Entropía cultural. Influencia del Centro Histórico en la identidad cultural y la puesta en valor del patrimonio en la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

When referring to cultural heritage we are dealing with various forms of expression, symbolism and representations, it is the set of tangible and intangible assets that reinforce a sense of community with its own identity. It must be understood that cities are in constant development because inhabitants and spaces must adapt to new ways of life, this does not exclude historic cities, so they must be considered as spaces that tell history and that in turn meet current needs. To achieve this conservation or maintenance, the participation and commitment of the inhabitants is necessary, linking the historical and cultural memory of a certain place to rediscover the links with the space, generating a new meaning and reflection on one's own individuality.
