Abstract
 Historic Center Evaluation Using GIS: A System Provided to Government Track: Archaeology Author(s): Domenico Massimo, Antonino BARBALACE In Europe and Mediterranean areas an interesting focus of new urbanism are the small Historic Centres located around major towns. An important element is missed toward the implementation of the strategy for revitalization: their systematic knowledge and evaluation. Urban Appraisal provides a first step for organizing a state-of-the-art DataBase including rare historic censuses, cartographic almanacs, spatial data, scientific information. Data are georeferenced and dynamically updateable, prefiguring an "Atlas of Historic Centres", or GIS for Evaluation and Appraisal. It is useful to set-up the intermediate step of building-up an Historic Centre ranking based upon intrinsic value, use value, need for repair. Ranking is derived from thorough multi dimensional evaluation. Output of the research is a GIS containing synthesis of knowledge and critical evaluations useful for real world conservation and revitalization strategies. GIS build up has been successful because Cultural Institutions adopted it for government action design, implementation and management.
