Abstract
Tourism has become an opportunity to promote the local development of cities, producing processes of patrimonialization and valuation of resources that can attract the interest of tourists and visitors. The objective of this research is to characterize the processes of patrimonialization and tourism valorisation, carried out by the different actors involved, paying special attention to community participation in the paleontological resources found in the coastal environment of Pehuen Có, which are part of the Geological, Paleontological and Archaeological Reserve Pehuen Có - Monte Hermoso. Methodologically, a bibliographic review is proposed regarding the processes of patrimonialization and tourist valuation, as well as the governance of common resources reaching an enriched theoretical framework, in order to be able to analyze prior to carrying out a fieldwork, how these processes have developed in the case of study itself. The results show that, in the aforementioned processes, multiple social actors have intervened and there is conflicting participation with respect to patrimonial resources.
Key words: patrimonialization, community action, paleontological resources, tourism, Pehuen Có, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
