The conservation of cultural heritage before, during, and after a possible deliberate destruction is not well defined in the Turkish legal system. This thesis aims to present a deliberate destruction risk management plan (DRMP) for historic urban sites considering all phases of deliberate destruction risk with an emphasis on before destruction phase. Suggesting the content of the future work for during and after destruction phases and simulating the proposed before destruction measures for the historic urban sites around Uzun Çarşı Street and Habib-i Neccar Mosque in Antakya are among the objectives. DRMP was proposed for historic urban sites by defining the techniques of risk management: assessment, reduction, mapping, and implementation. Risk factors for traditional streets and heritage buildings in historic urban sites were determined with reference to numerical and categorical data of physical properties, heritage values, and managerial characteristics. Risk parameters were determined as hazard and exposure, vulnerability, and coping capacity and calculated with risk factors. Risk assessment and risk reduction implementation and mapping were prepared as a guideline by the collaboration of information coming from site survey and literature review. The preparedness of historic urban sites against deliberate destructions was increased by the risk reduction strategies of DRMP. Results obtained by implementation of risk assessment strategies of DRMP to the case study area showed that the southeast of the case study area has high risk level. The implementation of risk reduction strategies created a dramatic decrease of risk level from high to low.
