The declarations of assets inscribed on the World Heritage (WH) list are, for the most part, highly outdated in terms of the identification of Outstanding Universal Values (0UV), which makes it difficult to carry out Heritage Impact Assessments (HIAs) in change management situation. Most of the dossiers were written in the 1980s and 1990s, when this type of documents was limited to describing the assets and their characteristics, focusing on mainly material issues, without specifics attention to environmental and social aspects. The evolution of the concept of heritage, its complexity and that of environments in which these assets are located, require an updating of the significance cultural values that complete the OUV included in the declarations. A task, as Faro Convention (2005) points out, that must be carried out with the communities, implementing participatory processes and with new methodological processes. This work is part of the national research project World Heritage: An approach to social sustainability by updating its cultural values (PID2022-140917OA-I00) focussing on the study of lower course of Guadalquivir River and its relation with the city of Seville in south Spain. An example of a natural area that overlooks and supports heritage sites, specifically in the case study: The Royal Alcazar of Seville, declared together with the Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indias in the city of Seville.
