Unveiling Heritage:An Interactive Web-GIS Portal with Geo-visualization for Managing Historical Sites on Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Marg

Geographic Information System (GIS) technology integrates geographic research with information for better understanding and perception. It assists people in achieving a common objective of gaining useful insight from all kinds of data. The concept of smart mapping, also called story mapping, which enables users to get visually impressive and useful maps quickly and easily, has emerged with Web-GIS. A framework for mapping and analysis is built using GIS and is used in research and almost every industry. Among the applications are digital documentation of heritage sites, tourism promotion, and usage in archaeological surveys. The work combines GIS and Web technology to develop a portal with the purpose of preserving cultural assets and information on Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Marg. Users can have a visual tour of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Marg, which extends from Anandpur Sahib to Talwandi Sabo, and gain information about any site on the marg. In addition to the geospatial data mapping, an interactive narrative map has been developed using open-source technologies for geo-visualization. The location's historical significance is highlighted on the narrative map. The map can also be used to discover more information about it, including the nearest amenities, construction-related information, images, videos, and panoramic views. Through data-driven reporting and study, the work also gives authorities the capacity to optimize site maintenance plans.
