WHV – Struve Geodetic Arc Struve Geodetic Arc, Russian Federation Cultural property inscribed on the 10/06/2019 – 20/06/2019 World Heritage List since 2005 The Struve Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through 10 countries and over 2,820 km. These are points of a survey, carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, which represented the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped to establish the exact size and shape of the planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. It is an extraordinary example of scientific collaboration among scientists from different countries and of collaboration between monarchs for a scientific cause. The project is held on the island of Gogland, where two component parts of the World Heritage site are located, namely, Hogland, Z and Mäkipällys. Project objectives: The project aims to contribute to the conservation of the component parts of the Struve Geodetic Arc serial transnational World Heritage property as well as to raise awareness on their World Heritage designation and promote the values of sustainable development among the youth and the local community of the island of Gogland. Project activities: The volunteers will help to install the navigation signs on the island as well as conduct maintenance works at the component parts of the World Heritage property. The volunteers will also assist the researchers in sample collecting and the local community in cleaning the island from solid waste. Partners: Goodsurfing Information Centre for Volunteering; Russian Geographical Society; Wild Camp NGO; Committee for Culture of the Leningrad Oblast.

Struve Geodetic Arc Joins World Heritage List
ARTICLE Struve Geodetic Arc Joins World Heritage List 15th July, Durban, South Africa The World Heritage Committee chaired by Themba Wakashe, South Africaâ€™s deputy director-general for Heritage and National Archives has inscribed seventeen cultural sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The nominations took place on 15th July at a meeting in Durban, South Africa. The World Heritage List now numbers 812 sites in total, including 628 cultural, 160 natural and 24 mixed sites, in 137 States. Bahrain, the Republic of Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina enter the List for the first time. The sites inscribed during the current session of the World Heritage Committee include three transboundary sites and extensions to six sites that were already on the List. The Struve Geodetic Arc is the first survey-site on the list. The countries hosting the Struve Geodetic Arc are Belarus, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, Sweden and Ukraine. The Struve Geo- detic Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through ten countries and over 2,820km. These are the points of a survey carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and represent the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped establish the exact size and shape of our planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. It is an extraordinary example of scientific collaboration among scientists from different countries, and of collaboration between monarchs, for a scientific cause.

The Struve Geodetic Arc and Its Possible Connections to the Arc of the 30Th Meridian in Africa
The Struve Geodetic Arc and Its Possible Connections to the Arc of the 30th Meridian in Africa James R SMITH, United Kingdom Keywords. Arc, Struve, 30th Arc, UNESCO SUMMARY This paper discusses the possible connections between the Struve Geodetic Arc and the Arc of the 39th Meridian in East Africa. Was the proposal by Otto Struve in 1868 carried out? If so, where are the results, if not, why not? Brief mention is made of the various later connections from the Struve Arc in Belarus to North Africa and hence a join in Egypt to the Arc of the 30th Meridian.

The Arc of the 30th Meridian from near Port Elizabeth in S Africa to near Cairo in Egypt was initiated by David Gill in South Africa in 1879 and was finally completed with the last section in the Sudan in 1954. The Struve Geodetic Arc has recently been submitted to UNESCO for possible recognition as a World Heritage Monument.

KULTURNÍ DĚDICTVÍ RUSKA a BOSNY a HERCEGOVINY 2020 BŘEZEN - ZÁŘÍ 2020 Festival 7
Uherské Hradiště, Staré Město, Velehrad, Zlín, Hodonín, Boskovice, Mikulčice, Holíč, Kopčany, ... KULTURNÍ DĚDICTVÍ RUSKA A BOSNY A HERCEGOVINY 2020 BŘEZEN - ZÁŘÍ 2020 festival 7. Dny slovanské kultury 2020 21. - 30. května 2020 www.dny-slovanske-kultury.cz 1 PODSTATA A STRATEGIE Mezinárodní festival DNY SLOVANSKÉ KULTURY vznikl v roce 2013 - v roce 1150. výročí příchodu sv. Cyrila a Metoděje na Velkou Moravu. Jeho cílem bylo postupně představit kulturní dědictví všech slovanských zemí, národů a národností. Od druhého ročníku festivalu začala tradice představit kulturní dědictví DVOU slovanských národů či národností - jedné zastupujících severní Slovany a druhou pak zastupující Slovany jižní. Od roku 2017 se festival rozdělil do dvou částí - na část festivalovou, druhá pak na část výstavní. Výstavní část nabízí dlouhodobé výstavy ve významných kulturních institucích (některé trvající až 4 měsíce), druhá část festivalová pak trvá asi týden a nabídne další aktivity - divadelní, filmové, hudební, přednáškové … Výsledky dosavadních šesti ročníků festivalu potvrdily zájem významných domácích i zahraničních institucí podpořit tento strategický cíl a vytvořit tak prostor pro prezentaci kulturního dědictví slovanských národů a národností. Festivalová část pak nabídne většinou zahájení a vernisáže dlouhodobých výstav, přednášky, ale i vystoupení hudebních skupin. Festivalový program pak doplňujeme prezentací kulturního dědictví v oblasti filmu, literatury a divadla. hlavní strategiké cíle • PREZENTACE KULTURNÍHO DĚDICTVÍ - hlavní důraz je kladen na propagaci kulturního dědictví aktuálně vybraných dvou slovanských národů či národností, především památek zapsaných na seznam UNESCO • KULTURNÍ MOST MEZI JIHEM A SEVEREM – je základem festivalové dramaturgie a konečného výběru dvou slovanských zemí - vždy jedné z oblasti Severních Slovanů a druhů z oblasti Jižních. Festival tak přirozeně vytváří “most” pro posilování další vzájemné aktivní spolupráce.

Geometry of “The Struve Arc” Compared with Up–To–Date Geodetic Data
Geometry of “The Struve Arc” Compared With Up–to–date Geodetic Data Vitali KAPTÜG, Russian Federation Key words: meridian arc, principal points, coordinates SUMMARY The paper presents main outcomes of the second comparison between up–to–date geodetic data and the final results of the measurements of the Russo–Scandinavian meridian arc of 25° 20′ carried out during 1816–1855. To make this mathematical comparison was the goal of an extensive investigation performed under the aegis of The St.Petersburg Society for Surveying & Mapping, within the frames of an action of commemoration of the 150th anniversary of publication of “Arc du Méridien de 25°20' entre le Danube et la Mer Glaciale” by F.G.W. Struve in 1857. The required input data have been submitted by member agencies of the international Coordinating Committee managing the World Heritage “The Struve Geodetic Arc”, as well as taken from many additional sources, incl. author’s previous research works. The investigation embraced items of the methodology, thorough examination of historical identity of the 13 principal meridian arc points, computations and interpretation. The main result obtained is differences in length and azimuth between eight Struve’s (of his total 12) geodesics and the adequate modern ones linking the principal arc points. These are, for the subsequent Struve Nos V (Belin – Nemesch) to XII (Stuoroivi – Fuglenaes): – 7.3 m/ + 5.5 as; – 5.7 m/ + 2.4 as; + 2.3 m/ + 1.6 as; – 1.7 m/ + 1.7 as; – 0.0 m/ + 0.1 as; – 0.4 m/ + 0.9 as; – 9.9 m/ + 8.0 as; – 11.4 m/ + 12.9 as; the values mean “1857 minus 2007”, “as” is “arcseconds”.
