Abstract
All countries around the world are blessed with particularly rich cultural heritage. Nowadays, many researchers are exploring different methods for documentation, management, and sustainability of cultural heritage. The aim of this article is to review the state-of-the-art documentation, management, and sustainability techniques in the field of cultural heritage based on the case study in the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów. Various 2D/3D image and range-based methods are discussed demonstrating their applications and drawbacks. The geographical information system (GIS) is presented as a method for management, storage, and maintenance of cultural heritage documentation.
Highlights
The processes of contemporary social and cultural transformation have been undergoing profound changes in which the important role of cultural factors is increasingly being recognized. It is worth quoting the position of the Polish National Commission for UNESCO: “In the 21st-century of our era, the fundamental, still developing and emerging, element of culture, which is the essence of sustainable development, has gained significance
The inclusion of culture in development policy at all levels contributes to the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expression, and to the accessibility and participation of everyone. It seems that the idea of the protection of cultural heritage being a factor slowing down economic development—something that has been present in the social mentality for generations– is falling out of favor, since both local authorities and private sector representatives are becoming increasingly aware that cultural heritage and its preservation can bring numerous economic benefits
This section will cover the review of methods applied in cultural heritage documentation, management, and sustainability followed by the presentation of existing state-of-the-art sensors together with the discussion considering their advantages and disadvantages as well as possible further improvements
Summary
The processes of contemporary social and cultural transformation have been undergoing profound changes in which the important role of cultural factors is increasingly being recognized. It should be noted that the 21st century approach to the protection of monuments, and cultural heritage in general, is radically different from the activities undertaken even a quarter of a century ago. At present, it is increasingly becoming an expression of an interdisciplinary approach to culture and its importance in the process of sustainable development. Among the most important changes affecting the perception and reception of culture as the third decade of the 21st century is approaching, one should certainly mention technological progress It is radically changing the way information is created and transmitted, and it increases public participation in the processes relating to both culture in general and documenting monuments in particular. Using the example of activities undertaken at the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów, the aim is to show that the development and popularization of culture can take place in accordance with the principles of sustainable development
