Summary
Climate change poses significant risks to the sustainability of cultural heritage and energy conservation in traditional settlements, particularly those listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A study analyzing sites such as Sassi di Matera (Italy), Ferrara (Italy), Siena (Italy), Safranbolu (Turkey), Cumalıkızık (Turkey), and Mardin (Turkey) found that while these areas historically excelled in energy efficiency due to their adaptive construction using local materials, they are now vulnerable to degradation. The research highlights the need for proactive conservation strategies to mitigate adverse effects and preserve their energy-saving properties. A proposed model aims to address these challenges by integrating sustainable practices with historical preservation efforts.
