The preservation of cultural heritage from emergency planning through to heritage recovery processes
This study deals with the protection, disaster response, and heritage recovery of
immovable and movable cultural heritage in accident and disaster situations. The
study examines 19 incidents that required the protection, rescue, and aftercare of
cultural heritage. The research provides basic information on how and with what
type of mechanisms cultural heritage deteriorates in disaster and post-disaster
situations. The methods chosen in the disaster response and heritage recovery
work can either prevent or increase heritage damage. Existing operational
models and available material and personnel resources enable the carrying out
of successful heritage recovery work that minimizes the damage to cultural
heritage.
The researched incidents occurred in Finland between 1990 and 2010. The
research data consists of four independent information sources: 1) themed
interviews with the disaster sites’ owners (18 interviews, 19 cases), 2) themed
interviews with subject matter specialists (nine interviews), 3) Finnish crime
statistics between 1990 and 2010, and 4) six disaster case trial conviction
documents. Qualitative content analysis was used with the help of Atlas.ti 6.1
software to analyze the research data.
The study shows that cultural values as a background factor had an impact
on the funding of heritage recovery. This influenced the success rate of disaster
response and heritage recovery processes. A lack of emergency planning and
economic resources caused ineffectiveness in both disaster response and heritage
recovery work. This sometimes leads to significant secondary heritage damage,
especially in the case of water damage. Based on the research data, the deliberate
destruction of heritage through vandalism or arson poses a significant threat to
Finnish cultural heritage. This should be considered in cultural heritage site
emergency planning.
