The publication language of the journal: English
Cultural Heritage and Science (CUHES) is an interdisciplinary academic, international journal for scholars and practitioners with a common interest in heritage.
Cultural Heritage and Science (CUHES) provide a multidisciplinary scientific overview of existing resources and modern technologies useful for the study and repair of cultural heritage and other structures. The journal will include information on history, methodology, materials, survey, inspection, non-destructive testing, analysis, diagnosis, remedial measures, and strengthening techniques.
Preservation of the architectural heritage is considered a fundamental issue in the life of modern societies. In addition to their historical interest, cultural heritage buildings are valuable because they contribute significantly to the economy by providing key attractions in a context where tourism and leisure are major industries in the 3rd millennium. The need for preserving historical constructions is thus not only a cultural requirement, but also an economic and developmental demand.
