“…Once installed on a server, it is an integrated computer system that allows for a geoportal with an interactive web viewer [11]. Geoportals are considered to be the best tool for publishing spatial information as they make it accessible to non-GIS experts [12][13][14]. Through a web browser, Arches allows the management of users and permissions and the creation of data models (or ontologies in Arches terminology) to describe the heritage to be managed, as well as data entry and editing.…”

Since ancient times, human beings have been interested in knowing their environment in order to make the right decisions in territorial management. The spatial component is a feature of great importance in the assets that surround us. Heritage geoinformation is a convenient and effective way for management, protection and safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage. For optimal compliance, it is nowadays indispensable to rely on the use of new web technologies and geomatics knowledge that allow the documentation, visualisation, monitoring and management of heritage. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to develop a web-based cultural heritage management system in Cantón Nabón, Ecuador, as a case study. The system, consisting of a web-based geoportal accessible to the whole society, will allow consulting the geolocalised heritage information of the study area on a virtual map, as well as 3D geovisualisation in an interactive web viewer. The integrated system, once implemented, will take into consideration the preventive conservation cycle in the heritage field, highlighting, in Spanish, the creation of the heritage data models according to ISO21127:2014.

“…A geoportal was created (http://upvusig.car.upv.es/algired-en/) to make the calculation of routes easily available to users. Geoportals are suitable for making geographic information available to non-expert cartography users (Ganning et al, 2014;Resch and Zimmer, 2013).…”

Finding an optimum route on foot or by bicycle between two points in a city is no simple task. For each person the optimum route may differ according to the time they have or to their physical condition. Nowadays with vast amounts of readily available geographic data, it is possible to calculate huge quantities of types of routes that differ from the shortest one. This work presents different geoportal examples that calculate several types of routes, and optimum routes according to distinct criteria. Cartography and algorithms are detailed, which enable routes to be obtained. This work presents the stretch comfort concept. Unlike walkability, which refers to an area, stretch comfort refers to a footpath stretch. To calculate the comfort of each stretch, it is necessary to have detailed data of footpaths. The optimum route is calculated according to the comfort of footpath stretches, and the resulting route can cross different areas with a distinct walkability. One practical case is presented, carried out in the town of Alginet, near Valencia (Spain). The project consists in a geoportal that calculates the most accessible and comfortable routes, devised to encourage walking across this town (http://upvusig.car.upv.es/algired-en/). The geoportal algorithms models the factors that parents consider important to transport their children to school on foot, according to a survey. The geoportal calculates two routes, the shortest and the most comfortable. Both routes are drawn on a map of the town to be compared between them. The 2 most comfortable routes are about 4 minutes slower, but include wider footpaths, roads with less traffic and more trees and zebra crossings, and they also take into account traffic lights. The project acted as a basis to help the Alginet Town Council choose and adapt several pedestrian routes to encourage children to walk to school and back. A second survey shows than 33% of parents take their children to school on foot more frequently.

“…The WMS standard has been proven to be the most successful in enabling geographic information interoperability [34]. The geoportal enables straightforward visualization of the layers and the results of the metric analysis, making it more accessible to users who may not be experts in cartography and, therefore, not used to using specialized software [35][36][37].…”

It is widely accepted that old cadastral maps have multiple uses, such as reestablishing cadastral parcel boundaries, municipality boundaries, and coastal limits, or conducting historical, economic, and social studies. In Spain, the Directorate General for Cadastre, and the National Geographic Institute, has numerous digitized old maps that are accessible to users. In the Comunidad Valenciana, the georeferencing of certain series of old cadastral maps is being carried out in phases, which is one of the subjects of this study. A metric analysis of two series of old cadastral maps from a municipality was conducted. One of the series was georeferenced by the Valencia Provincial Cadastre Office, while the other was georeferenced in this research. Additionally, a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) was created, providing WMS, catalog, and document download services. Metadata were also published, containing information about the source, digitalization process, georeferencing, and achieved accuracy, following the ISO 19115 standard for geographic metadata. Furthermore, through individual and group interviews, participatory social research was conducted, to assess the use of old cadastral maps and the created SDI services, aiming to understand the users’ appreciation of the services. The results of the social research indicate that the SDI services created are highly valued, but certain conditions need to be met to ensure their effective use by the general public in order to avoid misuses and misinterpretations.
