Cuenca has a unique and unrepeatable historic center that has won the title of World Cultural Heritage. However, after fifteen years of its declaration, the heritage property that comprise it are exposed to a gradual deterioration due to the lack of economic and technical resources for its conservation, to which must be added the underutilization of heritage education and heritage information.
Keywords: Monitoring System, periodic reporting.
