inventory and share it by using GIS technology. The sample of 
this alternate is consist of the informations of 5 historical 
buildings in Ortahisar- Trabzon. When we select a building on 
the vectoral map of Ortahisar, it allows us to see whole 
informations about the building and its place in this application. 
“GIS is a computer system capable of assembling, storing, 
manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced 
information, that means data identified according to their 
locations” (Anonymous 6). GIS combines layers of information 
about a place to give you a better understanding of it. What 
layers of information you combine depends on your purpose— 
finding the best location for a new building, analyzing 
environmental damage and similar types of information about a 
city, to help reach a decision about the location of a new 
housing development that has minimal environmental impact 
and which is located in a low-risk area and is close to a city 
center, classifying buildings and natural beauties and so on. 
“GIS works with six steps. These are relating information from 
different sources, data capture, data integration, projection and 
registration, data structures and data modeling” (Yomrahoglu, 
2000). 
One of the main benefits of GIS is improved management of 
your organization and resources. A GIS can link sets of data 
about the buildings and their environment, locational data, such 
as addresses, which helps departments and agencies share their 
data. By creating a shared database, one department can benefit 
from the work of another—data can be collected once and used 
many times. GIS provides improvement of organizational 
integration, making better decisions and maps. 
4. CONCLUSION 
The easy access linked pages which are prepared simply, being 
avaible for practical usage and also the datas which are always 
checked and upgraded are gived importance in the study. The 
rapid changes in the informatics technology makes an important 
issue current. Computer systems are always upgrade themselves 
in hardware and software so this web-page can loose its 
importance in a few time later. It is meaned that the study must 
adapt itself to today’s technological conditions in hardware and 
software technology. Also it is necessary to check for the 
informations in certain periods to define if there is a missing 
datum or a datum need to be add. It is needed to apply these 
steps into study to have it reliable. Also it is thought to have the 
study translated into different languages to make it easily 
understood by other nations. 
In contemporary life, the common problem of humanity has 
been excepted as an accelerated necessary for the 
documentation and recording process of the historic heritage. 
The results of this study help to developed reliable database can 
be a contribution to create the local and national digital cultural 
inventory. Further, it is an important issue to share them on the 
electronic or digital environment when we consider them as a 
universal cultural heritage for humanity.
