条路线上有限的可达性工作主要集中在物理可达性上。遗憾的是,认知和感官可及性受到的关注相当少。在此背景下,本文提出了位于意大利托斯卡纳的Val d 'Orcia部分的热遗产,由于其触觉特征,它特别有希望发展无障碍体验。未来在这条道路上加强可达性的努力应该考虑像学习通用设计和感知地理这样的方法,以创造适合广泛个体的资源和新体验。

The COVID-19 pandemic forced museums to rethink their activity in the context of social media, thus generating new ways of communicating and educating about the heritage they preserve. This article explores the indissoluble relationship established between these emerging edu-communication models and the spaces destined to safeguard the intangible cultural heritage (ICH), since the latter is a sociocultural phenomenon whose museumization requires education and civic participation. In order to determine to what extent museum edu-communication inspired by the co-creative paradigm can be extended into formal teaching contexts for the generation of heritage bonds and communities around ICH, two cases produced at the J. Trepat Factory Museum in Tàrrega (Spain) are analyzed through an autoethnographic approach. Both examples encourage a reflection on how the co-creative paradigm makes it possible to raise awareness and involve the entire community in the safeguarding of heritage, while at the same time promoting the expansion and reformulation of the institution’s proposals. We conclude that the integration of this approach into formal pedagogical practices contributes to overcoming some of the limitations of non-formal and informal edu-communication, as well as to generating a rhizomatic identization around ICH.

Geoheritage sites are important resources due to the diverse ways in which they can be utilized. There are small, low-ranked geosites that have attracted significant attention from the lay public. This study reports on one such geosite from the Hosta area of the Western Caucasus. Field observations allowed us to make judgments related to its geoheritage properties and establish the factors for its successful touristic exploitation. This geosite represents a furrow in the Upper Cretaceous limestones in the area, which inherited the former weak zone or minor fault and grew due to landslides. The degree of uniqueness of this geosite is low; it is curvilinear in space; it boasts perfect accessibility, including from a nearby resort, and its landscape context is scenic. The Labyrinth geosite is located in a yew–boxwood grove in the natural reserve, and it is visited by crowds of tourists. Three direct factors in its exploitation success are proposed as follows: story (popular explanation of the geosite’s origin), route (inclusion into a popular touristic route through the grove), and cultural appeal (analogy to man-made labyrinths). Applying these factors to another geoheritage-rich area of the Western Caucasus implied that some of them may not be meaningful according to objective reasons, but that there are other important factors such as geoproduct (particularly geofood) selling. It is also noted that the small size and relatively low value of geosites do not necessarily limit their geotouristic potential. Overall, this case study suggests that “selling” geosites successfully requires advanced, innovative solutions and significant creativity.

In recent years, advanced digital technologies have driven an outstanding paradigm shift in the field of architectural heritage, particularly for building modelling, historical documentation and touristic promotion. Nonetheless, they show great potentialities in the field of assessment and control of the state of conservation of heritage buildings. In particular, close-range and aerial photogrammetry have increasingly relied on low-cost and user-friendly tools and procedures, with a high degree of automation that makes them accessible to specialists who are foremost involved in architectural diagnosis and conservation, rather than in remote sensing sciences. In this framework, this paper provides a scoping review of 117 publications, based on the PRISMA protocol, from Scopus and Web of Science databases, related to the employment of photogrammetric models and methods, with specific focus on the targets and purposes of the diagnostic process, including decay mapping, structural monitoring and modelling, non-destructive investigation and multi-source documentation. In detail, the results point out that current studies mainly support robust processing of large amounts of information from direct observation of surface alterations, systematic correlation between materials, construction characteristics, visible anomalies and experimental measurements, as well as multi-disciplinary collaborative workflows through remote inspection and harmonized data management. Further improvements were identified, including standardization of acquisition procedures, automatization of elaboration pipelines, integration of real-time data, validation of diagnosis decision-making support tools and scalability to networks of assets.
近年来,先进的数字技术推动了建筑遗产领域的重大范式转变,特别是在建筑建模、历史文献和旅游推广方面。尽管如此,它们在遗产建筑保护状况的评估和控制领域显示出巨大的潜力。特别是近景和航空摄影测量越来越依赖于低成本和用户友好的工具和程序,这些工具和程序具有高度自动化,使主要从事建筑诊断和保护而不是遥感科学的专家能够使用。在此框架下,本文基于PRISMA协议,对来自Scopus和Web of Science数据库的117份出版物进行了范围审查,这些出版物与摄影测量模型和方法的使用有关,特别关注诊断过程的目标和目的,包括衰变映射、结构监测和建模、非破坏性调查和多源文件。具体而言,研究结果指出,目前的研究主要支持通过远程检查和协调数据管理,从表面变化的直接观测、材料、施工特征、可见异常和实验测量之间的系统相关性以及多学科协作工作流等大量信息的鲁棒处理。确定了进一步的改进,包括采购程序的标准化、加工管道的自动化、实时数据的集成、诊断决策支持工具的验证以及资产网络的可扩展性。

