“…Other available studies also deal with detecting relationships between heritage assets but using historical research and landscape analysis [46][47][48][49]. The issue of spatiality is especially present in landscape-based investigations as well as in other studies that pay greater attention to the possibilities generated by the creation of heritage networks and systems for the design of tourist-recreational resources, such as cultural itineraries [50][51][52].…”

This paper describes the operations carried out to generate a georeferenced heritage inventory at a supra-municipal scale. The tool establishes links between its heritage elements based on the features and characteristics of the territory. The work has been carried out on the fluvial zone of the Lower Guadalquivir, an area of approximately 8500 km2 located in Andalusia in the south of Spain. The method used is based on the digital inventory of the Andalusian immovable historical heritage generated by the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage, in which more than 500 heritage assets in the study area are indexed. The work begins with the expansion and processing of these assets with the aim of reorganizing them and establishing new parameters in their classification schemes. Subsequently, a spatial analysis developed in a GIS environment detects relationships between heritage assets determined by the physical characteristics of the territory. These relationships are contrasted by historical research, and eight heritage networks in the territory are defined as a result. Finally, one of the networks is used to show how, from the graph theory, it is possible to investigate the detected links. Ultimately, it is discussed how this study allows us to move toward new models of the heritage management of territorial dimension and relational vocation.

The significant imbalances between human settlements and their surrounding environments, stemming from sector-specific policies and urban regional planning tools, constitute a primary factor in the resilience and responsiveness of territories in crisis scenarios. Within this context, the promotion of territorial heritage values emerges as a crucial means for the reactivation of vulnerable areas. Furthermore, the utilisation of technological resources, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has proven to be highly effective in managing cultural landscape areas. This contribution aims to enhance the valorisation of territorial heritage through the geolocation of a system of architectural and archaeological assets of public interest, and by enabling the flexible design of cultural itineraries within the framework of slow tourism. For this purpose, a replicable methodology for the construction of a WebGIS application has been proposed. This methodology has been put into practice in the territorial area of the lower Guadalquivir River in Spain, which encompasses 73 municipalities and one UNESCO World Heritage Site, all interconnected by rural areas. A four-stage plan has been followed for the construction of the VIDA-HTL web application: (1) conceptualisation; (2) development; (3) technical verification; and (4) social viability. The fundamental approach of the web application is based on the comprehensive integration of subsystems related to cultural heritage on one hand, and to tourist and environmental services on the other. Two main functions for the exploration of cultural assets and designing cultural routes have been designed, which complement other capabilities implemented in the web application. As a result of a detailed standardisation process, 981 cultural assets and 43 supplementary data layers have been georeferenced and included in the web application, with customised itineraries available for planning within the study area. Additionally, 49 thematic cultural itineraries are proposed. Finally, the web application is complemented with the development of a collaborative hub, which encourages its use and enhances its capabilities. It is concluded that digital tools, such as that proposed, foster knowledge and valorisation of territorial cultural heritage, while contributing to greater local development. In this way, they function as a counterbalance to the development of metropolises and the global economy, thereby improving levels of regional resilience.

A pesar del régimen de protección jurídica que adquiere el paisaje desde la entrada en vigor del Convenio Europeo del Paisaje y de la abundante producción científica y técnica derivada, creemos que aún hoy en día la controversia sobre su naturaleza compleja y las dificultades de integrar todas las dimensiones que lo definen disminuyen la efectividad de las acciones de protección, gestión u ordenación. En este escenario, presentamos el proyecto de paisaje desde el patrimonio territorial, un marco autónomo de referencia para orientar las estrategias de diseño que afectan al paisaje a la restauración de sus dinámicas de formación. Asumimos que esta restauración es necesaria para promover un desarrollo local autosostenible. La definición de este proyecto de paisaje se basa en la fundamentación y la metodología formuladas por la escuela territorialista florentina para el proyecto integrado de territorio, con las que entendemos que persigue el mismo fin. El objetivo de la investigación es establecer los términos metodológicos y el alcance geográfico que garantizan que toda estrategia en el marco del proyecto de paisaje se orienta a la restauración de las dinámicas de formación del paisaje. La definición surge de una síntesis de las conclusiones extraídas del análisis de la metodología analítica para la proyección identitaria del territorio y de un análisis del grado de correspondencia entre las estructuras de los planes paisajísticos de la Puglia y la Toscana y de esta metodología analítica.
