Abstract
This article provides an understanding of the underlying themes and patterns in the photographic images of cultural heritage sites posted on Twitter immediately after the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. An analysis of 6,529 images available in the SMERP data set was carried out to identify and understand the main themes emerging from the discussion on Twitter regarding the damages to cultural heritage sites. Fewer than 10% of the tweets with images available in the data set have cultural heritage sites as the subject. Among them, six main themes emerged from the analysis presented. The dominant theme, with 67% of the heritage images posted, involves some kind of situational awareness where Twitter users aimed to communicate the state of heritage sites after the earthquake.
