Paisaje, patrimonio y turismo: expresión sistémica en la integración del Corredor Bioceánico Central

Abstract

The territorial transformation being undergone by the Rural Department of Iglesia in San Juan‑ ‑Argentina opens up “opportunities” for development that may represent threats to its sustainability. The con‑ solidation of the Central Bio‑Oceanic corridor foresees new scenarios such as the construction of the Paso de Agua Negra International Tunnel, aimed at promoting integration and demanding, as a result, provision of utilities and amenities that broaden the horizon for regional planning, to compensate for previous partial projects. The aim of this research is to give a critical review of previous conceptual and methodological approaches to Heritage, Landscape and Tourism, as addressed in “The Plan of land use and territorial development for the rural area of Iglesia “. The aim is to provide a theoretical‑methodological approach that allows for an understanding of the systemic reality and of how landscape and heritage can be classified in a functional manner to structure tourism. Essential rural planning criteria are considered within the framework of the nascent heritage tourism vocation. The discussion and conclusions underline the systemic importance of these concepts as an input for all planning and territorial organisation. The broaching of alternative contextualised situations of development poses inter‑ disciplinary challenges to heritage conservation and possible alienation of the location from its territory.
