Résumé en anglais

The City of Dubrovnik is the first city in Croatia to prepare a UNESCO World Heritage Management Plan aimed at its protected historic city core, i.e., the Old City of Dubrovnik. Besides being a World Heritage Property (WHP), Dubrovnik’s historic core is also home to more than 1500 residents, making it a ‘living city’. One of the important issues emphasised by the Management Plan are natural and anthropogenic risks for both cultural heritage and ‘living city’. This work aims to present a means of developing a methodology and various aspects to be considered in elaborating the preparedness and risk management for the UNESCO WHP in Dubrovnik as a necessary part of implementing the Management Plan for UNESCO WHP ‘Old City of Dubrovnik’. In the development process, a participatory approach is highlighted as an essential methodological tool for involving local communities in co-creating content and raising awareness of the importance of living heritage and the anthropogenic impacts on climate change.
