Paisaje cultural patrimonializado: conceptos y aportes sobre la base de tres casos de estudio. Provincia de Mendoza, Argentina

Abstract

Heritage is important always in tourism and its presentation offers various areas of analysis such as time differences, social agents involved and the geographic scale. In this research, we present the perspec‑ tives of the scientists and managers. In order to establish a parallel between both perspectives, the analysis is located in Guaymallen and Maipu, Province of Mendoza, Argentina., both of which form part of the Northern oasis and have major parts of their territory within the Metropolitan Area of Mendoza. The data provided by the institution responsible for heritage in Mendoza, are confronted with the theory and new trends in the aca‑ demic field of heritage management. The concept of cultural heritage landscape is briefly developed in order to provide a possible theoretical framework in which to permit further research on the subject.
