Landscape and urban imaginaries: dynamics in the construction of identity and sense of place in Sincelejo, Colombia. Estoa [online]. 2020, vol.9, n.18, pp.53-67.

Relations between urban imaginary and landscape are analyzed in a Colombian Caribbean city, Sincelejo, based on the integration of the results of two investigations on the same object of study: the historic center. One works the representations on elements of the public space from a phenomenological approach; the other, from a quantitative approach with the objective of analyzing the environmental and landscape conditions of the historic center, focuses on the inventory of urban trees and the analysis of environmental services it offers to the city. Among the findings, the interdependence relationship between landscape and inhabitant stands out, as well as the formation and consolidation of territorial identities in relation to the landscape. The landscape works as a catalyst for the satisfaction of the desires of multiple individuals. In this process human beings and landscape merge, giving meaning to the place, which turns these dynamics into a heritage to preserve and value in the city.

Palabras clave : Imaginary; landscape architecture; cultural heritage; city center; public space.
