Almende participated as Technical Partner in the Ruritage project creating the Decision Support System.
“Almende” is an old Dutch word that can be translated in English as ‘commons’, which is a term used in pre-industrial times to designate those parts of the environment for which customary law exacted specific forms of community respect. People called commons that part of the environment which lay beyond their own thresholds and outside of their own possessions, to which, however, they had recognized claims of usage, not to produce commodities but to provide for the substinence of their households.
Discover the Decision Support System of RURITAGE
Almende developed the Ruritage Decision Support System (DSS), one of the tools of the Ruritage Ecosystem platform. The RURITAGE DSS is a system for supporting the discovery and composition of possible heritage-led regeneration scenarios, which considers previous initiatives and provides suggestions for combining good practices and Lessons Learnt from various Role Models, allowing the choice of comprehensive programmes to be implemented at replicating sites.
Use the DSS and join the RURITAGE Network
People can find and use the DSS through the Ruritage Ecosystem website or going directly through the following link: https://ruritage-ecosystem.eu/dss
