Integrating disaster risk reduction into cultural heritage management: case studies from the Islamic world

A comparative analysis of disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies reveals significant gaps between global frameworks and local implementation, particularly in conflict-affected or resource-limited Islamic heritage sites. While international efforts are critical for post-crisis recovery, long-term resilience hinges on local capacities, traditional knowledge, and community-based preventive measures. The study highlights successful cases where integrated planning and engagement with local communities have enhanced heritage protection, offering practical insights for policymakers, heritage professionals, and DRR planners.
