Résumé en anglais

The concept of spirit and place are defined through aphilosophical view. Upon a preliminary reference that considers
cultural diversity, there are proposed categories with theobjective to construct a conceptual framework: natural
landscapes and human settlements; significant nature and sacredplaces; constructed structures with historical testimonies and
living settlements; objects and itineraries. Taking the premisethat through times some places have attractiveness that till now
have been their hidden values, it is fundamental to identify thisspirit that can give sustainability for their adequate development.
Thus it is possible to create physical anchors for the lastingintangible values of a culture.
