Abstract

The city of Asunción contains a significant set of historic buildings that represent a valuable cultural and architectural heritage in Paraguay. Most of this heritage was built between the 17th and 18th centuries, during various periods marked by Guaraní tradition and culture, experiencing progressive deterioration and the emergence of construction pathologies over time. Although there are considerable efforts by public administrations to preserve local heritage, there are still deficiencies in efficient diagnostic models capable of generating guidelines for the planning and conservation of such historical monuments. This article presents the development of a multicriteria model as a diagnostic tool to assess the conservation status of six heritage buildings in the city. The study defines three relevant diagnostic aspects: aesthetic value, structural condition, and social impact. As a result, a diagnostic assessment and a global satisfaction index were obtained for each evaluated building, allowing the identification of possible levels of deterioration. The findings of the study make it possible to establish a classification of the buildings in order of priority, meaning it was feasible to quantitatively determine which buildings require urgent intervention, contributing a methodological innovation component to public administration decision-making processes for the restoration and conservation of historical monuments.
