RIYADH: The Saudi Heritage Commission has installed 41 coding panels at urban heritage buildings throughout the Northern Borders Region.
The work is part of an ongoing project covering similar historic sites around the Kingdom.
Under the National Digital Heritage Register for Urban Heritage in the country, the commission has introduced the coding panels to enhance the visitor experience and provide information, while also operating systems to help protect, monitor, manage, and plan sites.
In addition, the initiative involves unifying databases, processing and storing information, enabling browsing and quick inquiries, generating reports, and printing them on maps.
The high-quality panels include a registration and classification certificate, and a QR (quick response) code is added below each one linking it to the national register.
Sites are classified to international standards based on their national, urban, and historical significance, forming part of a comprehensive national heritage archive.
