The endeavor to map a country's ancient remains and cultural heritage within the framework of systematic preservation and with an ambition to also capture the relationship between people, cultural heritage and their surrounding environment necessitates a transformative shift in perspective.
Beyond the conventional focus on inventory and documentation, this multidisciplinary approach places a paramount emphasis on the intricate interplay between human interaction and the landscape, seamlessly intertwining preservation and community engagement. The selection process for preservation evolves into a nuanced endeavor, where differing narratives and memory preservation shape the criteria.

The complexities of memory preservation must be adressed in such a process, not least the intricacies of archiving and safeguarding narratives. The studies that form the basis for this study propose an inclusive preservation strategy that not only catalogues ancient sites but also incorporates the stories embedded within them, acknowledging the diverse cultural memories associated with each locale.
Furthermore, the implementation of systematic cultural heritage protection extends beyond legal frameworks. It underscores the necessity of integrating public awareness and education initiatives, fostering a collective responsibility for preservation. Integrating GIS technology becomes a tool not just for spatial documentation but a dynamic medium for capturing the evolving relationship between people, heritage sites, and their surrounding environment. This tech-enabled approach allows for real-time monitoring of changes, identifying potential threats, and ensuring a responsive preservation strategy.
