Abstract
Disaster-risk management has become an important issue in the conservation of cultural heritage since the beginning of 21st century. However the implementation procedure of the disaster-risk management was mainly focused on single monument and short of the research for the settlements which is still a big challenge for us. In 2005, to comply with the international trend, Taiwan amended the Cultural Heritage Conservation Act, in which settlements as a new category of monuments were declared – “Settlement: a group of building s, street houses, settlements which have architectural style, landscape, historical, artistic or scientific value.” This research develops disaster-risk indicators for the traditional settlement and takes Quion-lin settlement, a World Heritage potential site as an example, analyzing the procedure to set up a network of conservation value and the disaster-risk indicators for traditional settlement. GIS will play as an important tool for the integration and communication within the stakeholders.
