Road monitoring systems can be effective in the mitigation of damage to cultural heritage sites when disaster strikes historical cities. In this research, the effects of road monitoring systems for cultural heritage disaster mitigation are estimated. The effective location planning of the surveillance cameras is considered based on the locations of cultural heritage sites and the characteristics of the city’s road network. To select the best locations, the genetic algorithm is applied. It is demonstrated that use of the genetic algorithm to select the location of the road monitoring system’s surveillance cameras greatly increases the system’s effectiveness.
