Description

Description (EN):

The overall objective of KNOT is to create a lasting network of projects developing cultural and natural heritage in order to promote sustainable tourism and rural development. The partners aim to increase their competences in cultural and natural heritage management and to create joint tools for easier access to tourist information via the Internet and mobile phone.

Achievements (EN):

The operation has well-functioning management structure, has organised six thematic seminars and six thematic study tours, and has defined in detail the short-term and long-term activities relating to Components 3 and 4, both relating to easy access for users through internet or mobile phone to information produced by the partners. The first partner meeting was held 26-28 May 2004 hosted by the lead-partner. Further meetings were held in Loen/Stryn 23-25 September 2004, in Roscommon in Ireland between 23-27 May 2005, in Saudarkrokur, Iceland 25-29 September 2005, in Rogaland (Norway) between 28-30 March 2006, and the sixth and final meeting in Slovenia 27-29 September 2006. Component 1 activities so far have included a throughout update of the application and the promises made there. Component 2 has included seminars on the theme of 'Defining Destinations', on systems and methods for providing improved access for users (tourists etc.) to relevant information through internet or mobile phones, on ‘mental landscapes’ or ‘landscapes of mind’, on destination development and on cultural landscape management. The final seminar in CP2 focused on heritage and living history. For Component 3, Information Sharing, Ivar Petter Grøtte and Stein Runar Bergheim, representing the West of Norway Research Institute, have led three whole-day seminars/sessions on GeoShare and other ways of sharing web-based information through meta-data systems.There have also been workshop sessions where partners have discussed both the organising of data and the technical solutions to be adapted. A pilot version of the system is operative.Finally, Component 4, the use of mobile phone systems for providing tourism information on site has been concluded. The first study tour focused on the presentation of the industrial heritage of Southwest-Scania, the second on how the Norwegian fjords were ‘discovered’ by tourists and subsequently were developed into Norway’s main tourist attraction, the third on the mental dimensions of the Irish landscape, and the fourth on destination development in rural Iceland. The fifth study tour looked at practical solutions of cultural landscape management. The final study tour looked at how cultural heritage sites could provide more living presentations of their history.
