Abstract
Among this article the author presents an analysis of the planification of social habitat in the Quebrada de Humahuaca (Argentina); World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO in 2003. The case study in the location of Tilcara shows up like the epicenter of the recent development of regional tourism, the increasing regional real estate valorization and its potential socio-environmental risk in new living sites. Likewise, the consequent transformation of the territorial ordering is crossed by these three processes: which the more relevant result is the gentrification in rural and urban spaces, and the expected effect of the local displacement to peripheric areas with geomorphological hazard by landslides. At the same time, the investigation intervenes in the phenomenon of social and land living, examining the more recent habitat planning program, the economic activities (specially the tourism) and different series of real estate values (in US dollars), between 2004 and 2018. Finally, the conclusion asserts in the urgent requirement of hydraulic and infrastructure public policies, improving the social habitat situation; also, proposes the productive diversification to counter the actual dependence of tourism industry; additionality, further statal intervention in COVID-19 pandemic panorama, in the face of economic crisis.Keywords:
