- Abstract
"Resilience" is an important concept in disaster risk reduction. In 2015, the International Expert Meeting on Cultural Heritage and Disaster Resilient Communities was held for "Cultural Heritage and Disaster Resilient Communities" at the Third United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan. In the context of the disaster risk reduction study, the authors explore the use of social spaces for community recovery in the three disaster affected World Heritage Sites: Patan in Nepal, Lijian in China, and Bergama in Turkey. The authors call such spaces "resilient spaces" and adress following questions: How we can integrate resilient spaces into disaster risk reduction plan, and how we can incorporate everyday routines into the advance disaster risk reduction plan? In doing so, we pursue the ways to regenerate post-disaster community life, as well as to sustain its World Heritage tourism.
