The main objective of the study is to challenge previous approaches to heritage, both in
terms of management and conceptualization. It aims to highlight the importance and articulation of
the different attributes in abandoned vernacular landscapes in search of a sustainable approach. To do
so, the study focuses on a specific landscape in the Mediterranean basin where three areas of intensity
have been selected for an eventual assessment of the principles of integration and consistency of
the landscape. These areas have helped to establish the importance of distance and cognition in
determining strategies for sustainable tourism. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have allowed
us to ascertain the extent to which values, previously acquired from participatory fieldwork, can be
detected depending on proximity or remoteness, as well as their application in the three cases for
assessment. Thus, five criteria have been established to analyse these values: (1) overview of the
landscape, (2) dominance or intensity of elements, (3) the aesthetic composition of space, (4) the
selective interpretation of the visual variables, and (5) the fragility of specific areas in the landscape.
Finally, the discussed criteria provide new insights into the dynamic and static realms of authenticity
and integrity, which have helped in the analysis of previous rigid conventions on values, time,
perception, and approach. [-]
