Value priority concept on digital technology for disaster prevention and management of cultural properties: A case study of Dihua Street in Taiwan

Growth of globalization and development of new techniques have led conservation to a wider research field in the 21st century. From the perspective of value priority, digital techniques and disaster prevention are main issues in conservation. On the other hand, management in different fields is another important concept. How to integrate value priority and disaster prevention into digital techniques has become an important issue in the field of conservation. The research develops a standard operation procedure of disaster prevention and rescue for historic buildings and monuments from a value priority point of view. The case of Dihua Street is used for organization and training. Besides assessing significant movable and immovable cultural relics and buildings, the research marks their locations, routes and procedures of rescue, it also proposes a disaster factor analysis. According to this trend, this research provides an integrative working frame on digitization of management and disaster prevention for the monuments. The management indicators, metadata and the presentation with GIS are the key issues of this frame.
