Résumé (en anglais)

The place’s spirit is signaled through the mnemonic loci, due to the meaning that some tangible assets have to a certain human group, influenced by the intangibility surrounding them. Man produces culture in two kinds of assets: tangible and intangible in a closed circle, which, through time it is transformed into a support structure hoard for today’s man’s knowledge of his history. It allows him to identify with the members of his society, to prop the thrill to live in a particular place, and distinguish the contents of his patrimony. Facing an unaware community, it appears impractical to first protect and preserve, and then to pass on; most necessary it becomes to first transmit and later preserve. It is necessary to establish procedures by means of an efficient educative system before the conservation processes for its later appropriation. Here, a proposal is presented.
