TerraMine vs CuRe Utilisation & Stats
The municipality of Pilea - Hortiatis participates as a Partner in the project entitled: "Sustainable Eco-Cultural Valorization of Mines and Quarries Sites in the Cross-Border Area" - "Terra-Mine", which is financed within the European Cooperation Program INTERREG V-A "Greece - Bulgaria 2014-2020".
The corporate structure of the project is coordinated by the Municipality of Madan (Lead Beneficiary) and includes as beneficiary partners the Municipality of Pilea - Hortiatis, the Democritus University of Thrace (Department of Production and Management Engineering), the International Hellenic University (Department of Business Administration - Discipline of Tourism Management) and the University of Mining and Geology "St. Ivan Rilksi".
The overall objective of the Terra-Mine project is to preserve and exploit the old mines and quarries of the cross-border area for tourism purposes, strengthening cooperation between local actors, as well as enhancing their skills.
As part of the project, a mobile application was developed for iOS operating systems, using beacons and QR codes on a plexiglass base, which have been installed in areas near the quarry area, giving users the following possibilities to:
• digitally browse the quarry area of the Municipality of Pilea – Hortiatis,
• choose the destinations they want to visit,
• create routes to recommended tour points
• obtain information about points of interest
combining the most innovative interactive tools such as virtual reality and augmented reality.
The funding body is the INTERREG - V-A Program "GREECE - BULGARIA 2014 - 2020" which is financed by 85% from the European Regional Development Fund and by 15% from national resources.

Due to its exposed geographical position in the Mediterranean – a major island a couple of hundred kilometres offshore from European, Asiatic and African coasts – Crete always was and still is at a crossroad of cultures, religions, Christian confessions and modern ideologies. The story of the unique cultural heritage is a story of sieges, captures and conquests, but also a story of interactions between groups which first met in a frame of hostility and in the course of time found ways of peaceful coexistence. An integral part of the modern cultural evolvement on the island is tourism. Groups of people visit Crete, often for a short period of time, and face a wealth of remains, which are stimulating, but too numerous, disparate and complex as to put them into a narrative and perceive the relevant cultural messages. The project aims:
- to collect pieces of information relevant to the collective memory of mankind and to configure them into narratives
- to link these narratives to material remains, such as buildings and more generally objects of cultural heritage and places of memory, which will be recorded digitally (primarily photographs, videos, maps, graphical representations and texts)
- to combine these data -textual and visual- in a cloud-based repository
- to develop an application for mobile devices and a web portal, which creates a location-based Mixed Reality experience by fusing Augmented Reality with Virtual Reality to allow users of the application to gain instant access to information on their smartphone or tablet, relevant to the place -buildings, places, sites of memory- where they are.
