dc.description.abstractThe lack of social engagement negatively affects conservation of the built cultural heritage. As dwellings represent 75% of immovable heritage in Ecuador it is imperative to understand social needs and economic conditions of their residents in order to establish protection regulations and to manage these important resources. Traditional housing is one type of cultural heritage where the social and conservation needs strongly coexist and where proper management is critical for the benefit of both. Therefore it is essential to understand the socio-economic-cultural needs, aspects and motivations of the inhabitants through preliminary analysis. This paper presents results from one experience aimed towards measuring habitability in San Gabriel, a medium sized city of Ecuador. This study describes the field work results implemented to test previously analysed data, and the methodological approach that combined different socio-economic, geographical and participatory tools (interviews, observations, surveys) in order to improve heritage management with a mutual benefit for society and cultural heritage.en
