Cultural heritage shapes our identity, delivers capacities, and exposes vulnerabilities, yet cultural heritage value and vulnerability are largely missing from conventional risk assessments. Risk assessments are a fundamental first step in identifying effective mechanisms for Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and disaster management. However, by ignoring the influence of heritage, decision makers are limiting their understanding of risk and therefore opportunities vital for building and maintaining local resilience. We present findings from a synthesis of peer‐reviewed literature from the last 15 years on cultural heritage risk assessment for primarily CCA but with wider implications for disaster management. We identify a significant lack of research examining intangible aspects of heritage and their influence on risk and resilience. Across the literature, risk assessments focus largely on exposure in isolation from vulnerability or adaptive capacity and where vulnerability is included there is no consistent definition or criterion. We highlight that the most frequently used methods have minimal engagement with local community values, experience, and knowledge relating to heritage practice and customs. Community engagement is most often associated with ‘professional experts’ rather than members of a local community. Furthermore, the Global South is severely under‐represented with a research bias towards Europe and North America. We recommend an agile approach to future assessments with the adjustment of risk tool research and development to include participatory approaches. Future climate risk frameworks must incorporate community‐scale values to understand the role of cultural heritage in relation to adaptive capacity, vulnerability, and resilience.

Efforts to reduce disaster risks should be a main endeavour in every development, including in tourism sector. In many places, the tourism industry is vulnerable to disasters, either directly or indirectly. Either the tourism sector triggers disasters, or it can be affected by disasters. The Dieng Plateau area is one of the leading tourism destinations in Central Java which has potentials to attract tourists. But behind its beautiful charm, this destination holds a threat. The people of Dieng Kulon, Batur District, Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java live in a disaster-prone area. They do not forget the series of disasters had occured around them. On the other hand, the surrounding nature in the village provides economic benefits, one of them comes from the tourism sector. The disaster risk reduction (DRR) approach is strategic to be applied in this village. Through the Education for Sustainability Development (ESD) program, the Dieng Pandawa Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) has to be strengthened its role so that the Pokdarwis is able to become one of the elements in DRR, especially the ability related to the process of rescueing tourists. Disaster threats on a tourism location makes the tourism industry very vulnerable, but it should be attempted that this destination or industry will become resilient at the same time. Disaster risk reduction programs and capacity building for Pokdarwis are strategic to be implemented and directed in building disaster mitigation plans.====Upaya mengurangi resiko bencana perlu menjadi arus utama dalam setiap pembangunan, termasuk di sektor kepariwisataan. Di banyak tempat, industri pariwisata rentan dengan bencana, baik secara langsung ataupun tidak langsung. Di satu pihak sektor pariwisata memicu terjadinya bencana, tetapi  di pihak lain dapat menjadi yang terdampak. Kawasan Dieng Plateau salah satu destinasi pariwisata unggulan Jawa Tengah yang potensial mendatangkan wisatawan. Namun di balik pesonanya yang indah, destinasi ini menyimpan ancaman. Masyarakat Dieng Kulon, Kecamatan Batur, Kabupaten Banjarnegara Jawa Tengah tinggal di kawasan rentan bencana. Mereka tidak lupa terhadap rentetan kejadian bencana di sekitar mereka tinggal. Di sisi lain, alam sekitar di desa memberikan manfaat ekonomi, salah satunya dari sektor pariwisata. Pendekatan pengurangan resiko bencana (PRB) menjadi strategis untuk diterapkan di desa tersebut. Melalui program Education for Sustainabe Deveopment (ESD), Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) Dieng Pandawa diperkuat perannya supaya mampu menjadi salah satu unsur dalam PRB, khususnya kemampuan terkait proses penyelamatan wisatawan. Adanya ancaman bencana terhadap lokasi pariwisata menjadikan industri pariwisata sangat rapuh (vulnerable), tetapi di pihak lain diharapkan secara bersamaan destinasi atau industri ini menjadi tangguh (resilient). Program pengurangan resiko bencana dan penguatan kapasitas Pokdarwis menjadi strategis untuk dijalankan dan diarahkan untuk menyusun perencanaan mitigasi bencana.

Rapid urbanization and growth in the Kalurahan Wonokromo, situated in the peri-urban area of Yogyakarta City causes the loss of children's playgrounds while the number of children is increasing. Preserving the remaining space for Green Open Space (GOS) is crucial. Amid the space limit, choosing the right location is one of the keys to ensuring the space functions optimally. We employ the Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (SMCA) in selecting several location candidates for the development of GOS using 9 criteria of tree cover, existing open green space, ricefield, social facilities, accessibility, distance to school, presence of small shop, children density, and the riverbank. The SMCA analysis is powered by Analytical Hierarchical Process using expert judgment combined with GIS analysis to yield the weight priority and score for each criterion. As the result, the score for each criterion is 0.3218 for existing open green space, 0.1616 for social facilities 0.1446 for small shops, 0.1265 for roads or accessibility, 0.085 for vegetation, 0.0504 for distance to school, 0.0499 for the riverbank, 0.0367 for the children density, 0.0234 for the ricefield. We obtain 9 candidates for the GOS. The Kalurahan Wonokromo has also planned to build and rehabilitate the open space but needs to acknowledge the needs for GOS from gated communities and pesantren communities as the different types of communities with a different kind of GOS.
