Abstract

The objective of this article is to contribute to discussions concerning cultural heritage from a Geography perspective by understanding how geographic concepts have been used by the State to identify and protect heritage. To achieve this objective an extensive document review was carried out in the archives of the Institute of National Historic and Artistic Heritage as well as a specialized bibliographic review made of themes related to heritage, public policy and the theoretical-methodological contributions of Geography to this topic. In addition, information from fieldwork undertaken in previous research was utilized. As a result, we highlight the fact that geographical concepts have been used in heritage policy since the 1930s but they only became key concepts in the 1980s, both by giving other meanings to landscape as well as by appropriating other concepts such as territory and place.
