A 4D Decentralized Spatiotemporal Mirror World: Building a Conceptual Model of Cultural Heritage Resilience Through the Integration of Co-creation, Gamification, Tokenization, and the Metaverse

Heritage assets, such as historic buildings and archaeological sites, are prone to the cycle of changes, threatened by man-made and natural hazards.As such, resilient policies, which minimize the period of recovery/restoration, after the loss of heritage assets, are often based on the digitization of cultural goods. However, due to inadequate funding, lack of specialized personnel, and time constraints, the likelihood of such recovery measures has been limited. Supported by the case study research model, this research aims to minimize the effects of such limitations by constructing a conceptual model of a 4D decentralized spatiotemporal Mirror World. The platform allows for global collaboration in digitizing the past, present, and future of our urban environment through personally own mass media devices. By incorporating NFT-based mechanisms, such as ownership and play-to-earn, contributors will remain as the sole creator of the submitted photo/data while potentially generating forms of profit through gamified contributions.
