Abstract

Sustainable restoration process is one of the biggest challenges for public and private decision makersin the Cultural Heritage sector. Currently, sustainability assessment methods are well established toolsto quantitatively determine their environmental (LCA), economic (LCC) and social (SLCA) impacts fromproducts/service across the entire value chain. Nevertheless, while these life cycle methods are widelyapplied in many industries and service sectors, they still are at its infancy in the restoration work ofCultural Heritage. The main goal of this paper is to define and build a general framework including allimpact indicators related to the restoration work processes to apply experimentally, and for the firsttime, all the sustainability assessment dimensions together within the Cultural Heritage sector. The ISO14040 standard under guidelines published by the UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative has been used as anassessment tool. Then, a CH-LCM Model framework based on a previous work from the author is appliedto the real case concerning the restoration of the fortress of Uncastillo (Spain). The data collected fromthe real case concerning the restoration of the fortress of Uncastillo (Spain) have allowed us to reachtwo objectives: firstly, to validate the model empirically and, secondly, to identify successful managerialpractices for the decision makers. In this respect, the paper shows that the life cycle approach can beconsidered an effective method for improving innovative managerial practices towards the sustainability,preservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage by assessing the environmental impact, the financialand economic feasibility and the implementation of an engagement strategy for the stakeholders. Finally,we have pointed out a set of valuable recommendations for future actions.
