Specialized public database of new buildings in the historic environment
A database created as a standalone application titled “Thematic Inventory of New Buildings in Historic Settings” as part of the Integrated Information System for Heritage Preservation (IISPP). The surveyed sites are located using the PaGIS geographic heritage management system, which is linked to the MIS metadata system for storing visual documentation and to the Heritage Catalog application, where historically protected areas are registered.
The first gradual result of the project will be to cover the territory of the Czech Republic with a basic area survey of urban and rural areas with historical and monumental values, with a focus on new buildings built after 1989. To summarize and inventory the results of the research, an electronic database will be created specifically for this purpose, allowing both an overview of the research process, but especially a subsequent comparison, comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the buildings under study within their environment. In this way, it will be possible to share the research findings of the individual researchers and, where appropriate, on-line discussions can be held to analyse and evaluate the relationship of the new buildings to the existing built environment.
The displayed objects will be assigned spatial identification, annotation, description, photographic documentation and evaluation of the appropriateness or inappropriateness of the intervention, contextual or controversial approach.
