Preserving historical and cultural artifacts through generations is essential for maintaining the roots and ensuring the development of any civilization. Conservation and restoration works are crucial in order to save numerous historical and cultural heritages in our country and the world and also pass on them from generation to generation. Nowadays, the increasing development in measurement technologies and the integration of photogrammetry into architectural applications have provided different perspective in architectural documentation applications. In this context, Terrestrial laser scanning method is a current method used in documentation studies today. The most important advantages of terrestrial laser scanning in this study are as follows: -the point cloud data obtained by terrestrial laser scanners provides the opportunity to reach the correct data at the desired frequency in a short time, -obtaining appropriate and practical results for the targeted study,-the possibility of using scanners in different working areas. In this context, laser scanners have become one of the popular methods in which effective and successful results are obtained in architectural documentation projects such as survey, restitution and restoration. Within the scope of this study, ''Ali Efendi Muallimhanesi'', which is one of the historical and cultural heritage of Konya province, was scanned with a terrestrial laser scanner and 3D drawing and modeling was carried out with the help of the cad-based modeling tools only using 3D point cloud data.

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 held in Baku on 04-07, September 2018. EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 is a candidate of one of the most important event in the scientific schedule and tenders a possibility for researchers and academicians who researches on GIS and related disciplines. You can find a first class programme of plenary speakers, technical sessions, exhibitions and social events in this book. You will be able to catch up with the developments in Geographical Information Sciences, Information Technology, Environmental Management and Resources, Sustainable Agriculture, Surveying, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, meet friends and experience the traditional and fascinating culture of AZERBAIJAN. As a international congress in the field of geo-spatial information and remote sensing, EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 is devoted to promote the advancement of knowledge, research, development, education and training in Geographical Information Sciences, Information Technology, Environmental Management and Resources, Sustainable Agriculture, Surveying, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, their integration and applications, as to contribute to the well-being of humanity and the sustainability of the environment. The EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 will provide us an opportunity to examine the challenges facing us, discuss how to support Future Earth with global geo-information, and formulate the future research agenda. 150 scientists from 13 countries attended to the congress. 7 plenary speakers, 120 oral presentations and 8 poster presentations, all together with 135 in total, are presented during the congress. 135 presentations take place in 21 sessions in three days. Karabörk, et al., (2019) presented in the organization was selected for publication in IJEGEO 6(1) as Short Communication.

Geographic Information Systems is an information system that collects graphical or nongraphical data using location-dependent attribute data, processes them with different analysis methods and provides the information they want. This system is made by creating point, line or polygon based objects. GIS's point, line or

Integrating building information modeling (BIM) technology into historical and cultural heritage structures has resulted in historic building information modeling (H-BIM), an effective method for managing and documenting invaluable historical artifacts. H-BIM has the potential to aid with the design, restoration, and maintenance activities of historical buildings by properly integrating parametric data and deliberately assessing semantic information, thus progressing the 3D model’s performance. H-BIM also aims to conduct cultural heritage (CH) studies in a systematic manner by combining 3D modeling techniques and information management. The first step in this process is to conduct a suitable geomatic survey to build accurate 3D models. The most efficient modeling method is to employ 3D point cloud data that are acquired using the terrestrial laser scanning method. This study proposes a manual modeling strategy for urban historical buildings that falls within the scope of the H-BIM methodology. The proposed modeling strategy follows a workflow that inserts point cloud data into the BIM environment in order to create a 3D urban cultural heritage model using ontologies applied with the H-BIM methodology. With this objective in mind, the H-BIM model development platform Revit was used to model the object elements of the inheritance structure in 3D and save them in the BIM library. It is very important to model building elements separately in 3D modeling studies. The resulting BIM product sheds light on fundamental data for the future planning, design, operation, and maintenance processes of the building. Users can obtain data suitable for H-BIM by adding graphical and non-graphical data.
