This document summarizes the mapping of the Palestinian village of Battir over several years. It began with an initial cartography from 2007-2011 to create a landscape conservation plan with Unesco. From 2012-2015, the mapping involved collaborative and participatory methods, transitioning to OpenStreetMap. This included field surveys, 3D modeling, updating a geodatabase in Illustrator, and producing orienteering maps to educate about Battir's cultural landscapes. The mapping aims to preserve Battir's terraces and ancient irrigation systems threatened by the separation wall, and pass this cultural heritage to future generations.

« BATTIR is a Palestinian village situated on the line that,
from 1948 on, divides the West Bank from Israel.
The integrity of its historical and archaeological landscape
characterized by cultivated terraces and ancient irrigation
systems, still in use, is being threatened.
« A Landscape Plan became the stDategic tool
to preserOe both the places and the human rights »

20. « The Ba4ir Landscape Plan
Is the firCs-‐of-‐this-‐kind in the Middle East,
arises precisely from the necessity of protecting this precious asset,
masterpiece of building techniques and hydraulic engineering,
passing it on to future generations in a Mediterranean region,
where the violence of conflicts and the perverted logics deriving from
it prevail over the existence of the Inhabitants »
