AB - ‘Preliminary Research on ICH Safeguarding and Disaster Risk Management in the Asia- Pacific Region’ started in April 2016, as a new research project under the new Medium- Term Programme (FY 2016–2020) of the International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (IRCI). The project specifically focused on aspects related to natural hazards because in the Asia- Pacific region, a great number of countries frequently suffer severe events. Cyclones/ typhoons, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, drought and volcanic eruptions sometimes bring about disastrous consequences for these countries’ peoples. Thus, natural hazards and disasters are considered a factor threatening the viability of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). International awareness concerning protecting and safeguarding cultural heritage against disasters has been growing. UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy for 2014–2021 (37C/4) emphasises the urgent need to respond to post-conflict and post-disaster situations (PCPD) (UNESCO 2014), and the UN’s Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 also calls for protection of cultural heritage (UNISDR 2015). However, while both domestic and international efforts have been increased for protecting and rescuing cultural heritage affected by severe disasters, such activities largely center on ‘tangible’ heritage while impacts on ‘intangible’ cultural heritage (ICH) are frequently overlooked. In the UNESCO policy framework for ICH, Operational Directives for the Implementation of the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage added a new paragraph on ‘Community-based resilience to natural disasters and climate change’ (VI.3.3), reflecting the discussion on ICH and sustainable development (UNESCO 2016). Since 2016, the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage has also discussed this issue under the theme of ‘Intangible cultural heritage in emergencies’.
