Abstract: (1047 Views)

The documentation of rural settlements, a crucial element in effective planning and management, requires a systematic and goal-oriented approach. This process involves the integration of various scientific disciplines and methodologies, applied meticulously at each stage. The present research aims to share the experiences of documenting rural settlements within the unique cultural landscape of Hawraman. The documentation process encompasses 3D mapping through photogrammetry, the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the development of a detailed building inventory database. Additionally, comprehensive surveys are conducted to analyze structural elements such as pathways, plans of key buildings, architectural details, and openings. This study not only introduces modern and practical documentation techniques tailored to the cultural landscape of Hawraman but also evaluates the strengths and specific capabilities of each stage within a step-by-step, integrated methodology. Collecting precise quantitative and qualitative data throughout the process is paramount, particularly given the unique and challenging conditions of terraced rural settlements. The methods employed aim to minimize systematic errors and ensure high accuracy. The documentation efforts are part of a broader initiative to support the inclusion of the Hawraman cultural landscape on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Data gathered from 20 rural settlements in the region have been consolidated into a comprehensive documentation framework, which serves as a valuable resource for future scientific research, conservation, monitoring, promotion, and sustainable development initiatives. The findings and methodologies presented in this research offer a replicable model for documenting other historical rural and urban settlements, providing practical guidelines for heritage conservation and management.
