Abstract
This article is part of the contemporary debate about Urban Conservation Management, based on heritage values. In view of the dichotomy between essential and instrumental values, Conservation has encountered obstacles associated with the missions of the institutions that manage heritage sites and participatory processes. How effective are the shared management mechanism? To analyze this issue, the case study of the Metropolitan Park Armando de Holanda Cavalcanti was taken, located in the Northeast Region of Brazil, whose conservation has raised a conflict between residents and managers thus, contributing for insignificant results. It will be analyzed the Park registration process and the action plans prepared in 2010 and 2018, with the purpose of identifying how the participation of entities related to heritage has contributed to the decision-making. For the success of conservation processes, speeches must be aligned with local realities, and ensure the effective participation of all actors involved.
