CRM Cultural Resource Management

he World Heritage Convention of 1972 set a number of documentation standards for the protection of the world’s cultural and natural heritage. GIS is the perfect tool to execute the convention’s management procedures.

GIS is great for Research, Analysis, Response and Implementation policies. This is the foundation of Cultural Resource Management (CRM). Nowadays; we can find CRM applications being used in museums, scientific research institutions and in many other organizations managing cultural resources. At the same time that CRM applications manage cultural resources, they can also safeguard heritage sites, promote tourism and defend cultural rights.
