The COST i2MHB (Innovation in Intelligent Management of Heritage Buildings) WG4 pilot survey research is oriented to collect opinions and perceptions of the visitors of the heritage buildings.

Please fill this questionnaire and help us to come closer to the right decisions! The collected data will be used only for the purpose of this professional and scientific research!

All respondents are treated as anonymous subjects.
