This book presents the preservation principles and the current
environmental challenges relating to monitoring heritage sites and
buildings under the effects of climate change. It provides a clear
overview of conservation action levels and the importance of
participation and cooperation between them, and discusses evaluation and
management methods, thermal comfort for the common usages, and
conceptual methods for enhancing the built heritage. The research
presented employed the "Zoom In, Zoom Out" approach for monitoring the
Syrian coastal heritage sites threatened by the direct and indirect
effects of climate change. Lastly, the book establishes the basic
principles and conservation strategies for preserving the coastal
heritage sites and buildings. As such, it is a valuable reference
resource for researchers, developers, architects, and conservators
involved in protecting the architectural heritage in coastal areas. It
can also be used as a guidebook on preserving and monitoring built
heritage sites at both macro and micro levels.
