Abstract : Historical Locations, such as Al-Turaif District, are exposed to a wide range of risks that could have major impacts on reputation, assets, or people. Therefore, risk assessment and management is an essential element in the protection of assets and people in At-Turaif District. The objective of the current study is to develop a risk assessment and management model based on multicriteria decision making (MCDM) methods to prioritize risk management measures. Prioritizing Al-Turaif buildings for risk management was performed using AHP-TOPSIS method and by scoring the buildings regarding five criteria (1) Risk rate, (2) Heritage value, (3) Important, (4) maximum occupancy, and (5) Traffic. The results of the risk assessments indicated that there are electric, physical, fire, environmental, and security hazards. Risk assessment also proposed control plan for each hazard. Based on AHP-TOPSIS results, the twenty-eight buildings were ranked according to the five criteria with Salwa Palace, Traditional Homes, Omar Palace, and Beit Almal having the highest priorities for risk management. On the other hand, some Souks and Clusters were found to have the lowest priority. It was found that the main influencing criteria were risk rate and heritage value. The study recommends conducting further research on mud buildings and heritage sites in Saudi Arabia, as it is unique for the country, and recommends plans to eliminates the main hazards such as mud damages by spraying walls with protective coating. develop new SOP (Standard operation procedures) for the worker to follow. Additionally, the study recommends improving the hazards control strategy and implement new action for hazards.
