The use of heritage and cultural identity and its influence on the development of a territory has been approached, both in theory and in practice in Latin American countries, enriched by significant experiences of some international examples that claim cultural identity and value to the local heritage. Therefore, it is useful to analyze the case of the Barrio Getsemani, Cartagena de Indias, inscribed by unesco, in the List of World Heritage Sites.The methodology used in the case study, combines qualitative and quantitative techniques. The research analyzes the potential of Getsemani to contribute to local development from the recognition and visibility of cultural goods and manifestations.In that order, a general characterization of the neighborhood was carried out based on the analysis of the present documentation, the official statistical registers available and the results of interviews and surveys that allowed to complement information on topics of interest. Likewise, they provide evidence of the tourism potential and the active nature of Getsemani's cultural heritage. In this sense, based on the complementary support of the theory of endogenous development with the model of prevailing tourism development, it is proposed to enhance the unique characteristics of the cultural heritage of Getsemani, through the idea of an interpretative set that seeks to enhance tourism management by Part of the local community and demonstrate the differential value of Gethsemane as a cultural tourist destination. In this way, development is achieved not only by being a passive recipient, but also achieved through the formation of an entrepreneurial process and local innovation based on cultural specificity, material and immaterial and territorial heritage.It is important to highlight the strategic value, risks and opportunities associated with safeguarding cultural heritage and tourism development. Communities must lead management within the framework of solidarity and cooperation, to ensure their survival ina globalized world, with the participation of the various governmental and private sector actors. ; El uso de patrimonio e identidad cultural y su influencia en el desarrollo de un territorio han sido abordados tanto en la teoría como en la práctica en países de América Latina, enriqueciéndose con experiencias significativas de algunos ejemplos internacionales que reivindican la identidad cultural y valorizan el patrimonio local. Por lo anterior, resulta útil analizar el caso del barrio Getsemaní, ubicado en Cartagena de Indias, inscrito por la UNESCO en la Lista del Patrimonio de la Humanidad.La metodología empleada corresponde al estudio de caso y combina técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas. La investigación analiza el potencial de Getsemaní para contribuir al desarrollo local a partir del reconocimiento y la visibilización de los bienes y manifestaciones culturales.En ese orden, se realiza una caracterización general del barrio a partir del análisis de la documentación presente, de los registros estadísticos oficiales disponibles y de los resultados de entrevistas y encuestas que permitieron complementar información sobre temas de interés. Así mismo, se aportan evidencias del potencial turístico y el carácter activo del patrimonio cultural de Getsemaní. En este sentido, a partir del sustento complementario de la teoría del desarrollo endógeno con el modelo de desarrollo turístico imperante, se propone potenciar las características singulares del patrimonio cultural de Getsemaní por medio de la idea de un conjunto interpretativo que busca potenciar la gestión turística por parte de la comunidad local y demostrar el valor diferencial de Getsemaní como destino turístico cultural. De esta manera, el desarrollo se logra no solo siendo un receptor pasivo, sino que también se alcanza a partir de la formación de un proceso emprendedor y de innovación local basado en una especificidad cultural, del patrimonio material e inmaterial y territorial.Es importante resaltar el valor estratégico, los riesgos y las oportunidades asociados con la salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural y el desarrollo del turismo. Las comunidades deben liderar la gestión en el marco de la solidaridad y la cooperación para garantizar su supervivencia en un mundo globalizado, con participación activa de los distintos actores gubernamentales y privados del sector.

Edward Tylor had envisioned anthropology to be comprised of ethnology and ethnography in equal parts, but today ethnography dominates the field. In this paper, we examine two reasons for the refugee status of ethnology. First, we look at the notorious "Galton effect." Second, we examine the problem of defining and using cultural units, particularly when positivistic and static theories and methods of culture have been largely discredited by anthropology. We argue against any formulaic solutions to these problems and show that for each research question one needs to reconsider the criteria for how to construct cultural units and how to ensure that the cultures under study are not merely replicas of one another. We show that previous solutions to these issues are limited because they fail to appreciate the contingent and multidimensional nature of culture. We also argue that, instead of a "Galton problem," there is actually a "Galton asset," which can be used to study historical and emergent communicative networks.

To preserve our cultural heritage, it is important to preserve our architectonic assets, comprising buildings, their decorations and the spaces they encompass. In some geographical areas, occasional natural disasters, specifically earthquakes, damage these cultural assets. Perpetuate is a European Union funded project aimed at establishing a methodology for the classification of the damage to these buildings, expressed as "collapse mechanisms". Structural engineering research has identified 17 different collapse mechanisms for masonry buildings damaged by earthquakes. Following established structural engineering practice, paper-based decisions trees have been specified to encode the recognition process for each of the various collapse mechanisms. In this paper, we report on how answer set programming has been applied to the construction of a machine-processable representation of these collapse mechanisms as an alternative for these decision-trees and their subsequent verification and application to building records from L'Aquila, Algiers and Rhodes. As a result, we advocate that structural engineers do not require the time-consuming and error-prone method of decisions trees, but can instead specify the properties of collapse mechanisms directly as an answer set program.

