“…Thus, visitors recognised the importance of everyday practices and the relevance of values and attributes integral to the historic environment as the local character's identifiers. People must understand and assess attributes and values [57] to achieve the ultimate goal: to retrieve and manage architectural and social values of interest for the different social groups in tourism management and heritage conservation [58,59]. In Vik's writing [60], the processes of this approach may help create a large pool of cultural assets through which heritage is democratised, transversal, and comprehensible.…”

Heritage tourism bases its definition on searching for different, authentic, and somewhat unexplored places. Recent literature speaks of the growth of new forms of tourism based on the tradition that seeks to surprise visitors with popular culture, traditional activities, or actions that bring traditional culture closer to tourists. However, the reality is that the influx of tourists to small mountain villages is marked by the most “monumental” historical and architectural values, leaving aside some other minor attributes. This article uses the historical centres of rural villages to place inhabitants’ knowledge at the centre of tourism initiatives. The aim of the study was to develop cohesive and inclusive tourism activities in historic centres by analysing the built environment’s attributes and values. A participatory methodology marks the cultural change to enhance collaboration through transparent and ethical foundations and respect these places’ distinctive character. The study of values helped to conduct an in-depth analysis of local realities to document and map historical centres’ tangible attributes through crafts, traditional culture, and local heritage forms.

“…The project to extend Blasco Ibañez Avenue meant the demolition of 1,651 homes, destroying a great part of the urban fabric and dividing an area that had already been granted national protection as a Site of Cultural Interest. The platform was an open space where anyone who wanted to defend the integrity of the neighbourhood of El Cabanyal could participate (García-Esparza, 2011. The objective of the platform was, from the first moment, opposition to the municipal project.…”

“…Besides, this term helps extend the social ties as evidence of common patterns when occupying space. It also informs informally changing alternatives and is open to re-configurations in ambiguous settings (Edensor, 2005;García-Esparza, 2011;2016;Martin, 2014).…”

This paper critically explores the evaluation of Historic Centres (HC) to establish new perspectives for the management of their values and attributes. The unconventional interpretation of these HC relies on therevision of the UNESCO Operational Guidelines to achieve new approaches to the cultural diversity of these spaces. A methodological approach based on interviews and open data cross-referencing aims to integrate the social and cultural aspects of the World Heritage cities (WH) in Spain. The research analyses the eventual cultural, architectural and social stratification as elements that need updating to manage HC. Therefore, this research addresses narrative interpretations, both of inhabitants and visitors, as forms of behaviour, expressions and adaptations that result in idiosyncratic innovation and experimentation in the urban fabric. The research steams from a series of scientific contributions to the research projects Writing Urban Places, COST Action 18126, and Dynamics of placemaking, COST Action 18204, (2019-2023). Through a mixed methodology of qualitative and quantitative data analysis, the research aims to analyse the interdependenciesbetween physical conservation, social awareness and sustainable development of some WH areas in Spain.Data is analysed by means of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to spatially comprehend the engineeredspace in medium-sized heritage cities.
