AB Historic centres are undergoing a series of urban transformations as a consequence ofthe processes of touristification, and they are mainly located in pedestrianised public spaces. Theconsequences of the touristification of public space are manifested in its privatisation via the occupationof catering locals and changes to the uses of adjacent buildings. Recent literature has studiedthe touristification of the neighbourhood unit in an exhaustive way, but it has only studied specificvariables of the public space unit. Therefore, an exhaustive study is needed to bring these variablestogether regarding the public space unit. This study proposes a methodology for categorising publicspace in terms of use, with the aim of identifying different patterns of activities with respect totouristification. To this end, a system of use indicators is defined according to the public space andadjacent buildings. This methodology has been tested in the Historic Centre of Malaga, analysinga sample of 54 public spaces and categorising them into five different patterns. This categorisationcould facilitate the planning and regulation by local administrations of activities in the public spaceof the Historic Centre.
