Using RS and GIS for risk management of natural disasters consequences: The case of cultural heritage in Jinan city, China.

The preservation of cultural heritage is confronted with significant challenges due to its extensive history and the increasing impact of climate change, particularly natural disasters. Instead of solely investing resources in post-disaster restoration efforts, implementing a proactive risk-management strategy for natural disasters is a more effective approach. This study introduces an analytical and evaluative methodology grounded in remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) to bridge the existing gap in understanding natural disaster risks to cultural heritage sites in Jinan, China.
