“…Other approaches, for example, Lagomarsino (2006) and Podestà and Romano (2014), proposed vulnerability curves for frequently found heritage typologies (church, monastery/convent, mosque, tower, and so on). A large number of studies have been also dedicated to the vulnerability analysis and modeling of cultural heritage to other types of hazards such as flooding (Garrote et al 2020;Figueiredo et al 2021) and fires (Salazar et al 2021).…”

This article contributes to developing an indicator-based vulnerability assessment framework for cultural heritage sites. It provides a vulnerability index for heritage sites potentially exposed to multiple hazards, including sudden-onset and slow-onset hazards, while considering climate change influences. Through determining particular criteria and indicators, the Cultural Heritage Vulnerability Index incorporates structural and non-structural factors of the heritage site and its local and national settings. The assessment procedure was applied to the case of the Roman Ruins of Tróia in Portugal. The findings highlight those areas of sensitivity (e.g., the existing deterioration patterns and types of foundation) and coping and adaptive capacities (e.g., institutional setting and response plan) that significantly contribute to the level of vulnerability and risk. The results of vulnerability assessment will further enable determining priorities and developing risk mitigation and preparedness measures, in particular reducing structural sensitivity and promoting coping capacities.

“…The present study assesses the vulnerability of the selected heritage sites in Srinagar as they are prone to multiple hazards. Vulnerability evaluation of the sites was carried out by incorporating spatial and structural indicators, namely drainage, road networks, slope, nearness to fire station, distance from urban settlements, age and construction material of the structure (Bukhari et al, 2016; Cochrane & Schaad, 1992; Salazar et al, 2021). The data for the generation of the vulnerability matrix was obtained from primary and secondary sources.…”

Srinagar, an ancient city, is well known for its heritage wealth with more than 1,200 years of urban history established in the region by passing through the greatest kingdoms in the past. Globally, due to many challenges, such as extreme urbanization, rapid population growth and climate change crisis, the urban heritage buildings, monuments and sites are subject to degradation and extinction over time. The present study intends to identify and evaluate the heritage sites located in the Srinagar city and assess their spatial and structural vulnerabilities. An extensive field survey was conducted by which 20 structural heritage sites dating back to the 1800s and before has been identified for evaluation. Vulnerability analysis of sites was done based on seven selected parameters fabricated within the 300-metre buffer zones in the geographic information system (GIS) environment. An insight into conservation strategies and planning measures and challenges in the disaster risk reduction of heritage resources have been portrayed in the study. The results show that the Srinagar city has significant heritage structures with beautiful architecture that is now in a dilapidated and deserted condition with limited implication of the conservation strategies and less involvement of the stakeholders. The results indicate a dire need for sustainable conservation measures incorporated for disaster risk reduction of the urban heritage. The study holds great significance for the decision-makers in policy development and planning, especially for the management of the sites.

“…Various studies examined the conservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage of nations and peoples. These include solutions for the conservation of cultural heritage [4], digital management methods [5,6], the need for funding heritage projects [7], indicators of vulnerability and risk [8], as well as multi-threat studies of cultural heritage [9][10][11]. For the present work, progress is also being made in creating theoretical frameworks for conserving vernacular houses based on values [12,13].…”

A Sustainable Proposal for a Cultural Heritage Declaration in Ecuador: Vernacular Housing of Portoviejo

et al. 2023

Vernacular houses treasure the knowledge and traditions of nations. They express the cultural heritage of different generations, including local materials and non-professional designs evolved by resident communities. In South America, vernacular houses often are designed in rural areas. These are influenced by the customs of the indigenous people who inhabited this region for centuries before colonization. In the coastal area of Ecuador, particularly in the canton of Portoviejo, belonging to the province of Manabí, there is an architectural typology called “housing of the three spaces”, which has not been valued as cultural heritage. This article responds to the research question of how to structure a sustainable architectural solution, which observes the patrimonial values of the housing of the three Manabí spaces, and which contributes to the resolution of the housing problem in rural Ecuadorian areas. The research was descriptive. The questionary technique was used to characterize these housings and analyze their sustainability criteria and historic heritage values. The results contribute relevant information for the consideration of the housing of the three spaces as cultural heritage. Furthermore, we explored a conceptual and analytical transition of the modern housing named Biosuvernacular (bio meaning life, su for sustainability and vernacular for traditional design) with reasonable economical solutions for resolving the housing problem in the study area.
