Abstract

The Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East, and North Africa (EMMENA) regions are rich in Cultural Heritage (CH) sites that have been subject to various threats, including conflicts, natural disasters, and urban development. Effective risk assessment and monitoring are essential to preserve and protect these assets. Towards that direction novel technologies and their integration can be valuable for a holistic framework of managing diverse datasets and providing a robust safeguarding of CH assets. A data cube is a multidimensional representation of data that allows for efficient and flexible analysis, designed to support online analytical processing (OLAP) and data mining. Data cubes can be regarded as a three-dimensional structure, with each cell representing a unique combination of values from the different dimensions. By creating a data cube that includes several satellite and geospatial data sources, organizations can gain a more holistic understanding of the risks and opportunities associated with CH sites as well as to identify patterns and trends that might not be apparent in individual data sets. Within this context, it becomes apparent that data cubes allow for a multidimensional view of the risk landscape and can be used to create data-driven predictive models forecasting risks and opportunities for CH assets, in order for them to be preserved and protected for future generations. The risk assessment and monitoring framework used in this study can be easily transferred, in order to monitor CH sites in any sensitive region and can be adapted to include data from other sources and monitor different types of threats, including climate change related, environmental, and social risks.
