Today, one of the important topics, which are mentioned in architecture, is the relationship between architectural works with each other and way of effect of such works on them. On the other hand, under current conditions and despite existing trends which look for their own architecture, it is crucial important to interpret how contemporary architectural works are affected by previous architect...

a prerequisite to seismic hazard assessment is to have knowledge of historical and prehistorical earthquakes. to obtain such data, researchers have already practiced different methods including historical seismology, paleoseismology, and recently archaeoseismology. archaeoseismology is a multidisciplinary approach which ideally tries to find the age, epicenter, and magnitude of past earthquakes...

This study focuses on the integration of panoramic photographs and web-based GIS. The integration of complementary technologies provides more powerful results in GIS applications. Collecting and assembling a series of digital images of large geographic areas into single panoramic images allow the user to view a multi-dimensional map that provides significantly more geographic information. By ad...

The conservation of built heritage is becoming increasingly important, and may even be an obligation for future generations. Techniques must therefore be developed to help document heritage and thus improve knowledge and conservation. The terrestrial laser scanning technique allows a massive capture of points of an object. Among its main applications are to obtain geometries of historic buildin...

The article is devoted to the vectors and marks in development of Perm State Regional Universal Library named after A.M. Gorky rare collection for a long historical period: from its foundation 1836–1935 formation all traditional collections areas activity. Particular attention paid changes that undergoing recent years connection with introduction concept “book monuments”, new approach conservat...

The conservation of World Heritage is critical to the cultural and social sustainability of regions and nations. Risk monitoring and preventive diagnosis of threats to heritage sites in any given ecosystem are a complex and challenging task. Taking advantage of the performance of Earth Observation technologies, we measured the impacts of hitherto imperceptible and poorly understood factors of g...

This paper describes how we could combine the two most available systems for the purpose of surveying and documenting the architectural heritage, historical buildings and monuments. The two systems are digital photogrammetry (applied in a close-range context) and CAD. The product of this integration is a 3-D GIS application. In this application, close-range photogrammetry is used for the acquis...
