Resumo: Cultural heritage is considered a fundamental axis for sustainable sociocultural development, capable of strengthening the quality of life and well-being of individuals and communities. It is a legacy of past generations, but it is also a social construction of the present, constantly redefined and transformed, influencing senses of identity and social connectedness. Said development is impossible without the cooperation and inclusion of the community itself in the processes of identification, recognition and heritage management. In this sense, and with the purpose of deepening the knowledge of the heritage of the capital city of the province of San Luis (Argentina), the objective of this work is to preliminarily evaluate its sociocultural sustainability from the perspective of the community and based on on a series of indicators. From a questionnaire carried out with 300 citizens of San Luis, a set of information was obtained on four heritage categories (architectural heritage, movable heritage, intangible heritage and parks and squares) that, evaluated through 5 indicators, allowed the elaboration of a first diagnosis.The results show that there are large differences in the sociocultural sustainability of the different heritage categories analysed. Likewise, interest in heritage information and social mobilization in defense of heritage are the most critical variables for sustainability.
