Construction of settlements and community in Buenos aires the case of Los Hornos, Moreno, 2003 to 2015

Abstract

The “settlements” or “land occupations” in Greater Buenos Aires have been the subject of studies and debate in recent years, many discussions revolve around the characteristics of the occupied areas, their spatial forms and who intervenes from different places in the process. However, some relationships between these specificities were little explored. In this context, the objective of this work is to account for the different actors articulation and the space built in the process of extension of these settlements, in order to take into consideration the territories in question in terms of sociability and construction of community. For this, different texts, cartographies, semi-structured interviews and other primary sources were used. From that place it is shown how the frameworks of actors construct the spaces of socialization in a different way according to the strategies that it deploys, and its relation with the conformation of the community.
