Abstract (EN): Natural deterioration caused by the ageing of the materials and their exposure to severe environmental conditions leads to a significant increase of the vulnerability of constructions. When facing the need to make conservation interventions to preserve or restore degraded cultural heritage elements, there are a number of restrictions that must be dealt with. Such restrictions are related to the safeguarding of the heritage¿s cultural value and significance that has to be weighed against safety and durability requirements, as well as against duration and budget constraints of the intervention. To assist in this decision-making process, a methodology is proposed which consists of an intervention index that gauges the criteria influencing the type of intervention. The development of this index is presented for the decisionmaking process related to the conservation intervention scheduled for the reinforced concrete decorative elements of the 20th century Teatro Nacional de São João (São João National Theatre), in Porto, Portugal. The selected criteria are presented and the advantages of the proposed procedure for the development of a sustainable conservation plan are addressed.
