Un Sistema Informativo territoriale per la salvaguardia del patrimonio architettonico in Basilicata

The recovery and the electronic fruition of documentary material in architectonic heritage, the development of digital technology methodologies for cultural heritage and the use of new technological and informative systems are more and more diffused. The potential of these technologies for the planning and the subsequent management of information in cultural heritage fields is various and, above all, the digitalization of data is considered now an essential part in a course to heritage valorization. Particularly, among the new applied technologies the Geographical Information Systems, that come up as instruments for the control of territory and are so flexible that they can be applied in different research areas, are more and more frequent. This work is part of a research project called "The safeguard of the territory and the conservation of cultural heritage in Basilicata in relation to landscape evolution and geo-morphological risk factors", that IBAM-CNR is carrying out in Val d'Agri. Nineteen centers in the valley have been chosen to analyze and to catalogue their whole cultural heritage, that will be after implemented in a geodatabase, which is expressly structured following tab "A" criteria of ICCD. New fields to evaluate the seismic hazard for architectonic heritage have been added to this tab, specifically in reference to the damages of monuments during the Irpinia earthquake in 1980. Then the complete research will be available on a WEB-GIS portal of the IBAM-CNR. The final aim of the project is the definition of a "Risk Map" of the architectonic and archaeological heritage in Basilicata, as fundamental base for the planning of safeguard and conservation interventions for cultural heritage that is subjected to natural risks.
