description

The preservation of the cultural heritage has become at present a subject of fundamental importance in Italy, above all because of the numerous unhappy events, due to not only natural reasons, happened in these last years. Besides this problem is particularly urgent in Sicily, because of the existence of a considerable cultural heritage and in absence of a complete and systematic inventory. To tackle such a complex subject, the use of informatics is required, since the traditional methods, based especially on paper documentation, are absolutely inadequate. Particularly, this work deals with the cultural heritage inventory selected according to: - historical urban centres; - archaeological sites; - extra-urban architectonic assets (castles, towers etc.). To handle the great deal of information related to this heritage, a suitable GIS was designed, aimed at having different information (texts, photos, drawings, talking or music sounds, videotapes) and easy to be integrated and updated in future.
