Open access web mapping as a virtual survey tool for cultural heritage: an application to the Armenian religious architecture documented by Paolo Cuneo

A recent study highlights the potential of open access web mapping as a powerful virtual survey tool for assessing and monitoring cultural heritage sites, particularly those vulnerable to natural hazards like earthquakes. The research demonstrates how interdisciplinary integration of ICT tools can enhance conservation efforts by providing restorers and structural engineers with accessible, graphical data representations. Focusing on the Monastery of Haghpat in Armenia, the study evaluates user perspectives on these platforms, drawing from the legacy of architect Paolo Cuneo's documentation work. By leveraging modern web-based mapping technologies, the research offers a practical approach to risk management for historical and architectural assets, bridging traditional expertise with contemporary digital solutions.
