Abstract

Risk management has been an important trend for the conservation of cultural properties (CH) in recent years. However, the disaster prevention framework or tools researched by experts are somewhat difficult for the general public to understand. As a result, it causes problems in implementation. The establishment of an effective communication platform is a solution to this problem.

This research takes the 1000-year-old Quing-Lin settlement in Kinmen Island as an example using GIS as a platform for the communication of risk management. Firstly, we surveyed the value (tangible, intangible) and risk indicators of the village. After all results were put in the GIS system, we communicated with the stakeholders to obtain a preliminary agreement. Secondly, based on the self-rescue concept, a proposed risk management plan was conferred and adjusted after discussion with the community.

The public will understand the basic principles more by advertising the concept. GIS platform is able to deliver messages more accurately so that effective interaction can be achieved.
