Metodología para la evaluación de impactos en el patrimonio cultural, a partir de propuestas de intervención en el espacio público. Caso aplicativo: barrio San Roque Plaza Sucre

Abstract

All territories, either of urban or rural kind, are constantly immerse in a process of change, mainly in fact of economical, social, political and cultural pressures. In consequence, a deep comprehension of the historical landscape value is strongly needed before intervening in a project. Any alteration in landscape integrity will constitute either a threatening or maybe an input for its heritage condition: considering the high vulnerability, as this category of space comprises non-renewable sources.

The proposal of a preventive and systemic method is key to identify this sort of heritage impacts. So, this present research aims to formulate both to implement a preventive methodology system in public space intervening projects, within a patrimonial component. Detecting and evaluating impacts derives directly from site and the various social actors related to its management. Indeed, an evaluation of impacts is focused on analysis and on decision-making before starting an intervening project, in order to support its heritage conservation. Finally, it was necessary to formulate additional indicators to increase the scale of analysis of site: the need for tools that measure quantitatively for a comparative purpose, the creation of parameters to an ex-post evaluation and the importance of time monitoring; all of them to provide suitable information on site management and on project decision-making.
