Virtual Reality in Cultural Landscape

Research work by Dr. Kamal Abdullfatah

The aim is to explore the possibilities of cultural landscape documentation, in order to enhance and encourage landscape research, cultural landscape and environmental values, and working towards development perspectives for a sustainable future through promoting cultural landscape tourism. This is very important because it comes in an epoch of history, in which the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, their history and their cultural heritage is increasing and getting more brutal. The Palestinian cultural heritage is exposed since many decades to fierce, inhuman campaigns of de-Arabization, designification, destruction and Jadaization. The main objectives of this pioneer research are: Typifying the main elements of the Palestinian cultural landscapes. Exploring the suitable methods of documenting the cultural landscapes. Through virtual reality techniques. Exploring the possibility of using the virtual reality landscapes documentation for practical uses i.e. educational, touristic, and planning purposes. (Ongoing research work)
