Introduction: This study investigates safeguarding strategies for heritage in low-density territories within within the Intermunicipal Community of Douro (CIM Douro), exploring the challenges associated with the preservation of both cultural and natural heritage.
Objective: The objective is to assess the effectiveness of heritage protection measures in the 19 municipalities of CIM Douro, providing a systematic verification tool for local authorities and the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage (DGPC).
Methods: The methodology included the development of a checklist to ensure a standardized analysis of cultural assets, facilitating the systematic evaluation of conservation strategies.
Results: The results highlight the need for coordinated action between municipalities and heritage management bodies, emphasizing the relevance of programs such as PROVERE Douro 2020 and the Douro 2030 Strategy in promoting sustainable territorial development.
Conclusion: It is concluded that effective heritage preservation in low-density areas requires innovative approaches, integrating institutional cooperation, active community involvement, and strategic resource allocation to ensure long-term cultural and socio-economic sustainability.
