Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015 by the United Nations, culture is mentioned for the first time in the international development agenda. Its protection, preservation and promotion, it contributes directly to several SDGs.
The research and practice worldwide shows that cultural heritage and sustainable development is of great importance in national and international level. The documentation of cultural heritage, both in natural and built environment is a vital process towards its preservation and technologies and tools are playing an important role in the documentation practice.
A wide range of technologies and tools, originating both from commercial and open source background is available. Imaging and other digital sensors, information processing, modelling and management tools are just few of the many available solutions. New technologies and tools are under development in research labs across the world.
I am glad to invite you to submit your most recent and fresh ideas and outcomes from your research related to the documentation of cultural heritage and the related technologies and tools for this specific Special Issue. This Special Issue aims to provide the floor to anyone interested in cultural heritage preservation and the role of documentation, to present the new developments in this field.
These are just some of the topics that this Special Issue will try to address. All of you interested in joining this attempt, be aware that the theme for this Special Issue opens multiscale, multidisciplinary and open inquiries.
Prof. Dr. Efstratios Stylianidis
