A Cultural Heritage and Points of Interest Multi-Criteria Router Supported on Visitors Preferences

Cultural heritage is experienced differently by different visitors. The more erudite know beforehand what they intend to explore when visiting a monument, a museum or a city. On the other side, least erudite visitors usually know and are capable of expressing some of their preferences but do not realize exactly what to see and explore. Physical and psychological limitations also make cultural products not interesting or suitable for all people. In this sense, this work proposes a set of methods which take into account the network of the local to be explored (e.g., museum or a city) and the classification of the Points of Interest (POIs) to build a set of optimal walks translating the users 'preferences and limitations. The problem is formulated as a multi-criteria optimization problem and a set of results shows, for a museum and an urban space, the validity of the proposed methods.
