“…This development was fuelled by international ideas on the city's urban fabric and the possibilities of transformation and urban renewal. The debates of the post-war years and the effects of Modernist transformations of city centres led to a proconservation reaction throughout Europe (Veldpaus et al, 2013).…”

“…Already during the late nineteenth century, there were suggestions of a wider scope and scale of looking at the meaning and management of heritage conservation. In the European context, people like John Ruskin, Camillo Sitte and Patrick Geddes developed ideas on the importance of a wider scope for heritage conservation (Veldpaus, Pereira Roders, & Colenbrander, 2013). They saw the city and its landscape as a living ecosystem and emphasized the need for conservation of urban structure and fabric (Choay, 1999).…”

Heritage is a highly malleable concept that is constantly in flux and whose substance and meaning are continuously being redefined by society. From such a dynamic perspective, it is inevitable that new approaches and practices have developed for dealing with heritage in the context of planned development. While most scholars acknowledge the existence of various heritage approaches, one of the major defining features is often neglected: their distinctive outlook on spatial dynamics. In this article, the shifting role and purpose of heritage conservation in Dutch spatial planning is analysed. A conceptual framework is introduced that frames three approaches to the planning treatment of heritage; the sector, factor and vector approach, respectively. Although these approaches have developed in a historical sequence, the new did not replace the old but rather gained ground amongst different actors. Thus, three quite different ways of treating the past in the present now coexist in Dutch planning practice. Although this coexistence can raise conflict, we argue that contemporary heritage planning does not call for a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather for a mixed-mode model. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The growing and changing understanding of the nature of cultural heritage has an effect on the guidelines and approaches that recommend how to manage heritage (e.g Smith, 2006;Pendlebury, 2008;Fairclough et al, 2008;Pendlebury et al, 2009;Whitehand, 2012;Veldpaus et al, 2013), and very likely also on the actual practices of heritage management (Pickard, 2002;Waterton et al, 2006). Evolving theoretical concepts require evolving approaches and strategies to be applied and adapted in local reality.…”

“…That seems to disagree with the very nature of the environment as most heritage can be found in the living city, where change is the rule. This paradox has kept heritage theory and management busy since its beginnings; in fact the history of heritage seems a continuous attempt to reconcile conservation and development (Araoz, 2011;Bandarin and Van Oers, 2012;Veldpaus et al, 2013).…”

“…In this regard, results belong to a broader research project that goes into a comprehensive understanding of the nature and extent of the District as a heritage site. The extensive study is based on the preventive conservation approach (Van Balen and Vandesande, 2013) and considers the sustainable development dimensions in order to contribute to draft management plans and support decision-making process. Further work needs to focus on specific threats to the architectural set by thoroughly examining its condition.…”

ABSTRACT:Recent policies adopted in Cuba are producing a significant turn into the country's socioeconomic dynamics. Past shifting circumstances have demonstrated the positive and negative implications on heritage sites. In this regard, this paper presents a first stage of a research project aimed at monitoring the impact of socioeconomic dynamics on local heritage sites. The research partial results focus on the documentation of the evolution of a case study: Vista Alegre District in the city of Santiago de Cuba. Scholars have noted that the District's urban design and historic building stock represent its most significant heritage values. Such qualities are under permanent threat due to transformations and deterioration. In order to analyse current site condition, and to understand transformations as a result of socioeconomic dynamics, a Geographic Information System (GIS) was implemented as a monitoring and documenting tool. The GIS allowed integrating data related to the evolution of the urban layout, and the heritage buildings. Data was sourced from heritage management and urban planning offices, as well as from previous studies on the site. In addition, the analysis of remote sensing imagery, and a field survey helped to update the existing records, and to include new information with the purpose of assessing the integrity of heritage values. At this stage, maps that describe the site evolution, the significant changes over time, and the alterations to character defining elements served to identify sectors of different scenic qualities. Results are essential to contribute to draft management strategies as part of decision making.
