Abstract

Heritage sites are vital cultural assets, preserving the history and achievements of societies. These sites face threats from urban expansion, environmental degradation, and climate change. This paper proposes a systematic, methodological, and multi-temporal monitoring approach for heritage sites, focusing on the historic Wolvesey Castle in Winchester, using medium-resolution satellite data. The approach aims to assess structural stability, quantify risks, and guide conservation interventions while respecting the sites' significance.The integration of remote sensing with traditional structural assessment methods provides a
comprehensive framework for Heritage Conservation.
While remote sensing offers significant advantages, it should be complemented by on-site inspections to
ensure a detailed evaluation. The combined methodology supports the development of effective conservation strategies, ensuring the long-term preservation of heritage sites under changing environmental conditions.
