ABSTRACT:
This manuscripts contains the description of the 3-years project made by the Ural Regional Center of Geoinformation
“Uralgeoinform” and makes only the brief review of the project that makes possible the protection of the objects of historical and
cultural heritage in Sverdlovsk region.
Modem state of collection and storing of materials on monuments of historical-cultural heritage (HCH) is characterized by
the variety of documents used for establishing of archives, registries and accounting documents. Services for information accounting
and storing is spending much time for preparation and issuing of necessary materials both to customers and own departments
including executives (agreement-legislative, inspector, information-analytical, rehabilitating, branch of architectural monuments,
accounting). The materials used by these services are rather various: text documentation, historical records, technical passports,
layouts of land sites, floor plans, results of stereophotogrammetric survey (digital models of facades, drawings of measurements),
photo-materials and so o n. With the increase of information flow it becomes more and more complicated to carry out accounting,
storing, issuing and joint application by various services and customers. The development of modem technologies allows to optimize
joint work of services, that become an impulse for establishment the basis for a concept of geoinformational system “Historical-
cultural heritage of Sverdlovsk oblast” (abbreviation GIS HCH SO).
INTRODUCTION:
The aim of the project is solution of the tasks of state protection
of objects of immovable historical-cultural heritage of
Sverdlovsk oblast.
GIS HCH SO is a geoinformational system of a state body of
protection, directed on collecting, storing and application of
information on the objects of historical-cultural heritage and
their territories, and also the possibility of quick and effective
monitoring and analysis of obtained information.
The main task of the project is to establish an open
geoinformational system characterizing the state of objects of
HCH SO.
Subdivisions of state bodies of protection and use of
monuments of history and culture should have the possibility of
operative reaction on demands from the side of external
services, activity of which concerns the questions of rent,
insurance and use of monuments. In connection with this
question GIS must include a block of automation of protection-
rent activity. It is a complex task including development and
introducing of a system of automated document circulation
between subdivisions and the authority of the body of
monuments protection, and also a module of complex analysis
interesting monuments among the fine arts of the ancient
population of this territory.
The specialists from the Ural Regional center of geoinformation
“Uralgeoinform” within 3 years develop the project that allows
to automate the processes of data using, saving and processing.
Such data is collected from documental funds of the Sverdlovsk
regional state cultural institution. Today the following
technologies were developed:
1. The technologies of fund transmission to
electronic form.
2. The methods of electronic achieve saving and
using.
3. The bank of different cartographic materials.
4. The spatial co-ordination and conjunction of the
objects of the cultural-historical heritage.
5. the technology of creating the historical-
architectural plans
6. the projects of protected zones with the help of
geoinformational technologies and 3D-modeling.
The following steps of creating electronic achieve are expected:
• preliminary classification of the
organization documental funds over the
carries and types of information along with
the choice of the technology for scanning
and hardware.
allowing to carry out specialized requests to thematic data bases
and generate information-analytical reports of various content

1.1. Electronic achieve.
Fourteen historical cities, about 3000 historical, archeological
and architectural monuments are placed on the territory of
Sverdlovsk oblast. All of them are protected by federal, regional
and local (municipal) power. The Ural rock paintings (The
Neiva river, Kapova and Ignatievka caves) are the most
The fund consists of:
• over 10000 documents on the paper media
(technical and accounting passports,
historical references, pictures),
• over 1000 materials of
stereophotogrammetric survey
(diapositives, the plans of
stereophotogrammetric survey of
monument facade’s and interior’s), plans,
