The geographic location of Ecuador together with its wide altitude range as well as volcanic activity related to the Andean uplift, has granted it a privileged natural landscape characterized by its high biodiversity and exceptional view-sheds. Ecuador has three World Heritage Sites that are located along the glacial valleys and mountain chains of the Andean Mountain Range, where pronounced slopes and constantly changing land use makes them especially vulnerable to landscape alterations. Ecuadorian landscapes are exclusive testimonies of human interaction with the natural environment, giving way to cultural landscapes with prominent historic value. This paper pretends to make some recommendations to develop policies regarding the protection of Ecuadorian landscapes. The aim is to contribute to the debate by reflecting on the current national policies and regulations regarding Landscape and comparing them with the state of art in the region and the rest of the world.
Heritage values: towards a holistic and participatory management approach
(2019) Heras Barros, Veronica Cristina; Moscoso Cordero, Maria Soledad; Wijffels Anja, Louisa Maria; Tenze Alicia, Margarita; Jaramillo Paredes, Diego Esteban
Purpose In other fields, like natural resources, a wide range of participatory methods have been applied, criticized and adapted trough practice. Areas such as anthropology, history or architecture have contributed to the identification of heritage values. Semi-structured interviews and cultural mapping are examples of qualitative and participative methods that have been applied already in the conservation field. Nevertheless, no framework exists to assess the effectiveness of such methods and little experience has been built up in actor’s integration within the heritage value identification process. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework to recognize heritage values incorporating multidisciplinary and multi-actor perspectives. Design/methodology/approach The socio-praxis approach, which is the outcome of an articulation of diverse methodologies that aim to support social processes from a bottom-up …

In rural areas, the conservation of the built heritage faces several difficulties that involve technological, social and economic aspects. The possibility that heritage is an agent of social cohesion and economic development, and that in turn generates local maintenance initiatives, are key issues discussed in this article. This work shares the results of a systematically planned and executed work, which took three months of preparation and five days of execution, carried out by the students and professors of the University of Cuenca, taking advantage of all available technical resources, and promoting the resurgence of an ancient practice of collective work, known as minga. Maintenance actions were carried out, in around fifty peasant buildings, work that opted for a change in the perception of the community towards heritage. Although the community has not replicated a similar experience due to the difficulty of obtaining economic resources for its organization, the experience is positive because there are small-scale actions and a shared consideration that this has been a starting point for future actions.
