Disaster Risk Management of Cultural Heritage in Urban Areas
A Training Guide
The section aims to introduce the participants to analyse the complexity of a disaster situation in terms of multiple cause-effect relationships. It also seeks to introduce the key terminology, namely:
Other key concepts to be introduced Climate change, mitigation, prevention, recovery, response
The instructor can illustrate various terms and their interrelationships through secondary examples and explanatory diagrams and matrices. At this stage a detailed series of lists of hazards and related vulnerabilities should be given to participants as resource material as well.
A workshop should be designed to highlight relationships between hazards, vulnerabilities and disaster risks. Ideally it should be based on an actual site/ case study to ensure that participants are able to apply their theoretical understanding in a logical manner based on actual site observations. In the International Training Course format, the primary case study format has been followed several times, combining this section with the next module (Module 2: Risk Analysis). The site of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, located in the Sanneizaka District of Kyoto has been used as the site for various workshops. This workshop also introduces participants to risk identification and preliminary analysis which is the first stage in the risk assessment process described in the second module.
