THE GENERAL SAN MARTÍN URBAN NATURE RESERVE AS PART OF THE NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE CITY OF CÓRDOBA

Abstract

This work is part of the research project on the natural and cultural heritage of the City of Cordoba-Argentina as tourist heritage. The selected area of the work -in this case- is the General San Martín Urban Nature Reserve. The City of Córdoba promotes itself as a tourist destination, which does not necessarily imply the protection of the natural and cultural heritage that sustains this activity. The different projects, authorizations, etc. -essentially derived from urban development- in- volve, in most cases, the transfer of assets destined for collective use and enjoy- ment, to private or sectorial usage. The loss of the aforementioned heritage in its entirety -as a result of public policies that reposition these spaces- strips them of their original constitutive object, over which protection and destiny have already been decided as an object of conservation with collective use and enjoyment.
