Vulnerable attributes of heritage sites are conveying irreplaceable values that make it much more complicated to identify and analyse potential disaster losses to those elements. This paper aims to develop a methodology of disaster risk assessment specified to cultural heritage sites in an interdisciplinary framework. The existing methods and approaches of risk assessment as well as relevant global practices are applied to fulfil the aim.
