ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to understand the relationship between risk and cultural heritage as a strategy to raise awareness of the vulnerabilities of populations and their cultural heritage. It focuses on the built heritage of Lisbon Downtown in its different dimensions, tangible and intangible, and argues for the concept of place identity as a way of fully understanding the cultural heritage of the city.

It also analyses how changes in the urban fabric and socio-dynamics affect the exposure of Lisbon Downtown’s cultural heritage to natural and human-induced hazards. Research methods rely on literature review, analysis of municipal data and reports, GIS risk mapping and fieldwork. The latter includes interviews with local people and tourists on risk perception. The cross-referencing of these multiple types of evidence highlights the need for deepening risk and vulnerability assessments studies to better prepare the city of Lisbon, and by analogy other cities, for the next disaster. This study suggests that identifying vulnerability drivers, such as recent building transformations and mass tourism, is critical to reducing risk and mitigating impacts on the city’s cultural heritage.

摘要

本文旨在了解风险与文化遗产之间的关系，以此作为提高人们对人口及其文化遗产脆弱性认识的一种策略。它侧重于里斯本市中心有形和无形的不同维度的建筑遗产，并主张将地方认同的概念作为充分理解城市文化遗产的一种方式。

它还分析了城市结构和社会动态的变化如何影响里斯本市中心文化遗产对自然和人为灾害的影响。研究方法依赖于文献综述、市政数据和报告分析、GIS 风险图和实地调查。后者包括对当地人和游客的风险认知访谈。这些多种类型证据的交叉引用凸显了深化风险和脆弱性评估研究的必要性，以更好地为里斯本市和其他城市做好下一次灾难的准备。这项研究表明，确定脆弱性驱动因素，例如最近的建筑改造和大众旅游，对于降低风险和减轻对城市文化遗产的影响至关重要。
