Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: In order to understand the transformation processes of the Cultural Landscape Humahuaca Gorge (Jujuy, Argentina)before and after the UNESCO declaration (2003), this work essays the redraw and construction of new cartographies asan instrument of territory knowledge. Deliberate reading of the territory, from different scales of observation and layersof information, allows us to delve into the structuring elements and patterns of change: asymmetry in topography andwater courses configuration, transversality of communication axes, transformation of existing urban fabric and recenturban growth of towns and allotments, as well as evolution in the assessment of heritage resources and tourist sites.Finally, the discussion focus on some areas and renewed proposal topics arising from the cartographic analysis, andthat pose questions about territory limits; the understanding of the gorge as a cultural route and the enhancement ofcertain cross subsystems; as well as the recent patterns of discontinuous growth in new neighborhoods or allotments.
