Integrating Advanced Surveying Technologies and Indigenous Knowledge into 3D Building Information Modeling

Abstract

This paper comprehensively investigates applying High Definition Surveying (HDS) techniques and Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodologies for documenting and analyzing cultural heritage in Penglipuran village, Bali, Indonesia. Penglipuran village, renowned for its preservation of traditional Balinese culture and architecture, serves as the focal point for this study. Leveraging HDS technologies such as Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Drone-based imaging, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), accurate spatial data were collected to facilitate the creation of detailed BIM models. The methodology involved data collection using HDS techniques, followed by data processing using software like Agisoft and Cloud Compare. Subsequently, BIM models were developed using Revit software, enabling the visualization and analysis of cultural elements within the village. The study utilized open BIM environments and platforms like BIMServer and BIMVision to query and analyze cultural heritage data within the BIM models. This research integrates HDS techniques and BIM methodologies to demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches in cultural heritage management and tourism promotion. The accuracy and detail of the developed 3D models were assessed against established Level of Detail (LOD) standards to ensure their suitability for heritage conservation and visitor engagement. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for stakeholders involved in heritage preservation, urban planning, tourism management, and academia. By showcasing the potential of advanced technologies in documenting and preserving cultural heritage sites, this research contributes to the sustainable management and promotion of cultural heritage, ensuring its significance for future generations.
