Description
Summary:	Eng: Tourism in Villa de Leyva as the dominant economic activity has influenced public management geared towards tourism development, where the local community perceives this activity to benefit the conservation of cultural heritage to strengthen local investment and increase the value of the land in a process of urban and suburban expansion. The present investigation is oriented by the development of the general objective which consists of explaining the socio-spatial transformations caused by tourism in Villa de Leyva, which are related to the distribution and interrelation in the space of activities related to tourism; the development of tourist activities from the social, economic and environmental dimensions, the functional transformation of Villa de Leyva in terms of land use changes and the generation of new interdependencies. The analysis of socio-spatial transformations was carried out from the geography of tourism, which conceives of geographical space as a social product, on the scale of "place" study, where integrality and interrelations with the external environment intervene. The theoretical framework led to the understanding of cultural tourism and second-home tourism from geography as analytical perspectives that reveal new social practices. The development of empirical research was guided by a methodological design consisting of a mixed analysis with the application of semi-structured surveys and interviews, complemented by a multi-time space analysis of the urban and rural areas in the Monquirá, El Roble, Salto and Lavandera and Sabana. The research used cartographic files, results of previous investigations, plans made from field work, aerial photography, satellite images, and property cadastral information. The results of the research contribute to regional public management by spatially presenting the dynamics that tourism has caused, in terms of tourism flows and the expansion of tourism activities, changes in land use, subdivision and property valuation, and the arrival of new settlers.
