Resumen: This study examines public attitudes toward the preservation of decommissioned fossil-fuel power plants as industrial heritage, focusing on the As Pontes case in Spain. Survey data from local and national populations were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis to reveal underlying opinion structures. Results highlight a tension between heritage conservation and economic redevelopment, emphasizing the importance of community perspectives in heritage policy and the contested nature of post-industrial land-use decisions.
