Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024Risk management for cultural heritage is a significant issue in conservation and management studies. The Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage states that ensuring a good state of conservation of the property is a requirement for inscription on the World Heritage List. This paper aims to develop a preliminary site-specific methodology for the urban heritage, the case of historic centre of Izmir, which is the management site of the Historical Port City of Izmir in the Tentative List from 2020. Although risks are diversified, the scope of this paper is limited to physical risks affecting the spatial environment. The site-specific methodological approach is constituted based on key sources of ICCROM and UNESCO and adopted for the urban heritage of Izmir.
