Abstract The damage to cultural heritage sites caused by heavy rain has significantly increased since 2020, continuing an upward trend over the past 16 years from 2008 to 2023. This study classified the scale of damage to cultural heritage sites caused by heavy rain over the past 16 years into five levels and analyzed the differences in the scale of damage based on cumulative rainfall to understand the characteristics of the damage. The findings shows that the damage to cultural heritage sites due to heavy rain is increasing, with 61% of the total requiring repairs and maintenance, including dismantlement and restoration. Additionally, as the cumulative rainfall over 14 days increased, the scale of the damage also grew. Lastly, it was found that the regular preservation status of cultural heritage sites is also a significant factor affecting the extent of the damage. The scale and characteristics of the damage are taken into account in disaster response measures for storm and flood damage, including heavy rain, it will contribute to more effective responses.
