| Summary: | Cultural heritage management is about striking a balance between developing the tourism industry, generate revenue while still conserving the physical integrity of sites, promoting and celebrating their educational, historic and cultural values. According to UNESCO, heritage is our legacy and cultural identity that we pass on to the next generation. Tangible features, such as monuments, groups of building, and both historic and natural sites, are considered as part of our heritage by UNESCO. Identifying and developing interdisciplinary methods that can capture the ‘invisible’ vulnerability, value, and capacity of cultural heritage is considered an urgent policy need. This need is greatest in developing countries where people often lack the resources and agency to develop or adopt frameworks for risk-informed management in which concerns the cultural patrimony. Tools and methods have been developed in order to support a risk management strategy, thus not all of them can be applied regardless of the natural context and the local social and political vulnerability. |
