Objective
The management and costing of the care of cultural heritage is a multidiscipinary activity involving both technical and economic information. In order to provide managers with the right information a multi-disciplinary package is required which combines both the economic and technical data in an accessible format.
Modern Information Technology (IT) techniques enable seamless blending of diverse types of information, such as technical, economic and cultural data, and immense flexibility regarding user interaction. Such techniques are ideally suited to draw together International expertise on heritage matters, spatial and temporal modelling of air pollution, and environmental policy and standards, into a integrated package with an accessible user-friendly interface. This would enable those in control of monuments to readily assess the economics of intervention at local and national level drawing on current 'best practice' defined in the integrated interactive package.
The proposal will develop a basis for an integrated IT economic management tool focusing on providing a cost benefit analysis of remediation to cultural heritage buildings. The project aim is to produce a prototype package incorporating data from the partner countries with case studies on the use of the package for prominent buildings in a number of European countries. The project will evaluate the options for designing software and providing ancillary information across a number of different IT platforms (e.g. PC, Internet, mainframe) with the objective of determining whether it is possible to enable practitioners, surveyors, architects, owners and regional civic bodies to arrive at an estimate of the cost benefit associated with the management of buildings within their care using such a system.
The work is to be carried out in six main work packages on
1. Physical factors
Item (i) Modelling the spatial and temporal variation of
environmental degradation factors
Item (ii) Response of materials to environmental degradation factors 2. Indirect costs
3. Direct costs
4. Environmental policy
management
5. Development of management tool
6. User Group
Cost-benefit scenarios included in the model will be a comparison of costs between changes in environmental degradation factors (e.g. reductions in gaseous pollution), the value of cultuIal heritage to the community, and the value of changes in policy regarding cultural heritage.
