LOPEZ-ZAPATA, Ledys Vianey; SEPULVEDA, Wilmar Mauricio  and  GOMEZ-GOMEZ, Johan Sebastián. Landscape Perception from the Tourist's View ofSome Urban Transformation Spaces of Medellin, Colombia. Territ. [online]. 2018, n.39, pp.175-201. ISSN 0123-8418.

The urban intervention policies have contributed to the revitalization of different cities around the world, generating tourism-focused areas in urbanistically transformed territories and some with characteristics of precarious settlements. This article presents the results of the research on the visitor's perception in the territories of urban transformation in Medellin, Colombia. A descriptive research strategy of mixed approach was used. The main findings show that the study areas are frequented by international tourists (68 %), who have higher levels of interaction with the local population (67 %) and consume more frequently products and services offered by this local population (65 %).

Keywords : Urban transformations; communication and trade relations; informal territories; slum tourism; population's attitude.
