Lesson Learned from Recovery Project of Bam's Cultural Heritage(RPBCH)

Abstract eng:
The destructive earthquake of 26th December 2003 caused huge damages in Bam Citadel and the Cultural Landscape of the city of Bam. Immediately after the earthquake the Recovery Project of Bam’s Cultural Heritage (RPBCH) was established for controlling the critical period of time and tried to organize the unpredicted events after the main shock. The duty of RPBCH was divided into various fields; generally such as: crisis managements, organizing / managing the historical sites (the Citadel and other Cultural Landscapes in Bam City). But through the time and after passing the critical points the RPBCH tends to its main duty which is conservation of cultural heritage. Means providing a plan for debris removal, conservation, restoration, safe guarding, monitoring and other expected issues relevant to the great number of the monuments in Bam and its Cultural Landscapes. This paper is trying to address those activities that were organized after the earthquake and current backbone of activities / management in RPBCH, although the future plan is included the contents too.
