Abstract
ORTIZ ALVAREZ, María Inés; TAMAYO PEREZ, Luz María Oralia and VILLASENOR FRANCO, Alma. A method for analysing the urban cultural landscape of Zacatecas. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.1, pp.83-106. Epub June 01, 2024. ISSN 0123-3769.
We propose key criteria that allow analysis of the urban cultural landscape of heritage cities; they are based on the proposals set out by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). To illustrate the use of these criteria is taken Zacatecas. Emphasis is placed on the natural and cultural values whose uniqueness gives each heritage city its own character. Included in the analysis and evaluation is the natural landscape that surrounds it and that is considered part of its heritage; it is important to identify when this landscape is threatened by population growth or other factors.
Keywords : urban cultural landscape; proposed methodology.
