Preserving Mediterranean heritage in a changing climate through digital cultural landscapes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Mediterranean islands face continuing transformation aggravated by the effects of climate change, such as sea-level rise and extreme weather events. These impact the tangible and intangible heritage of island communities and their wellbeing. This article demonstrates how digital cultural landscapes (DCL) can be used in virtual reality to preserve heritage, inform people of endangered heritage, and record local knowledge. An exhibit design of the elements that make up DCL is provided as well as a discussion of DCL use. A tool such as DCL can be used to foster a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between culture and environment, ensuring the continuity of Mediterranean heritage in the face of evolving climatic conditions.
