    (Universidad EAFIT, 2019) Medina Sánchez, Clara Marcela; Garcés Uribe, Olga Lucía; Ceballos Ochoa, Lina María
    This article presents the results of a qualitative research based on the associations and motivations of Medellín the citizens of medium-high socioeconomic strata (4, 5 and 6) in front of the Arví park, a protected forest reserve located in the limits of Medellín that works as an open natural park to the public since 2010. The Arví Park Corporation, in charge of it, has sought to offer it as an open space to all the inhabitants of the city, but has detected that most of the current visitors are limited to low and medium-low strata (1, 2 and 3). In order to motivate the population segment of upper-middle strata to appropriate of this city heritage, it´s necessary to determine how they perceive the Park and what encourages them to visit it. In order to identify these aspects, this research used the technique of focusing groups with participants belonging to strata 4, 5 and 6 of the city and with ages between 18 and 70 years. The findings suggest that this Park is a positive reference for the city even for people who have not visited it, because it represents a contrast in front of the problems of the city, such as pollution, noise and speed. However, a better dissemination strategy is required on its services, activities and products, so that the population segment studied can access it and appropriate it. In this sense, the research is useful to identify the aspects that Arvi Park should improve in order to get more and more citizens to access and appropriate it, and to show how the public of Medellín is positioned in front of nature tourism.
