This sh ift in habits calls for an adaptation in the next years of the offerings a nd management of these areas to respond to users' expectations of positive experience opportunities in near-by locations [2]. In the context of digi tal transformation and peri-urban protected areas\, this research investig ates the contribution that open geospatial technologies can provide in the creation of new economic\, social and cultural values to propose solution s and identify gaps or open issues.\nThe adopted methodology is the “cas e study approach”\, in which real cases are used to design\, develop\, i mplement\, collect and analyse data to extrapolate information that contri butes to a deeper knowledge of the matter. This research is framed in the context of the Interreg INSUBRI.PARKS (www.insubriparksturismo.eu) and amo ng the project’s parks the selected case studies for technological testi ng are the Parco Gole della Breggia and the Collina del Penz. While being two natural protected areas closely located in the southern part of Switze rland\, in the Canton Ticino\, they greatly differ for in-place management structure\, available offers and users’ type and therefore represents d ifferent needs. From the discussion with local tourism organisations and p ark administrators we have identified three specific aspects that are of p articular concern: (a) the creation of 3D digital products\, (b) the monit oring of touristic fluxes and (c) the conduction of parks management activ ities. This work presents the intermediate results of the development and testing of different selected solutions which describes the approach\, the issues and the potential of explored solutions with respect to the open s ource software.\n\n3D digital products - In addition to a more traditional use for conservation scopes and activity planning [3]\, 3D models can be used to offer positive experiences thanks to an enhanced understanding of specific intangible aspects [4]. For example\, in the case study of the Pa rco Gole della Breggia\, it might be difficult for a tourist to fully real ise the extent of the anthropic impacts on nature. The area is geologicall y relevant for the visible calcareous formation hundreds of millions of ye ars old. From 1961 to 2003 the Breggia shores hosted a large cement plant that strongly modified the territory. Today\, only a small part of the pla nt is still in place as a testimonial of the anthropic impacts and element of industrial archeology. To support the perception of the real antropic impact we decide to implement three digital models representing the territ ory at three key epochs: before the cement plant construction\, at the max imum expansion of the plant and at the present state. The present state mo del can be created by means of laser scanning and photogrammetric surveys while the other two can be realised by digitising historical maps\, techn ical plans and historical pictures. The investigation identified a workflo w based on the evaluation of CloudCompare\, Riegl RiSCAN Pro and Cyclone 3 DR for 3D survey\, Regard 3D\; GRASS\, QGIS and ESRI ArcGIS Pro for spatia l data collection and management\; Blender\, AutoCAD 3D\, Rhinoceros and S ketchup for vector modelling of spatial elements\; Nubigon and Potree for a better graphical representation and further web dissemination of the res ults.\n\nMonitoring of tourtistic fluxes - The monitoring of touristic flu x is important for the correct management of the natural protected areas t o assure the Tourism Carrying Capacity (TCC) of trails is not exceeded\, t o assure adequate economic resources are allocated to maintain the assets\ , to understand the tourist behaviours and consequently develop strategies and plans to maximise the touristic value of the park [5]. While differen t solutions were proposed to this scope (accelerometers on iron plates and proximity radar sensors) it is important to capture specific tourist char acteristics\, like for example the presence of animals\, the direction and the use of bicycles or cars. To this aim\, Machine Learning models can he lp to automate the collection of such information by image analyses and ob ject detection [6]. The present paper presents a fully open prototype to i mplement and deploy a real-time tourist monitoring system composed of: sen sing device\, data communication\, data management and data visualisation platform. The system includes the usage of the YOLO open source solutions for image recognition\, the OGC SoS open standard and the istSOS implement ation for data management and sharing and the open source Grafana software for data visualisation and analysis. The results from the testing of the prototype in two locations for a period of 6 months is presented supplemen ted with field validation data.\n\nDigital Management of Protected areas - Protected areas are currently managed using different tools that are very often scarcely digitised. This approach does not exploit the potentiality of digitalization and does not foster the capacity to extract insights fr om data. While different open source project management software exists\, none is specifically designed to address natural area management processes . For this reason a novel application\, based on an open source platform h as been developed and implemented. The cloud solution named Park Asset Man agement (PAM) is based on the usage of PostgreSQL/PostGIS and OpenLayers i n conjunction with KeyCloak authorization platform\, the Hasura GraphQL En gine integrated in the Vue.js framework. The containerized application off ers the following features: park asset management and information sharing\ , working task management and execution\, rentals management\, notificatio n management\, offering a map interface and a more classic calendar and ta ble views. This platform enables insights extraction like maintenance cost of itineraries\, income from location rental by months and by years\, cos t and time required to replace items and the frequency of occurrence of ev ents.
