Cultural Heritage Management - Science topic

As a Geomatician, I am a huge fan !

GeoSPARQL is the standard par excellence when it comes to spatial information structure in RDF.

You can look at the Classic city of Bosra (Dera'a district-Syria), where the local population settled on the antique ruins were displaced to better enhanced the cultural heritage and follow the preservation sheme according to UNESCO. The site inscription goes back to 1980, when less care was given to add local population and local economy to the cultural heritage's sites management. But the same, even more radical, cleaning-up can be seen actually in the 2015 UNESCO site of Amida-Diyarbakır, where the inner buffer zone was nationalized and the majority of the "modern" buildings destroyed. We will see what will be done on the antique substract, or what remain of it.

I work on the theme of tourism and cultural heritage, maybe in that I could contribute to your research

My answer is that TICCIH publishes reports every three years on the state of industrial heritage in each country where there is a TICCIH section. Some of these are on the TICCIH website (for 2015 and I think 2013) and for others you can always ask TICCIH how to obtain copies.

These report will go a very long way to answering your query Ronaldo.

Hi. Check out publications by Historic Scotland, English Heritage and the Heritage Council. Their Web sites list good guidance and best practice documents. Best of luck.

For a historical perspective, you might want to check out Conserving Culture: A New Discourse on Heritage, edited by Mary Hufford.  University of Illinois Press, 1994.  It contains some early articles on the intersection of culture and resource management.
