This book approaches cultural landscape as a driver for societal
challenges, economic development, social inclusion, place
assessment and heritage conservation. It explores issues stemming
from the relation between conservation and emergencies, and
identifies descriptive tools for conveying knowledge and generating
new expertise, heritage skills, seismic culture and social
resilience. The documentation of landscapes, due in part to new
technologies, increasingly involves integrated methodologies and
graphic outcomes such as Heritage-BIM, advanced 3D modeling, and
immersive environments. According to recent UNESCO recommendations,
the process of mapping places is a necessary prerequisite for
design action, and also includes the emotional and perceptive
dimension, so as to represent space through visual thought and
produce graphic materials. The chapters presented here will
ultimately support efforts to overcome the emergency phase of
reconstruction after natural disasters and, by exploring relevant
issues in recent studies, will describe emerging tools that can
help inspire practices that concern not only agrarian and urban,
but also historic urban landscapes. The work also presents planning
tools to help preserve the integrity and authenticity of urban
heritages. The book will benefit all scholars and practitioners who
are involved in the process of understanding, designing and
transforming places, and will foster an international exchange of
research, case studies, and best practices to confront the
practical challenges involved in keeping cultural landscapes alive.
