Nida NAYCI ▪ University ▪ Mersin- # Impact assessment: consequences of phenomena, events or decisions. Consequences may be either ‘positive’ or ‘negative’. Negative consequences are identified as hazards or threats.

# Condition assessment: to understand the physical situation of a site/structure generally to identify the structural safety

# Risk Assessment: to identify the probability of a problem or an event that causes negative impacts by estimating its probable consequences.

Nida NAYCI ▪ ▪ Mersin- TURKEY % Risk Analysis in Archaeological Sites

Sustainable management of archaeological sites necessiates estimating risk factors and to mitigate the expected threats and achieve management strategies accordingly.

# National level: identify policies and strategies # Regional level: define priority areas in conservation strategies and design financial budgeting # Site Level : achieve its safety and conservation while making it approachable for visitors through site management plans

Nida NAYCI ▪ Mersin University ▪ Mersin- TURKEY # IDENTIFICATION OF RISK FACTORS

Impact factor; is the rate of the consequences of the expected threats

Physical Condition; state of conservation, damage level and structural safety of a structure

Vulnerability; is the susceptibility of a resource against expected hazard or potential impact

Risk= f (Impact x Condition x Vulnerability)

Nida NAYCI ▪ Mersin University ▪ Mersin- TURKEY %Impact factors consequences of the expected threats on archaeological or natural assets: - High Impact (3); total destruction or severe damage of the asset, - Medium Impact (2); structural decay and failures, -Low Impact (1); material deterioration and degradation.

% Vulnerability factor exposure of structure or zone section against the threats according to their location or approach condition by the visitors. - High (3); the assets which are exposed to direct impacts of the threats. - Medium (2); the resources which aren’t in direct contact with the source of threat as - Low (1); naturally protected against the sources of the threats

Nida NAYCI ▪ Mersin University ▪ Mersin- TURKEY Risk Assessment Process continuous process to be evaluated during risk preparedness and disaster management

Condition Impact Level Assessment damage potential safety evaluation

VULNERABILITY Probability/exposure to expected impact

Nida NAYCI ▪ Mersin University ▪ Mersin- TURKEY % Physical Condition: factor to define priority areas or monuments in risk estimation according to the monumentality of the archaeological assets or rarity of natural assets so that they can be conserved in-situ before they are degraded more or totally destructed.

-High Risk (3), Severe damage: destructions and structural cracks -Moderate(2), Moderate damages: partial mdemolishments, material loss - Good (1), Slight damage: Partial material loss, scaling and deterioations

Safety Evaluation:
