text: This systematic literature review critically examines the application of digital
technologies in architectural heritage risk management from 2014 to 2024, focusing
exclusively on English-language publications. As the significance of architectural
heritage continues to be recognized globally, there is an increasing shift towards
integrating digital solutions to ensure its preservation and management. This
paper explores the evolution and application of digital technologies such as Building
Information Modeling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and advanced
imaging techniques within the field. It highlights how these technologies have
facilitated the non-destructive evaluation of heritage sites and enhanced accessibility
and interaction through virtual and augmented reality applications. By synthesizing
data from various case studies and scholarly articles, the review identifies current
trends and the expanding scope of digital interventions in heritage conservation.
It discusses the interplay between traditional conservation approaches and modern
technological solutions, providing insights into their complementary roles. The
analysis also addresses the challenges and limitations encountered in the digital
preservation of architectural heritage, such as data integration, the compatibility
of different technologies, and the need for more comprehensive frameworks to guide
the implementation of digital tools in heritage conservation practices. Ultimately,
this review underscores the transformative impact of digital technology in managing
architectural heritage risks, suggesting directions for future research and the
potential for innovative applications in the field.