Over the past few years we realized that Public Archeology has transcended the academic and scientific space to expand its range of action to other socio-economic and political spheres that intersect archaeological practice. In this dynamic, professional action is often questioned, sometimes motivating reflections and self-criticism that contribute to rethinking the role of archeology in the construction of discourses about the Communities'heritage.In this work, we share questions related to the construction of meta-stories of the safeguardof cultural property that derive from activities that we carried out in recently in the province of Jujuy, Argentina.These actions have challenged us to rethink the performance of Public Archeology within the framework of world heritage sites management processes. ; En el curso de los últimos años hemos venido advirtiendo que la Arqueología Pública ha trascendido el espacio académico y científico para expandir su rango de actuación a otras esferas socioeconómicas y políticas que intersectan la práctica arqueológica. En esta dinámica, el accionar profesional suele ser interpelado, motivando en ocasiones reflexiones y autocríticas que contribuyen a re-pensar el rol de la arqueología en la construcción de discursos sobre el patrimonio de las Comunidades. En este trabajo compartimos interrogantes referidos a la construcción de metarrelatos sobre la salvaguardia de bienes culturales que, se desprenden de actividades que hemos desarrollado en los últimos años en la provincia de Jujuy, República Argentina. Esas acciones nos han desafiado a repensar el accionar de la Arqueología Pública en el marco de los procesos de gestión de sitios de patrimonio mundial.

ISPRS-Commission V Mid-Term Symposium on Close Range Image Measurement Technique -- JUN 21-24, 2010 -- Newcastle upon Tyne, ENGLAND ; WOS: 000345375500112 ; By the developing of the concept of common heritage of humanity in the international community, the idea of the development of natural or man-created precious, carrying the universal values that belong to a single state is abandoned. Such cultural artifacts are accepted as the common heritage of all humanity. The international enforcement efforts which are being executed by this purpose and organizations are created are encouraging the protection of world cultural heritage and transferring to future generations. Legal actions are required to transmit world cultural heritage to future generations because of the facing technological, natural or man-made threats of world cultural heritage. Protection of cultural heritage by legal ways is the base of all protection ways. Significant changes in existing law are made for the protection of cultural assets in the last period in Turkey. After international agreements are signed by Turkey, our national legislation is must be determined compliance with international law in the process of integration of cultural assets with contemporary life. In this study, national legislation of Turkey are examined which are based on conservation of our cultural assets that composes our cultural heritage and transfer of assets to future generations. It is aimed to provide contribution to compliance by international contemporary approach and application principles in this study. ; ISPRS Commiss

"La cartografia è l'insieme degli studi e delle operazioni scientifiche, artistiche e tecniche che si svolgono a partire dai risultati delle osservazioni dirette o dalla utilizzazione di una documentazione, al fine di elaborare ed allestire carte, piante e altri modi d'espressione, nonché al fine del loro uso" (Associazione Internazionale di Cartografia, 1966). Si profila così da questa definizione la possibilità di affidare quindi la salvaguardia del territorio, oltre che ad interventi di natura vincolistica ai sensi della legislazione vigente in materia di tutela storico-artistica e paesaggistica, anche e soprattutto ad un'oculata pianificazione urbanistica, che mirasse alla conservazione non solo del "monumento", ma anche del contesto territoriale di appartenenza. Sulla base di queste premesse e con il fine di conoscere e documentare gli elementi da tutelare, si rende quindi necessaria l'individuazione, la catalogazione e la relativa rappresentazione cartografica di tutti i beni storici presenti in un territorio: ne è un esempio significativo, la cinta muraria della città di Verona. Le mappe della cinta muraria che si stanno valorizzando, realizzando e installando, hanno lo scopo pratico di informare ma anche l'ambizione di "orientare" l'interesse di Verona verso il recupero delle sue stesse mura. Tale saggio ha provato ad evidenziare proprio quel legame che può e che dovrebbe esserci tra un territorio ed il proprio patrimonio e allo stesso tempo ho cercato di mettere in risalto la centralità che assume la funzione della valorizzazione di un bene culturale e naturale nell'ambito dello sviluppo locale. ; "The map is the set of studies and scientific operations, and artistic techniques that take place from the results of direct observations or the use of documentation in order to process and prepare maps, plans and other ways of expression, and the end of their use" (International Cartographic Association, 1966). What then emerges from this definition can then entrust the protection of the territory, well as interventions and constraints under the existing legislation to protect the historic-artistic and landscape, and above all to ensure proper planning, that aimed conservation not only of the "monument", but also the context of territorial belonging. Based on these premises and in order to know and document the elements to be protected, it is therefore necessary to identification, cataloging and mapping of all its historical assets present in a territory: it is a significant example, the city walls of Verona. The maps in the wall which are exploiting, producing and installing, have the practical purpose to inform but also the ambition to "steer" the interest of Verona to the recovery of his own walls. This paper has tried to highlight that very bond that can and should exist between a territory and its own assets and at the same time I tried to emphasize the centrality which assumes the function of the enhancement of the cultural and natural context of local development.
