Dissimilarities Among the Selected Heritage
Comparative Matrix of World Heritage Sites
Welcome to Comparative Matrix of World Heritage Sites. The main purpose of this matrix is to present the similarities between various World Heritage sites from 25 different dimensions.
These dimensions include historical period, culture type, building type, building style, remain type, intangible contribution, and more. Each dimension has its fixed options, for instance, the intangible contribution dimension corresponds with options such as "Contributes to cultural identity and diversity", "Preserves cultural identity and diversity", "Enriches cultural identity and diversity", "Promotes cultural identity and diversity", and "Connection to cultural identity". If none of these options are suitable for a certain dimension, it will be hidden.
The content in each cell of the matrix is filled with the help of LLMs and is further reviewed manually for accuracy.
