Patrimonial Urban Architectural Valuation of the Municipality of San Juan del Sur

Abstract

The research Valoración Patrimonial Urbano Arquitectónico del Municipio de San Juan del Sur, tries to identify the Patrimonial Values of the typical wood architecture of this city, which will serve as a reference for future works of Heritage Conservation of constructions of San Juan del Sur, in support of the general work done by the Instituto Nicaragüense de Cultura (INC) and any investigative work on the history of this Municipality.

The theme raises the ways in which the legacy of the city has been lost and how important it is to identify the buildings that are still present in order to avoid the continued extinction of our local and national heritage, through an identification that allows the valuation of the most important buildings.

The documentary investigative work is based on the analysis of the information obtained from concepts, theories, regulations, laws, valuation criteria and the information collected in the city through interviews.

The valuation took into account all those constructions that obtained the highest score in the matrix of valuation aspects based on the criteria of Dr. Eliana Cárdenas and those who had availability to access the information that was required.

The development and culmination of this work was achieved through qualitative descriptive and general documentary design applying the techniques of observation, data collection, deduction, architectural physical measurement, photography, analysis, synthesizing each aspect collected and creating new information that lacked the town.
