Digital Cultural Landscape Past, Present and Future
The Digital Cultural Landscape applying digital technologies, such as GIS, in cultural landscape are used to understand how cultural landscape relates spatially to its natural and human environment;communicate knowledge and network databases;test proposed development models and conservation strategies;facilitate monitoring and management of sites.As history, the using of digital tools in the field of cultural landscape can be dated back to the early of 1970s, which associated with the proposition for a complete digitization of the surveying process and data mapping.At present, digital technology has largely applied into cultural landscape information system frameworks through the integrating of hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, integrating, and visualizing all forms of geographically referenced information.Moreover, these digital information is available to create elevation and 3D models, and share of data through network databases, or known as web-base.With the aids of digital tools, it helps us to make better decision in cultural landscape planning, such as cultural site selection, cultural route/corridor selection, cultural conservation, etc.In the field of cultural landscape, the role of citizens is very important to reach effective cultural resources preservation.The participatory approaches to cultural landscape planning are supported by participatory GIS on its spatial information and communication management.Integrating GIS and GPS, the locations of cultural landscape elements are documented with local communities.Using the locational information, the GIS will tie together measured drawings of specific areas, aerial photographs, historic maps and other documents.Satellite blog system enables the users upload their message, photos, and video of cultural landscapes onto the high resolution satellite images with social media, which includes web--and mobile-based technologies.Organizations are now able to supply the public with decision-making environments based around GIS across the Internet, enhancing the two-way flow of information between the public and those governing them,developing communities interested in particular problems and aiding the formation of a democratic consensus in problem areas.In the future, the vision of digital cultural landscape should be strengthened through improving the requirements it implied, such as access to computer processing cycles, broadband internet, interoperability of systems,and above all data organization, storage, and retrieval.The ongoing care and interpretation of cultural landscape through digital tools can improve our quality of life and deepens a sense of place and identity for future generations.Lastly, the recent idea of Digital Earth has a brilliant prospect in the realm of cultural landscape because of its various benefits, which included cost savings and increased efficiency in implementation, communication and record keeping.Digital Earth could become a platform of cultural landscape.More integration of Digital Earth concept with cultural landscape is imperative in order to create better and comprehensive environment for our Earth and culture.
