“…However, the connection heritage object and place cannot be understood as a 1-1 relationship, coming the concept of scale into play, an intrinsic attribute of existing places through a hierarchy. In the words of same authors, the notion of scale complicates the conceptualization of heritage, since each heritage element belongs to several scales and in each one of them receives an interpretation that can be conflicting [2]. In other words, each heritage element is located in a place, conceptualized from different perspectives that arise from different geographical scales.…”

Heritage and space establish reciprocal relations that have been studied for decades. On the one hand, heritage has been described as an inherently spatial phenomenon. On the other hand, places are defined according to the attributes that make up their identity, among which heritage is a fundamental instrument. On the basis of the idea that education plays an important role in the socialization process, transmitted by the inherited culture, to integrate each subject within the specific community, and the notion of scale as the closest to heritage, we defined as general objectives to determine the relationships between geographic scales, heritage perspective and the didactic potential granted to heritage, within the framework of the construction of collective identities, and to contrast the perspectives of students and teachers regarding the geographical scale, heritage and their didactic potential, deducing implications for educational practices. In order to answer to these objectives, we carried out a non-experimental quantitative research, with a relational-predictive objective. Specifically, we used a survey method, being the context the whole of the local scale (Fuente Álamo, Murcia, Spain) and acting as participants all students and teachers of Secondary Education (n = 459) linked to social sciences. They answered the Test on Didactic Potentiality of Heritage according to Scale (TDPHS), and its information was analysed through different procedures (Spearman’s correlations, descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U…), using the statistical programs SPSS. The results show, on the one hand, that the scalar perspective scores are generally low, heritage perspective is consistent with the consideration of the scales, and the perceived didactic potential in relation to heritage is related to the importance given to each of the scales; and, on the other hand, the contrast in the perspectives of students and teachers regarding the geographical scale, heritage and their didactic potential is minimal.

To preserve, protect, present, and examine heritage is a political act. It is framed by the values and agendas of the individuals, communities, and societies that invest importance in objects, sites, places, and practices in their environment. From the 1980s, scholars in the field have stressed the political agenda inherent in the delineation of heritage. This has formed the basis of critical heritage studies, an approach that emphasizes how the representation of the past serves as a tool of social control but also possesses the capacity for resistance and dissent. However, such associations have been present since the origins of the antiquarian movement in the West during the early modern period (1500–1750 ce ). By defining heritage, whether cultural or natural, we engage in debates regarding power, capitalism, democracy, identity, and place.
