Abstract
To understand the real situation of heritage buildings of the Valle del Cauca that the Colombian government has listed as of Cultural Interest of the Nation (BIC), despite progress and achievements in terms of heritage protection, by the Ministry of Culture, it is evident in many cases the lack of knowledge of these goods and the need for action for the conservation of heritage buildings. Over the years, there have been frequent situations of ignorance of the legal framework by the three key players in the construction of memory and identity from the physical assessment of buildings that can recognize our history. The government custody and legislates the general rules for the protection of heritage at the national level, however communication required by the estates to the population, is based on legal articles that do not permeate the community, not illustrated and generate a lack in many cases even to the same owners of the properties listed. Train stations in Valle del Cauca represent more than 50% of the built heritage and are the most deteriorated buildings; the analysis performed in this study tends to establish a baseline of the causes and possible future actions that take into account the community that identifies with the heritage resource.
