HOW TO CARRY CULTURAL HERITAGE INTO THE FUTURE? A REVIEW OF RESILIENT HISTORICAL BUILDINGS

Climate change causes significant threats to historical buildings by altering the pattern of climate parameters such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity. In this study, a four-stage systematic bibliometric analysis was conducted in the Web of Science database to map and evaluate the primary literature, identify research gaps, and build a knowledge base on the impact and resilience of climate change on cultural heritage. According to the study's findings, the number of publications on the adaptation and resilience of cultural heritage buildings, which we are responsible for protecting against climate change, is relatively low and regional in scope. Analysing the energy resilience of historical buildings with respect to climate change is a significant gap that is not adequately addressed in the literature. In addition, studies focusing on resilience to climate change have been found to lack multidimensional analyses of resilience (energy, climate, social, and economic). As a result, the need for greater interdisciplinary collaboration and public participation in climate change research emerges. In this regard, studies on adaptation, resilience, and risk assessment of historical buildings to changing climatic conditions should be increased and supported by innovative technologies.
