SCEH - Smart Cultural and Environmental Heritage: local strategies, innovative applications, development of both economic and cultural aspects of Sicilian cultural heritage
Purpose: this falls within the ambit of the project co-financed by the Working Programme “Programma Operativo Obiettivo Convergenza 2017-2013, Fondo Sociale Europeo, Regione Siciliana, Asse IV - Capitale Umano Avviso Pubblico 1/2012 - Rafforzare l'occupabilità nel sistema della R&S e la nascita di Spin Off di Ricerca in Sicilia". The aim of the project, very briefly, is to draw up, on the basis of an in-depth critical analysis of current experience, a series of recommendations of a strategic and practical nature on the innovative management of the archaeological and monumental heritage, and on the related development of a series of actions guided by the principle of sustainable development. It is not a matter of drawing up a model of touristic promotion of the archaeological and monumental heritage, but of identifying best practices and guiding principles which can steer the decisions of those responsible for the management of heritage locations or the provisions for tourism associated with them.
