Remarks

History is not just the significant past, it is evidence of a continuing commitment to tradition in the physical signifies the importance of heritage and a symbol of cultural resilience. The historic structure is more than a physical thing; it differentiates the landscape and provides society with the opportunity to merge our memory of the past, challenges of the present, and hopes for the future.

Developing comprehensive plans for managing the threatened archaeological and natural sites of climate change is essential according to the monitoring methodology and including the management stages. Zoom Out and Zoom In approaches are mixed methods that draw the frame of our research conservation principles and guidelines. Where two conservation frameworks and processes in both macrolevel and microlevel for preserving the threatened coastal historic sites and buildings are presented, considering the comprehensive documenting, and the definition of the environmental condition and problem based on research assessments to ensure the preserving quality and process.
