Outline of Final Research Achievements

Knowing the processes of degradation of cultural properties in short-term and long-term are important to understand the conservation condition of them. The purpose of this study is to develop a real-time monitoring system to evaluate the behaviors of temperature and relative humidity during a public exhibition and to estimate the factors of some degradation without the special knowledge of conservation science. As the results, it was suggested that the environmental monitoring system operated by curators in a museum provides useful information for themselves to manage environmental state in an indoor public exhibition. An outdoor environmental monitoring system which can monitor the present condition at all hours of the day and night on a web server was developed. And the system was set up in the Usuki Stone Buddha Statues to evaluate effectiveness of the protective roof and curtain for the freezing damage in winter season.
