ABSTRACT

The multidimensional problems that archaeological sites and cultural heritage assets face demand effective multiple criteria decision-making, regarding risk impact identification and evaluation. There is a great array of risks affecting cultural heritage sites and assets nowadays, including environmental and manmade factors. Risk assessment towards decision-making always considers cultural sites’ and asset’s intrinsic values that determine their cultural significance and thus contribute to conservation planning and management through prioritization of the needs and allocation of the available budget accordingly. Therefore, the aim of this study is to support decision-making for maintenance and conservation interventions in archaeological sites and cultural heritage assets. The paper proposes a risk-based approach utilising the Analytic Network Process (ANP), a multi-criteria decision-making method incorporating both qualitative and quantitative criteria with interdependences and feedback. The proposed approach is tested and validated through an illustrative application regarding a classical monument of an archaeological site of Athens subjected to the conditions of a typical urban environment. The application of this method allows for interdisciplinary, multi-criteria analysis of risk towards interventions decision-making against complex and demanding conservation cases.

摘要

考古遗址和文化遗产资产面临的多维问题需要在风险影响识别和评估方面进行有效的多标准决策。如今，影响文化遗产地点和资产的风险有很多，包括环境和人为因素。决策的风险评估总是考虑文化遗址和资产的内在价值，这些价值决定了它们的文化意义，从而通过相应地确定需求的优先级和分配可用预算来促进保护规划和管理。因此，本研究的目的是支持对考古遗址和文化遗产资产进行维护和保护干预的决策。本文提出了一种利用分析网络过程 (ANP) 的基于风险的方法，这是一种多标准决策方法，结合了定性和定量标准以及相互依赖和反馈。所提出的方法通过一个关于雅典考古遗址经典纪念碑的说明性应用程序进行了测试和验证，该纪念碑处于典型的城市环境条件下。这种方法的应用允许针对复杂和苛刻的保护案例对干预决策的风险进行跨学科、多标准分析。所提出的方法通过一个关于雅典考古遗址经典纪念碑的说明性应用程序进行了测试和验证，该纪念碑处于典型的城市环境条件下。这种方法的应用允许对复杂和苛刻的保护案例进行干预决策的风险进行跨学科、多标准分析。所提出的方法通过一个关于雅典考古遗址经典纪念碑的说明性应用程序进行测试和验证，该应用程序处于典型的城市环境条件下。这种方法的应用允许针对复杂和苛刻的保护案例对干预决策的风险进行跨学科、多标准分析。
