  • ISTER: Connecting Historical Danube Regions Roman Routes with a GIS-based Territorial Atlas and an Online Interactive Tool [Elektronski vir] : on metropolitan territory of hub cities
    Barborič, Blaž ...
    ISTER project addresses the challenge of Roman heritage discontinuity. Stepping further the isolated Roman settlements heritage, ISTER tackles the territorial dimension of the Roman Routes, as a ... contiguous transnational element that passes national borders acreoss the Danube region and provides a relevant scale for exchange and joint development. Therefore, ISTER’s main objective focuses on rediscovering and revitalizing the ancient Roman Roads Network along the Danube river as a key driver in promoting territorial development based on sustainable use of cultural and natural heritage. During the project, data from all local and regional partners were collected, sorted and harmonised. Based on a user requirements survey, a strategy for the deployment of the ISTER Interactive Tool was developed. The interactive tool uses the collected data and geodata for an open orientation and information platform which aims to foster knowledge about the Roman cultural heritage in the broad public. The ISTER Interactive Tool is set up as a responsive website to be used with mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. The central element of the interactive tool is a map, all information is queried from a central database as location-based service. The tool does not only provide information about the cultural heritage elements (monuments, milestones), but also provides other information which can be useful when planning a trip, like places to eat or drink, accommodation facilities, public transport stops, or supermarkets. It is available not only in English, but also in the local languages of the ISTER project partners.
