El inventario del patrimonio arquitectónico debe enfrentarse a problemas de gestión y almacenamiento de grandes cantidades de información en formatos heterogéneos, además de la necesidad de organizar y administrar la información generada por el trabajo colaborativo entre los diferentes técnicos que participan en el proceso de documentación. La solución implica la creación de una base normalizada para planificar y ejecutar el registro digital de la documentación gráfica. Con este fin, se presenta un Sistema de Información del Patrimonio Arquitectónico Mudéjar de Aragón, con el propósito de integrar bajo un soporte común, toda la documentación e información gráfica disponible del elemento patrimonial, con el propósito de elaborar un inventario para su conservación y divulgación. Se plantea la implementación de una herramienta que permita la difusión y explotación de la información por parte de diferentes usuarios a través de un portal web que integre un visor cartográfico (WebGIS) y el acceso a un gestor de nube de puntos basado en WebGL.

The enhancement of heritage, both cultural and natural, must be considered as a resource for revitalizing the territory. In this context, Aragon has a great landscape and cultural heritage that is scattered throughout the territory and is not very accessible. It needs to be properly documented and inventoried as a means of activating new processes of knowledge, enhancement and use of rural development. This work is devoted to the creation of the Digital 3D Inventory of the Aragonese Mudejar Architectural Heritage, which includes buildings that currently have little graphic and imprecise documentation, since many of them are located in small towns of less than 500 inhabitants, with urban fabric of narrow streets. To carry out the registration, the use of drones to capture images and later the construction of the point cloud with photogrammetry, it is an adequate technical and economically sustainable solution since it deals with populations plagued by depopulation and with few resources. A generalized methodology is proposed to collect, store and disseminate 2D/3D geometric and geospatial documentation of inventoried buildings, providing more graphic information than traditional architectural inventories. As a novelty, for the dissemination of information, the creation of a web platform composed of a cartographic viewer (WebGIS) and a point cloud manager based on WebGL technology is proposed as a valuable tool to relate buildings with their environment, characteristic of great importance in the case of heritage located in rural areas.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.29.2022.8

In the years 2005-2009, The Institute for Archaeological Monuments and Sites (CNR-IBAM) participated with "The Virtual Museum of Iraq," sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and developed with the scientific coordination of the National Council of Research. This paper describes in detail the peculiarities of the webGIS implemented for the submission of certain centers of ancient Mesopotamia. From image processing to extract the satellite map data for documentary base, until the creation of the structure and web interface: an experiment in communication history and archeology that extends the classical concept of "museum", extending also to contexts of discovery and the link between the historic landscape and man.

This paper tries to outline the main methodological obstacles that have to be addressed and overcome at reconstructing late colonial Spanish American territories and their development by means of a historical Geographic Information System (HGIS). First we try to show how historians with a broad gamut of research interests could profit from such a territorial HGIS infrastructure for that time and space. In a second step we try to show how certain aspects complicate the task. These include: vernacular concepts of territory (definitions of what actually is a “province”); the quality, focus, and methods of data gathering in contemporary geographic descriptions, cartographies, and other sources; the lack of definition of interior borders; the sometimes contradictory divisions in military, civil, ecclesiastical, and financial districts; as well as the general discrepancy between administrative control and political claims. And as if these aspects were not enough, there are the competing claims on territories of sovereignty in Latin America, which —by applying the uti possidetis juris principle— are largely based on colonial territories. In the last part, we outline the basic concept of a spatial database which tries to respond to the raised issues and furthermore incorporates a chronological axis. The model is illustrated by giving the example of the Puno-region.

Nesse trabalho foram construídos indicadores que expressam as condições gerais da água, saneamento e saúde no Brasil, produzidos a partir de diversos sistemas de informação. Foram selecionadas 94 variáveis que subsidiaram a criação de 73 indicadores segundo três eixos: A qualidade da água, as condições de saneamento e agravos de saúde relacionados à água. Estes indicadores foram adequados para serem utilizados em forma de tabelas e mapas em ambiente de SIG na web. A possibilidade de visualizar estes dados em mapas pode auxiliar gestores de saúde e saneamento, tanto no que diz respeito ao aperfeiçoamento destes serviços, quanto para a melhoria do preenchimento dos sistemas de informação. Os cidadãos têm se apropriado das informações disponibilizadas para instrumentalizar ações civis na luta pelos direitos de saneamento. O site tem sido visitado tanto para avaliar condições locais, com a consulta das listagens de indicadores em um único município, quanto para o mapeamento de grandes áreas com aconsulta de mapas e gráficos de um indicador. O grande número de acessos ao glossário de termos técnicos e a legislação mostra que o site tem caráter educativo e não apenas um meio de divulgação de dados.

RESUMEN: There is no doubt among most geography educators that GIS is an important tool for teaching and learning, but its use has been slowed by issues such as the cost of the software and the management of large spatial data files. The move to cloud computing is one trend that is promising for GIS in education. The "cloud" refers to a virtual network that provides many users with access to files, services, and applications. In this article I argue that cloud computing and WebGIS have the potential to transform geography education. I will describe three case studies that make use of these emerging tools in classrooms in the US, and discuss the lessons that we can learn from these cases.
