Development of Smart Tourism Platform for Historical Architects

Abstract

With the rapid development of cities, many excellent architectural heritages are damaged in order to meet the expansion needs of the population and transportation. Thereby, how to protect these historical architects is becoming an important research topic. In the traditional protection of architectural heritage, photographs and videos and other digital forms are used to preserve and display the architectural information. In this paper, we took the architectural heritage in Wuhan city as an example and developed a smart tourism platform. There are several major functions, include the list of the architecture, map navigation, architecture profiles, video and picture display, travel reviews and so on. The smart tourism platform can not only preserve these digital architecture heritages permanent on the platform, but also enable the tourists to understand the historical, artistic value of the architect based on location-based service technology and personalized recommendation technology. It also can promote the local tourism industry by the smart platform.
