MEASURING HERITAGE CONSERVATION PERFORMANCE 6th International Seminar on Urban Conservation that can be measured by following up the filing of demolition and new work forms. Regarding the statements of Environmental Protection Areas and Historical Protection Areas, a plan is being devised to permit monitoring (identification, recording, and assessment tasks) in those areas, as an evaluation tool to measure effectiveness of the proposed conservation measures. Last but equally important are the supervision actions that must be proposed in relation to the interventions in the buildings included in the inventory.18 Establishing protection degrees to limit and define the permitted actions on the property becomes worthless if compliance is not supervised. It is also necessary to have a comprehensive preventive conservation program of that unique property in order to ensure its conservation conditions once intervention has been made.19 It is worth remembering that one of the primary dimensions of heritage is its documentary nature, and each intervention damages the property to a higher or lower degree. Therefore, the actions must be anticipated in order for harm to be minimized. Conclusion From the mid-20 th century until the enactment of the Rosario Urban Plan, the instruments responsible for preserving and conserving urban cultural heritage proved to be inadequate and insufficient. Isolated efforts, an elaboration of the inventory or an approximation to the definition of Historical Protection Areas, cannot be managed in a sustainable way. Heritage management policies must cease to be restrictive and must permit city transformations through the effective inclusion of the heritage property in urban planning. In the recent years the Conservation Program has developed a sustained action in relation to urban heritage, eliminating the dissociated interpretation of heritage and urban development, and including it as an inseparable factor in the constitution of the city landscape. While cultural heritage refers to the inhabitants’ identity and the city memory — the identity dimension — its potential cannot be wasted in relation to its capacity to promote urban transformations and local development. So far, actions have focused on the identity dimension rather than on the transformation potential, economic appraisal, sustainability and <strong>part</strong>icipation of citizens. As I see it, however, guidelines or instruments have to be devised to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed actions and to monitor their effect in the long term. Imbalances must be noticed, and the instruments that directly or indirectly act on complex heritage property must be self-regulated or adjusted. Preventive conservation has contributed a new commitment to follow up and control actions on cultural property, struggling for minimal interventions, potential to reverse actions and supported by scientific knowledge. Urban heritage conservation policies should be ruled in the same way, introducing conservation and intervention evaluation and monitoring tools. From the aforesaid, several questions arise: • Which indicators account for the effectiveness of the conservation policies implemented? • Is monitoring a key tool? • Who must execute it? • Does citizens’ <strong>part</strong>icipation have the highest potential to follow up the actions that compromise urban heritage? If the citizens are uninterested in conservation, nothing can be sustained. Heritage protection is not feasible just with the elaboration of property inventories or protective regulations. These represent the reference framework and the starting point of a continuous and permanent follow-up and monitoring of actions, which public conservation policies elaborate in relation to urban landscape transformations.

This is so expressed back in 1964, in the Venice Letter, Section 4, which reads: …monument preservation requires, first and foremost, a great deal of permanent care of the monument… 19 In 1997, within the Framework of the Urban Heritage Conservation Municipal Program, the Heritage Buildings Sponsorship Plan was proposed, to include restoration of paradigmatic buildings in the central area.
