Risk management for cultural heritage is a significant issue in conservation and
management studies. The Convention Concerning the Protection of the World
Cultural and Natural Heritage states that ensuring a good state of conservation of the
property is a requirement for inscription on the World Heritage List. This paper aims
to develop a preliminary site-specific methodology for the urban heritage, the case of
historic centre of Izmir, which is the management site of the Historical Port City of
Izmir in the Tentative List from 2020. Although risks are diversified, the scope of this
paper is limited to physical risks affecting the spatial environment. The site-specific
methodological approach is constituted based on key sources of ICCROM and
UNESCO and adopted for the urban heritage of Izmir.
