The sustainable management of heritage tourism sites requires an integrated approach that balances cultural preservation with socio-economic development. Modern methods of documentation include laser scanning, LiDAR sensors, and aerial photogrammetry. This study explores the application of advanced geospatial and digital technologies to the archaeological park of Dion, located in the Olympus region of Pieria, Greece—a site characterized by monuments from various historical periods. Using high-precision methods and high-end software, we produced detailed 3D models and developed a comprehensive digital platform incorporating Web-GIS applications. These outputs extend beyond conventional documentation, offering tools for education, community engagement, and participatory decision making. The originality of this work lies in its interdisciplinary synthesis of digital heritage technologies and land-use planning, contributing to both academic discourse and practical strategies for sustainable tourism development. The platform not only safeguards cultural assets but also promotes inclusive innovation, job creation, and long-term planning models aligned with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This case study contributes not only to the safeguarding of cultural heritage for future generations but also to reshaping tourism models that prioritize long-term sustainability over rapid economic gain.

The application of contemporary methods, tools and the equipment to produce technical documentation for heritage buildings is a cuttingedge topic that brings together engineers from various fields of technical sciences. Focusing on one specific heritage example, that is the church of St. Luke in Athens, this paper explains entire methodological process of generating the data on physical characteristics of architectural objects by combining several geo-spatial methods and techniques. The final product is the spatial model of church building, formed from generated point cloud. The model represents a basis from which different forms of technical documentation can be produced, from layouts and elevations, to sections, to details, to 3D representations.

Stone bridges, all around Europe stand as enduring testaments to engineering mastery, cultural heritage, and historical continuity. They served as crucial infrastructural lifelines, connecting communities and fostering trade routes. Their enduring presence symbolizes the craftsmanship and innovation of their eras, reflecting diverse regional styles and technological advancements. Geometric documentation of a stone bridge provides critical insights into its structural integrity, aiding in preservation efforts. Accurate data obtained through geomatic techniques ensures informed conservation decisions, safeguarding the bridge's historical significance for future generations. This paper focuses on the geometric documentation of the Ribnica Bridge in Podgorica, Montenegro.

This paper outlines a method for researching and recording heritage in remote mountainous regions, using the Municipality of Pogoni, Community of Dolo, Greece, as a case study. It details the documentation of various monuments with high accuracy and precise 3D rendered models. Emphasizing the importance of preserving cultural heritage in remote areas, geospatial technologies are integrated to understand artifacts and traditions. The "GeoDolo Portal" provides access to educational and historical content on architectural structures. The findings underscore the importance of geospatial tools in enhancing the documentation process and fostering community engagement for sustainable heritage conservation initiatives.

This paper presents an integrated geomatics workflow for the digital documentation of historic sites of incarceration and political repression, focusing on Corfu Prisons, Greece. Using modern geomatics methodologies, the study produces a high-resolution, multi-source dataset that captures the architectural, spatial, and material characteristics of the site. The resulting outputs form the basis for a broader Digital Archive of Memory, designed to support heritage preservation, historical research, and public engagement. The research demonstrates how geomatics can provide rigorous documentation for vulnerable and contested heritage sites, contributing to their long-term protection and interpretive accessibility.
