Abstract

This article seeks to introduce a novel approach for the valuation of the memorial heritage of Chile. The paper proposes that values, as social constructs, are subjective and changing and that, in the case of Sites of Memory, they are highly contested. We analyzed how different communities valued the site based on a specific case study, the Parque por la Paz Villa Grimaldi. For this, we used multiple methods for data collection: an exhaustive bibliographic review, the review of official documents of the site and the Council of National Monuments, and online reviews. These were analyzed through qualitative thematic analysis, using as initial themes the values proposed by Worthing and Bond. From this first analysis, we defined that the values are interdependent and that the site's significance operates as a complex and multidimensional system. Values mapped using a dynamic system approach illustrate the relationships between values and communities. The article concludes that to ensure the sustainability of the Memory Sites in the future, it is necessary to include the perspectives of the different social actors in their enhancement. Furthermore, the article offers recommendations for managing potential tensions and developing an integrated and holistic enhancement strategy.
