Knowledge management and dissemination

This chapter aims to investigate the more successful strategies to safeguard and transmit vernacular knowledge supporting sustainable development. The knowledge that we discuss concerns both tangible aspects (buildings, settlements, construction techniques) and intangible aspects, in other words the complex system of know-how that has shaped the tangible heritage and enabled its preservation over time. The chapter investigates strategies and tools for the documentation, transmission and management of traditional knowledge aimed at technicians and stakeholders, as well as strategies for its dissemination to the general public.Throughout the chapter we highlight how the digital transition has led to innovation in knowledge management methods and processes that are increasingly efficient, encouraging preservation and enhancement and enabling new markets and audiences to be reached
