Abstract

This article delves into the multifaceted effects of Metaverse technology on the conservation and repurposing of heritage sites. It seeks to answer pivotal questions: Can the creation of heritage zones in the Metaverse enhance or impede the sustainability of conservation efforts? Does Metaverse offer a conducive platform for documentation and experimentation, preserving the integrity of real-world sites? Through a meticulously crafted three-step methodology, the study explores the theoretical implications of Metaverse technology on heritage conservation, conducts a rigorous analytical assessment of its impact, and validates its findings via stakeholder surveys. By uncovering both positive and negative ramifications, the research not only illuminates the complexities but also proposes actionable guidelines for optimizing the integration of historical sites into virtual realms. This serves as an invaluable resource for stakeholders navigating the intricate intersection of cutting-edge technology and the preservation of cultural heritage, ensuring informed decision-making and sustainable conservation practices.
