CI PA 2003 XIX th International Symposium, 30 September - 04 October, 2003, Antalya, Turkey
5.5 Web Studies
A web portal will play an intermedia role for web based
applications and a presentable interface to disseminate
and display all the information in databases, videos,
photos, documents, geographical reference points, maps;
plans and graphic informations.
5.6 Using and Sharing the Obtained Results
For the benefit of the future generations there are other
ways to disseminate the information obtained from this
project. The following will show the other ways our team
will employ:
a. Our team will design a special historical game
covering the results, photos, satellite maps,
animations, graphics we obtained from this
project. This way not only the future
generations but also the adults will make a fun
way to learn more about the history of this area.
b. Our team will also concentrate on the education
of children. The valuable information obtained
from this project must be presented in
educational CD-ROMs and via internet as
distance learning project. This way public make
use of this valuable knowledge. In education
we have to consider two different levels: First
level is the prelimary school level and the
second level is high school level. The
information must be presented according to the
necessities of this two different levels.
5.7 Mobile Applications of the Obtained Results
Mobile applications are playing crucial role for the
foreign visitors who are hungary for information
Especially if they have their mobile phones or PDA’s
with the internet access they can easily reach the
historical data of the region that they are in and they will
learn about the archaeological excavations, artifacts,
museums geographical coordinates and other valuable
information (Figure 9). If we consider that European
people’s mobile telephone high penetration numbers this
application will a lot to do for these people.
Figure 9. Photos and information about the
archaeological site can be get by using mobile
phones and PDAs.
5.8 Other Studies
During the area studies and reviews with the
archaeological experts the video team will record all the
valuable information in audia-visual formats which can
be edited for a documentary film.
Workshops will be organized to disseminate information
and to form discussion environments for the proceedings
and the results of this project.
The results and achievements of this project will be
published after the project will be completed.
6. CONCLUSION
This project will not only enhance the public’s
understanding of cultural values and their roots but also
educate them to be respectful of cultural values.
Therefore people become more aware of the their
environment and cultural affairs. Remote sensing and
geographical information systems with the other leading
technologies of protection help us watching the state of
the historical places and warned us if any change
happened. The cultural values are protected and
preserved by this way. There is another benefit also
brought by this project is any infrastructural construction
process plan will be adjusted according to the maps of
cultural heritages. This project also plays a great role in
the education of the children since the web site and the
CD-ROMs distributed will show them cultural heritages
in an multi media environment and in an interactive way.
Game desgined for this specific project will also help the
dissemination of this project’s results.
In terms of touristic benefits this project will enhance the
enthusiasim towards these cultures and these lands. So
Turkey will have an increased number of tourists and
web portal and mobile applications will donate tourists
with necessary information such as historical
information, location, coordinates, accomodation,
transportation, related ancient city mythos and etc.
This project also helps to the construction of an
archaeological network between the scientists,
archaeologists and respective disciplines and related
firms. This network will promise us future successes and
future benefit of this project. The technologies and
approaches will constitute a model for other research
areas.
This project will also help the ministries or governmental
agencies such as Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Environment,
Public Works and municipalities in many aspects. Some
of the information gathered from this project will only be
shared by these governmental institutions and others will
be disseminated publicly.
