The public spaces in Analco neighborhood in the historic center of Puebla show a lack of appropriation on the part of its users, are invaded by the informal commerce and the streets, gardens and pedestrian zones are in inadequate conditions, all of which contributes to their deterioration and insecurity. This article presents a proposal of a participatory management model that contributes to achieve the appropriation and humanization of public spaces and the historical, cultural and landscape heritage of the neighborhood. Understanding the logic of territorial problems implies an epistemological thought that, through a methodology based on action research, promotes the qualitative evaluation of the problem using successive approaches. By doing so, will be able to promote complex thinking and systemic approaches for the construction of knowledge and to understand the process of the neighborhood's evolution where different interests and needs converge for the common well-being.

Keywords : appropriation; public space; participatory management; historical heritage.
