Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the risks facing the Pamenar neighbourhood as an example of the neighbourhoods of Tehran's historical fabric. The data was obtained from geographic information system (GIS) files and a survey. Sixteen experts were also asked to provide a score to each of 29 indicators. The mean values of these scores were then used to evaluate the role of each parameter in the vulnerability of this neighbourhood. Findings show that Tehran is one of the areas with high risk of earthquake, flood, air pollution, acid rain, and land subsidence as a new risk. The annual subsidence rate is about 36 cm. Several bombings indicate high risk of terrorist attacks in the neighbourhood. Unsafe building stock has made the historical fabric vulnerable to hazards. The study area is also at high risk of unfavourable land use and socio-economic conditions including insecurity, drug abuse in public spaces, overcrowding, and daytime congestion.
期刊介绍:
The journal Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites (CMAS) has established itself as the primary reference in this field, both for active professionals and for university teachers and students. Launched in 1995, it is the only journal that covers both theoretical and practical issues in heritage site management and conservation. Peer-reviewed papers from around the world report on new thinking and best practice in site management and conservation. Topics covered include: •Cultural, social, ethical and theoretical issues in archaeological site management and conservation •Site management •Historical documentation and condition reporting •Site deterioration and environmental monitoring •Preventative conservation, including reburial and protective sheltering of sites •Building materials analysis and treatment •Restoration and reconstruction of buildings •Visitor management and sustainable tourism •Site interpretation •National and international legislation and charters
