Digital Restoration of the Heritage Landscape through a GIS-Based Approach: Case Study of the Gochang Dolmen Site in South Korea


World Heritage Site: Gochang, Hwasun and Ganghwa Dolmen Sites

Publication Year: 2025

Publication Type: Article

Publication Identifier: WHEDF4B2E264C

Summary

A GIS-based approach reveals the Gochang Dolmen Site's broader prehistoric landscape, including lost or marginalized megalithic features, challenging monument-centric heritage narratives. By integrating national heritage data with 3D visualizations, researchers reconstruct displaced or damaged dolmens, offering new insights into South Korea’s cultural history and aligning with digital heritage management policies. This method not only supports conservation but also democratizes heritage discourse by reintegrating absent sites into public memory.
