According to its mission, The Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums in Syria embarked on documenting conflicted archaeological sites and monuments all over the country and published The Interactive Map of Conflicted Archaeological Sites on its site (www.dgam.gov.sy). Many organizations from all over the world are providing support for Syrian heritage in danger. Current situation: a) all levels of implementation, from local to national, b) national information infrastructure under current development, c) GIS applications publicly available, d) main fields of application: heritage management, archaeology, cultural heritage inventory, armed conflict areas
