ABSTRACT
This paper departs from questioning the relationship between the everyday maker and the built environment. It thus, positions the human reflections and daily interactions with the cultural heritage in terms of human sensory experiences at the center of its empirical research. The process of perceptions mapping is a sense-making process during which people map what they feel their cultural, natural and human assets are; express their opinions, ideas, needs and aspirations but also; raise concerns and highlight conflicts related to the management, conservation and preservation of the cultural heritage for future generations. Departing from the perceptions, the collective memory of what a place was to the community arises. Likewise, diverging and/or converging perspectives emerge in reference to what it is today and above all, how the community would like it to be tomorrow.
