Cartografia e turismo in aree rurali

The aim of this work is to treat the new role played by cartography in the valorization, management and tourist use of territorial cultural heritage in the digital era. Starting from the importance since ever played by maps for the knowledge of cultural heritage, with particular concern to archaeological and historical heritage or landscape, here we want to deepen the function of cartography in tourist development processes with a focus on the communicative aspects connected with the diffusion of modern devices and apps. Particular attention will be reserved to economically weak rural areas where it will be interesting to see how cartography, both the traditional as that disclosed through networks or social networks, is able to relate goods and usability, territory and resources, supply and demand. In these areas cartography allows to localize structures and services and represents a fundamental element for the discovery of places and for the activation of new local development processes.
