description United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) supports and monitors the conservation of heritage sites around the world. It uses the help of some tools like “World Heritage List”. UNESCO adds areas to the “World Heritage in Danger List” if it detects a threat about their conservation issues. The aim is to define major threat parameters urban heritage areas experience and categorize them starting from the major problems to the least important ones. Two cities that are still on UNESCO World Heritage in Danger List and two former cities that lost their World Heritage status were examined in the context of the study. These cases are Liverpool (Britain), Vienna (Austria), Kosovo, and Dresden (Germany). In order to define major threats, the reasons why these areas were added to Danger List were studied. The threat parameters of different researches were compared with these cases to rank leading problems heritage sites experience. Building and development issue was approved to be the most common threat in urban heritage areas.
