Throughout history, humanity preferred to live near the water. Therefore, the coasts have become the centers of trade and cultural exchange. Turkiye has numerous cultural heritage sites on the coast under the threat of sea level rise due to climate change. The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK) funded project “Vulnerability of Coastal Cultural Heritage Areas to Sea Level Rise and Its Impacts” (No: 122M613) focuses on Turkish coastal cultural heritage sites protected by law. The project aims to quantify coastal vulnerability by using the Fuzzy Coastal Vulnerability Assessment Model (Ozyurt, 2010) and integrating this information into a specific module that will be developed for the cultural heritage context.
