Abstract
Cultural heritage inheritance was a valuable asset passed down through many centuries. Nevertheless, the assets were in significant danger of suffering damage in the case of a disaster, which might have been caused by either naturally occurring or man-made risks. The fragility of the cultural heritage has not yet received sufficient protection from the massive disaster risk management that is being done all over the world, despite the frequency of natural disasters growing because of climate change. This paper aims to investigate whether or not the current methods of disaster risk reduction (DRR) are sufficient to protect cultural assets. The existing gap in the improvement of the inclusion of cultural heritage protection into the current disaster risk management was identified through a comparative study of already extant worldwide DRR frameworks. The protection of cultural assets receives less priority throughout the many components of the disaster risk management plan, according to an analysis of multiple DRR frameworks, including the most recent Sendai Framework 2015-2030.
