Iran has officially launched a nationwide initiative to monitor land subsidence in areas surrounding its historic and cultural heritage sites. This is reported by Tehran Times, a partner of TV BRICS.

The plan aims to establish a continuous, scientific system for tracking ground subsidence in heritage zones across the country. Government institutions fully support practical, transparent projects focused on protecting Iran’s cultural assets.

Experts stressed the importance of integrating modern technology into heritage management, recommending the deployment of smart monitoring networks, real-time surveillance systems, and permanent scientific observation points at vulnerable sites.

The new monitoring initiative is expected to improve Iran’s capacity to safeguard its cultural heritage by providing data-driven early warnings and informing future environmental and urban planning policies, the source claims.
