Sustainability and resilience of tangible cultural Heritage 

The main objectives of Spoke 8 are: integrating technologies and sciences for Tangible Cultural Heritage (TCH); Shaping and developing phigital infrastructures for TCH inventories/cadastres able to support different knowledge paths and maximize accessibility; Evidence-based assessment workflows identifying cultural relevance/value/potentials of sites, areas and territories; Inter/transdisciplinary driven actualization, sustainability, resilience of TCH considering the connected value chain and in particular: anthropic/natural/climate influence, holistic preservation, societal needs, cultural relevance and economic impacts; Developing tailor-made strategies/models for inclusive and participatory management/governance of TCH and community awareness promotion; Promoting good practices, coordination actions, operational guidelines/standards for interaction/cooperation between society and public/private bodies/organizations, reinforcing cooperation/communication/intercomprehension of national bodies, EU research organisations and international public/private actors; Capacity building of staff to support public/private bodies, units and entities (museum system/networks, centres, sites, hubs) dedicated/connected to/involved in TCH sustainability and resilience. Spoke WPs/workflow relate with all the others (see below) according to specific milestones. 

Planned activities are:

• Improved technological tools and scientific procedures for TCH data capturing at large (i.e. documenting, dating, classifying, recording, measuring, etc.) 

• Standard procedures and phygital infrastructures for information creation, archiving, editing, retrieval - regional, regional or supra-regional urban and territorial settings

• Comprehensive methodology for assessment of information potentials and cultural relevance/value of selected TCH contexts (i.e. artefacts assemblages, built heritage; GLAM; archaeological sites; sub-regional, regional or supra-regional urban and territorial settings 

• Inter/transdisciplinary driven actualization, sustainability and resilience of TCH

•  Inter/transdisciplinary driven actualization, sustainability and resilience of TCH

• Value chain establishment for TCH referring to anthropic/natural/climate influence, holistic regional, regional or supra-regional urban and territorial settings 

•  Actualization, sustainability and resilience of TCH combining material and non material aspects 

•  More effective strategies/models for inclusive and participatory management/governance of TCH and community awareness promotion 

• Improved, coordination actions, operational guidelines/standards for interaction/cooperation between society and public/private bodies/organizations 

•  More prepared staff able to support public and private bodies, units and entities dedicated/connected to/involved in TCH sustainability and resilience

•  Increase of users’ awareness about TCH potentials and fragility 

•  Improving the health of ecosystems/habitats, promoting healthy lifestyles through integrated policies and plans

• Environmental, infrastructural and basic social function safety; protection of open and usable urban public spaces 

•  ICT technologies for: territorial/regional/urban survey/planning, environment, territorialisation of social phenomena, decision support system 

• Governance solutions to support climate policies
