4. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS OF HAIS 
As a civilizations country, Turkey have 71.775 recorded 
cultural and natural entities and conservation areas belonging 
different terms. It is a necessity that these cultural and historical 
asset should be presented to all human being. Allowing sharing 
of information via internet, today’s developed communication 
technology allows for sharing of historical inventory 
information in computer environment. To realize this, known 
IHAs should be entered to digital environment. Followings 
define duties about this aspect should be realized in future: 
-Constituting of legal procedures for displaying of IHAs in 
digital environment 
-Constituting of digital data belonging IHAs 
-Entering of existing IHAs to the system 
-Constituting of map and re-survey information of IHAs in 
digital environment 
-Online data exchange amongst Cultural and Natural 
Conservation Committees should be provided 
-Data stored in Cultural and Natural Conservation 
Committees Head Office should be prepared for allocating 
via internet. 
5. CONCLUSION 
Using GIS techniques for accessing to right information and 
realizing needed query and analysis is an obligation in the 
institutions use spatial information intensively. Spatial 
databases should be prepared both region and national base for 
specifying and controlling of IHAs in Turkey. Information 
systems for IHAs should be designed and applied respect to 
province based and administration structure of Turkey. With 
combining province databases, Cultural and Natural 
Conservation Committee Directorships databases are 
constituted. Sum of these directorships also will constitute an 
national based database. So, firstly the inventory records 
belonging IHAs and stored in province based should be 
integrated with graphic data and managed in digital 
environment. In this study, such processes that is not realized in 
classical way as rapidly accessing, graphical displaying, 
querying and analyzing of data were realized by the interface 
constituted respect to IHA’s inventory records. This interface 
will provide digital data for the database designed for Turkey. 
Because of the data density of IHAs, digital data entry should 
be started as soon as possible and transmission to information 
systems should be accelerated.
