Abstract (in English)

The concept of spirit and place are defined through a philosophical view. Upon a preliminary reference that considers cultural diversity, there are proposed categories with the objective to construct a conceptual framework: natural landscapes and human settlements; significant nature and sacred places; constructed structures with historical testimonies and living settlements; objects and itineraries. Taking the premise that through times some places have attractiveness that till now have been their hidden values, it is fundamental to identify this spirit that can give sustainability for their adequate development. Thus it is possible to create physical anchors for the lasting intangible values of a culture.
