GIS-HBIM applications for the analysis and management of cultural landscapes: a case study of the historic centre of Tiradentes, Brazil

[EN] The integration of Geographic Information Sys-tems (GIS) and Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) has emerged in recent years as a promising methodology for the analysis and management of cultural heritage, particularly with regard to historic sites and cultural land-scapes. This article explores the potential of com-bining these technologies to provide a more com-prehensive and relational understanding of such assets, incorporating spatial, architectural, his-torical, perceptual, and symbolic data and indica-tors. Using as a case study the cultural landscape associated with the historic centre of Tiradentes, Brazil - characterised by its rich cultural herit-age and the presence of the S & atilde;o Jos & eacute; Mountain Range, and currently subject to processes that threaten its proper conservation - the study ap-plies a methodology composed of four main stag-es: data collection; data modelling; definition and spatialisation of indicators related to local cultural identity; and cross-analysis of data within the GIS-HBIM environment, aiming to understand the interactions between territory, built heritage, in-tangible practices, and the subjective dimension of the landscape. The research findings highlight the presence of processes that undermine the in-tegrity and authenticity of both the site and the landscape, largely as a result of tourism-related activities and the lack of integrated heritage man-agement. Ultimately, the study concludes that the integration of GIS and HBIM not only enhanc-es analytical and diagnostic capacities, but also supports the development of more effective and sensitive conservation strategies that encompass both the tangible and intangible dimensions of heritage sites and landscapes.
