MEASURING HERITAGE CONSERVATION PERFORMANCE 6th International Seminar on Urban Conservation • Regulations regarding preservation criteria, intervention modes, conservation and rehabilitation of buildings, and management mechanisms must be in place. • The owners of heritage buildings must keep them in good order, and make the necessary works to conserve or rehabilitate them. • An ordinance compliance control mechanism is to follow up conservation and rehabilitation actions, in association with the Private Works General Office and using the guidelines determined by the Planning Office, through the Urban and Architectural Heritage Conservation and Rehabilitation Program.

Inventory - Indexing Review of the Central Area Heritage Buildings and Sites Inventory and Catalogue (Figure 4) was proposed, to substitute the Inventory enacted by ordinance 7.156/01. Moreover, Decree 28148 stipulated that the Heritage Conservation and Rehabilitation Program would send the Council an updated Inventory of Central Area Heritage works and sites, would study the particular cases of protection by section and protection of the vicinity, and would include new buildings in the inventory and/ or remove those buildings that no longer retain the special nature which first helped to include them in the inventory. 5.2.2. Inventory and indexing of Rosario’s Central Area Architectural and Urban Historical Heritage Property This instrument helps define regulations for architectural heritage protection and conservation in the city as a whole. It stipulates the following elements: • Categories: grouped according to how an indexed building is capable of constituting a place. The city contains unique buildings, and other buildings that make up sections (sections and section-corners) which contribute to the definition of urban fabric. • Degrees of protection: establish the restrictions enforced. • Comprehensive protection of the property: achieved through assessment of its distinctive parts, preservation of its surroundings and/or conservation of ornamental components and their corresponding record or documentary conservation. There are two types of protection of the inventoried property: direct or indirect. 17 The first type highlights two gradients: comprehensive and partial. Scientific restoration criteria determine the interventions. Also, specific protection is introduced to keep a documentary record of the ornamental elements, and environmental protection is introduced to protect public spaces. Intervention levels describe the intervention modes for conservation and/or rehabilitation and the possibility of reforms and/ or extension of the inventoried property according to its heritage value. Each degree of building protection admits a different level of intervention. The Urban and Architectural Heritage Conservation and Rehabilitation Program plans to update the Heritage Buildings and Sites Inventory and Catalogue on a regular basis, to include buildings from different areas of the city, and to change the degree Rainero, C. 2012.

MEASURING HERITAGE CONSERVATION PERFORMANCE 6th International Seminar on Urban Conservation of protection of the buildings which might reach the status of ruin. 5.2.3. Historical Protection Areas - APH Historical protected areas were defined and demarcated as a protective regulating instrument. Among the instruments devised to protect and/or realize the city’s built, environmental and landscape heritage, the Historical Protection Areas (APH) and the Ecological and Environmental Protection Areas (APEA) are worth focusing on. These, added to the urban indexes proposed by the new urban code, deal with the conservation of the property and preservation of the landscape in a comprehensive way. Those sectors in the urban fabric containing historically and/or architecturally valuable buildings or particular conditions in their construction, in the morphology of the whole building and in the composition and/or character of their public spaces need to be protected. Several management instruments are articulated to ensure urban landscape conservation: • Inventory and indexing of heritage property. • Degrees of construction protection for inventoried property. • Construction conservation measures and potential transformations of use. • Specific urban indicators for the lots involved. • Conditions for design, materials and installation of elements on the façade. Numerous APHs have been established in the central areas — Pichincha, Oroño, Paseo del Siglo — and in the once neighboring towns, today residential districts: Pueblo Alberdi, Saladillo and Fisherton (currently in progress) to enable the protection of the whole complex beyond the individual works. Disclosure strategies and citizens’ participation. Disclosure is an instrument that permits the average person to get acquainted with heritage protection actions. The following disclosure strategies of the direct protection instruments described — inventories and APH — intend to involve the average person in heritage conservation: • Urban rides related to the heritage property that originates the APH. • Publication of a catalogue containing the urban routes. The specialist group I belong to, representing Universidad Nacional de Rosario in the Agreement with the Municipality of Rosario, has just elaborated a project called ‘Agreed — Shared-Heritage’, which permits the active participation of the average person in the appraisal of heritage. Once the inventory of the city areas is proposed, mechanisms are established to disclose its progress so that the citizens can to voice their opinion. New heritage elements which are especially meaningful to the inhabitants, and which after the initial historical/architectural/documentary appraisal contributed by the specialists were not included in the inventory, may be incorporated. Including the directly involved social actors’ opinion helps to verify inventory relevance. This project’s particular objectives: • To communicate to the citizens the catalogue of weighted works as city heritage corresponding to the districts. • To encourage rediscovery of significant works in the area which determine the identity of the urban landscape. • To enable the contribution of the citizens in the recognition and appraisal of urban cultural heritage. • To establish a space of citizen participation in the actions involving local heritage. This initiative becomes an inventory validation tool. This will permit appreciation and rightsizing of the Heritage surveyed as a group elaboration by all the actors, specialists and general public, who determine the urban fact, from a new qualitative interpretation that includes the appraisal arising from symbolic heritage (intangible heritage) contributed to by the experiences that create urban culture in time. This project encourages citizens to discover and appraise the heritage that characterizes, defines, and identifies the place where they live. We consider that feeling a part of it all involves citizens in its conservation. Instruments for Monitoring and Assessment. A strategy must be formulated to assess the new code actions’ effectiveness, especially in the central area, in relation to the substitution of heritage property (for example, by discouraging tall buildings), Rainero, C. 2012.
