In recent years, catastrophes, both natural and man-made, have struck frequently in many parts of the world. These events have adversely impacted not only people and communities but also cultural heritage. As a collaboration between anthropologists and architects, this special issue focuses on cultural heritage in relation to tourism and disaster risk reduction from the viewpoint of resilience. Defining the term resilience as a capacity for adapting to changes in existing conditions, papers in this special issue discuss social, cultural, and political resilience in relation to disaster risk reduction by examining the cases of Mount Fuji in Japan, Lijiang and Beichuan in China, Bali in Indonesia, Patan in Nepal, and Bergama in Turkey. In so doing, they uncover the ethnographic meanings of “living together with cultural heritage” in the intertwined context of cultural heritage, tourism and disaster risk reduction in the age of global disaster.
