With more government attempts being made to establish a safety management system that is both anticipatory and preventative, the necessity is increasing for the establishment of a management system to manage and apply the information of damage and safety management for cultural heritage.As the ultimate purpose of the present research is to establish an efficient and systematic damage and safety management system for cultural heritage, we evaluated the weighted grades, adopting the AHP analysis tool to develop a quantitative evaluation index, which will support rational decision-making.To take into account the comprehensive management of damage and safety for cultural heritage, the evaluation index is divided into the risk (negative) and reduction (positive), threatening (external factors) and vulnerability (internal factors), and the supplementation (external factors) and prevention of disaster (internal factors).Furthermore, using a case study, 16 evaluation points have been developed as the preliminary points.This demonstrated that human resources for prevention and preventive management were the two areas with the highest weighted grades.
