Summary
Integrating local communities into heritage conservation efforts significantly enhances the sustainability and value of cultural patrimony. A study led by Hernández Castro and Zacarías Capistrán demonstrates that participatory activities—such as workshops, volunteer programs, and educational campaigns—elevate both tangible and intangible heritage in historic centers like Tlacotalpan, Veracruz. The research highlights EPIC's methodology, which fosters a collective perception of cultural significance through community engagement. This approach not only preserves but also revitalizes historical sites by empowering residents as active stewards. The findings underscore the strategic importance of societal involvement in maintaining dynamic and resilient urban heritage ecosystems.
