The methodology proposed in this work is based on parameters that identify the existing social profile and the profitability of the land. The results obtained corroborate the premises developed in the theoretical framework: demonstrate the influence of policy interventions in historic centres on these environments sociodemographic profile. © 2020 Universidad de Alicante.
