Digital Governance of Heritage: Towards a Modern Model for Managing Archaeological Sites

Abstract

The management of archaeological sites has evolved significantly in the digital era, where traditional governance approaches are increasingly complemented by information technologies. This paper examines the concept of digital governance for heritage sites, highlighting how modern tools such as digital mapping, virtual tours, and database management systems enhance the preservation, accessibility, and administration of cultural heritage. It proposes a modern model for managing archaeological sites that integrates technology with institutional governance frameworks, ensuring sustainability, transparency, and community engagement. The study emphasizes the interplay between digital tools, policy implementation, and stakeholder participation to achieve efficient and ethical heritage management.
