The course aims to show the potentialities offered by GIS systems of organization and management of research, design and restoration work in the field of Cultural Heritage. GIS technology, already applied in disciplines such as archeology and museum management, revealed, on the one hand, its extraordinary potentiality as a tool for managing information and, on the other hand, the relative difficulty, connected to the spread of its use in the conservative practice.

Total Course 48 lecture hours corresponding to 6 CFU.

- students must obtain a good ability to use the dedicated software and be able to independently develop a project on the types of exercises in the classroom.

- the student will must be able to produce a report in electronic format (* .docx, * .pdf, * .pptx) with which communicate the results obtained from the development of the project realized.

- During the oral exam the student will have to explain, with the appropriate language, the development of the project and the results obtained.
