Item Good practice for the conservation of urban settlements, vernacular architecture and surrounding landscapes(CRC Press, 2013-01-01) Eppich, R.; Espada, J. C.; Cruz, C.; Kulmer, A.; Tecnalia Research & InnovationGood practices in the conservation of urban settlements and vernacular architecture along with their surrounding landscapes can serve as examples for improving governance, economic development and tourism management. However, good innovative practice examples are often difficult to uncover and harder to comprehend. Many good practice occur simply by chance, are the work of dedicated individuals or regionally specific. Some of the greatest challenges are uncovering the formulas that make these good practices successful and then adapting them for implementation elsewhere. The HISTCAPE project is addressing these challenges by searching for good practices through site visits, research, outreach to the professional community and a rigorous system of evaluation. The project partners will then validate good practice transfer by implementing six test pilot actions in regions throughout Europe. The identification of good practice and communication of implementation strategies are important for the protection of Europe’s historical assets and rural landscapes.Item Participatory imaging mapping of cultural heritage across internal borders stolac, Bosnia and Herzegovina(2015) Hadzic, L.; Dzino-Suta, A.; Eppich, R.; Vezic, A.; Martinez, José Luis Izkara; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; LABORATORIO DE TRANSFORMACIÓN URBANADuring the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) cultural heritage was explicitly targeted and the state of destruction was extensive to both sacral and secular monuments. Two decades after the end of hostilities the perception of the historic environment is still defined from the angles of national, religious or ethnic belonging. Enabling recognition, reconciliation, tolerance and respect within the community of Stolac, Bosnia & Herzegovina through a better understanding and sharing of cultural heritage was the focus of this project. Stolac is representative of the problems in the region and stands out for its particularly sharp divisions. Until recently there was segregation with local schools and their curriculum was divided with cultural heritage generally not addressed. How can this small community engage with heritage and develop a dialogue that encourages tolerance, respect and as a base for development? How does one understand, then document areas significance to the community? Finally, how can technology assist? The focus of this paper is to relate the experiences and findings of a project that incorporated participatory imaging mapping and the use of technology to bridge between the internal borders of this small community. It will outline a methodology, experiences of the participants and results from their exercises in order to assist other communities facing similar issues.
