“…In comparison to our map study, the concept of reintroduction has manifested itself in similar types of work, e.g., in museums [13] with new ways of communicating museum artefacts and enhancing the learning experience [14]. In a cultural heritage perspective [15], the digital reintroduction provides a possibility of providing equal access to cultural content, as an important element in the general democratic discourse [16]. Concerning maps in general, the application of immersive technologies for visualization purposes [17] is well-known, in addition to other creative uses of digital map objects [18] that may function as a means of reintroducing once analog materials, also deploying web-geographic information systems and LOD [19].…”

We describe the process to create an interactive digital artifact out of a physically born material that would assist the interactive cultural heritage experience, as well as the pedagogical practice through artifact-oriented learning and digital storytelling. Our main aim is to reconceptualize, reuse and reintroduce physically born materials that were previously only known to a small group of scholars, students, and specialists to the general public. In our pilot study, we present a graphical interactive map which is an enriched depiction of the Battle of Lützen ( 1632) that includes geographical information, cultural products inspired by the depicted event (e.g., paintings, music, museum artifacts, documentaries), technological artifacts illustrated at the map, and elements to assist the digital narration (e.g., buttons, captions, sound and text). Our proposed low-cost solution demands no programming skills at all, is based mostly on open-source tools, and requires -ideally-only a touch-screen. The ease of implementing this solution enables it to be applied in a plethora of digitized artifacts and be used at schools, libraries, museums, and universities.

“…It could provide a photorealistic image or a symbolic representation of the original artefact, depending on the object and the scope of the representation. Advanced digitisation technologies have been instrumental in transforming conservation and scientific research methods in cultural heritage, as well as people's experience of cultural heritage relics, monuments and events [28,29,[46][47][48][49].…”

Heritage - New Paradigm

The present chapter investigates the emerging paradigm of cultural heritage experience, as shaped by the continuous advances in information technologies. Recent years have seen the growing digitisation of cultural heritage, leveraged by innovative information technologies (imaging technologies, multimedia, virtual reality etc.). Advanced digitisation, and digital preservation and accessibility have been instrumental in transforming conservation and scientific research methods in the field of cultural heritage, as well as people’s experience of cultural heritage assets, relics, and monuments. Digitisation and immersion technologies are already in use in the context of cultural tourism in museums and on location. At the same time, a manifold of new applications and services can be generated from the adoption and adaptation of relevant technologies already applied in other sectors (e.g. 2D/3D digital scanning technologies applied in the construction industry). The present chapter will provide a thorough review of relevant digital technologies and existing work in the field, highlighting important research efforts and achievements; and will discuss the current challenges and promising avenues for future work. Following a literature review methodology, our research will provide a critical appraisal of carefully selected work from recent scientific literature and contribute to the systematisation of the current knowledge in the field towards the identification of key challenges and the extraction of new insights in terms of potential for practical applications and future research directions in the area.

“…I think this is something glossed over in discussion of the sustainability of heritage buildings. This characteristic of buildings would of course depend on good memory and recognition of such buildings as helped by mapping [32], photos [33], and digital twins [34] P: there is, of course, a route to seeing how mainstream economics can embrace heritage buildings by understanding them as positional or Veblen goods [35]. From the social theorist's point of view, whatever a more puritanical ethics may conclude, it could be argued that the high level of preservation of heritage buildings both in urban and rural contexts in the developed world is because they are such goods.…”

This study represents a trialogue by a town planner, an economist, and a political scientist on the concepts of built heritage and sustainable development in terms of some features in the relationship between sustainable development and economics, sustainable development, built heritage conservation and economics, built heritage conservation and politics, built heritage conservation and sustainable development, and the tension between built heritage conservation vs. conservation/sustainable development. From planning, economic, and political angles, the feasibility and limitations of heritage building conservation in relation to conservation and sustainable development are presented. Compared to ecological conservation, built heritage conservation can easily accommodate sustainable development, as it is certainly a physical dimension for managing cultural heritage conservation. Built heritage as “heritage buildings” can articulate with real estate development via proper conservation planning. Its historical aspect signifies the legitimacy of conservation, while its proprietary aspect renders it fit for betterment.
