Wildland fire is a socio-natural process embodying a complex duality for human societies. Humans use fire to modify their landscape, clear land for agriculture and development, and replenish soil nutrients. At the same time, fire's destructive power endangers livelihoods, traditions and landscapes. Anthropogenic climate change disrupts the wildfire-human relationship, directly through its influence on the natural environment and indirectly by impacting on societal structures and behaviours, threatening tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Addressing the growing challenges posed by climate-driven fire regime change on tangible and intangible cultural heritage requires building systematic and place-based understanding of the wildfire-culture relationship to underpin policies promoting heritage resilience to wildfire threats.In this context, FIRECULT will: (1) document and explore the role of fire regime characteristics in the development of local cultures, heritage and landscapes; (2) characterize the risk of fire regime change to lifeways, landscapes and landmarks; (3) quantify the direct and indirect costs to cultural heritage resulting from changing wildfire frequency, intensity and extent; (4) assess the sustainability of traditional fire management and identify best practices; (5) develop strategies for wildfire resilient heritage governance; and (6) facilitate transdisciplinary and cross-regional knowledge exchange for heritage conservation across currently and soon-to-be fire prone regions. FIRECULT will examine the climate-wildfire-heritage nexus at the global and local scales. Global modelling activities are designed to assess the cross-border, biome-level effects of climate-induced wildfire regime change on heritage, assessing the risk of fire to ways of life, landscapes, and landmarks. Local analyses take place in four case study sites of heritage-rich landscapes in Ireland, Kenya, Turkey, and Italy, purposefully selected to represent a range of biomes, levels of current and projected fire risk, and traditions of land use management.

荒地火灾是一个社会-自然过程，体现了人类社会复杂的二元性。人类使用火来改变他们的景观，为农业和发展清理土地，并补充土壤养分。与此同时，火的破坏力危及生计、传统和景观。人为气候变化直接影响自然环境，间接影响社会结构和行为，威胁物质和非物质文化遗产，破坏了野火与人类的关系。应对气候驱动的火灾制度变化对物质和非物质文化遗产构成的日益增长的挑战，需要建立对野火-文化关系的系统和基于地点的理解，以支持促进遗产抵御野火威胁的政策。在这方面，FIRECULT将：(1)记录和探索火灾制度特征在当地文化、遗产和景观发展中的作用；(2)表征火灾制度变化对生活方式、景观和地标的风险；(3)量化野火频率、强度和范围变化对文化遗产的直接和间接成本；(4)评估传统火灾管理的可持续性并确定最佳做法；(5)制定应对野火的遗产管理战略；及(6)促进跨学科和跨区域的知识交流，以便在目前和即将发生火灾的地区保护遗产。FIRECULT将在全球和地方尺度上研究气候-野火-遗产之间的联系。全球建模活动旨在评估气候引起的野火制度变化对遗产的跨界生物群水平影响，评估火灾对生活方式、景观和地标的风险。在爱尔兰、肯尼亚、土耳其和意大利的四个遗产丰富景观案例研究地点进行了当地分析，有目的地选择代表一系列生物群落、当前和预测的火灾风险水平以及土地使用管理的传统。
