Abstract

This paper aims to provide insights on the added value of digital technology for representing a sense of place and belonging within local communities. In particular, we look at how collaborative mapping software, location-based applications, and 3D reconstructions can be successfully employed as workshop instruments to facilitate digital literacies that negotiate place-based narratives and identities in the Ecomuseum della Via Appia (EVA) in Latiano, Italy. We argue that these geospatial technologies are powerful facilitators for creating digital
literacies that reflect the community’s awareness of history and identity
and involving local communities in decision-making activities on local
heritage management. Our findings are based on activities and stakeholder
meetings that were organized by EVA in close collaboration with the Spatial
Information Laboratory (SPINlab) of VU University Amsterdam in southern Italy
in 2016 and 2017.
