Hirigune historikoen babesa klima-aldaketaren aurrean: arriskua neurtzeko metodologiak

Abstract

This article presents a systematic and critical review of the existing literature on climate-change risk assessment methodologies for historic urban areas. For this, a systematic search of the existing literature on Web of Science and Scopus was carried out, with the aim of identifying and characterizing the existing methodologies on vulnerability and risk assessment for cultural heritage exposed to the effects of climate change and the resulting extreme events. The main characteristics of the methodologies that need to be addressed in the near future and the key knowledge gaps were identified, including the lack of holistic heat wave risk assessment methodologies for historic urban areas. The results of the review are analyzed to identify and develop key performance indicators for use in future risk assessment methodologies that address both the elements of historic urban areas as a system and the potential impact of prolonged heat waves in light of increasing probability of this extreme weather events.
