Abstract
Abstract. This work is part of an investigation into the use of GIS for the documentation and comprehension of medieval architectural heritage in the ancient Kingdom of Seville. The research was done in the framework of the project “Sustainable guardianship of cultural heritage through digital BIM and GIS models: contribution to knowledge and social innovation”, an interdisciplinary project focused on the applications of information technology in architectural heritage in Spain. The study case of this paper is located in the Guadalquivir valley during the period between 13th and 15th centuries. It concerns the Moorish Strip site, fortified by the Christian Kingdom of Castile with the aim of creating a barrier with the Moorish Kingdom. Its deteriorated state has led us to create a historical and spatial database in order to contribute to its conservation management plan. Apart from the historical documentation research and the data gathering, intensive fieldwork was also done to collect information about the buildings. In this paper we present a Historical SDI to investigate the hypothesis that the spatial patterns of the Moorish Band obey rules of “inter-visibility” control. Some analysis has been done on the site scale, such as: i) a thematic map of building material; ii) a spatiotemporal analysis; iii) the density of the distribution of towers over the territory; iv) a simulation of the territory visibility from the towers; v) the inter-visibility among towers; iv) thematic maps using attribute values. These analyses permitted us to highlight the need to create a preservation plan that should consider the network visibility system as an important value for heritage interpretation and knowledge.
Highlights
This project presents the description and analysis of the Moorish Strip, built by the Christian Kingdom of Castile and Leon between the 13th and 15th. centuries, a system of defensive architecture located in the Guadalquivir valley [about 47.2484 ha]
This work is focused on the application of GIS, and aims to apply them both as a registering tool and for the preservation of heritage information and knowledge of heritage considering its territorial scale and its view of the whole
In our study case, the documentation is an important part of the project, as many of the towers are very deteriorated or do not exist
Summary
This project presents the description and analysis of the Moorish Strip, built by the Christian Kingdom of Castile and Leon between the 13th and 15th. centuries, a system of defensive architecture located in the Guadalquivir valley [about 47.2484 ha]. Centuries, a system of defensive architecture located in the Guadalquivir valley [about 47.2484 ha] It is part of the R&D&i research project “Sustainable management of cultural heritage through digital BIM and GIS models: contribution to knowledge and social innovation” - HAR2016-78113-R. This project’s aim is to explore the application of these digital models, fundamentally based on BIM (Building Information Modelling) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to the integral and sustainable management of the heritage guardianship: from an element or set to territorial scale figures From this integral proposal, we centre our attention on the heritage knowledge area, the origin of other guardianship actions, and on its transfer to the diverse disciplines involved (Pinto Puerto, 2018). The analysis of the data will lead us to a deeper knowledge, as well as contributing to the systemisation and standardisation of the information compiled
