THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISASTER RISKS AND MANAGEMENT PLAN IN CULTURAL HERITAGE AREAS: HISTORIC AREAS OF ISTANBUL AS AN EXAMPLE From past ages to present, the Earth accumulates elements of heritage that constitute the collective memory of humanity, while at the same time it is the scene of different types of disasters with different severities and frequencies. Since the formation of the Earth, disasters are one of the most influential factors in the continuity of cultural properties as an important element of cultural heritage. The cumulative effects of the experiences gained in such disasters are reflected in the works planned for pre-disaster, during and post-disaster events. Models concentrate on risk-based projections and research, risk plans associated with disasters are prepared, and these plans are evaluated holistically as part of large-scale strategic plans. This article aims to provide a general background on disaster risk management for cultural properties and to analyze risk management studies and outputs based on the Historic Areas of Istanbul Management Plan. For this purpose, the article consists of three separate sections. The first section includes the relationship of the cultural properties' value with disaster risks, identification of disaster risks for cultural properties, risk preparedness, and risk management examination. The second section is on associating risk management with site management in the Historic Areas of Istanbul Management Plan as an example at a national scale, training and awareness raising studies on the risks imposed on cultural properties, and a Summary of ‘Training and Drill on Disaster Risk Management for Cultural Properties’ (2017). The third section examines identification, planning, documentation, project design, and implementation processes of immovable cultural properties and historic surroundings areas in terms of disaster management within the framework of conservation legislation. The last section focuses on recommendations on interagency cooperation and legislative arrangements.
