The use of GIS (Geographic Information System) as a tool for the analysis of all the diverse data gathered from a monument is of great importance. Through a GIS platform, the process of characterizing and classifying data, as well as their connection to various descriptive data is presented. The descriptive data consist of historical, architectural, structural documentation, material and decay patterns data, photographs, conservation interventions documentation, cost analysis data etc. Within the framework of the preservation of built cultural heritage, the utilization of GIS, monitoring the pathology and preservation state of a monument, contributes to decision making and planning of conservation interventions and rehabilitation of the area under study. In this paper, the process of the gathering and representing data from multidisciplinary studies through a GIS platform and the elaboration of thematic maps of the buildings pathology and conservation interventions in two cases, are presented, the case of Acropolis of Erimokastro in Rhodes Island and the case Acropolis of Sarantapixo in Rhodes In conclusion, through the utilization of GIS in monuments, a dynamic multidisciplinary database is created, which can lead to its further management and conservation, aiming at the monitoring of the construction durability and sustainability.Finally, through this work it can be demonstrated that with the appropriate management of all these diverse data (data obtained from NDT & E techniques combined with spatial data) using AutoCAD and GIS, could permit the local authorities and others stakeholders to evaluate, assess and plan preservation strategies for the sustainable protection of the monuments. |
