Intervención de la hacienda Tierra Grata como catalizador para la apropiación histórica en el municipio de Fusagasugá, Cundinamarca

Abstract

This research focuses on addressing the issue of neglect and lack of conservation of properties with profound historical and symbolic value in the municipality of Fusagasugá, Cundinamarca. This problem, unfortunately common in various regions, threatens the preservation of the municipality's identity and cultural legacy. The deterioration of these cultural assets is evident and is related to several factors, putting their significance and architectural integrity at risk. This, in turn, has a negative impact on the appreciation of local history and the loss of Fusagasugá's identity. The primary objective of this project is to understand the underlying causes of the neglect and lack of conservation in Fusagasugá, as well as to assess its impact on the city's cultural identity. To achieve this, an analysis encompassing historical, cultural, social, and political aspects will be conducted. Additionally, existing policies and regulations related to heritage conservation in the city will be examined. One of the fundamental purposes of this research is to recover the lost cultural identity through the historical connection between heritage and the community. The preservation of heritage is not only essential for the historical memory of Fusagasugá but can also be a driver for the city's cultural, social, and economic development. This project aims to contribute to the revaluation and protection of Fusagasugá's cultural heritage, recognizing its importance in building identity and enriching the community's life.
