Abstract

ALForLab’ is a project co-funded by the National Operational Programme for Research and Competitiveness (2007–2013) that aims to the development and the integration of innovative technologies, improving the mobilization and utilization of forest resources, ecosystem services and the wood material of Calabria region, in Southern Italy. In this paper, we present the strategy applied to develop the ALforLab Geographical Information System Platform to exploit cultural and natural heritage from a touristic perspective, the methodology adopted to identify identity and perceptive paths of Calabria and the technological system and the devices settled along the touristic itinerary. In this case, exploiting technological devices, cultural and natural heritage sites can really innovate their communication methods and better enhance their fruition from a tourist perspective.
