Traditional conservation methods rely on expert supervision and intervention only when deterioration is observed; however, this approach is insufficient to combat climate change. While automated monitoring systems are used as an alternative, limited site access, high costs, and the long duration of the deterioration process also limit this method (Roqui et al., 2025). Because cultural heritage sites are located in different regions of the world, the effects of climate change also vary. According to data from a 2008 study, 46 World Heritage sites affected by climate change include archaeological remains, churches, mosques, temples, castles, and cultural landscapes (UNESCO World Heritage Centre, 2007). Historical buildings are structures dating back to prehistoric and historical periods, constructed using the original materials and building techniques of their time. These structures reflect the architectural, social, cultural, religious, and economic characteristics of the era to which they belong. (Law No. 2863, 1983; Çelik, 2021).
