Session description
Computer science in urban history
Abstract:
The aim is to promote a wide range of interaction between methodologies and experiences regarding digitalization and management of cartographic and thematic databases.
Experiences may differentiate between simple indexing as well as digitalisation procedures, useful for a better conservation and fruition of the documentary patrimony – e.g. through the web –, and cultural heritage conservation practices, in order to support policies for a correct management of the historical city.
A crucial topic will be the integration between cartographic and thematic sources (descriptive, quantitative or iconographic) regarding with well defined spatial and temporal dimensions. In this context, will be promoted a discussion on potentiality and weaknesses of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for historical data’s acquisition and management, and for understanding city evolution through spatial data analysis. Case studies should illustrate different levels of data integration and spatial analysis’ examples based on archive sources, regarding characteristics of city's physical structure (expansions, demolitions, building consistency and typologies, land uses, etc) as well as socio-economic aspects (population, property, ownerships, economic activities, etc).