Despite the advances in computational literary analysis of Western literature, in-depth analysis of the South Asian literature has been lacking. Thus, social network analysis of the main characters in the Indian epic Mahabharata was performed, in which it was prepossessed into verses, followed by a term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) transformation. Then, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) word vectors were obtained by applying compact Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) on the term–document matrix. As a novel innovation to this study, these word vectors were adaptively converted into a fully connected similarity matrix and transformed, using a novel locally weighted K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, into a social network. The viability of the social networks was assessed by their ability to (i) recover individual character-to-character relationships; (ii) embed the overall network structure (verified with centrality measures and correlations); and (iii) detect communities of the Pandavas (protagonist) and Kauravas (antagonist) using spectral clustering. Thus, the proposed scheme successfully (i) predicted the character-to-character connections of the most important and second most important characters at an F-score of 0.812 and 0.785, respectively, (ii) recovered the overall structure of the ground-truth networks by matching the original centralities (corr. > 0.5, p < 0.05), and (iii) differentiated the Pandavas from the Kauravas with an F-score of 0.749.
尽管西方文学的计算文学分析取得了进展,但对南亚文学的深入分析一直缺乏。因此,对印度史诗《摩诃婆罗多》中的主要人物进行了社会网络分析,其中将其前置为诗句,然后进行术语频率-逆文档频率(TF-IDF)转换。然后,对词-文档矩阵进行压缩奇异值分解(SVD),得到潜在语义分析(LSA)词向量;作为本研究的新颖创新,这些词向量被自适应地转换成一个全连接的相似矩阵,并使用一种新颖的局部加权k近邻(KNN)算法转换成一个社会网络。社会网络的可行性是通过它们的能力来评估的:(1)恢复个体人物对人物的关系;(ii)嵌入整体网络结构(通过中心性度量和相关性进行验证);(iii)利用光谱聚类检测Pandavas(主角)和Kauravas(拮抗剂)的群落。因此,该方案成功地(i)预测了最重要和次重要字符的字符间连接,f值分别为0.812和0.785;(ii)通过匹配原始中心性(corr. >0.5, p <(iii)区分Pandavas和Kauravas, f值为0.749。

The tomb of Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire, is considered one of the most important monuments of Iran. Its advanced state of deterioration motivated the need to carry out a study focused on analyzing the possible damage caused by the presence of soluble salts, and to assess the suitability of an electrokinetic treatment for their extraction. Preliminary diagnostics carried out on stone samples taken from the tomb confirmed that it is affected by the action of soluble salts, and especially by the presence of nitrates and sulfates. The effectiveness and possible harmful effects caused by electrokinetic treatment were evaluated, under laboratory conditions, using the same limestone that makes up the tomb. The obtained results show that this treatment, in a short period of time, reduces the ionic content, reaching high percentages of anion extraction, without causing any damage, which indicates that it is suitable for this type of stone.

In Italy, the current geography of abandonment is defined by the classification of the National Strategy of Inner Areas (NSIA). The support measures envisaged by the NSIA could contribute to reducing the marginality of inner areas and promote the protection, conservation, and enhancement of historic centres. In this perspective, actions on historical buildings should be selected based on a cognitive process aimed at specifying the phenomena that have led to the progressive abandonment of historical centres and a process aimed at identifying the values and dis-values. This research proposes a ruination model aimed at highlighting the risks that the built heritage of the inner areas are exposed to. This model was implemented for the case of the historic neighbourhood of Granfonte in Leonforte. The model was developed based on a qualitative–quantitative approach aimed at detecting the preservation state and built heritage use; analysing the building fabric development; identifying the ruination drivers; building a building units database; defining a ruination pattern of the building units based on a multivariate regression model; and analysing the predicted ruination scenario. The model can support decision-making processes aimed at the selection of actions to protect and preserve heritage built in marginal areas.

The application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) on historic constructions is investigated in this paper by discussing, as a representative case study, the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze (Italy), thus showing as this tool can be used effectively for the management and maintenance activities of a historic museum. In fact, while BIM is already well-known as a powerful tool for the design and management of new buildings, its development in the field of historical construction is currently growing and attracting increasing interest in the scientific community. This paper proposes, in particular, an Information Model (IM) aimed to collect the structural information to be subsequently employed for numerical modeling of the building, thus representing the link between the real world and the computational models. The possibility to handle different types of information to be used for the management, maintenance, and modeling of existing constructions, as shown in this paper, encourages the popularization of this approach as an effective method to support cultural heritage (CH) conservation.
本文以意大利佛罗伦萨学院美术馆(Galleria dell’accademia di Firenze)为例,探讨了建筑信息模型(BIM)在历史建筑中的应用,从而表明该工具可以有效地用于历史博物馆的管理和维护活动。事实上,虽然BIM作为新建筑设计和管理的强大工具已经广为人知,但它在历史建筑领域的发展目前正在增长,并引起了科学界越来越多的兴趣。本文特别提出了一个信息模型(Information Model, IM),旨在收集结构信息,随后用于建筑物的数值建模,从而代表现实世界与计算模型之间的联系。如本文所示,处理不同类型的信息用于现有建筑的管理、维护和建模的可能性,鼓励了这种方法的普及,作为支持文化遗产保护的有效方法。

Pollutant gases pose a significant risk to some cultural heritage objects, and surveys have shown that the professionals involved consider themselves to lack knowledge to fully assess risk. Three approaches towards risk assessment, research results, standards and damage functions have been considered. An assessment tool has been developed, collating over 4000 research reports into a scheme for the impact on 22 materials of acetic and formic acids, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and reduced sulphur gases. The application of doses or concentrations has been considered, the impact of measurement time compared to annual exposure investigated and a simple tool derived.
