Abstract

Coastal areas are natural spaces with a high economic and tourist potential due to their access to the sea; however, the municipalities of the Department of Córdoba located in these ecosystems have a low financial and administrative performance measurement, due to the difficulties they have in mobilizing their own resources and managing territorial planning. In this sense, the city-citizen relationship established in the urban construction processes in two coastal municipalities of the department is analyzed from the point of view of living as a diagnosis of the urban needs of these places. It was approached from a mixed approach with sequential explanatory design and the survey of urban imaginaries was applied with questions of subjective nature about the feeling-thinking of the population in their territory. The results allow affirming that the aesthetic niches in both municipalities are adequate for their inhabitants between what they like (beach-tourist potential) and what they dislike (deficit of infrastructure and public services). (lack of infrastructure and public services) of the place where their socio-cultural, economic and political practices are rooted. economic and political practices are rooted. Taking into account that the territorialization processes in this region have been slow, it is region have been slow, urban management is required to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants in their environment. the quality of life of the inhabitants in their environment.
