%0 Journal Article %T Planned preventive maintenance in the preservation of historic heritage sites as a first form of valorisation %A Paolo Gasparoli %J Techne : Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment %D 2012 %I Firenze University Press %X This research develops various reflections on the role and repercussions of planned preventive maintenance activities in historic heritage sites as an opportunity for their valorisation. The first step is to define the terminology, underscoring reciprocal relationships and the need to organise structured activities and applications that outline contents, procedures and processes for interventions, with innovative strategies that promote the preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage sites. In this sense, this paper proposes the experimental results of work projects conducted on significant cases. %K Maintenance %K Prevention %K Knowledge %K Preservation process %K Cultural heritage %U http://www.fupress.net/index.php/techne/article/view/10840
